[2025 Jiangyou Attraction] Travel Guide for Douchuan Mountain Scenic Spot (Updated Jun)

This is a relatively easy route, and the tour takes about 3-4 hours. You can sleep in in the morning and set off at 9 or 10 o'clock. It takes about an hour and a half to drive from Mianyang to Wudu Town. Wudu Town is quite big and you can go shopping. There is also an old street, which is quite interesting. It was around 11 o'clock when we arrived, so we had brunch. You can choose Heping casserole, Wudu Xiangba fish, pig intestine restaurant, etc. We wanted to eat casserole but it was not open (7th day of the first lunar month), so we went to eat Yang pig intestine. There are several pig intestine restaurants next to the vegetable market. Then go directly to Doushan Mountain and it will take 15 minutes by car. If you don't have a ticket at the gate, you can buy one. If you have already bought a ticket, drive in directly🚗, and continue to go up the mountain after the ticket is checked, and drive to the parking lot at the gate🅿 Check in at the archway at the gate and take photos📸, then start climbing the 800 steps, which is really steep, Then there are the winding nine-turn steps, and after going up, it is a relatively flat road, Then on the left is Huanglin, and on the right is Yunyan Temple and Guanfengping, Guanfengping is the place for amusement projects, swings, grass skiing, speed skating, paragliding, etc. (I didn't play them🥲), and it is the only place to burn incense. Then we went to the top of the mountain. The most famous Iron Chain Flying Crossing of Doushan Mountain is here. See the picture for the performance time. I have to say it is indeed a bit thrilling, but there are safety ropes and the performances are relatively simple. The three peaks facing each other are indeed very distinctive, very upright and steep. From the top of the peak, you can see Jiangyou City, Guanwu Mountain, Wudu Reservoir, etc. in the distance. It is a good place to climb and see the distance. Then just go down the mountain. There is a best viewing point that you must visit! This is the location where the cover photo of Doushan was taken. After going down the mountain, you can go to Jiangyou City for a walk and eat, visit the night market on Huopao Street to eat snacks, or eat some pig intestines. The time is perfect!

People always have to visit their hometowns. So I came to Jiangyou, my ancestral home. This is a seriously underestimated small town. The tranquil and poetic atmosphere makes people feel comfortable. Li Bai lived here for 24 years. I spent one day to experience his world. 🍵Must-check-in • Chanlin Temple. A temple hidden deep in the fields. The temple is not big, but there is a different world inside. You can copy scriptures and pray, drink tea and enjoy flowers, and you can also see the 🚂 small train passing through the fields. It is simply an ideal back garden. You can also explore the nearby country roads, where there are abandoned railways and rice fields, which are great for taking photos! ☑Reservation for balcony seats is required in advance on holidays ☑The temple has vegetarian meals🍚Lunch at 11:30, dinner at 17:30 ☑If you drive, there is a parking lot here; if you come by train, it takes 10 minutes to get there by taxi from Jiangyou Station 🎋Must-check-in•Li Bai Memorial Hall In the autumn of October, the Li Bai Memorial Hall is still green and lush, 🎐Cicadas chirping, light falling, ancient wood fragrance... Although it is an imitation Tang Dynasty building, the simple beauty of the garden landscape is enough to make me stop. The memorial hall not only houses several collections of Li Bai's poems, but also calligraphy and paintings by famous artists of all dynasties. If you have enough time, it is really worth staying here. ☑Tickets are free, opening hours are 9:00-17:00 ☑There is a 🍵Gu Mo Ningjia Teahouse on the right hand side of the entrance of the scenic spot, which is good, with an average of 10-40 yuan per person ☑Stamps can be stamped in the cultural and creative store at the entrance. Friends who like to collect stamps should remember to bring a notebook 🚄Transportation: From Chengdu, it takes 1 hour to reach Jiangyou by high-speed rail, and 3 hours to reach Jiangyou by self-driving 📝Recommended one-day route: Jiangyou Station-Chanlin Temple-Li Bai Memorial Hall-Pao Cannon Street-Jiangyou Station 🥘Must-check-in food: Jiangyou pig intestines, Mianyang rice noodles ⛰️If you have time, you can also climb Doushan Mountain, which is a fairy mountain written into poems by Li Bai

🌸 Douqi Mountain is located on the banks of the Fu River in Wudu Town, Jiangyou City, and is famous for its unique natural landscape and rich historical culture. 🔥 Because the mountain is made up of pebbles the size of beans, it forms the largest conglomerate cliff in the country and has been designated as a national geological park. 🌈 Li Bai, in his youth, visited this mountain and was attracted by its beautiful scenery, leaving behind the famous verse 'Woodcutters and farmers come and go as if in a painted screen,' praising the beauty of Douqi Mountain. Jiangyou is Li Bai's hometown, where not only his former residence, Longxi Courtyard, is preserved, but also Taibai Temple, Fen Bamboo Tower, Li Bai's Robe and Hat Tomb, Kuangshan Reading Platform, and other relics related to Li Bai's life and studies. 🌙 As Li Bai's hometown, Jiangyou not only has a rich cultural heritage but has also done a lot of work in tourism development, creating tourist routes and attractions themed around Li Bai's culture, attracting many domestic and international visitors to come and learn, and experience the charm of Li Bai's culture. Through these efforts, Jiangyou has successfully passed down the stories and spirit of Li Bai, making it a cultural bridge connecting the past and the present, China and the world. ☁️ Mushroom soup chicken rice noodles!

There are usually three common sauces on the table, and once dipped, it cannot be dipped again because it is shared. Usually, it costs a few cents for a small toothpick, which is very interesting.

A road fragrant with rapeseed flowers, the mountains a splendid tapestry. Departing from the ancient town of Qingmuchuan in Hanzhong, passing through the Jianmen Pass in Guangyuan, driving straight to Jiangyou in Mianyang, and ascending to Mount Douqi. In the evening, I stayed at a mountain-view hotel within the scenic area, driving up near the Yunyan Temple at the mountain top. A thousand mountains without a bird in flight, ten thousand paths devoid of human tracks. In the early spring, there are few visitors, as if the entire mountain has submerged into a realm of utter silence, with only the pitter-patter of the rain to be heard. The mountain air grows finer as the day wanes, and the birds in flight return together. I fell into a deep, dreamless sleep, and upon waking, I climbed to the top of the desolate mountain, sipped tea in the temple, and experienced a unity with the heavens, forgetting all words in the tranquility.

Take the 806 stair hike (or cable car) to the top of this beautiful mountain in Sichuan, China. This Buddhist temple dates back to the mid 1700s during the Ming Dynasty. The beginning hike is very steep, taking on hundreds of stairs. If stairs aren’t your thing, take the cable car for a fair price . It is 100% worth the view at the top! At 1:30pm, a stuntman walks the cable connecting the two peaks. It’s quite the show! The top is covered with trees and cool places to rest, have some snacks, and take unforgettable pictures! #hiking #Sichuan #China #mountain #buddhisttemple #stairs
