You can watch the pandas up close. You can see them from the young to adulthood. The children are very happy. The flowers are queued too long. I didn't see them in a hurry. This is a pity. I have a chance to go again in the future.

Attractions
- Golden Summit: As the essence of Mount Emei, the four-sided golden statues of Samantabhadra on the Golden Summit are solemn and dignified, shining brightly under the sun, giving people a strong visual impact and spiritual shock. Climb to the top and look far away. If the weather is clear, you can see the wonders of the sea of clouds, sunrise, Buddha light, holy lights, etc. The magnificent scenery is intoxicating.
- Ecological Monkey Area: The monkeys here are lively and clever, which is a major feature of Mount Emei. Visitors can observe the living habits of monkeys up close, but they must pay attention to safety and do not feed or tease them at will to avoid being scratched by monkeys.
- Qingyin Pavilion: Located at the foot of Niuxinling, at the confluence of black and white waters, the pavilions have flying eaves and corners, which complement the surrounding mountains and waters. Here, the streams are gurgling, the trees are shady, and the quiet environment makes people happy physically and mentally, as if they are in a fairyland.
- Wannian Temple: It is one of the ancient temples with a long history in Mount Emei. The temple has magnificent buildings and houses a bronze statue of Samantabhadra riding an elephant, which is beautifully shaped and exquisitely crafted. The temple is surrounded by towering ancient trees and a quiet environment, full of a strong Buddhist cultural atmosphere.
Transportation
- External transportation: The transportation between Mount Emei and surrounding cities such as Chengdu is very convenient, whether taking the high-speed rail or driving. It takes less than an hour to reach Mount Emei Station by high-speed rail from Chengdu East Station. After exiting the station, there are tourist buses that go directly to the scenic area, which are seamlessly connected and save tourists' time and energy.
- Internal transportation: The sightseeing buses and cableways in the scenic area provide great convenience for tourists. The sightseeing bus travels on the winding mountain road, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the mountains along the way. The operation of the Jinding Cableway and the Wannian Cableway has greatly shortened the time and physical exertion of tourists climbing the mountain, making a one-day tour possible.
In terms of catering
- Rich specialties: There are many kinds of food in Mount Emei, including snow konjac, Mount Emei tofu pudding, and cross-legged beef. Snow konjac tastes smooth and chewy, absorbing the deliciousness of the soup; Mount Emei tofu pudding has a strong flavor and rich ingredients, which makes people have endless aftertaste.
- Diverse dining options: There are restaurants and snack stalls near various scenic spots in the scenic area, and tourists can choose according to their tastes and budgets. In places such as Jinding and Leidongping, there are restaurants that provide full meals, as well as small shops selling snacks and drinks, which are convenient for tourists to replenish energy.
In terms of service facilities
- Clear signs and guidance: The signboards in the scenic area are reasonably set up, whether it is the indication of scenic spots, route guidance or safety tips, they are clear and clear, even first-time visitors can easily find where they want to go.
- Adequate rest facilities: There are rest areas on the way to the mountain and at various scenic spots, equipped with benches, pavilions and other rest facilities for tourists to rest and adjust their physical strength. In addition, the scenic area also has multiple toilets with good sanitary conditions, which can basically meet the needs of tourists.
The large-capacity cableway cargo box can carry more than 100 people at a time, and the operation process is stable. The scenery along the line is beautiful! However, the queue during the May Day holiday is really torturous, but this is not the problem of the cableway itself. Therefore, it is recommended that you do not come to play during the Golden Week or other peak seasons. After queuing for three or four hours and still not being able to sit, you really have to doubt your life😰

The thousand-year-old Dujiangyan is indeed worthy of its reputation, with beautiful mountains, water and scenery. It is worth a visit. The wisdom of the ancients thousands of years ago was so high that one cannot help but admire it. If the weather is good, you can also see the snow-capped mountains next to it, which is another scene.

Very serious. It is worth coming here to see. The mulberry tree in the mountains and seas is the same as the god beast tree unearthed in the ancient yu! The continuous excavation of Samsungdui is rewriting the history of East Asian civilization: it proves that there was a highly developed regional civilization in the Chengdu Plain at 30° north latitude. Its theocratic political model and pan-theological belief system are in stark contrast to the secular royalty of the Central Plains, providing a key to understanding the multi-integrity pattern of Chinese civilization. Key physical evidence.
Fortunately, I chose to go to Samsungdui on non-holidays. The people who visited were still within the acceptable range. I just met the school research. A bunch of primary school students affected some perceptions. They could visit some exhibits up close. The teacher was serious and responsible. It is recommended

The historical and cultural heritage is profound. Just walking around and looking around is not enough to understand. It is recommended to listen to the tour guide's explanation. However, the tour guide at the door is not trustworthy. You can rent a voice machine for explanation, which is more interesting.
Du Fu Thatched Cottage is located at No. 37 Qinghua Road, Qingyang District, Chengdu City, Sichuan Province. It is the former residence of Du Fu, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, when he lived in Chengdu. It is also a holy place in the history of Chinese literature.
The following is a detailed introduction to Du Fu Thatched Cottage:
Historical evolution
In the winter of 759 AD, Du Fu came to Chengdu with his family to avoid the An-Shi Rebellion and built a "thatched cottage" by the Huanhua River. Du Fu lived here for three years and nine months, and wrote more than 240 poems that have been passed down to this day. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the poet Wei Zhuang found the ruins of the thatched cottage and rebuilt the thatched cottage. Since then, Du Fu Thatched Cottage has undergone a total of fourteen large-scale repairs and expansions from the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties to the present. After the founding of New China, in 1952, Du Fu Thatched Cottage was officially opened to the public after a comprehensive renovation. The Du Fu Memorial Hall was established in 1955 and renamed the Chengdu Du Fu Thatched Cottage Museum in 1985.
Building layout
Du Fu Thatched Cottage covers an area of nearly 300 mu, and has completely preserved the architectural layout of the renovation and expansion in the 13th year of Hongzhi in the Ming Dynasty (1500) and the 16th year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty (1811). In the old site of the thatched cottage, the screen wall, the main gate, the main hall, the poetry and history hall, the wooden gate, and the Ministry of Works Temple are arranged on a central axis, with symmetrical corridors and other ancillary buildings on both sides. There are winding water, small bridges, and bamboo trees in between, which appear solemn, simple and elegant, deep and quiet, beautiful and clear.
Main attractions
• The main hall: It is an open hall-style building. "Hall" means official office, that is, the place where local officials worked in ancient times. Du Fu had a rough career and was not reused, but he "never forgot the emperor at every meal" and "worried about the people all year round". His patriotic and caring heart for the people remained unchanged until his death. Considering that since Du Fu had been an official, he should have a place to work, so the main hall was named after him.
• Poetry and History Hall: It is the main building on the central axis. The 1,455 poems left by Du Fu truly reflect the history of the Tang Dynasty from prosperity to decline. Du Fu was revered as the "Poet Saint" by later generations, and his poems were called "Poetry History", so the Poetry and History Hall got its name.
• Gongbu Temple: When Du Fu was in Chengdu, he was recommended by his friend Yan Wu, who was then the governor of Chengdu and the governor of Jiannan East and West Sichuan, as the inspector of Gongbu, so later generations respectfully called him Du Gongbu, and called the temple in his memory Gongbu Temple.
• Thatched House: It was restored and rebuilt in 1997 based on the description of Du Fu's poems and the pattern of the Ming Dynasty, recreating the pastoral style of the poet's former residence and creating a strong poetic atmosphere.
• Shaoling Stele Pavilion: It is one of the most representative buildings of Du Fu's Thatched Cottage. It is a pavilion with a thatched roof. There is a stone stele inside, engraved with four large characters "Shaoling Thatched Cottage", with strong pen power and beautiful pen posture.

For those who are interested in the Three Kingdoms, I definitely recommend a visit. I personally have a few points of interest:
1. The calligraphy of "Chu Shi Biao" written by Yue Fei is awesome👍🏻
2. The calligraphy of "Gong Xin Lian" is ugly;
3. The ears of Liu Bei's statue are really big.
The environment here is quaint and close to Jinli Ancient Street. After the tour, you can taste many local snacks in the ancient street.
There are many Wuhou Temples, the most famous of which are the Chengdu Wuhou Temple and the Mian County Wuhou Temple. The following is a related introduction:
Chengdu Wuhou Temple
• Historical origin: It originated from the construction of Liu Bei's Huiling in the first year of Zhangwu (221 AD) of Emperor Zhaolie of Shu Han, and the Han Zhaolie Temple was built at the same time. Around 500 AD during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Wuhou Temple was moved from Chengdu's "Shaocheng" to the side of Huiling and Han Zhaolie Temple. In the 23rd year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1390), Zhu Chun, the King of Shu Xian in the Ming Dynasty, combined Huiling, Han Zhaolie Temple, and Wuhou Temple into one. It was destroyed in the war at the end of the Ming Dynasty. It was restored and rebuilt on the old site in the 10th year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty (1671), forming the current layout.
• Building layout: It now covers an area of 150,000 square meters and consists of three parts: the Three Kingdoms Cultural Heritage Protection Area, the Three Kingdoms Cultural Experience Area (i.e. the West District, formerly the Nanjiao Park) and the Jinli Folk Customs Area. The cultural relics area is the main part. Most of the existing buildings were built in the Qing Dynasty. It consists of the main gate, the second gate, the Liu Bei Hall, the Zhuge Liang Hall and the Sanyi Temple. It faces south and is arranged on a central axis with a strict and open layout. To the west of the central axis is Huiling, which contains the tomb of Liu Bei and the two queens Gan and Wu.
• Collection of cultural relics: The collection of cultural relics is rich. The movable collections are mainly from the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period and cultural relics derived from the influence of the Three Kingdoms culture, including calligraphy, paintings, ancient books, pottery, porcelain, bronzes, etc. At the end of 2022, there were 6,686 pieces (sets) of registered cultural relics, including 620 pieces (sets) of precious cultural relics.
Wuhou Temple in Mian County
• Historical origin: Located on the side of National Highway 108, 3 kilometers west of Mian County, Shaanxi Province, it was built in the sixth year of Jingyao of Shu Han (263 AD). It is the earliest Wuhou Temple in the country and the only one built by the emperor (Liu Chan, the last emperor of Shu) and is known as the "No. 1 Wuhou Temple in the World".
• Architectural layout: The temple covers an area of more than 80 acres and has gone through more than 1,700 years. It integrates ancient buildings, gardens, literature, art, calligraphy and painting, sculptures, and paintings. It is the largest ancient building complex in southern Shaanxi. The main buildings include the mountain gate, music tower, archway, piano tower, halberd gate, worship hall, main hall, Chongsheng Temple, Guanjiang Tower, etc.
• Collection of cultural relics: Wuhou Temple in Mian County contains more than 300 cultural relics such as steles, bells, drums, etc. from the Han Dynasty, more than 60 plaques and couplets, and 18 ancient cypresses planted by Wuhou.

How can I not see the Big Buddha when I arrive in Leshan? When tourists from other places came to see Daen is the business card of Leshan. It really didn’t disappoint me. When I saw the Big Buddha, I felt very shocked. I queued up and went down the plank road to see the Buddha’s feet.

Qingcheng Mountain is located in the southwest of Dujiangyan City, Chengdu City, Sichuan Province, 68 kilometers east of Chengdu City, and 10 kilometers southwest of Dujiangyan Water Conservancy Project. It is one of the important birthplaces of Chinese Taoist culture and a famous tourist destination.
The following is a detailed introduction to Qingcheng Mountain:
Natural Landscape
• Geographical Location: Qingcheng Mountain is located in the transition zone between the Sichuan Basin and the southeast edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, in the middle section of the Longmenshan Fault Zone. Its mountain range belongs to the branch of the Qionglai Mountains, backed by the Minjiang River, overlooking the Chengdu Plain, and the scenic area covers an area of 200 square kilometers.
• Geomorphic Features: Qingcheng Mountain was formed by the sandstone and conglomerate strata formed by the deposition of ancient oceans and lakes under the action of tectonic movements such as the Indosinian Movement, the Yanshan Movement, and the Himalayan Movement. The mountains gradually rose into mountains accompanied by the overall uplift of the western Sichuan mountains, and eventually formed the Danxia landform of "Danyan Valley and Chibi Steep Cliffs" today.
• Climate characteristics: Qingcheng Mountain is located in the middle and northern section of the rain screen belt in western China. It is surrounded by clouds and mist for a long time, with extremely abundant precipitation. The annual average temperature is about 15℃, and the climate is pleasant all year round. It is a summer resort.
• Vegetation resources: Qingcheng Mountain has rich plant species, with a preliminary estimate of about 346 species, including 51 ferns and 295 seed plants, including rare plants such as ginkgo and magnolia, and is known as the "gene bank of nature".
Cultural landscape
• Taoist culture: Qingcheng Mountain is one of the birthplaces of Taoism. Chinese Taoism was founded, formed and developed here, and has a history of more than 1,800 years. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Ling came to Qingcheng Mountain to preach, "built a hut to preach" here, and was named Zhang Tianshi. There are more than ten "palaces and temples" on Qingcheng Mountain, including Jianfu Palace, Shangqing Palace, Yuanming Palace, etc.
• Cultural relics and historical sites: The palaces and temples in Qingcheng Mountain house a large number of ancient cultural relics and handwritings of modern masters, such as the Tang Xuanzong Zongshi stele in Tianshi Cave and Zhuge Liang's pre- and post-departure memorials written by Yue Fei. It is a living Taoist "museum" spanning thousands of years.
With water Dujiangyan, ask Qingcheng Mountain. The tour guide lady is very good, every attraction is seriously explained in detail, much more efficient than your own play, and the knowledge is more comprehensive! Like Miss Sister 👍 There is no addition to the whole process, pure play without shopping, great value!

Huanglong Scenic Area is known as the "human Dianchi Lake", known for its spectacular natural beauty and rich ecological diversity. The colorful pool, snow-capped mountains, lakes and canyons here constitute a beautiful picture, breathtaking!
Jiuzhaigou is still in autumn. In winter, there are many scenery that can't be seen. Many lakes are frozen and frozen. The more you go up, the colder you get. There is a commercial street in the scenic area, which is a common chain store. The price is more expensive, but the scenic area can also understand. If the scenic spot is not fully open, it also takes 5-6 hours!
