[2024 Guangyuan Attraction] Travel Guide for Chuandong'an (Updated Nov)

Chuandong Tiankeng.

Zengjia Mountain Chuandong Temple, also known as Chuandong Tiankeng, is located in Guangyuan City, Sichuan Province. Zengjia Mountain has a unique geological landscape and is known as the "Kingdom of Karst Caves" and the "Hometown of Stone Forest Caves". The unique karst landform is quite spectacular, and the scenic spots in the area are beautiful, which is amazing. The sinkhole is about 40 meters high and the area in the pit is about 3,000 square meters. There are 12 large and small funnels in the cave, which include various types. It is a natural funnel museum. Among them, the largest Feitian Palace is a world-class large funnel with a volume of about 16 million cubic meters. The most beautiful moment of Chuandong Temple is when the sun shines down. Unfortunately, the weather was not good. We arrived on a cloudy day and missed the interlacing of light and shadow, leaving a little regret. Zengjia Mountain is one of the top ten summer resorts. The ticket is 50 yuan per person.

Guangyuan Zengjiashan - Natural oxygen bar, known as the kingdom of karst caves and stone forest villages.

🏝 Zengjiashan has an average summer temperature of 23°C and a high concentration of negative oxygen ions. It is mainly a summer resort for health preservation. Many villagers have built new houses and upgraded them to farmhouses. Here you can enjoy spring outings, summer resorts, autumn leaves, and winter snow. 🏝 The words "Zengjiashan, one of the top ten summer resorts" are written on the hillside. It is not known which organization rated it as one of the top ten, but the mountain is indeed cool. The billboards along the way attract tourists with slogans such as "Summer temperature 23, average altitude 1300, negative oxygen ions 33000, healthy longevity 130". 🏝 Located in the Qinba Mountains, Zengjiashan is neither strange nor dangerous, but it has dense vegetation and a forest coverage rate of at least 80%, which should have been formed in the past two decades. In recent years, it has gradually become a popular summer resort. The scenic area is vast. From the visitor center, driving deep into the mountains, it takes more than 40 minutes to drive only half of the scenic loop. Driving slowly in the green mountains, the breeze with the scent of the forest blows, and the red raspberries are faintly visible in the bushes. The highest point in the scenic area is Longshen Pavilion, which is nearly 1900 meters above sea level. Climbing to the top of the building, the clouds disperse, and you can see the surrounding scenery in a 360-degree view. The green mountains surge like waves, which is spectacular. 🏝 I have also visited some famous karst caves, but I have never been very interested in this kind of stalactite natural landscape. However, the plank road built along the rock wall leads to the bottom of the valley, and when you walk into the Zengjiashan Tiankeng, you can't help but be shocked by the ingenuity of nature! The vastness of the Tiankeng and the depth of the cave are truly breathtaking. There are pits in the cave, and there are caves in the pits. The sound of gurgling water can be heard from the deep ravine. Standing at the head of the huge Tiankeng, looking at the small figures opposite, its grand scale can be described as magnificent. 🏝 One by one, the urn-shaped vertical caves have no top or bottom. The deepest part of the Tiankeng is said to be more than 50 meters, which is equivalent to more than 20 floors. Crystal water droplets fall from the top of the cave, and the warm and cold air currents in the cave form a misty atmosphere, floating in the air. The skylight shines from the top of the cave, hitting the mist, creating a sense of fantasy. As you walk along the winding karst cave, the colorful lights arranged to attract tourists flicker in red and green, and the dragon patterns appear in the air like lightning, which makes people smile. 🏝 Not far outside the cave, the towering stone stalagmites on the surface are another sight. The towering stone peaks, or like paintings, or like giant stone pillars, are imposing and spectacular against the backdrop of green mountains. 🚥【Traffic Guide】 ⭐️ Buy a ticket directly to "Chaotien" station, take a taxi from the train station to Yangshenggu ⭐️ It is more convenient to drive by yourself, you can drive directly to the visitor center

Sichuan Guangyuan Chuandong Temple, the largest high mountain sinkhole in northern Sichuan

⛰️Chuandong Temple is located in Xiangshui Village, Zengjia Town, Guangyuan City, Sichuan Province, where green trees hide a huge sinkhole, which combines geological collapse, karst caves, and dark rivers. In 2014, it was hailed as a must-see beauty in Sichuan. The path to the sinkhole is paved with local keel stones and wood. Along the way, the trees are lush and flowers are distributed. Gradually going down and slowly entering the sinkhole, even in the hot summer, the whole body cools down. The cave is quiet and cool, with gurgling water, forming two completely different worlds from the outside. Standing at the bottom of the sinkhole, looking up, a beam of sunlight shoots straight down from the huge round hole naturally formed at the top, forming a hundred-meter light column. Through the light column, the blue sky and white clouds are clearly visible. 🎊Play: There are three attractions inside, Yanyun Cave, Jinlong Cave, and Sinkhole. This time it has been completely renovated, I think the attractions are not bad, some of them are quite shocking ⚠️Note: The temperature inside the cave is very low, maybe just twelve or thirteen degrees. It's very cold, remember to bring a jacket. 🚗Transportation: Self-driving (the road is not very wide, just enough for wrong cars, the road condition is good, just a bit more bends) 🎫Tickets: 50/person Chuandong Temple and Shijunping are bundled for sale
