Today, I want to take everyone into the beautiful rear mountain of Qingcheng, to explore the treasures of nature together.🌲🌳 Firstly, departing from Xipu in Chengdu, the journey to Qingcheng Mountain is not complicated, but there is one thing to note. Once you arrive at Qingcheng Mountain station, you have to choose how to get to the rear mountain scenic area. We chose a method that cost 40 yuan, but in fact, you only need to spend 20 yuan. There's no need to take the shuttle bus for 20 yuan; it's only a one or two-kilometer walk, which is easy and saves money.🚶‍♂️💰 Next, there are cars from Baiyun Mountain Top that go directly to Qingcheng Mountain station, costing 70 yuan per person. This price seems a bit high, but interestingly, they say that if you choose to take the cable car down the mountain, it costs 75 yuan, but they only charge 70 yuan. This is somewhat confusing; do you have to take both cable cars?😅🤔 Finally, the cable car near Wanfo Cave charges 45 yuan per person for the descent. The information we found before we went was 30 yuan, and we don't know why the price increased. Since there were five of us, we unanimously decided to walk down the mountain and then go for a big meal of skewers, which was more cost-effective.🍢👣 Overall, the trip to the rear mountain of Qingcheng is full of surprises and challenges. As long as you prepare well and avoid some unnecessary expenses, you can enjoy an unforgettable hiking trip. I hope my sharing can help everyone, and I wish you all a pleasant travel experience in the rear mountain of Qingcheng!🎉🏞️

If you want to relax, climbing a mountain might be a good choice. I went there in early June when it was raining, but the misty rain made the whole mountain look even more beautiful. The process was also interesting. The back mountain of Qingcheng gave me a feeling of tranquility. At a glance, it was all green, very friendly to my eyes, and I was crazily inhaling oxygen. There are many streams and small waterfalls running through the mountains. Sitting on the Baiyun Cableway and looking at the misty Qingcheng Mountain was like entering a fairyland. All the photos were taken with the original camera of the phone, I liked it so much! My transportation: Departed from Xipu Station at 9:50 Arrived at Qingchengshan Station at 10:30 Turn left out of the station, take the shuttle bus between the high-speed train station and the back mountain Got off the bus at 11:20, had lunch My duration and route: Started climbing from Taian Ancient Town after lunch at 12:00 Took about 3 hours to reach Baiyun Cableway The Baiyun Cableway ride was about 25 minutes Walked down from the cableway, arrived at Taian Ancient Town at 17:40 Went up the mountain via Feiquan Gully, took the Baiyun Cableway, and came down the mountain from Wulong Gully My expenses: Inevitable costs: round-trip high-speed train ticket (20), round-trip bus (30), entrance ticket (20, student ticket 10), one-way Baiyun Cableway (45) Other expenses: buying water, corn, smoked ribs, meals Spent about 170 in total ‼️‼️‼️Some precautions: The mountain paths are narrow, try to avoid going during peak times The roads are quite slippery, wear shoes with good slip resistance The signal in the mountains is not very good, it is recommended to go with others The weather in the mountains is changeable, it is recommended to carry an umbrella and raincoat The higher you go, the more expensive things get, bring some water and snacks The last shuttle bus from the high-speed train station to the back mountain is at 19:30 in the evening, plan your descent time accordingly

It is also the mascot for the 2024 Chengdu World Horticultural Exposition. 🌲Every year at the end of spring and beginning of summer, the Davidia involucrata trees bloom fragrantly, with clusters of white flowers dancing in the wind on the branches, resembling doves in flight, hence it is also called 'dove tree', symbolizing 'peace and friendship'❗️ 🍃Like the giant panda, the Davidia involucrata flower is a treasure bestowed upon Dujiangyan by nature. Currently, the Davidia involucrata flowers in Dujiangyan are blooming beautifully, so come and witness their charm! 🍃The flowers of Davidia involucrata are pure white and elegant. When they bloom, the flowers do not have petals, but are wrapped in two bracts of different sizes, enclosing a dark purple spherical pistil. 🌿In the most beautiful April when flowers bloom like brocade, if you have the chance, you can go to places like Dujiangyan Yijie District, Nanqiao Square, Longxi Hongkou National Nature Reserve, Qianhou Mountain of Qingcheng, and Jiangnan Yi Manor to witness the blooming of Davidia involucrata trees!
