Leshan Alsophila Valley, a magical canyon that will make you linger

🌟 **Explore the lost gems of the dinosaur era** Near Chengdu, there is a hiking destination that I have been fascinated by and visited many times - Leshan Alsophila Valley. Choose a cool day, drive there with friends, and start a hiking trip through time and space. 🌿 **A fantasy world in the Alsophila tree forest** Alsophila spinulosa, the "king of ferns" in the dinosaur era, grows wildly in the canyon, forming a green ocean that covers the sky. While hiking, you feel like you are under a huge natural green umbrella, very cool. In the dense Alsophila tree forest, people always have the illusion that dinosaurs may roam in the depths, which adds a bit of fun to the adventure. 📍 **Location and Transportation** - **Location**: Alsophila spinulosa Grand Canyon, Shawan, Leshan, Sichuan - **Ticket**: 10 yuan (cleaning fee) - **Transportation**: It takes 2 hours to drive from Chengdu. It is recommended to park your car in the innermost parking lot to avoid unnecessary detours. The parking fee is 10 yuan with no time limit. 📸 **Guidelines for Playing and Taking Photos** 1. **Route recommendation**: It is recommended to enter from Gate 1 and exit from Gate 2. The whole journey takes about 4 hours. If you just want to take photos and check in, you can go through Gate 1. All the good places to take photos are concentrated here. 2. **Photography tips**: Use the tens of thousands of Alsophila spinulosa trees that were contemporary with the dinosaurs in the canyon as the foreground to easily create a blockbuster-like feel. 3. **Highlights**: After entering from Gate 1, walk down for about 15 minutes to see the waterfall in the depths. Continuing forward, there are moss-covered rocks and tree alsos, which are perfect backgrounds for taking photos. ⚠️ **Warm Tips** - There are many mosquitoes, so it is recommended to wear long clothes and long pants or bring mosquito repellent. - It is recommended to bring plenty of water and snacks to replenish energy at any time and enjoy a pleasant hiking trip. Come to Leshan Alsophila Valley and experience this fantastic hiking trip! 💚🌳🦕
