[2025 Chongzhou ] Travel Guide for Foxriver Camp (Updated Jun)

Lone River Crossing Forest Journey: Secrets of Being Lost and Reborn Beyond the steel-and-concrete cities, in the blank spaces of navigation maps, lies a silent lone river and an untamed forest. Here, there are no Instagrammable spots, no meticulously designed hiking trails—only raw, wild vitality thriving unchecked. You will get lost. Your shoes will get soaked. You will lock eyes with ancient souls. This is not a comfortable outing but a gentle rebellion against modern life. When your phone loses signal and your compass wavers, you’ll truly awaken—at Lone River Crossing, we inevitably come face-to-face with ourselves. Guide: 1. How to Get There: - By car: Navigate to "Heishui Ridge," then drive east for about 7 km until you see the abandoned forestry checkpoint to park. - Public transport: Rural buses arrive at Hekou Village every Wednesday/Friday; a 3-hour hike into the mountains is required. 2. Must-Do Experiences: - Dawn ferry crossing: At 5 a.m., ride the raft of forest ranger Lao Zhang to cross the lone river through morning mist. - Moss maze: A 2-square-kilometer wetland by the river bend, where hundreds of moss species form a natural labyrinth. - Moonlit tree shadows: Visit around the full moon to see ancient pines cast mysterious totems on the river’s surface. 3. Survival Tips: - Essentials: Waterproof map (available at the visitor center), bear bells, and an outdoor water bottle that filters river water. - Danger zones: Avoid areas marked with red ribbons—these indicate swampy terrain. - If lost: Look for blue paint marks on tree trunks; they appear every 500 meters, pointing toward the ferry. 4. Hidden Gems: - In the hunter’s cabin guestbook near the third ferry, you’ll find an unfinished poem left by a poet two years ago. - After thunderstorms, perfect geometric mushroom circles appear in forest clearings. - If you meet an Oroqen elder selling wild honey, trade cigarettes for stories. 5. Philosophical Advice: Bring your heaviest burdens, but don’t expect answers. The lone river offers just the right amount of getting lost, like its suddenly vanishing tributaries. When you return muddy to the roadside, you’ll find some obsessions quietly left behind on the opposite bank. Note: This guide refuses to provide GPS coordinates. True arrival requires a little clumsy searching.

🧣As winter quietly approaches, the cold in Chengdu also brings a unique charm. Escaping the hustle and bustle of the city, I found a secret garden like a Nordic fairy tale - Fox River Watanabe Forest Camp, a place where the soul is healed. 🏡Upon arriving at the camp, the first thing that catches your eye is the small wooden houses adorned with snow, as if stepping into a dreamy fairy tale world. Elf treehouses, water cabins, Christmas cabins... each exudes a unique charm. Looking out the window at the falling snowflakes, my heart instantly calmed down. 🔥At night, the small bonfire in the camp is lit, and the warm flames dispel the winter chill. We sat around the fire, roasting sweet potatoes, chatting, and enjoying this rare tranquility and warmth. The aroma of barbecue wafts through the air, making people drool. 🎶And when night falls, the camp also hosts forest concerts, with singers performing live. The melodious singing echoes in the forest, adding a touch of romance and warmth to the cold winter night. 📸This is also a great place for photography. Wearing solid-colored clothes, paired with warm-colored accessories, posing in front of the snow, metasequoia forest, and cabins, every photo can be stunning. 🏞In addition to enjoying the beautiful scenery and delicious food, the camp also offers a variety of outdoor activities, such as skiing (depending on the weather), glider experiences, hot air balloon rides, etc., making the winter journey more colorful. 🍵After a day of activities, why not come to the forest tea break area, taste a cup of warm health tea, paired with roasted chestnuts and sweet potatoes, let the warmth spread from the tip of the tongue to the heart. 🚗Transportation is also very convenient. It takes about 40 minutes to drive from downtown Chengdu. If you take public transportation, it only takes 10 minutes by taxi after getting off the station to reach the camp. 🌟This winter, if you are also tired of the cold and noise of the city, why not come to Fox River Watanabe Forest Camp and experience a different winter journey!

People should live in places without ceilings🏕️ As the weather heats up, Chengdu's temperature soars to 28 degrees For a family weekend outing, it's essential to find a place with good air and a cool, comfortable environment, and the campsite my friend chose this time is amazing!😍 🌲Dozens of acres of campsite are completely surrounded by metasequoia, making the air here exceptionally fresh! Can't help but take deep breaths of oxygen. 🌲Paddle a kayak with the kids, then enjoy a delicate afternoon tea and a self-service barbecue🥩 There are also frisbees🥏, footballs⚽, badminton🏸, shuttlecocks, and various other free equipment🆓 provided, so there's no worry of boredom, don't be too comfortable this weekend! 🌲And the owner has also raised a two-month-old baby fox🦊, it's so cute!

I procrastinated until the afternoon to go, and instantly I regretted it‼️ I should have gone early in the morning‼️ Instantly freeing my hands and lying flat all day‼️ The campsite has kayaks for paddling, and you can also play in the water. However, I recommend wearing a swimsuit, or bringing an extra set of clothes. Many children got their clothes and even their underwear wet while playing in the water, and it's important to be careful not to catch a cold while playing in the water during summer. The whole campsite is lush and green, and even on hot days, it's very cool. There are also plenty of entertainment facilities, so you can free your hands and go wild with the kids. In the evening, there are fireworks🎆 and the fairy sticks that children love❗️ It's really great‼️ 📍Address: Fox River Riverside Forest Camp 🅿️Parking: There is a parking lot but it's not big, 🉑️ parking on the roadside

|The little fox is so cute! . This weekend, I invited a few friends to go to a camping site in the suburbs. We chose a camping site with beautiful scenery, surrounded by green trees and fresh air! The aroma of the barbecue ingredients prepared by the boss filled the air. The steak was fresh and coated with the store’s secret sauce. The meat gradually turned golden and tempting, and there was afternoon tea together! In addition to barbecue, we also played frisbee, table tennis, badminton, etc. 🏸🎾 Outdoor sports can not only exercise the body, but also relax the mind. Camping in Chengdu has become a new trend! !

Chengdu already has a Christmas atmosphere. It's really ahead of the curve! Live photos Location: Fox River Waterside Forest Campground The cabins, snow scenes, and Christmas decorations here made me think I was in Northern Europe. There is such a strong Christmas atmosphere ~ and it’s so easy to take pictures without anyone around. The boss was also very nice and took a lot of photos of the fireworks for us. Snow scenes can be created here every day, unlike other places where you have to choose a time or weekend to do it. Hurry up and make an appointment with your good sisters~
