On a rare sunny day, you must go out. I made an appointment with a friend's family and went to the viewing platform that we had discussed for a long time, all by public transportation.
Let's talk about the good things first
The scenic spot is actually quite good, we walked down from the top of the mountain. There are many beautiful check-in points, and they are even more beautiful with some red and yellow leaves. The entire trail is also quite comfortable to walk on. If you climb up from the bottom of the mountain, the trail is not always stairs, there are sections of flat roads where you can rest.
You don't have to worry about food at all, whether you are going up from the bottom of the mountain or down from the top of the mountain, there are many local people selling food. For example, on the mountain, we passed by the Forest Market, which is a whole street of snacks.
Then, I have to complain about the terrible transportation
The entire journey by bus, we followed Gaode to exit from Xinglong C1 of Line 18, there is a 'Tianfu New District High-altitude Trestle Metro Special Line' (only open on weekends) '1 hour 1 trip' it's all about luck. This special line does not go to the entrance of the trestle, there are two places to get off, one is 'Tiandeng Village Village Committee' it's 3.7 kilometers to the entrance from here!!!!!! The other is the terminal, then transfer to the 'Danjing Mountain Tourism Special Line' rural bus. We waited for a long time, and there were so many people!! I haven't squeezed such a high bus in more than 10 years, and there are tour groups squeezing the bus.
Let me share what I saw about self-driving, the entire scenic area has no parking lot, or it is not mature at all, private cars have to drive in from a very narrow road, parked at the local people, maybe temporarily vacated parking, or go early to mix up the mountain, parked at the door of the local residents or roadside wasteland. After we walked from the top of the mountain to the bottom, we wanted to take a taxi, but private cars couldn't get in at all, they were all stuck on the road, and then the tourist special line, we couldn't squeeze on it at all, we could only walk, walk to the road, and take a taxi.
In summary, if you encounter weekends and holidays, maybe, taking a taxi is the best choice.

Checking in at the outskirts of Chengdu
Danjing Mountain Lion Treasure Scenic Area.
The viewing platform at Danjing Mountain Lion Treasure in Tianfu New District is a popular internet-famous spot for checking in, with its panoramic high-altitude glass walkway being the biggest highlight. The walkway is relatively close to the downtown area of Chengdu, and its fully transparent design, combined with a height difference of 207 meters, allows for a 360-degree unobstructed view of the cityscape from the best viewing spot at the watchtower. The walkway is predominantly white, with splashes of purple and orange, creating a colorful spectacle that pairs beautifully with the blue sky, making it very photogenic.
🚘If you choose to drive there, you can navigate to Longquan Mountain Urban Forest Park Hejiang Scenic Area, where the parking fee is 10 yuan per vehicle. For those who prefer not to drive, public transportation is available with a direct bus line to the mountain top viewing platform, costing only 30 yuan.
⚠️Kind reminder: Visitors going to check in, please abide by the local regulations and requirements, and pay attention to safety.

Chengdu Surroundings | Found the Cloud Walkway, it's so romantic
Found the Cloud Walkway, it's so romantic. I've been wanting to visit this high-altitude walkway for a long time
Took advantage of the good weather to go for a hike and check it in
It's really a very comfortable high-altitude walkway
I would give a good review for the walkway design, environment, and experience
√High-altitude Walkway
From low to high, it spirals up along the mountain
The lower part of the walkway is mainly white, fresh and romantic
The higher part of the walkway is colorful, also fitting the theme of love
√Environment
This place is part of the Longquan Mountain Range, with lush green trees on the mountain
The best part is the cityscape not far away, which is spectacular
It even feels a bit like a mirage
√Experience
The whole journey is 2950 meters, about 30 minutes if you walk fast, or an hour if slow
There are many details related to the theme of love, such as romantic phrases on the steps
Heart-shaped logos, etc., so you won't feel bored while hiking
And there are many rest areas in the middle, with vending machines for self-service replenishment
What I love the most is standing at a high point, looking at the distant city
Truly 'When you stand at the top, you can look down on all the other mountains'
❗️tips
📍Lion's Fort Viewing Platform
If you're driving, park your car at the parking lot at the foot of the mountain and hike up
For the way down, there are buses on the mountain, or you can return the same way~
Currently, there is no entrance fee~
The moon above and the beloved in your heart, both are pure moonlight
