If you want to relax, climbing a mountain might be a good choice. I went there in early June when it was raining, but the misty rain made the whole mountain look even more beautiful. The process was also interesting. The back mountain of Qingcheng gave me a feeling of tranquility. At a glance, it was all green, very friendly to my eyes, and I was crazily inhaling oxygen. There are many streams and small waterfalls running through the mountains. Sitting on the Baiyun Cableway and looking at the misty Qingcheng Mountain was like entering a fairyland.

🌟April brings not only sunshine, breezes, and dew, but also the blooming of Davidia involucrata trees~ 🍀As a tree species unique to China, Davidia involucrata is known as the 'green panda' and 'living fossil of plants', and is a precious plant among China's first-class protected endangered species. It is also the mascot for the 2024 Chengdu World Horticultural Exposition. 🌲Every year at the end of spring and beginning of summer, the Davidia involucrata trees bloom fragrantly, with clusters of white flowers dancing in the wind on the branches, resembling doves in flight, hence it is also called 'dove tree', symbolizing 'peace and friendship'❗️ 🍃Like the giant panda, the Davidia involucrata flower is a treasure bestowed upon Dujiangyan by nature. Currently, the Davidia involucrata flowers in Dujiangyan are blooming beautifully, so come and witness their charm! 🍃The flowers of Davidia involucrata are pure white and elegant. When they bloom, the flowers do not have petals, but are wrapped in two bracts of different sizes, enclosing a dark purple spherical pistil. 🌿In the most beautiful April when flowers bloom like brocade, if you have the chance, you can go to places like Dujiangyan Yijie District, Nanqiao Square, Longxi Hongkou National Nature Reserve, Qianhou Mountain of Qingcheng, and Jiangnan Yi Manor to witness the blooming of Davidia involucrata trees!

If you are in Chengdu, you must take a trip to Qingcheng Mountain. Go into the mountains to breathe in oxygen and cleanse your eyes, the whole journey is through the woods and streams. As someone who has been to both the front and back mountains many times, I have summarized the following super complete guide to Qingcheng back mountain to avoid taking the wrong path! 🚇 Transportation Guide - Subway: Take the subway to Xipu Station, then transfer to the intercity train to "Qingcheng Mountain" station, very convenient, about 30 minutes. - Self-driving: Navigate to (Qingcheng Mountain Back Mountain Scenic Area) There are many parking lots, you can choose to stop at the entrance, if you park in the ancient town it will be easy to get stuck in traffic, and it's not easy to get out on the return trip! 🚶‍♂️ Route Suggestions - Small loop: Taian Ancient Town → Wulong Gully → Youyi Village → Cuiying Lake → Taian Ancient Town (suitable for friends with average physical strength). - Medium loop: Taian Ancient Town → Feiquan Gully → Baiyun Ancient Village → Baiyun Cableway (cable car down the mountain) → Wulong Gully → Taian Ancient Town. - Large loop: Taian Temple → Wulong Gully → Youyi Village → Baiyun Cableway → Cuiying Lake → Feiquan Gully → Taian Temple (suitable for friends with good physical strength). 🏞️ Scenic Spot Recommendations - Wulong Gully: The most beautiful part of Qingcheng Mountain, with many waterfalls, streams, and bridges, bamboo rafting is also a lot of fun, and Cuiying Lake is very beautiful. 🎒 Tips - Don't carry too much stuff, make sure to have a walking stick. - Climbing up from the left side will leave you with more energy for taking photos, because the left side is more photogenic. - There are almost no restrooms along the way, so don't drink too much water. - Be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes. - Don't wear crop tops, otherwise, your stomach can easily catch a cold. - Be sure to pay attention to the time to descend the mountain, because going down actually takes more time than going up.

After years of sedimentation, the back of Qingcheng Mountain still maintains its original appearance and natural landscape. There is no excessive commercial development or artificial carving here, everything is so natural and simple. It allows you to fully enjoy the beauty and tranquility of nature. At the back of Qingcheng Mountain, you can slow down and walk along the winding mountain roads, experiencing the wonders of nature. There is no noise of traffic here, only the chirping of birds and the fragrance of flowers, the babbling of streams, which brings peace and relaxation to your soul.

For the first hike of 2024, I completed the Qingcheng Back Mountain Circuit (22km) in 7 hours~ Give myself a thumbs up for completing the hike even when injured🌻 As the saying goes: foreigners play in Qingcheng Front Mountain, locals play in Qingcheng Back Mountain~ Haha because true hiking enthusiasts find the Front Mountain too simple, without challenge~ The Back Mountain is not as commercialized as the Front Mountain, it hasn't been developed much, and is basically in its original state~ Haha I really have a sunny disposition, the sky clears up when I go to Qingcheng Mountain, with warm winter sun, finally escaping Chengdu's smoggy weather, and able to breathe some fresh air! This is my second time climbing Qingcheng Back Mountain, both times were the big circuit, the first time took about 6 hours, this time took 7 hours (due to foot injury) a total of 22km ⭐Hiking Route Taian Ancient Town→Wulong Gorge→Another Village→Reclining Buddha Cave→Baiyun Group Cave→Ten Thousand Buddha Cave→Baiyun Temple→South Heaven Gate→Cuiying Lake→Taian Ancient Town The above is the non-cable car version, pure hiking takes no less than 5 hours (excluding rest and play time) ⭐Cable Car ①After climbing up Wulong Gorge to Another Village, you can take the Baiyun cable car up ②You can take the Jinli cable car down from Cuiying Lake (Those with good physical strength are not recommended to take the cable car, hope everyone walks the big circuit once, it will be very fulfilling) ⭐Ticket Qingcheng Back Mountain ticket💰20 ⭐Transportation ①🚗Self-driving: Navigate to Taian Ancient Town (this is for the big circuit hike, if you don't want to hike the big circuit you can also navigate to Another Village) ②🚅High-speed rail: Xipu-Qingcheng Mountain (💰10, 30 minutes) After getting off the high-speed rail, you can take the bus or directly take a taxi (we paid 50 yuan including the ticket to the entrance of the big circuit) ✨It is recommended to buy round-trip high-speed rail tickets in advance, otherwise it is difficult to buy return high-speed rail tickets ⭐Baiyun Temple Baiyun Temple is at the top of the mountain, it is currently under renovation, this is my second time here, if you are a believer in Buddhism, I personally recommend you to pay a visit, it is quite effective~ You must be sincere! Sincerity brings miracles💙 ⭐Mindset: You must hike at your own pace, regularly~ You also need to have a firm belief, you will definitely reach the top, because Qingcheng Back Mountain is quite challenging for those who do not have hiking experience (you can bring a hiking stick or buy a bamboo hiking stick at the foot of the mountain💰3) The downhill path is not very easy to walk, the road is steep and bad ⭐The happiest thing about this hike is that everyone was cheering each other on along the way! Even strangers passing by would say a word of encouragement, you're almost at the top! And I made three friends! Haha maybe this is the meaning of hiking~ Meeting a better version of yourself on the way, breaking through yourself time and time again~ Meeting like-minded people~ It's still the same saying, you meet who you are~ Our natural encounter, this is fate🍃 Qingcheng Back Mountain

Today, I want to take everyone into the beautiful rear mountain of Qingcheng, to explore the treasures of nature together.🌲🌳 Firstly, departing from Xipu in Chengdu, the journey to Qingcheng Mountain is not complicated, but there is one thing to note. Once you arrive at Qingcheng Mountain station, you have to choose how to get to the rear mountain scenic area. We chose a method that cost 40 yuan, but in fact, you only need to spend 20 yuan. There's no need to take the shuttle bus for 20 yuan; it's only a one or two-kilometer walk, which is easy and saves money.🚶‍♂️💰 Next, there are cars from Baiyun Mountain Top that go directly to Qingcheng Mountain station, costing 70 yuan per person. This price seems a bit high, but interestingly, they say that if you choose to take the cable car down the mountain, it costs 75 yuan, but they only charge 70 yuan. This is somewhat confusing; do you have to take both cable cars?😅🤔 Finally, the cable car near Wanfo Cave charges 45 yuan per person for the descent. The information we found before we went was 30 yuan, and we don't know why the price increased. Since there were five of us, we unanimously decided to walk down the mountain and then go for a big meal of skewers, which was more cost-effective.🍢👣 Overall, the trip to the rear mountain of Qingcheng is full of surprises and challenges. As long as you prepare well and avoid some unnecessary expenses, you can enjoy an unforgettable hiking trip. I hope my sharing can help everyone, and I wish you all a pleasant travel experience in the rear mountain of Qingcheng!🎉🏞️

📃Written in front I really like the back mountain of Qingcheng. The combination of house and green moss and white snow really has the taste of searching for ancient times in the deep mountains, and the bridges in the mountains have a kind of Jiangnan feeling. I observed the moss and trees I liked. I saw several single-petal white camellia trees, white petals and golden stamens, and the same color scheme as daffodils. I like tree branches carrying snow, like two strokes of traditional Chinese painting. I met the black-throated red-tailed robin and the spotted swallowtail. I saw beautiful green jelly water. I climbed the heart-suspension canyon road. Walking under the tall cypress trees is like entering a forest. After putting on new ice claws on the ice and snow road section, you must step on the ice, and you are as happy as you must step on the water when wearing rain boots. I didn't go to Cuiying Lake to take a boat today, I will go next time! The round trip on the same day cost a total of more than one hundred yuan, and the sense of happiness is super strong. Transportation: 🚄Xipu Station—Qingcheng Mountain Station, round trip 20 yuan. 🚌After exiting the station, follow the sign to the third platform and take the bus to the back mountain ticket office (walk about 100 meters after getting off), round trip 30 yuan. ⛰️Admission ticket, 20 yuan 🚠Jinli cable car, one way 30 yuan. The Baiyun cable car to the top of the mountain is currently closed. Important reminder‼️ There is ice in the mountain, bringing ice claws is the most correct choice! Walk with peace of mind, the road is under your feet and your heart is in your stomach!
