One-day tour around Chengdu to see the Stone Forest left by the Jurassic glacial era

🏨 Shilin Valley Scenic Area, Zhongjiang County, Deyang City 🌟Highlights: One-day tour around Chengdu 'Jurassic Glacier-Antelope Valley', where everything is bold, the world is gentle, the path is bright, and the stones are kind! Rocks left by the Quaternary glacier, composed of Jurassic sandstone, the Stone Forest landscape is compactly arranged with bizarre shapes, and large swaths of orange are readily available, ensuring a worthwhile trip! 📍Detailed address: Shilin Valley Scenic Area, Zhongjiang County, Deyang City, the destination is the scenic area's ticket gate (with location) 🚉Travel strategy: 1.5h self-driving from Chengdu, self-driving recommended (parking lot 10 yuan for unlimited parking) 💰Average cost: You can buy a package ticket directly at the entrance of the scenic area: ticket + ferry car 50 yuan/person 🗓Itinerary: The place is still not completely built and is quite niche. The scenic area includes: rivers, springs, 'Longevity Bridge', 'Panlong Temple', 'Immortal Pavilion', hot spring resources, the connected Panlong Cave, Lucky Pool, and three other cave kilns, water channels, etc., all are great for taking photos! 📝Note tips: Check the weather forecast before going out, and it is recommended to choose a sunny day. The moment when the sunlight enters the cave through the cracks in the stones is really amazing! 📝Note tips: 1. The toilets in the scenic area are mobile toilets, and individual acceptance should be considered to control the issue of drinking water 2. For photography, it is recommended to use a DSLR or the phone's native camera, shoot with a wide angle for easier post-editing (the above picture was taken with the native camera and added a filter in post, but the original also has its own charm) 3. You need to prepare sunscreen, sun umbrella, water, snacks (vending machines available in the scenic area), sunglasses, power bank, mosquito repellent spray (there are more mosquitoes in the cave kilns in summer), and be careful of slippery surfaces in some damp caves!

I got a change to view huangjiguang’s tomb down in zhongjiang deyang sichuan province, it was pretty an amazing trip for person who’s so interested in military science like me, during the early days of China, huang sacrificed his fresh for the rescue of other colleague members in the battalion during the fight against the Americans and the British, hence became a remarkable martyr not in the history of zhongjiang but the whole China.i couldn’t be anywhere else other this memorial hall, thanks for Ctrip’s affordable and mobile services that made it happen #wintergetaway

Half a city of mountains and rivers, Zhongjiang Noodle Village.

Zhongjiang Noodle Village is about 4 km from Zhongjiang County. The rainbow road in front of the village is built on sunflower fields, offering a panoramic view of the noodle village. It's a leisurely and comfortable place. Here, you can go to the village to see how Zhongjiang noodles are made. The noodle village is a "Hui"-shaped courtyard dwelling with white walls and black tiles. When the sun is shining, the roofs of every household will be covered with noodles like curtains and gauze. Villagers shuttle between them to dry the noodles. The scene is beautiful and spectacular. The biggest feature of Zhongjiang noodles is its hollow shape, which is "straight and hollow". There are 16 rivers in Zhongjiang, and the main stream, Kaijiang River, is 52 km long in the territory, with a drainage area of 237 square kilometers, which surrounds Zhongjiang County. The production area of Zhongjiang noodles is concentrated in 11 towns and more than 300 families in the upper reaches of Kaijiang River. The noodles are made with underground water below 30 meters. This kind of water source is strictly protected, and the water quality is clean with low impurity content. It plays a fundamental role in the production process of Zhongjiang noodles. This is also the main reason why Zhongjiang noodle restaurants lose the flavor of Zhongjiang noodles when they open in other places. Nowadays, Zhongjiang noodles are not only a provincial intangible cultural heritage protection project, but also a national geographical indication protection product, with an annual output of 8 million jin and an annual output value of more than 200 million yuan. They are exported to the United States, Japan, the Netherlands, Australia and other places.

Southwest Jiedong Gorge Scenic Area

The Southwest Jiedong Gorge Scenic Area is located in Zhongjiang County, Deyang City, Sichuan Province. It was originally named Zhongjiang Shilin Valley Scenic Area, but was renamed because the original name did not highlight the most prominent scenery in the scenic area. Many scenic spots are either called gorges or caves, and this is the first time we have seen a cave gorge. Looking far away in the scenic area, you can see hills, grasslands, lakes, rivers and ancient buildings. When you go deep into the place where the rocks and lake water meet, the layered joints of Danxia rocks are also caves and gorges, which are strange and difficult to describe. You can see the photos at a glance.

Not Tunisia! It's around Chengdu! A 1-hour direct trip to the cave and gorge wonders.|||My friends thought I went abroad for fun. Actually, it's a one-day trip to Deyang, haha~ A 1-hour drive from Chengdu, all the way! 📍Deyang Southwest Boundary Cave Gorge Group Scenic Area Recommended rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟 【Tickets】Online ticket purchase 39.9 RMB/person, sightseeing car 10 RMB/person (The scenic area is currently in a trial operation, and the tickets are super cheap! Take advantage of the low price before it goes up‼️) 【Transportation】Self-driving is required, 🅿️ Parking lot 10 yuan/car The oddly shaped stone forest has an exotic atmosphere, super photogenic (you must dress in ancient style, dark style, or Merida style to get amazing photos! I wore too pink 🤣 just bear with it...) ✅✅✅Be sure to go when the weather is clear, the sunlight🌅 on the red stones is super beautiful! The cave is very cool, and there are 3 caves in the scenic area. You can play for 2-3 hours, sleep in in the morning, have lunch in the city at noon, and then head straight to the scenic area without rushing. Very comfortable~ There are also many large wheat fields nearby, which you can check out together. ⛔️The scenic area is still under development and some facilities are not very complete ⛔️Make sure to take care of toilet needs outside the scenic area! (The toilets inside the scenic area are simple... stuffy and smelly...)

A "Danxia landform" located in the vicinity of Chengdu

🏜️ Less than 50 kilometers from downtown Chengdu, a place strikingly similar to the "Danxia landform" of Gansu has been discovered. 🏜️ The cave and gorge cluster here is a natural formation of Jurassic sandstone that has been eroded by running water over more than a hundred million years, and it is quite spectacular. However, it is not yet fully developed, with only No. 1, 2, and 3 gorges accessible. 🏜️ On the way to the gorge cluster, you will pass over a water trail, as if employing the water-avoiding technique from a fantasy martial arts drama, walking into the water, level with the water surface, which is quite wonderful. In front of the trail, there is also a waterfall cascading down from the red stone cliffs, with water droplets splashing up, dreamlike and fantastical. 🏜️ Upon entering the gorges, what greets you is the mysterious charm of nature. What kind of magic can create such huge and rugged rocks with diverse shapes, presenting a captivating appearance. Gorges No. 2 and 3 are particularly photogenic, especially the narrow rock passageways in No. 3 gorge, where the orange-yellow spotlights cast down, resembling the American West at sunset. 🏜️ Inside the gorges, there are mostly stone steps and narrow places, so it's best not to bring baby strollers or scooters for children. The supporting facilities in the scenic area are not yet well developed, with only two snack carts available behind No. 3 gorge. 📍Navigation: Southwest Boundary Gorge Cluster Scenic Area 🕐Time: 8:00-18:00 🎫Ticket: 39.9 yuan/person; sightseeing car 10 yuan/person

A niche travel destination, the domestic version of 'Antelope Canyon'

Extremely photogenic, easily a great shot with a simple snap👍 Navigate to the Xijiadong Gorge Scenic Area, purchase tickets online in advance🎫, and then buy a shuttle bus ticket for 10 yuan per person on-site, and you can reach the scenic area to snap away. It's a place with fresh air and great for physical exercise～

As soon as the hotel is completed, the price is guaranteed to increase in the scenic area

【Features】On the basis of nature's marvelous work, roads have been artificially repaired, making it easier to visit the attractions without having to backtrack. The natural landscape is still quite stunning and very photogenic, with the best photography spots marked underfoot. It's perfect to go when the weather is good, as orange lights are used to simulate the feeling of sunlight streaming into the caves on cloudy days. Currently, three caves have been opened. Other attractions are still under construction, and it seems that conference accommodation hotels are also being built. There is a lake with many small fish, and the shallow water is suitable for playing. 【Visitor Flow】During the National Day holiday, it's a good nearby travel destination with not many people. 【Major Transportation】The road to get there is very dusty, and it's a bit bumpy as you approach, but it's better than expected. 【Scenic Area Transportation】You need to switch to a shuttle bus at the entrance of the scenic area, which costs 10 yuan per person for a round trip regardless of age. It's recommended to buy a ticket for the ride, as it feels like a 3-kilometer walk. There are three airtight buses, but they ensure that everyone has a seat. The roads are still under construction, so the conditions are poor. This may be why they currently use closed buses instead of electric carts, considering how much dust the latter would raise. 【Attention】 1. There are many mosquitoes, so bring mosquito repellent. 2. Currently, there are only simple toilets 3. Do not push baby strollers or wheelchairs, as they are completely unsuitable 4. Small dogs are allowed
