Alsophila Valley - Explore Dinosaur Footprints

Alsophila Valley is located in Xiba Town, Wutongqiao District, named for the more than 50,000 Alsophila plants that grow in the valley. Alsophila, contemporaneous with dinosaurs, has a history of 200 million years and is a national first-class protected plant, known as the 'panda of the plant world'. Entering the Alsophila Valley, one can see tens of thousands of Alsophila plants forming layers of 'green umbrellas', casting a deep and enchanting shade over the valley. The air inside the valley is fresh, the climate is cool, the rock cliffs are rugged, and the stream water is gurgling, making it a refreshing and delightful place. The valley is full of negative oxygen ions. There are many mysterious natural and cultural phenomena in the valley that are very enchanting. Alsophila was one of the main foods of herbivorous dinosaurs, so there are also dinosaur 🦕 footprints! ⛰【Attraction Guide】 📍Detailed address: Alsophila Valley Scenic Area 🚗Transportation strategy: By car 🕙Opening hours: Monday to Friday 9:00-17:00 💰Ticket price: 10¥ per person 📌Little Tips: Children over 6 years old 🉑 can be brought along for a family hike, to exercise, experience nature, and stay away from electronic products. Alsophila Valley is 'Y'-shaped, with a total length of 6000 meters, a depth of 30-150 meters, and a width of 2-300 meters. Tickets can be purchased at both Gate 1 and Gate 2! Watch out for mosquitoes, bring your own simple meal, and there are also stalls selling fried potatoes in the valley. We entered through Gate 1 and exited through Gate 2. The exit at Gate 2 leads to a cement road, which is easier to walk on! However, before reaching Gate 2, passing through the 'Nine Turns' can still be a bit 'foot-weary' 😀
