2025 Lushan Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

#springwander I have got some exciting news! The most amazing rapeseed festival near Chengdu is right in Lushan's Qingyi Yungu. It's a sight to behold, a vast expanse of golden rapeseed flowers stretching as far as the eye can see. There are several must - visit spots that you simply can't miss. First is the Flower Art Teahouse. Picture the unique experience of sitting amidst the sea of bright yellow flowers, sipping a warm cup of tea from a covered bowl. The view from the second - floor terrace is truly spectacular, offering a panoramic view of the entire flower - filled landscape. Then, there's the irresistibly cute Panda Inflatable Model. Its charming black - and - white appearance makes it a favorite among visitors, always attracting attention and becoming a focal point in any photo. The Giant hot air balloon provides an opportunity to create pictures straight out of a comic book. Wearing light - colored clothes here will make your photos even more stunning. And don't forget to explore the Wanwu Market. Here, you can discover a variety of interesting items, from intangible cultural heritage bamboo weaving to the pungent Hanyuan pepper and freshly boiled honey. Mark your calendars for the 15th and 16th because there will be field concerts from 14:00 to 17:00. Imagine listening to live music while surrounded by the beauty of the rapeseed flowers. I highly recommend bringing a picnic mat to fully enjoy the laid - back atmosphere. But that's not all! There's a hidden gem of an activity here: camping barbecue. You can have a self - service barbecue right in the flower field. Spend your time relaxing, sipping tea, and taking leisurely walks around the flowers. It's the perfect way to embrace the beauty of spring and create unforgettable memories. #trip #localguides #historicallandmarks #familytrip

I went to Ya'an during the Lunar New Year and took a lesser-known route. It wasn't crowded at all and the experience was great. I arrived on the first day in the evening and stayed at the YJUC Hotel in the new district by the Qingyi River. The family room had panda dolls and a small tent, which my child loved. In the morning, I took a walk along the river from the hotel. On the other side of the river is the landmark building, the Yayu Tower. In winter, Ya'an welcomes seagulls and mergansers. There were many tourists feeding the seagulls and buying food for them. Walking upstream, I saw the statue of Nuwa Patching the Sky and the 30th Parallel Park, which has many panda statues that my child loved. There are many restaurants near the statue of Nuwa Patching the Sky. You must try the Yayu in a clay pot. The soup is especially delicious. There is a sword in the skull of the Yayu, and the owner will give you a delicate box to put it in. In the afternoon, I went to Jiaguan Ancient Town, which is more than half an hour away by car. "A small bridge and flowing water, an ancient road, a thin horse, the setting sun, and a heartbroken man at the end of the world" are all embodied in Jiaguan Ancient Town. In the evening, I went to see the night view of the Daxiaolang Bridge. Then I went to Qijiao Yufu near the bridge. The fish was delicious, and it was worth waiting in line for more than an hour. I stayed at the Xingyue Hotel, a four-star hotel located halfway up Zhangjia Mountain. During the Lunar New Year, when other hotels doubled their prices, this hotel didn't raise its prices, which was really touching. The hotel breakfast was rich, and they thoughtfully prepared panda plates, panda spoons, panda bowls, and panda cups for the children. It was so cute, and my child loved it. In the morning, I climbed the Xishu Ladder, which has about 1,000 steps. At the top is the Jinfeng Temple, where you can overlook the city of Ya'an. At noon, I had Yinjiang Chicken, which was okay, and bought a jar of meat when I left. In the afternoon, I visited Tianxian Pass, which is narrow, with high mountains and fast-flowing water, and is quite spectacular. In Tianxian Pass Ancient Town, there is a suspension bridge and the ruins of the ancient Tea Horse Road. Next to the ancient town is National Highway 318, which you can visit. The Lion Mountain Observation Deck overlooks the entire scenic area, and you can also see the Sichuan-Tibet Railway under construction. Lesser-known travel routes in Ya'an

Seek the Tea Horse Road in Feixian Pass. Niankan Village is a small village on the Tea Horse Road in Ya'an. Walk along the newly paved bluestone road into the old street of Feixian Pass, and you will see the newly built scenic spots such as Feixian Strange Stone, Tea Horse Market, Arena Waterfall, and Hanging Pot Hot Pot. The tea rooms and tea restaurants around the Porter Culture Experience Area have already opened, and tourists are shuttling back and forth, exploring the thousand-year-old Tea Horse Road and experiencing the "younger" old street with a new look. Navigation: Laojun Xianquan, Tea Horse Road, Feixian Pass Scenic Area

Houses in Feixianguan Town, Lushan County, Ya'an City, Sichuan Province, rebuilt after the earthquake, are very distinctive. The houses in Nanchang Town are mainly in the style of ancient western Sichuan dwellings, with unique shapes. The landmark building "Feixian Pavilion" is in the Han style. Beichang Town is mainly in the style of the ancient Qiang people of Qingyi, with Qiang-style watchtowers and Zhaimen gates in the style of ancient Qiang water villages. In addition, the houses in Fenghuang New Village and other settlements are like "villas", with unique appearances and well-equipped public infrastructure around them, which complement the natural environment and form a unique rural landscape. It is worth mentioning that the drinking water of the residents here is all mountain spring water, and many tourists who come here will take some sweet and clean mountain spring water with them when they leave.

1️⃣Leaving Feixianguan and heading north, following the footsteps of the Red Army, it takes less than 20 kilometers to reach Lushan County. This is a fertile plain of about 1000 square kilometers in the Hengduan Mountains, where the continuous high mountains on the west side trap the moisture from the easterly winds, bringing rain in clear skies, creating a lush and verdant landscape. 2️⃣Lushan County is located on the southwestern frontier of Shu Prefecture, not very famous, yet it is the last territory of the ancient Shu kingdom and the place with the most Han dynasty relics in the country. During the Spring and Autumn period, a branch of the Qiang people of the ancient Shu kingdom, the Qingyi Qiang, migrated to Lushan and Baoxing, forming the Qingyi Qiang kingdom, with the river that runs through the plain named Qingyi River. In 316 BC, during the Warring States period of Central China, the ancient Shu kingdom was in turmoil, and King Huiwen of Qin took the opportunity to enter Sichuan, establishing Shu and Ba prefectures. A few years later, Qingyi County was established, laying the foundation for the later unification of China. During the Later Han and Three Kingdoms period, this was the fief of Jiang Wei, the Grand General of Shu Han, who built Jiangcheng. The Han Jiang story has been passed down for a thousand years to this day, and the ancient city of Hanjiang, through trials and tribulations, is still preserved in the old town area of Lushan County. 3️⃣Strolling through the ancient city, the 'Han Jianghou Ci Archway' built during the Ming Jiajing period is mottled with colorful paintings, and the breath of history hits you in the face. On the right, the Jinhua Opera Stage was built during the Qing Daoguang years, and on the left, the Pingxiang Tower was built during the Northern Song Dynasty. Behind the Pingxiang Tower, the Jiang Gong Temple was built during the Ming Jiajing period, and a section of the Han dynasty city wall is still preserved to this day. This is the only ancient city in the country that solely commemorates Jiang Wei, and every year during the Rapeseed Flower Festival, the people of Lushan use 'flower lanterns' to worship the loyal souls. 4️⃣The sky gently sprinkles light rain again, and fragments of history flicker uncertainly in the changing light. The lament of Shu Han echoes through the ages, and the Qingyi rain nourishes the young Qi. I am the subtle fragrance lingering in the sleeves, sharing with you stories amidst the scenery.

By the seventh generation, they had become a big family. One day, a beggar begged for alms, and not long after Old Weng gave alms, a baby boy was born in the family. Little Weng was smart since he was a child, and everyone said that he was the 'Grass Bandit Emperor', but unexpectedly, the matter of the 'Grass Bandit Emperor' was known by the imperial envoy who was privately mining copper mines by Cha Nian Gao Yao. The Weng family was instructed by the immortal in their dreams to change their surname to Yong, and they moved to Baiguoping overnight. In addition, the people of the 'Meng' and 'Gao' surnames also moved separately, avoiding the fate of being exterminated by the court. Later, the Yong family regarded the three trees as their lifeline, believing that the three trees symbolized the Yong, Meng, and Gao families' endless life and prosperous business.
