Chengdu 1H | Offbeat and Light Hiking 🌿 Super Cool and Easy on the Legs ‼️

Today I recommend a cool oxygen-absorbing route🌳 with a high vegetation coverage and full shade of trees💦. It's only a 1-hour🚘 drive from Chengdu, with few people and easy parking. You can drink tea🧋, have a picnic, and walk your children and dogs?? It's very suitable for friends who want to embrace the mountains and nature, but don't want to go too far or get too tired, and just want to relax. ✅✅Reasons for recommendation: 1⃣️Towering ancient trees, super cool. The entire hiking route is almost covered by the 🍃trees, with lush greenery and negative ions filling the mountains, making people feel relaxed and comfortable both physically and mentally. 2⃣️A thousand-year-old ancient temple, the tree king of Tianfu, is hidden in a dense forest on a stone staircase. The ancient temple, Daming Temple🛕, was built in the Sui Dynasty. On both sides of the Zen courtyard are two 1500-year-old ancient cypresses, which have been rated as one of the "Top Ten Tree Kings of Tianfu". It is said that Lu You once visited here and left the eternal masterpiece "The lonely tower rises into the sky, and the twin cypresses withstand the summer cold". 4️⃣️Enjoy the secluded mountains and forests even on holidays like May Day, with only a few people drinking tea and chatting in temples. There are no noisy crowds or traffic, only birds 🦜 and cicadas singing happily in the woods. 5️⃣️Rich routes, leisurely and comfortable. The entire route takes about 2 hours round trip; it passes through cement roads, stone paths, and forest trails; there are also bamboo forests, pine forests, and Chinese fir trees along the way, providing a rich experience; there are free parking lots at the foot of the mountain and in the temple; there are pavilions and stone benches along the way, perfect for picnics and tea. ⛳️Address: Huacheng Mountain, Chongzhou 🎫No admission fee, no parking fee. 🚘Driving: Navigate to Chongzhou Daming Temple, about 1 hour drive. 🚌Public transportation: Take the high-speed train to Chongzhou Station in Chengdu, transfer to bus 306 to Huaiyuan Ancient Town; take a taxi to Daming Temple for about 12 yuan. 🌿The most beautiful part of the entire route is the section leading to the Daming Temple. Those who don't want to walk can have tea and chat inside the temple; those who want to hike can go up the mountain from behind the Daming Temple, following the red trail markers all the way to the top. There is no stunning scenery at the top of the mountain, just pure and cool leisurely hiking. ♨️Nearby attractions: Huaiyuan Ancient Town, Yanhuachi, and Yuantong Ancient Town are all close by and can be linked together for play. ‼️TIPS: Pure wilderness, commercial. Please bring your own food and water. 🎈There are more mosquitoes, it is recommended to wear long pants, mountain shoes, and bring mosquito repellent. 🎈Take care of the environment, please bring your own garbage bag and take the garbage away.
