You must visit Qingcheng Mountain at least once during the holiday

Not seeking for Taoism, but for tranquility|Detailed guide for a light hike in Qingcheng Mountain||'Bai Suzhen under Qingcheng Mountain, cultivating herself in the cave for a thousand years, ah~ah~' When you come to Qingcheng Mountain, you will inevitably hum this lyric. The legend is beautiful, but I want to say, Qingcheng Mountain is more beautiful than the legend. ❤️My feelings ⛰️Clear: A day's happiness comes from greedily taking a breath of mountain air, as if the air is sweet. ⛰️Green: The mountain is full of green, no matter winter or summer, through the green pines, along the mountain road to the depth, for a light hike. ⛰️Secluded: People say Qingcheng Mountain is for seeking Taoism, but I am not seeking Taoism in this journey, but for tranquility, Qingcheng Mountain is the most secluded in the world. 💡Answer two questions 🔸Q: Which one to choose, the front mountain or the back mountain of Qingcheng Mountain? 🔹A: The front mountain has many historical relics and cultural remains, mainly humanistic landscapes; the back mountain has waterfalls and deep forests, mainly natural landscapes. So just for the scenery and photo shooting, I recommend going to the back mountain. 🔸Q: How long does it take to climb Qingcheng Mountain? Can I go to Dujiangyan on the same day? 🔹A: Absolutely possible, but you need to measure your strength. My experience is that it takes about 5 hours for the front mountain and about 7 hours for the back mountain, including hiking, short rest, and photo shooting. It's feasible to go to Dujiangyan after visiting the front mountain, or to go to Dujiangyan after walking half of the back mountain. Although there is enough time, you are usually tired after climbing Qingcheng Mountain, so you need to measure your strength. 【Transportation】 🚘Self-driving: Navigate to Qingcheng Mountain, which is located at Qingcheng Mountain Station (intercity train station), with a parking lot nearby. 🚄Train: You can take Metro Line 2/6 to Xipu Station in Chengdu city area, and then transfer to the intercity train to Qingcheng Mountain Station (buy the train ticket in advance, 10 yuan per person, about 30 minutes). 【To the scenic area】 ➡️After arriving at Qingcheng Mountain Intercity Train Station, cross the road opposite, buy the electric car to the main entrance of the scenic area under the ancient style archway, 20 yuan for one way, 35 yuan for round trip, about 10 minutes.
