2025 Qingcheng Mountain Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

Two days of fresh air in Qingcheng Mountain ⛰️ Hot springs ♨️ Yoga practice with my mat 🧘‍♀️ Waking up to sunshine streaming through the window. I visited the cafe I'd been wanting to try. The forest cafe, surrounded by green trees and wooden houses, was a delightful surprise. How can I not fall in love with this spring mountain getaway? It's the perfect escape from work. I've been so busy lately that I desperately needed some fresh air. Even on a cloudy day, a hike in the spring mountains with friends is a great way to de-stress. ⛰️ Dujiangyan Shangyuan Ancient Path Navigate to Dujiangyan Two Rivers Impression. Park and walk straight ahead; the trailhead is on your right. It's an 8 km easy hike with beautiful scenery, perfect for a relaxing climb and absorbing the natural aura! 🛖 Qingcheng Mountain Wild Island Homestay The wooden houses are very comfortable and come with private hot springs. There are only 4–5 houses. Many people come just for coffee in the afternoon, which can affect the experience for overnight guests. The homestay doesn't currently offer meals or other activities.

I found a hidden hot spring resort! The environment is really nice and the atmosphere is great. 🧺♨️: Shanju Fu Private Hot Spring Homestay It feels like traveling back to the Song Dynasty. The hotel's natural scenery is great, surrounded by greenery. The room faces Mount Qingcheng! It snowed a few days ago and there is still snow on the mountain top. Open the large floor-to-ceiling windows to enjoy the view and the winter sunshine. The hotel's breakfast and chicken soup are delicious.🤤 There are many breakfast options, including Western food, noodles, and dumplings.🥟 The chicken soup is especially delicious, with ginkgo and fresh vegetables. It's a high-protein, high-fiber dinner, perfect for college girls like us who love to eat but want to stay in shape. The hostess is very nice, warm, and considerate. She has many cats.🐈 They are all chubby and happy. I will always love soaking in the hot spring, looking at the bamboo forest in the distance, and watching the lazy birds in the forest.

Wuwuwu forgive me for the clickbait I regret not coming earlier, the back mountain of Qingcheng is really too chill!! . Here is a detailed 2️⃣ day tour guide of the back mountain of Qingcheng📝 Day1️⃣: Xipu-Qingcheng Mountain Station-Qingcheng Back Mountain Scenic Area Day2️⃣: Dujiangyan-Yangtianwo Panda-Guanxian Ancient City-Zhongshuge-Nanqiao Night View-Return . ✔️In the morning 🚄 Xipu-Qingcheng Mountain Station, take the scenic area bus to the entrance of the scenic area 30r/person (round trip) on the left hand side of the station, or self-drive🚘 ✔️I personally think that the most beautiful scenery route is mainly concentrated in the section from Wulonggou to Youyicun, which is to walk up the mountain and take the cable car🚠 down the mountain, which is not tiring and can take beautiful photos📷 ✔️Most of the road up the mountain is stone roads and wooden plank roads, all the way up are streams and waterfalls, the air after the rain is really fresh, walk and stop to take pictures to Youyicun about 3 hours, not tired at all! . This time we came to the back mountain, we stayed at the Yun End Hot Spring Hotel in Qingcheng Mountain It's in the scenic area, the main purpose is to come for the hot spring♨️, not only there are outdoor soup pools here, but also indoor ones~ It's very suitable for climbing the mountain and returning to the hotel for dinner and rest and then soaking in the hot spring♨️ with the little sisters, looking at the misty mountains, while soaking in the hot spring while enjoying nature! Soaking in the hot spring can not only relieve fatigue, promote blood circulation, but also relax after soaking, and sleep until the next day naturally wake up! . The next day can be self-driving or Qingcheng Mountain Station-Dujiangyan Station Recommended route: Yangtianwo Panda-Guanxian Ancient City-Zhongshuge-Nanqiao Night View-Return . 🔘Back mountain ticket: 20r/person, cable car 30r/person 🔘The climbing stick bought at the entrance is 3r, I personally think that climbing must be prepared, but the cable car cannot be taken away (foldable can be) 🔘The temperature difference on the mountain is large, you must wear waterproof and warm clothes and non-slip good walking shoes 🔘 It is recommended not to bring a lot of water, there are a lot of snacks and water for sale all the way, and it is not recommended to drink a lot of water, there are really very few toilets on the road (don't ask me how I know😭) . Worship the water Dujiangyan Ask the way Qingcheng Mountain⛰️ There is still snow in the back mountain these days, if you have one or two days on weekends or weekdays, you must come to Dujiangyan/Qingcheng Back Mountain! Qingcheng Mountain·Dujiangyan

#timetotravel We came to Dujiangyan just by ourselves and without a tour group and it is quite easy. We really had a lovely time at the mountain especially seeing and walking through the beautiful nature. We didn't hike all the way to the top of the mountain because we weren't properly clothed and equipped. You will see the best panoramic stunning view of the surrounding forest Please be aware that there are some steep stairs so make sure that you are well equipped with a good pair of boots or shoes. You can also take the cable car to cut the hiking short. Entrance fee: 80 Cable car fee: 60 (roundtrip) . How to get here: From Chengdu, take te bullet train from Chengunag line at the northrailway station to Mt. Qingcheng. Have a good trip! #tripblazers #mytripvlog #chinatravel #chengdu #mountain #sichuan

Dujiangyan is a small city next to Chengdu (1h drive) and we stayed at some local hotel just for a night. Qingcheng mt is nearby, 20min by taxi and entrance to a big park is free. You can use sightseeing bus to entrance, but it's just a 25min walk to ticket office. Save some money. To visit all temples and pagoda on top, price is 80rmb. And then climbing starts...stairs, stairs and more stairs. Highly recommend Cable car return ticket (60rmb). Saving you around 2km of climbing. Plenty of small fast food and beverage stores, but pricey. Coke is 10rmb, some pies go to 25rmb. So better get some snacks and water before. On the top is amazing view on mountains, city and lake. Summer season isn't best option cuz of noisy cicadas every step of the way. Be prepared for pain in legs for a few days if you don't have stamina as we do. #hiking #mountaintop #temples #chengdu #dujiangyan #cicadas

Just above the Town of Dujiangyan is Qingcheng mountain. There are touristy hiking routes up the front with temples, pagodas and viewpoints. While the back of the mountain offers less crowded hiking and longer routes. To get there it's easy enough to take a taxi from Chengdu.

Very good vacation. Stayed at the Qingyuan Qingcheng Hotel which was only 10 mins walk to the base of the mountain. A lot of convenience for those who like to take short cuts!! Cable car to take you to the top and back down. So much to see and the views are incredible. Make sure to walk with mosquito repellent. #qingchengmountain #hiking #scenery

Exploring the Taoist culture on Qingcheng Mountain is considered as the birthplace of Taoism and one of the most important Taoist centers in China. It can be a long hike up to the top but you pass by beautiful lakes, waterfalls and plenty of nature. For the physically less active there is also a chance to pay for a cable car ride but if you have the ability to walk, I highly recommend it. You can spend a full day here and just let all your thoughts fade, refresh and re energize yourself. There are food opportunities along the way and also refreshments stops. For sure you won't get bored! #urbanexplorer#qingmingtravel#roadtrip

Looking for a weekend escape in the nature? Qingcheng Mountain in Dujiangyan, Chengdu can be the prefect place to rest your mind, soul and body.

Weather is mild but warm and great for hiking 🚶‍♂️😀 it's just about 1hr away from Chengdu city or about 1.5hrs away from Chengdu International Airport which makes it easily accessible and perfect perfect a weekend trip. #urbanexplorer#qingmingtravel#roadtrip
