[2024 Pujiang Attraction] Travel Guide for Kandengshan Cliff Statues (Updated Dec)

I really enjoy the comfortable walking and mountain climbing in Chengdu, visiting ancient Tang Dynasty relics

Cultural and Tourism Jun🕴 has discovered another walking route in Chengdu that allows for both mountain climbing and viewing of ancient Tang Dynasty cultural relics‼️ This "hidden corner" is located in Pujiang, only a 1.5h drive from Chengdu Here you can hike in the mountains🚶 You can stroll through thousands of acres of tea gardens🍀 You can wander on the cloud-level greenway🌲 You can play in the shallow stream💦 A relaxing weekend trip is just perfect! It took 2 days to organize this guide, so I suggest you save it❗ . ✅✅✅Recommended Features 1⃣Secluded Ancient Path The entire path is a perilous and tranquil stone stair mountain trail, with narrow roads flanked by stone shoulders, most of which are weathered, indicating the age of this path Climbing along the trail to the higher parts of the forest, you will pass many oddly shaped boulders, where you can sit down and rest. . 2⃣Tang Dynasty Stone Carvings There is a 50-meter-long, 15-meter-high cliff on the mountain, carved with more than 600 statues including Arhats, Thousand-Handed Guanyin, Sakyamuni Buddha, and strongmen. There are more than 600 statues on the cliff, with the larger ones over 3 meters tall and the smaller ones less than 30 centimeters. Most of them were originally carved during the Tang Dynasty, with some repairs made during the Ming Dynasty, showcasing a rich cultural atmosphere. . 3⃣Quiet and Less-Traveled This place is very niche, with absolutely no tourists, very suitable for friends who like tranquility. . 4⃣Cool and Relaxing There are plenty of trees along the mountain trail that provide shade from the sun, making it very cool. The round trip is less than 2 kilometers, and the slope is not steep, so it's pressure-free for children and the elderly. . 5⃣The Temple Known as a Clear Stream The end of the climb is the Kandeng Temple on the cliff top, which was founded during the Tang Dynasty. The view here is open, and in the early morning, you can often see the beautiful scenery of clouds and mist. The lay Buddhist aunt in the temple is very enthusiastic, and you don't need to pay for vegetarian meals and lodging here, just give whatever you feel is right—it's truly a place for pure cultivation. . 6⃣Rich Activities You can combine nearby Feixiange, Chaoyang Lake, and the Cloud-Level Greenway for a full day of fun. . 👉Pujiang Kandeng Mountain 🔍Navigation: Pujiang Kandeng Mountain 🅿️Parking: There are clear signs near the navigation endpoint, follow the signs for 200 meters, and there is a wide roadside area for parking 🎫Parking Fee: None 🎫Admission: None . 👉Recommended Mountain Climbing Route: 🚶Route: Parking spot—Tea Mountain—Boulder Array—Cliffside Trail—Cliff Carvings—Kandeng Temple—Return the same way 🚗Day trip itinerary Chengdu➠Feixiange➠Chaoyang Town➠Cloud-Level Sky Road➠Kandeng Mountain➠Return trip . 🎈Tips: It is recommended to wear anti-slip shoes, as it is cool and moist in the mountains, and be careful when descending stairs There are no meals here, so it is advised to bring your own snacks and drinking water . 🌊【Food Recommendation】 Ten kilometers away from here, Chaoyang Town's "Deng Beef Hot Pot" offers fresh beef, spicy and fragrant pot base, appetizing and perfect with rice.
