2, Chongzhou City Zhongchong Road🚗
Its beauty is almost as famous as Wenyu Road🌟
Half of this road is plane trees🌳, and half is fir trees🌲, the scenery is very unique🎨. However, due to the large number of vehicles on the road🚙, it takes more patience🕰 to capture and shoot📸

Longcanggou is a place I will miss and visit again!
Longcanggou, Chengdu. In November, the autumn scenery is like a colorful painting, with the mountains and forests dyed golden, creating a breathtaking beauty. Walking into this little-known secret place for a slow autumn stroll, you feel like you are in a fairy tale world. The immersive experience of enjoying the autumn scenery is simply wonderful. Now, wait for a sunset above the clouds on the mountain top.
Drive up the mountain road, which is in good condition, and turn to the top of the mountain, as if you are above the clouds. There are several small shops for tea and food. I went to Guiyuan, a book bar with floor-to-ceiling windows, tents on the grass, tea seats under the big trees, and a courtyard with wind, which is so peaceful. The view from the top of the mountain is great, perfect for watching a sunset. Longcanggou National Forest Park

Escape the city! Expected to be popular next month, 2 hours from Chengdu.
Chengdu Longcanggou Travel Guide
1. A great place to escape the city
After two weeks of work, I'm exhausted. It's time to immerse myself in nature. I heard that the colorful forests in the mountains around Chengdu are starting to show. I've been to Mount Qingcheng and Longquan Mountain many times, so I suddenly remembered Longcanggou, which I visited a few years ago. The tickets are cheap, and it's not far from Chengdu. It takes just over two hours to get there from Chengdu. I arrived early, and maybe it hasn't become popular yet, so there weren't many tourists. (I edited the photos! It's not that yellow in reality.) The red leaves in Longcanggou are only 20% red. Occasionally, a few red leaves appear in the dark green forest, which is a unique beauty. I guess when the temperature drops and it rains a few times, the red leaves will turn red in large patches.
2. Travel route and precautions
The mountain path is not difficult to walk. Follow the steps, and you can hear the sound of waterfalls and mountain springs along the way. Walking for a few hours is not too tiring, and it calms the mind, which is very healing. It's more primitive than Mount Qingcheng. It's strange why it hasn't become popular. The elderly and children with nimble legs can walk, but there is a lot of moss on the road, so be careful not to slip! Wear non-slip shoes suitable for hiking. The temperature on the mountain is low, so wear warm clothes. There are sightseeing buses in the scenic area, and you can take one for CNY 20 if you can't walk. Allow 4–5 hours for the round trip. Don't go up the mountain too late. There is little food on the mountain, so bring your own water and snacks.
3. Local food and attractions
There is a Kuanshan Yinlu Hot Spring Hotel at the foot of the mountain. I stayed here the first time I came to Longcanggou. After climbing the mountain and soaking in the hot spring, I felt so comfortable that I fell asleep as soon as I returned to my room. There are many beautiful sights here. In addition to the red leaves and colorful forests, the waterfalls and mountain springs are also spectacular, making it a great place for sightseeing and photography. As for food, there are some small restaurants around the foot of the mountain, offering local specialties such as bacon and sausages, which are very fragrant, as well as various spicy snacks, such as spicy rabbit heads, which are very tasty.

A hidden gem for fall foliage! Longcanggou.
It's already fall foliage season, and the mountains and forests are golden and beautiful! It's so nice to enjoy the fall foliage in the natural forest!
Here's a guide for you!
Longcanggou has two attractions, Tiansheng Bridge and Diecui Stream, which are in two different places, so it's better to visit them over two days.
About the itinerary:
Day 1: Diecui Stream tour guide:
You can take a shuttle bus to the top of the mountain at the entrance of the scenic area and visit from top to bottom. The hike is easy, about 6 km.
The hiking route is a forest boardwalk with many steps, so bring trekking poles and wear non-slip shoes. There are streams and waterfalls along the way.
The forest is golden at this time of year, making it perfect for fall foliage viewing.
Day 2: Tiansheng Bridge tour guide:
You need to take a 45-minute bus ride to the hiking starting point, and there are only two buses a day at 9:30 am and 1:30 pm.
The hiking starting point is a loop, and it's recommended to go clockwise to save some energy. The best photo spot is closer to the left.
The first half of the trail is mainly a forest boardwalk with many steps, so bring trekking poles and wear non-slip shoes.
The second half of the trail has more streams after the waterfall, and the vegetation is very rich, so you won't be exposed to the sun.
There is a very high waterfall that cascades down, which is very majestic and spectacular. The whole trail is 2–3 km, and it took us 3 hours to walk and take photos along the way. Every spot is a healing view.

Hidden gem for reverse tourism | Dragon Cangou's autumn scenery is stunning, hurry up!
| Dragon Cangou's autumn scenery is stunning, hurry up! 😎 I finally succeeded in reverse tourism! Dragon Cangou's autumn scenery is so beautiful that it makes me want to cry. You guys have to go! 🤩
You can arrange it during the National Day holiday. If you haven't seen the colorful forest in autumn, then this autumn is not complete. If you're talking about a good place to see the colorful forest, Dragon Cangou near Chengdu is a must-visit. It's relatively unknown, so there won't be crowds. I heard that the next time the leaves turn red, they will be even more beautiful and worth a visit!
📍Location: Dragon Cangou
🏠Recommended accommodation: Kuanshan Yinlu Hotel at the entrance of the scenic area.
✔️We have a two-day and one-night itinerary.
Day 1: Depart from Chengdu to Dragon Cangou, visit Die Cui Xi, and then check in to Kuanshan Yinlu Hotel.
Day 2: Depart from the hotel to Tian Sheng Qiao, have lunch and return to Chengdu.
✅In addition to taking children on a hike to see the red leaves, the off-road UTV at the entrance of the scenic area is super fun. My child had a great time. Adults who like challenges can also participate in the jungle zipline. After playing, go to the hotel for a hot spring bath. It is said to be natural, and it is really comfortable!
🎈Tips for playing:
✓ The scenic area is relatively large, so it is best to prepare some dry food to replenish energy. There are also places to eat in the scenic area.
✓ If you are hiking in the forest, wear non-slip shoes, walk slowly, and bring a raincoat and umbrella, just in case.
✓ Friends with good physical strength must go to the Tian Sheng Qiao route, which has various waterfalls of different sizes, which is very spectacular!

Ya'an 'forest' breathes~~ The first decent rain of autumn
After being tormented by the autumn tiger for several days, the basin finally welcomed a decent rain.
When I got up early, the stream outside the window was still clear, with two mallards and a mandarin duck swimming in it, and the dam was not yet flooded. After breakfast, at 10 o'clock, the water had risen a bit, and the dam was already submerged. The rain continued to pour, and by 11 o'clock, it had turned into the Yellow River.
The scenic area was closed, so I could only walk outside the scenic area. The air was very fresh, and the scenery was very fairy-like.

Diecui Stream Scenic Area in Longcanggou, Ya'an
The Longcanggou National Forest Park in Ya'an is located in Rongjing County of Ya'an City, about 175 kilometers from Chengdu, with a total area of 7573 hectares. The park is rich in animal and plant resources, with a vegetation coverage rate of over 97%. Longcanggou, Ginseng Gully, and Macao River are three major water systems flowing through it, featuring numerous waterfalls with beautiful scenery and diverse forms. Everywhere you go, you are surrounded by ancient towering trees and greenery.

It is a beautiful place to visit all year round and a great spot for taking photos and checking in.

This place is rich in negative oxygen ions and has fresh air, offering a rare opportunity for a refreshing lung cleanse for people who live in big cities for a long time.
In summary, this scenic area definitely has scenery that surpasses its fame and is worth visiting.

How to Play
The altitude here is not high, and the trails are not difficult to walk.
1) If you are physically fit, you can hike the entire distance, which is less than 12 kilometers.

Transportation

Checked in at Longcanggou National Forest Park
Entering Longcanggou is like stepping into a mysterious world. The dense forests, clear streams, peculiar peaks, and serene canyons make one feel the mystery and grandeur of nature. As you follow the winding mountain roads, every view is breathtaking. In Longcanggou, the most unforgettable sight is the crystal-clear lakes. The water is as green as jade, reflecting the surrounding mountains and trees like a mirror. Swimming or boating in the lake, feeling the cool water, brings joy to the body and mind.
Besides the lakes, Longcanggou also boasts spectacular waterfalls. The waterfalls pour down from high places, with a sound so thunderous it's almost deafening, giving one a sense of nature's power and beauty. Taking photos and sightseeing under the waterfall, one feels as if they are in the midst of a beautiful painting.

Embrace nature, frolic in the green fields, and collect the green spring of Longcanggou, where you are surrounded by lush greenery, making even breathing feel refreshing!

Longcanggou Forest Park Guide
🧭For navigation by self-driving car, enter "Longcanggou National Forest Park Parking Lot". The road conditions are very good all the way, and there are only 3-4 sharp and steep turns on the road up the mountain.
There are two separate scenic areas here, one is Tianshengqiao, and the other is Diecui Stream. It is recommended to visit both scenic areas in one go, as long as you arrive at the scenic area before 11 am, there is no problem to finish both in one day (except when there is a long queue for the shuttle bus during peak season). 🙀Surprisingly, there were very few tourists coming here during this year's Spring Festival.
Reference for this trip (total time spent 5.5 hours):
Take the shuttle bus from the visitor center to Tianshengqiao ➡️ After getting off, walk and visit Tianshengqiao ➡️ After finishing, take the shuttle bus back to the visitor center ➡️ Then take the sightseeing bus to Diecui Stream ➡️ Walk down the mountain and visit Diecui Stream back to the visitor center.
Ps: There is an even better plan that can save some time and the fare for the sightseeing bus to Diecui Stream. That is, after visiting Tianshengqiao, ask the shuttle bus driver to stop at the "Yuhua Waterfall" station on the way down the mountain, get off there, and enter directly from the interior of Diecui Stream, then walk down the mountain for about 1 hour back to the visitor center.
Tianshengqiao: A circular walking scenic area, which feels more suitable for winter, especially when it snows or after snowing, the ice waterfalls inside are indeed worth checking in. Tianshengqiao can only be reached and left by the scenic area shuttle bus. After entering, there is a fork in the road going straight and turning right, you can take either path, it's a circle inside, and you will eventually return to the starting point. ⚠️Important note, when playing after snowing or in snowy conditions, be sure to put ice grips on your shoes, as the snow and ice are very thick throughout, and the steps are almost completely covered by snow and ice. There are many steps going up and down along the way, and it's really easy to fall badly without ice grips, so it's better to buy them in advance or rent them on site.
Diecui Stream: A walking scenic area along a stream, which feels more suitable for spring, autumn, and summer. Today, Tianshengqiao still has thick snow, but the snow in Diecui Stream is almost invisible. There are three ways to visit: one is to take the sightseeing bus up and walk down; the second is to walk up and take the sightseeing bus down; the third is to take the sightseeing bus both up and down (not recommended, it's better not to go if you play this way). ⚠️Important note, there are three points along the walking route where you can take the sightseeing bus midway, so you can choose to take the bus if you can't walk anymore.
🕒Time reference for visiting:
35 minutes by shuttle bus to Tianshengqiao
1-2 hours of walking around Tianshengqiao
15 minutes by sightseeing bus to Diecui Stream
1.5 hours of walking back to the visitor center from Diecui Stream
The uphill sightseeing bus of Diecui Stream ends at 4 pm
The downhill sightseeing bus of Diecui Stream ends between 5 pm and 5:30 pm
🔧Facilities: There are no snack bars throughout both scenic areas, only vending machines selling drinks and snacks like chips and biscuits. Only the visitor center and Tianshengqiao boarding point have food and drinks for sale.

Longcang Gorge
The snow at the natural bridge in Longcang Gorge is really beautiful. It takes 3.5 hours to get to the scenic area from Chengdu, and then change to the scenic area bus for 40 minutes to the natural bridge, and then walk 3 kilometers around the line. It takes longer to take the bus than to walk, but it's really worth it. There are few people and it's a niche attraction, but the snow is really thick and particularly fine, like fluffy cotton. It's a niche attraction, and the reception capacity of the scenic area is indeed not strong, but it's really worth having to see the snow and hike.

Around Chengdu| The way to open late autumn is the Colorful Forest Hot Spring

A gust of autumn wind or a rain can make the leaves all over the ground. But isn't this the bleak feeling of autumn that everyone likes. Take advantage of the late autumn to arrange another autumn tour. Only by entering nature can you truly feel the changes and changes of the four seasons.
The autumn color of the Diecui Creek Scenic Area is strong, and the colorful forest has slowly transitioned from high altitude to low altitude.

Longcangou Forest Park
Forest Park is very large, with lush vegetation and beautiful scenery. We came specifically to breathe fresh air and climb mountains, sweating and taking in the fresh air, feeling refreshed. For those with poor physical strength, we recommend taking a sightseeing car to the top and then slowly walking down the mountain.

Longcangou Forest Park
A primitive forest with low development, except for the shuttle bus up and down the road, there are only a few vending machines on the mountaintop, and there is no food or drink sales along the way. If hiking, you need to bring your own food and water.
The environment is well protected, with rare plants such as pigeon orchid, purple and red magnolia, and solitary orchid.
