Just 1.5 Hours from Chengdu! Step into a Real-Life Emerald Forest

Just 1.5 hours from Chengdu! Step into a Real-Life Emerald Forest🌳 Chengdu friends, looking for a cool and fun place to escape the summer heat? Today I'm sharing an amazing hidden retreat—Nanbaosan Mountain in Qionglai. It's just a 1.5-hour drive from Chengdu, making it a perfect weekend getaway! The average summer temperature here is only 25°C. Stepping into Nanbaosan Mountain feels like entering a real-life emerald forest. High mountains, deep valleys, hundred-meter waterfalls, and pristine forests—everywhere you look is lush greenery. Locals say temperatures sometimes drop to just 10°C in summer, making it a natural air-conditioned oxygen bar! 📍Navigation: Simply search for "Qionglai Nanbaosan Mountain." It's super convenient to drive there, just 1.5 hours steadily from Chengdu. 🎫Tickets: I recommend buying the shuttle bus plus admission combo ticket for just 39.9 yuan—great value! The full ticket costs over 100 yuan but many attractions aren't open, so it's not worth it. The jungle trek, love zipline, glass slide, and dinosaur valley are average attractions, so there's no need to buy the full ticket just for these. 💡Fun fact: Nanbaosan Mountain is also known as "Wenjun's Hometown," hiding the romantic love story of Zhuo Wenjun and Sima Xiangru. While exploring, you can also experience the charm of this historical culture! 🌟Travel guide: Here's an excellent hiking route that offers immersive oxygen therapy and is super stress-relieving! Start from Heart Island with its cloud umbrellas and colorful balloons creating a romantic atmosphere perfect for photos that will blow up your social media. Next, visit Qin Terrace to feel the historical charm. Then stroll along the Love Corridor and Camellia Trail, which feels like walking through a fairy tale with beautiful scenery at every step. The Husband-Prospering Platform is also an interesting spot with panoramic views. Further ahead is the Water Forest with its unique landscape that will amaze you. At the Canyon Waterfall, standing beneath the cascading water with fine mist spraying your face instantly cools you down by 10°C, completely eliminating any summer heat. Don't miss the primeval forest with its towering ancient trees blocking the sunlight, creating perfect dappled lighting for forest-style photos. There's also the Tiangang Divine Turtle, which looks incredibly realistic and is full of mystical charm. Finally, challenge yourself on the glass bridge suspended 200 meters above the deep valley—though your legs might feel weak, the thrilling and breathtaking experience is unforgettable! 📌Tips: 1. Wear non-slip, comfortable shoes as some paths in the scenic area have moss and can be slippery. Safety first! 2. There are many insects in the forest, so remember to bring insect repellent to avoid being "surrounded" by mosquitoes. 3. Temperature differences between morning and evening can be significant in the forest, so bring a light jacket that you can put on when cold or take off when hot to prevent catching a chill. 💬Real experience: I spent a whole day there hiking through the primeval forest, hearing only the gentle sounds of streams and crisp birdsong while breathing in the negative ions—it was completely healing. Looking down at the valley from the glass bridge was both frightening and exciting—so thrilling! Coming here to escape the summer heat is absolutely amazing! Grab your friends or family this weekend for a spontaneous forest adventure! Escape the city noise and enjoy the beauty of nature—it's truly delightful!
