| Listen to advice! Climbing Qingcheng Back Mountain might be easier this way!.🌿 Qingcheng Back Mountain, as Chengdu's backyard, is also a summer resort! Please accept this guide!
As a local, I have been there many times, and this time I have summarized an easy hiking route for everyone!
Qingcheng Back Mountain is actually a loop, and at the end, I have attached the loop map we walked!
⭐️There are two entrances:
Wulonggou entrance and Taian Ancient Town entrance, if you hike up the mountain, both sides are uphill!
On the Taian Ancient Town side, you can take a section of the Jinli cable car up, then walk to Baiyun Temple or directly descend from Wulonggou, which is more effortless!
📝Route Strategy:
Route 1️⃣: Wulonggou-Youyi Village-Cuiying Lake, return the same way, this section is suitable for families and beginners, it won't take too long, and the most beautiful scenery is also here, 🈶 many waterfalls!
Route 2️⃣: Taian Ancient Town-Cuiying Lake-Youyi Village-Wulonggou
We chose this loop! It took us 3 hours
Route 3️⃣: Taian Ancient Town-Cuiying Lake-Baiyun Wondrous Caves-Baiyun Temple-Reclining Buddha Cave-Youyi Village-Wulonggou Hiking the whole journey takes no less than 5 hours, and taking photos along the way takes 6 hours.
Taking the cable car:
You can take the Baiyun cable car up the mountain from Youyi Village, 30 yuan/person
You can take the Jinli cable car down the mountain from Cuiying Lake, 30 yuan/person
⭐️:
✅There are vendors selling things all the way up the mountain, so you don't need to carry too much, but even water is more expensive, as it's carried up by people!
✅The mountain roads inside are quite wet and slippery, bring a good walking stick!
✅Nowadays, there are quite a few people during the weekdays, and the mountain roads are narrow, so you can start early to go up the mountain for a visit! Travel off-peak!
✅For those driving 🚗, you can park your car in the ancient town, which saves you a bit of walking!
✅For those going up the mountain from Wulonggou, you can navigate 🧭 to Wulonggou parking lot, which is convenient, or you can park in the ancient town, and take a shuttle bus when coming down, 10 yuan/person
