In Chengdu, the most beautiful peach blossoms are here

Longquan Mountain Hiking Gathering 1. Longquanyi crossing Shijing Temple (South Line), about 13 kilometers, will pass by attractions such as Waiting for the Wind, with relatively easy paths, making it the best route for beginners. 2. Longquanyi crossing Shijing Temple (North Line), about 15 kilometers, will pass through Peach Blossom Hometown and Shanquan Town, hence it's more crowded, with roads and plank walks making up most of the route, not as comfortable as the South Line. 3. Longquanyi Shijing Temple loop, about 28 kilometers, is actually connecting the South and North Lines, relatively longer, and not suitable for beginners. 4. Longquanyi crossing Luodai Ancient Town, about 23 kilometers, also known as the Seven Lakes route, will pass by 7 rural reservoirs, with average scenery, lots of graves, it's better not to go alone, as walking through the woods surrounded by graves can be quite eerie. 5. Longquan Mountain Love Line, about 40 kilometers, if you use sports apps like Codoon to record the path, you will see that it forms a heart shape at the end, hence the name, very challenging, beginners be cautious. 6. Longquanyi crossing Jianyang, about 26 kilometers, is a route planned by winter enthusiasts to go to Jianyang for mutton soup, with many abandoned fruit trees along the way where you can pick fruits. - Now is the peak bloom of peach blossoms, and you can see peach blossoms on any route. Especially at attractions like 'Peach Blossom Hometown', where it's very crowded with people and cars, understandably so. - If we disregard the crowds, where are the most beautiful peach blossoms? I think it's 'Longquan Mountain Tianchi', which is actually a reservoir, with peach trees planted along the bank, reflecting the peach blossoms on the water surface, and on a clear day, reflecting the blue sky. Plus, this area has dense peach trees, making it great for photography. Just navigate to 'Zuiyuan Mountain Villa', and you can almost get there without walking. - Also, one thing to note, Longquan Mountain has few tall trees, so even the spring sun can easily cause sunburn. We got sunburned last week when we went to Longquanyi to cross Shijing Temple, with very red and burning skin, so everyone must pay attention to sun protection. Besides peach blossoms, the pear and plum blossoms on Longquan Mountain are also blooming now, and they are very beautiful!
