[2025 Dayi Attraction] Travel Guide for Heming Mountain (Updated Mar)

Spring has sprung, and it's the perfect time to go hiking! The plum blossoms at Mount Heming in Dayi County are in full bloom, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene. Don't hesitate, come now, or you'll have to wait another year! Travel Guide Navigate directly to "Mount Heming Taoist Temple." Starting from the Chengdu-Wenchuan-Qionglai Expressway entrance in Chengdu, the entire journey is a little over 60 km, about a 1-hour drive. You can park your car at the entrance of the Taoist Temple and start your hike up the mountain from the small path on the right. Hiking Tips The mountain path is entirely stone-paved and can be challenging, so please be careful. When you encounter a fork in the road, choose the path with stones to continue your ascent. The initial section is the steepest and most difficult part of the climb. However, once you persevere and reach the top, the vast sea of flowers will make it all worthwhile. This steep section is about 1.5 km. Don't underestimate it; it can be quite a workout for those who don't exercise regularly! Sightseeing Guide After reaching the first sea of flowers, don't stop! Continue climbing for another two or three hundred meters to reach the "Paragliding Park." If you're feeling adventurous, try paragliding and enjoy a bird's-eye view of the beautiful spring scenery. The "Paragliding Park" is located at the top of the mountain. There's a road there. Walk a few hundred meters to the left along the road, and you'll encounter an even larger sea of flowers – the "Daping Forest Pan Park." The facilities here are well-equipped, with farmhouses offering meals and drinks. If you don't want to endure the strenuous climb or have limited mobility, navigate directly to "Daping Paragliding Park" and drive directly to the top of the mountain to enjoy the flowers. Estimated Trip Duration The entire round-trip hike takes about 3–4 hours. Our phones showed a distance of nearly 8 km, but it's not actually that far. We took many detours while digging wild onions and picking Houttuynia cordata on the hillside. If you're just hiking and enjoying the flowers, the entire round trip should be a little over 6 km. Equipment and Environmental Protection Reminder The mountain roads are uneven. Wearing comfortable athletic shoes and bringing trekking poles can make your hike easier. Please protect the environment and do not leave any trash on the mountain, so we can all keep this beautiful spring scenery pristine.

This hiking and plum blossom viewing route around Chengdu is just stunning. Plum blossoms may be less white than snow, but snow can't match their fragrance. Spring in Sichuan sees the plum blossoms in full bloom. Compared to the plum blossoms in Yane Village, I prefer this plum blossom viewing route. Suitable for families, couples, and weekend trips. Recommended for those who enjoy photography and travel.

|Hiking in Chengdu: The Most Beautiful Spring Flower Viewing Route. The warm spring sun breaks through the clouds, and the gentle wind blows on the cheeks. Everything is coming back to life, and the vitality is everywhere. New green buds quietly climb on the branches, and plum blossoms bloom unconsciously. In this season full of hope, what could be more exciting than going out for a hike and enjoying the flowers? My friends and I went to Heming Mountain in Dayi to embark on a plum blossom viewing hike. 🚗 Hiking tips: Drive directly to "Heming Mountain Dayuan Cultural Scenic Area," which is only 1 hour away from Chengdu. You can easily go there and back on the same day. There are plenty of parking spaces and no entrance fee. Enjoy your spring trip! Park your car next to the Taoist temple on Heming Mountain, and the hiking trip officially begins. There are two routes available, 8 km and 5 km. Considering the physical strength and experience of beginners, we chose the 5 km route. This route includes stone steps, cement roads, and dirt roads. The road conditions are diverse, and the whole journey takes about 3-4 hours. If it rained the previous two days, the dirt road may be slippery. Remember to wear non-slip shoes and bring a trekking pole to make your hike safer and easier. Along the way, you will see large plum blossom forests. At this time, the plum blossoms are in full bloom, and the mountains are full of pink clouds, which are extremely romantic. We stroll among them, as if we are in a dreamlike fairyland. "Go up the mountain in spring, enjoy the spring flowers, and drink spring wine." This is a romantic tradition that has been passed down for thousands of years. When we get tired, we sit under the plum tree, spread out a picnic mat, and enjoy a leisurely picnic. We learn from the ancients and take a sip of wine while chatting about the interesting things in life. When we get excited, everyone raises their glasses. During this trip, we brought Mei Jian Qingmei Wine. The refreshing floral fragrance and the fragrance of green plum perfectly blend together. The taste is sweet and sour, as if you are drinking the whole spring. In the new year, we also hung plum cards to make wishes, wrote our hopes for the future in nature, and hoped that all our wishes would come true. After the hike, we received a surprise Mei Jian Spring Gift Pack, which included Mei Jian Qingmei Wine, Plum Fragrance Tea, and a Plum Blossom Badge. This gift is full of the fragrance and vitality of spring, and it perfectly ends this wonderful hiking trip. After staying in the hustle and bustle of the city for a long time, occasionally returning to nature, strolling through the mountains and forests, breathing fresh air, and feeling the refreshing fragrance of plum blossoms, is really a pleasure. Spring is the opening of a grand performance, full of vibrant colors and vitality. May you and I cherish the love of life in the days to come and embark on new journeys.

Recently, the weather has been really too hot! It feels like people are about to melt! Escaping into the mountains to cool off over the weekend has become a nice choice. Today, I'm sharing with you a camping base located below the Tai Chi Square of Heming Mountain in Dayi, Chengdu. There's no admission fee, and importantly, the water area is quite large. It's very safe for children, even if they just lie on the river beach, because the water is really shallow but very cool. Many parents bring their children here to play in the water. Adults have options too; the water area near the arch bridge is a bit deeper but also a safe zone. Sitting by the river beach, feeling the breeze, and having a bite of ice-cold watermelon🍉 is simply blissful! In addition, there are many huge straw men on the large lawn of the camping area which are great for taking photos. Next to it, the 🦌 deer park where you can see sika deer is really nice.

Heming Mountain is the birthplace of Taoism in China, a famous Taoist mountain, located 12 kilometers northwest of Dayi County, Chengdu, Sichuan. Heming Mountain belongs to the Minshan Mountains, with an altitude of over 1000 meters, north of Qingcheng Mountain (about 30 kilometers), south of Emei Mountain (about 120 kilometers), west of Wuzhong Mountain (about 10 miles), and reaches the western Sichuan plain, about 70 kilometers from Chengdu. Named for its crane-like shape, stone cranes hidden in the mountain, and cranes living in the mountain, it is one of the four famous mountains in ancient Jiannan. In addition, Heming Mountain appears as the name of a sect in the game. Geographical environment: Heming Mountain, also known as 'Huming Mountain', is a southern peak of the Qingcheng Mountain area on the eastern foot of the Qionglai Mountain Range, only thirty kilometers away from the famous Taoist site, Qingcheng Mountain Tianshi Cave. The mountain is majestic, the forest is lush, surrounded by two streams, like a standing crane ready to fly; the scenic area is full of pines and cypresses, green and dripping, mountain streams, clear and audible, it is a famous scenic tourist area and summer resort. Historical records: According to historical records: During the reign of Emperor Shun of the Eastern Han Dynasty (126~144), Zhang Ling (Zhang Daoling) from Feng (now Feng County, Jiangsu) advocated the way of Zhengyi Mengwei (commonly known as Wudoumi Dao, also known as Tianshi Dao) on Heming Mountain in Dayi County, with Laozi Li Er as the leader and the 'Tao Te Ching' as the main scripture, marking the official establishment of Taoism. Heming Mountain is universally recognized as the birthplace of Taoism in China and the pilgrimage site of Taoism in the world, known as 'Dao Guo Xian Du' and 'Dao Jiao Zu Ting'. Before Zhang Daoling founded the religion, Heming Mountain had always been a place of cultivation for different people. It is said that Guang Chengzi (Ma Chengzi) of the pre-Qin period and Zhou Yishan of the Western Han Dynasty both ascended here on cranes. There was a hermit, Li Jia, a descendant of Lao Dan, who lived in this mountain, kept cranes as companions, played chess and realized the Tao. The sound of cranes was often heard at the foot of the mountain, hence the name Heming Mountain. Many famous Taoists of all ages have practiced here. Such as Du Guangting of the late Tang and Five Dynasties, Chen Tun (Xi Yi) of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the famous Taoist Zhang Sanfeng of the Ming Dynasty all practiced Taoism here. Some emperors also came to Heming Mountain to worship their ancestors, such as Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty designated Heming Mountain as one of the five altars for holding national prayers for eternal life, and Emperor Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty personally wrote a decree to the Taoist priest Wu Boli of Longhu Mountain to invite the immortal Zhang Sanfeng to Heming Mountain. Later, Wu Boli built a welcoming pavilion at the foot of Heming Mountain. Tang Qiu, Du Guangting, Wen Yu Ke, Lu You, Yang Shengan and many other celebrities have visited this mountain and expressed their feelings. Protection of ancient relics: Heming Mountain Taoist Temple was approved as a key cultural relic protection unit by Chengdu Municipal Government in 1985, and was approved as a Taoist opening point in 1987. The 'China Taoist Culture Festival' also set up a venue on Heming Mountain. Origin Verification: Taoism in China originated from Heming Mountain in Heming Township, Dayi County, which has long been an undisputed fact: ancient Chinese historical documents, Taoist homes and historical relics of Heming Mountain all consistently indicate that this is the birthplace of Taoism in China.
