I got up at six in the morning and set off to catch the first wave of people entering the park. It was my second time here. There were fewer people than the first time. The right side of the ditch was also fully open, and I could go directly to the primeval forest. This time felt much better than the last time. The weather and food were also better than before. The overall environment of the scenic area has improved a lot, and the highway is also connected to the county town. I hope the scenic area will get better and better!
Plan your time well so that you will be able to visit most of the beautiful lakes if not all.

Nice area to visit. Recommend to start with West gate and leave at South Gate. Then you can manage all park with around 8-10 km of walking
The must place to visit in Chengdu. Our daughter loves it. Go early morning using West gate.

The Dujiangyan Irrigation System is a true marvel. It’s a profound testament to the remarkable wisdom and skill of ancient times—truly admirable.
Dujiangyan is a water conservancy project that was copied and created by Li Bing 2,200 years ago and is still in use today. The park is not big, so it is a good place to learn about water conservancy projects. It is best to hire a guide, which makes the experience meaningful and relaxing.

Regarding transportation, parking was very convenient. The three of us took a taxi from Chengdu. The one-way trip cost about 140 yuan and took about two hours. We checked in to Guanghan the night before and arrived at the museum early the next morning.
Luggage storage was free. It was very smooth, with minimal lines. We purchased a package ticket in advance, which included a guided tour.
Exhibition content: Amazing! Sanxingdui is definitely worth a visit! I was amazed by the ancient wisdom, including bronze artifacts, metallurgy, and even welding techniques! I'll definitely go back if I have the chance!
I went there in April to accompany my mother; the last time I came was in 21 years, when the new museum didn't exist, so this time it still felt very novel 😂 The lady who gave the explanation was very patient, five-star praise!

A visit to Du Fu's Thatched Cottage is a must! It's rich in cultural heritage and has a tranquil environment. Enter through the main gate, where guided tours are available for rent. The main building is just inside the middle section, making it very easy to find. The security staff are also very helpful and helpful, helping guests with guides and directions. Great!
It is larger than the Wuhou Temple and is surrounded by parks. The park is very quiet and there are many children visiting. You must ask for a guide when visiting this kind of cultural attractions, otherwise it is not much different from visiting a park.

We hiked all the way from Baoguo Temple, without any overnight stays, and despite the hardships, we finally reached the Golden Summit of Mount Emei. Since we were hiking and having fun, the entire journey took 20 hours. This climb to the top of Mount Emei was incredibly meaningful! So much fun! My only regret was that we didn't get to see the sunrise and the sea of clouds due to bad weather, but that's okay. I'm sure we'll see Mount Emei again next time!
Golden Summit above the clouds, Mount Emei in the sky!
Amazing!!!
The weather was great, and every photo was stunning! Golden Summit is truly magnificent!❗️❗️ Note: The return train from Leidongping to Emeishan High-Speed Railway Station may close early in case of inclement weather, so please allow ample time for your return trip.

When you come to Wuhou Temple, first visit the Cultural Relics Exhibition Hall to learn about the history of the Three Kingdoms, then go to Jinli Ancient Street to enjoy the scenery when the lights come on in the evening, try the three big cannons, sugar-coated fruits, and watch the Sichuan Opera face-changing, which is super fun!

The Qingcheng Tianxia Tour is definitely worth a visit. We traveled together with a few friends. We started from the high-speed rail station and walked about 4 kilometers to reach the mountain gate. At the entrance of the mountain gate is the Jianfu Palace, with many golden nanmu trees. After entering the mountain gate, you can hardly see the sun. It is a natural forest oxygen bar, so comfortable.
Mount Qingcheng is a breathtakingly beautiful mountain, with rolling peaks and lush greenery, creating an ethereal atmosphere. We visited three Taoist temples on the mountain's front slopes, each boasting vibrant incense offerings, with Taoist priests practicing Zen meditation. We opted for the cable car, which made the entire journey less tiring. After returning to the hotel, we enjoyed a relaxing soak in the hot springs.

Be sure to go when the weather is sunny. The area is covered with travertine deposits and arranged in terraces. The colorful pools, snow-capped mountains, canyons, forests, rapids, and ancient temples complement each other, and it is known as the fairyland on earth. Due to the high altitude, you should slow down and enjoy the scenery.
The nanny car booked at 20:00 the day before departed at 7:30 the next morning. The journey took about 2.5 hours to reach the scenic area gate. The driver drove steadily and had a good attitude. He told us: This car will go to Huanglong Jiuzhaigou Station at 15:50. The luggage can be left on the car and the ticket can be purchased on board.

This legend has added a little mystery to Siguniang Mountain, and also made tourists feel the spirit and warmth of the land more when visiting.
The effort to get there: 3 hours drive from Dujiangyan / 4 hours drive from Chengdu (and do note this is when there’s little/ no jam) for the views on a cloudy/ gloomy/ rainy weather is just not worth it…. My tip is to probably wait for the trains to be built in a couple of years before visiting! The hiking isn’t difficult but the beauty pales in comparison to Jiuzhaigou
