Life-saving hike for smoggy days in Chengdu! 6 kilometers on Puhong Road, nailed it!

Who understands! After breathing smog in Chengdu for a week, the moment I stepped into the forest on Puhong Road, my lungs were instantly "cleansed"! 8️⃣ kilometers with a cement path route: Navigation 🧭: Puhong Road Fujiwara Tofu Shop, limited parking, first come first served. Recommended to walk clockwise, making the steepest one-kilometer section the uphill part. My route is 6️⃣ kilometers. After reaching Fujiwara Tofu Shop, keep going forward. I navigated to Dujiangyan Shanyoutianxi Homestay 🏨. Near arrival, park on the left side in an open space 🅿️, no parking fee. Picture 17 shows my route. Walk to Fujiwara Tofu Shop, the kid enjoyed the view here, hardworking dad walked the cement road to drive 🚗 and pick us up down the mountain (luckily that day, two dads randomly caught a ride with a carpool to drive). ✅ Escape the smog: The mountain air is amazing! Packed with negative oxygen ions, so fresh you can't help but take deep breaths. Wild kiwifruit and yellow per (local term "huang guozi") are along the way, bring the kids to look carefully. Tips: ✔️ Wear non-slip sports shoes (a bit slippery under fallen leaves) ✔️ Bring a small bag to collect wild kiwifruit, you can pick some along the way ✔️ Walk clockwise! More downhill, saves energy ✔️ Take your trash with you, keep the mountain wild clean Don’t stay home on smoggy days, bring the kids here to breathe deeply, even hiking becomes a "forest adventure game"~

Dujiangyan Scenic Area

Dujiangyan is the perfect escape for culture lovers and nature addicts alike 🌲🏯. My favorite part? The South Bridge at night — think shimmering river views, glowing ancient buildings, and a vibe that’s both serene and truly magical. Top Spots to Visit: 1. Guanxian Ancient City Tourist Scenic Area Visitor Center Address: No.16 Chenjia Lane, Dujiangyan City, Chengdu Open: 09:00–17:00 Start here for orientation, info, and maps. The architecture sets the mood for old-world adventures, and staff here can help you plan your walking route. 2. Dujiangyan Scenic Area Address: Park Road, Dujiangyan City Open: Mar 2–Oct 31 08:00–18:00; Nov 1–Dec 1 08:00–17:30; Dec 2–Dec 5 Closed; Dec 6–Mar 1 08:00–17:30 Admission: ¥80 This UNESCO site is massive and gorgeous, so wear comfy shoes! Expect ancient canals, riverside walkways, and lush trees (hello ginkgo!). If the weather’s cloudy and rainy (like my visit), it just adds dramatic mist for Insta-worthy photos. 3. Dujiangyan Irrigation System Address: Baoping Lane, Dujiangyan Scenic Area Open: 08:30–17:00 See 2,000-year-old engineering genius up close. Tip: Visit before sunset as lighting gets lush for photos, and crowds thin out. Travel Hacks: - Getting there: Take a direct train from Chengdu (~40 min) then local taxi or bus to the entrance. - Food: Try the local snacks sold near Guanxian Ancient City! Don’t miss Sichuan-style noodles at small family stalls for spicy warmth on rainy days. - The area’s best at night — walk the South Bridge, especially if you love night photography or peaceful vibes. - Bring a raincoat or umbrella for sudden showers; most paths are fine but stone bridges can get slick. #Dujiangyan #SichuanTravel #ChinaHistory #NightPhotography #tripdotcom #chinatrip #china_diaries

Panda Valley

🐼 Panda Paradise Awaits at Dujiangyan's Panda Valley! If you’re craving a close-up with China’s most adorable icons, Panda Valley in Dujiangyan is the ultimate day-trip pick. Stroll past lush scenery, historic ruins, and sun-dappled bamboo, watching giant pandas nap, munch on bamboo, and play in spacious natural enclosures. 🗺️ Recommended Route: Start early to catch pandas at their most active (they tend to nap midday!). Follow the main walking loop—many flower-dappled spots make the perfect panda backdrop. Stop by the outdoor sections, which offer open views, and head to quieter corners for the best close-up experience and minimal crowds. 📸 Insta-Worthy Angles: Snap a classic shot of pandas lounging under shady trees, with drifts of wildflowers for extra color. Try the historic ruins as a backdrop for a blend of nature and history. If you find a playful panda, get a close-up as they snack—more adorable than any stuffed toy! Sunny days are especially good for crisp, bright photos. ✨ Must-Do Experiences: - Watch panda caretakers feed and interact with pandas mid-morning - Visit the educational center to learn about conservation efforts - Wander the flower gardens for tranquil views and bonus photo ops 💡 Practical Visiting Tips: Arrive before 9 AM for easy admission and peaceful paths. The admission fee is 39 RMB, and be sure to check seasonal opening hours: May–Oct 7:30–18:00; Nov–Apr 8:00–17:30. Last entry is an hour before closing. Expect to walk a lot—comfy shoes are a must. Snacks and water are handy as there's limited on-site dining. ⚠️ Precautions: Respect quiet zones for the pandas and fellow visitors. Sunscreen and a hat are vital on sunny days, and be mindful of uneven paths near the ruins. #Dujiangyan #PandaValley #Wildlife #NatureTrip #Chengdu#chinatrip #panda
