Two hours around Chengdu|Child-friendly! Cross the stream to see the ice waterfall|||

|||. During the three-day New Year's holiday, it feels like there are a lot of people everywhere in the city, so I decided to drive to a not so far place to breathe some fresh air. (Everyone has seen how bad the air in Chengdu has been recently). On the first day of the Saturday holiday, I set off from the south gate, and after only two hours and ten minutes, I arrived at this place where the sky is so blue it seems fake, and the water is so clear it seems filtered. Although it is already winter, the trees are all bare and not as lush as in summer, but the light and shadow of the sun shining into the forest become more beautiful, and the stream becomes clearer, and it is so comfortable to hike! This place is called Wolongguan Gully, recommended to everyone! 1⃣️Navigation: Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Wenchuan Xiangyun Farmhouse This is just a rough location of the starting point of the hike, there are many restaurants and farmhouses along this road, just park wherever there is a parking space. The whole journey from Chengdu is on the highway + national road, currently no need for anti-skid chains, but there may be slightly icy sections on the Panda Avenue, just drive carefully. 2⃣️Cost: If you park your car without any accidents, the restaurant or farmhouse owner will come out to collect a parking fee of 10 yuan/car and a sanitation fee of 20 yuan/person. I don't know if this fee is reasonable, but they generally don't charge for children, and I really didn't see any garbage along the way, it's very clean. I also call on everyone to take their garbage with them, whether or not there is a "sanitation fee", and don't leave your traces. 3⃣️Route features: From the side of the road where the car is parked to the mountains, we are generally moving along the stream, the road is not easy to get wrong, even if you deviate slightly from the route, you will soon find that you can't go on, you need to adjust the direction again, it's basically impossible to get lost. From the beginning of the fields, to the scenery of the pine and cypress forest, then to the stream and the wilderness, the small bridge and flowing water, finally you will encounter two ice waterfalls, not far apart, you will not feel bored all the way, there are many changes in the scenery. And the whole route is very easy to walk except for the last bit of slope, you need to climb a small wooden ladder, the rest of the time is very easy to walk. The altitude is not high, only 2000+, it is not easy to have altitude sickness, children with some outdoor experience, normal walking is completely no problem (but still be careful not to get too close to the stream, to avoid falling into the water) 4⃣️Distance: The round-trip hike is about 4-5 kilometers, and it takes about three hours to walk slowly Such a route with few people, beautiful scenery, easy to walk, close to Chengdu, and can see ice, I really think it is a treasure!
