The river water here is very clear and cool, with a relatively fast flow. There are many stones in the riverbed, and you can wade in the shallows. The banks are covered with green mountains and trees, offering a nice natural environment, perfect for summer cooling and water play, and relaxing with fresh air.

Unveiling Chengdu's Hidden Gem! A Secret Water-Play Paradise like a Blue Glass Sea
Hey, buddies! 👋 Summer is here, do you want to find a cool place to splash around in the water? 🏊 There's such a hidden spot for water fun around Chengdu, it's like stepping into a blue glass sea, instantly feeling the coolness of 20 degrees! 😍
Remember the weekend trip to Dujiangyan for water fun, crowded with people and jammed with cars, really tiring 😩. But this time, I've found a secret haven in the deep mountains and valleys of Chongzhou - Yuke Garden! 🌳 Departing from the west gate, it takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes to get there, the road conditions are great, no traffic jams, just too perfect! 🚗
The rivers here are crystal clear, with sparkling waves, like a blue gemstone. 💎 The river beach is shallow, so it's super safe for kids to play in the water. 👶 There's also a small waterfall formed by the upstream water storage, which is simply a perfect backdrop for photos! 📸 Setting up a canopy in the water, pitching tents by the river, camping, barbecuing, picnicking, do whatever you want, free and easy! 🏕️
I've also organized the various water entry points of Jiguanshan for everyone, from the downstream Cuiyun Villa to the upstream Zhugencun Health Station, each section has different beautiful scenery waiting for you to explore. 🗺️ Especially the Yuke Garden section, with the feel of a small waterfall, deep pools and shallow beaches, few people and beautiful scenery, definitely worth a visit! 👣
Come here to feel the coolness and beauty of nature, and double the happiness of summer! 🌞
