Natural Oxygen Bar - Western Sichuan Bamboo Sea
🚗 1.5 hours from Chengdu to Pingle Ancient Town
🚄 Chengdu South-Qionglai Station 39 minutes 27
Western Sichuan Bamboo Sea - a natural oxygen bar, the scenic area contains natural canyons, tens of thousands of acres of natural bamboo forest growth areas, ecological streams, high-altitude suspension bridges, and glass walkways; the scenic area includes a visitor center, sightseeing driveways, walking trails, cableways, etc.; there are also rest areas, toilets, and beverage sales along the way
The whole journey through the Western Sichuan Bamboo Sea takes about 3 hours. Throughout the mountain, you are sheltered by bamboo and hardly exposed to the sun, except on the glass bridge at the mountain top.
Overall, the air is very good, and the temperature is not too hot. It's highly recommended to visit occasionally to relax and enjoy the natural scenery.
Note: Buying tickets one day in advance is a few yuan cheaper than buying on the same day. If you don't mind, you can also buy them when you arrive. There is a small train included in one of the tickets, but this train is not part of the Western Sichuan Bamboo Sea attractions; it's next to the entrance of the scenic area. A local uncle mentioned it just goes around here. It's nice to see the rapeseed flowers when they bloom, but there are no rapeseed flowers this season. The cableway inside the scenic area was under maintenance, so it was not experienced.
Some people think that the mineral water inside the scenic area is expensive and prefer to buy it outside. In fact, the price of mineral water inside the scenic area is the same as outside, three yuan. It's best to buy from the vending machines inside the scenic area. After passing the glass walkway and reaching the mountain top, there is a rest area without mineral water, but other items are quite expensive.
The paths are easy to walk, and there are places to wade in the water along the way. Some people even climb the mountain in slippers, with the main attraction being wading. It's advised not to carry too much when climbing, just some small snacks.
Pingle Ancient Town - a not-so-large ancient town with many homestays, chess and card rooms, and teahouses. It's not too commercialized and is suitable for a short stay.
Around five or six in the afternoon, when the sun is about to set, it's nice to wade in the river. There are quite a few people, and some swim in the river, but the water doesn't seem very clear. There's also an old man playing the electric piano on the bridge, creating a really good atmosphere and a strong sense of the local people's enthusiasm.
In the ancient town, normal accommodations, dining, and leisure are quite convenient. If you're looking for special local products, there isn't much variety.
Key point: The food is really not recommended. I tried a few places, but the taste was just average, so I don't suggest spending a lot of money on gourmet food. The famously special lamb and milk soup noodles were not impressive, just ordinary, so don't come just for the food.
There are also many fun activities nearby, including rafting, go-karting, mountain off-roading, and blueberry picking.
Good scenic spots are more fun and more cost-effective. The scenic area is not very sunny. The vegetation is lush and cool. The environment is beautiful and the air is clear. It is a bit hot and a bit sun-dried.
The college student special soldier suddenly wanted to go out and see nature, so he chose the bamboo sea in western Sichuan. It was very cheap to buy a student ticket for 30 yuan. I went in and took pictures for a long time. This place is really beautiful. There is a place that is still like a fairyland.
This is OK, super super place, a family to play. Not bad. Recommend, have the opportunity to come again. I bought dozens of pounds outside the scenic spot. Taking pictures on the glass plank road. Comfortable. .
The air is very fresh, the oxygen is sufficient, and the natural oxygen bar. It takes about two and a half hours to climb the whole process. Suitable for the whole family to move out. When you go down the mountain, you can take a small train in the forest. Similar to a roller coaster. Need to pay separately
The air is fresh, the photos inside are very sensational, there are too many people, every place can not stay too much, punch-in style, it is still very good, it is worth going again, it is very suitable for a leisurely day trip

The breeze blows through the bamboo leaves, making a faint rustling sound, like the sound of the sky. The wind in the bamboo forest dances the green bamboo leaves, like a delicate dance.
