You must visit Qingcheng Mountain at least once during the holiday
Not seeking for Taoism, but for tranquility|Detailed guide for a light hike in Qingcheng Mountain||'Bai Suzhen under Qingcheng Mountain, cultivating herself in the cave for a thousand years, ah~ah~'
When you come to Qingcheng Mountain, you will inevitably hum this lyric. The legend is beautiful, but I want to say, Qingcheng Mountain is more beautiful than the legend.
❤️My feelings
⛰️Clear: A day's happiness comes from greedily taking a breath of mountain air, as if the air is sweet.
⛰️Green: The mountain is full of green, no matter winter or summer, through the green pines, along the mountain road to the depth, for a light hike.
⛰️Secluded: People say Qingcheng Mountain is for seeking Taoism, but I am not seeking Taoism in this journey, but for tranquility, Qingcheng Mountain is the most secluded in the world.
💡Answer two questions
🔸Q: Which one to choose, the front mountain or the back mountain of Qingcheng Mountain?
🔹A: The front mountain has many historical relics and cultural remains, mainly humanistic landscapes; the back mountain has waterfalls and deep forests, mainly natural landscapes. So just for the scenery and photo shooting, I recommend going to the back mountain.
🔸Q: How long does it take to climb Qingcheng Mountain? Can I go to Dujiangyan on the same day?
🔹A: Absolutely possible, but you need to measure your strength. My experience is that it takes about 5 hours for the front mountain and about 7 hours for the back mountain, including hiking, short rest, and photo shooting. It's feasible to go to Dujiangyan after visiting the front mountain, or to go to Dujiangyan after walking half of the back mountain. Although there is enough time, you are usually tired after climbing Qingcheng Mountain, so you need to measure your strength.
【Transportation】
🚘Self-driving: Navigate to Qingcheng Mountain, which is located at Qingcheng Mountain Station (intercity train station), with a parking lot nearby.
🚄Train: You can take Metro Line 2/6 to Xipu Station in Chengdu city area, and then transfer to the intercity train to Qingcheng Mountain Station (buy the train ticket in advance, 10 yuan per person, about 30 minutes).
【To the scenic area】
➡️After arriving at Qingcheng Mountain Intercity Train Station, cross the road opposite, buy the electric car to the main entrance of the scenic area under the ancient style archway, 20 yuan for one way, 35 yuan for round trip, about 10 minutes. It's 2 kilometers to walk there, not close. After getting off the electric car, walk another 200 meters to the ticket office.
【Scenic area ticket】
🎟️80 yuan per person, half price for students, no need to buy the 5 yuan map brochure.
【Tour strategy】
After entering the gate, walk up for a while, at the red mark in Figure 18, there will be two roads, the left road to 'Natural Painting' (hiking up the mountain), the right road to 'Moon City Lake' (taking the cable car up the mountain).
☑️Physical exertion: Walk up the left road, walk down the right road, 4-5 hours
✅My suggestion: Walk up the left road, take the cable car down the right road, 4 hours
☑️Knee injury: Take the cable car up the right road, walk down the left road, 3.5-4 hours
I personally took the third route, and my knee was directly scrapped😭, and it hurt for several days.

Qingcheng's back mountain is very beautiful, very good, it is worth going all year round. The accommodation is also very clean and convenient, go again next time. After climbing the mountain bubble bath, the fatigue of the day is all over, Qingcheng has been in the city, and will come again.
Qingcheng back mountain is still worth hiking, there are many ladders along the way, it is a test of endurance, it takes a long time to go from the mountain to the top of the mountain, and it is worth it to climb up so hard in an instant.
Thank you for your invitation, I climbed the left half, and I went down before I reached the ropeway. People are gone. It is recommended that friends who can't go up the mountain on the ropeway will save effort, and the climbing pole must be bought if necessary. Because it is the off-season, many stalls that came up did not open the door, and bought a bottle of freshly squeezed juice. To be honest, it was not bad. The scenery is great, mainly because people who climb the mountain can't, such as me.
Transportation: It is recommended to drive by car or rent. It is quite far from the city, and it is still a mountain road, so it is more convenient to drive by yourself. Parking can be parked at the gate of the scenic spot. There are many solicitors on the roadside. You can go to their restaurant for free parking. Some will take you directly to the scenic spot to park, but you have to talk about the price, and I feel that the management is messy. Recommended reason: the environment is very good, green water and green mountains, there is a stream next to it, the vegetation on the mountain is lush, summer is very stuffy, there is no wind, but there are many supply points on the mountain, you can buy some must-haves and small snacks, but the price is not cheap, during the period, you can go to the town to eat, If you experience climbing, it is still very recommended ~
Compared with Qianshan, the back mountain is obviously a lot tired, and there is no sign in the scenic spot. When I meet the fork, I don't know how to go. Fortunately, the route of each road can finally meet. There are many mountain road ladders and different heights, which is a test for the knee, and the time to climb the top and the time to go down the mountain is longer, so comrades with poor physical strength are best to do their best. You should take the ropeway and take the ropeway. Don’t joke with your legs and feet. The palace of the great male after climbing the top is too simple. It’s almost like a big shed renovation. There is nothing to look at. Instead, I met a cat and a dog in the pavilion not far away. It seems that these two are a bit inconsistent, adding a comfort to the whole mountain climbing experience.
Suitable for those who like to climb the mountain, the mineral water on the mountain of the scenic spot is indeed more expensive than other scenic spots, a bottle of mineral water is 7 yuan, and the ordinary fragrance is 8 yuan.
