    There were hardly any queues during the off-season. Parking at parking lot number 6 is the most convenient, as it's within walking distance of the entrance, eliminating the need for a shuttle bus. The path leading out of the east gate is quite long, which isn't very convenient for the elderly.

    Mount Emei is the sacred site of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, and it's worth a visit. The high-speed rail journey from the station to Leidongping takes about 1 hour and 40 minutes. After getting off, it's about a 30-minute hike (there are monkeys along the way) to the cable car station. The cable car takes 3 minutes to ascend the mountain, followed by a 10-minute hike to the Golden Summit. A visit to the Golden Summit takes about 1 hour. The road from Leidongping to Wannian Temple is under construction until the end of the year, so the bus service and the Wannian Temple cable car are suspended. Currently, only the Leidongping-Huanglong Visitor Center-Wuxiangang bus service runs intermittently, but there may be at least a 30-minute wait when there are few passengers. The journey from Leidongping to Wuxiangang takes about 2 hours. Arriving at the Monkey Nature Reserve in the afternoon, I didn't see a single monkey.

    My trip during the National Day holiday was pretty good. The area was orderly, and the queues weren't too long, making it a great place for family trips with kids. Here's a little tip: the scenic area is basically a circular route. If you're interested in the rides, choose to walk counter-clockwise once you enter the area; the queues won't be too long.

    The trip to Wawu Mountain far exceeded my expectations! Booking the tickets and sightseeing bus package through Ctrip was very convenient. The tour guide was professional, and the itinerary was well-planned. The "Table Mountain" platform at the summit is vast and magnificent, with towering ancient trees and babbling brooks, like a green paradise. Lanxi Waterfall cascades down. The mountain mists shifted constantly, sometimes creating a fairyland atmosphere, sometimes revealing a clear blue sky; every step was a scenic view. The facilities were excellent, and the staff were welcoming. This trip completely relaxed my mind and body; it's an excellent choice for escaping the city and getting close to nature. Booking through Ctrip was smooth throughout, and the experience was fantastic. Highly recommended!

    Getting to Shunan Bamboo Sea is very convenient now; it's just a few minutes from the highway exit. The scenery inside the scenic area is beautiful, and you can even see pandas. I searched online and found the top-ranked hotel, which I heard is the best hotel in the scenic area: Shunan Cultural Tourism Resort Hotel. The hotel has very complete facilities, a swimming pool, beautiful scenery, and excellent service. I'll definitely come back next time I have the chance!

    We went with one adult and one child. I was a college student and it cost 68 yuan, while my mother cost 260 yuan. Overall, it was a bit expensive and we didn't think it was worth the price. The jellyfish exhibit, which we were most looking forward to, was not open when we went, which was a huge disappointment.

    There's a decent VR experience. The lines are relatively short. Book in advance to minimize wait times. You can also explore the area around the pier, where you can interact with NPCs and even sing.

    The Wuhou Temple is definitely worth visiting. I went there with a sense of reverence because I love reading "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and admire Zhuge Liang. I saw the two memorials to the emperor, many rubbings, and statues of Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, and many other heroes of Shu Han. The environment inside is also quite nice, and many tourists were taking photos.

    This is a free old street in the style of western Sichuan, located in the center of Chengdu, adjacent to the famous Wuhou Temple. It is easily accessible, with a large area, distinctive features, numerous shops, and a bustling atmosphere.

    I booked my tickets online almost a month in advance, but I couldn't choose my seats. I arrived at 7 pm that evening, picked up my tickets, and my seats were numbers 14, 16, and 18 in a row, slightly to the right of the middle. It felt like most of the good seats were taken by tour groups. The performance was excellent and worth seeing. We arrived early and had some covered-bowl tea on the first floor.
