Cyathea Canyon

Leshan Alsophila Grand Canyon Travel Guide Navigation: Head to the Alsophila Grand Canyon in Xiba Town, Leshan.⛰️ Tickets: 10 yuan per person. Parking: A parking fee of 10 yuan per private car. Route: We entered the mountain area from Gate 1, and Gate 2 has a nine-turn path, equivalent to 9 flights of stairs, which is quite tiring to walk. There is only one way through the whole journey, no return is possible, and if you enter from Gate 1, you must exit from Gate 2. If you are not physically fit, you can also walk to Gate 2 and then turn back. It takes only two and a half hours to reach the scenic area from the south gate of Chengdu. There are no dining facilities within the scenic area, so it is best to go after having a meal or bring your own food reserves. Leaving at 10 am for a one-day trip is very appropriate, and you can also go to Leshan City to taste the delicious fried skewers.🍢 Alsophila, as the 'resident' of that era, is old and tall, simple and magnificent, showing strong vitality; the young ones are slim and graceful, full of charm. Seeing the Alsophila trees gives you the illusion of returning to the 'Jurassic' era. Experience: The main purpose of this trip is to absorb oxygen and observe the leaves, taking a short hike with a few good friends. The whole journey takes about 3 hours, covering approximately 6 kilometers. It can get a bit monotonous after a while, as the scenery along the way is largely the same, including the so-called 'King of Alsophila'... which after a long walk turns out to be just a larger Alsophila tree. However, the overall experience is still good, very suitable for taking photos, it is recommended for sisters who love to take photos to wear something sporty. In addition, visitors to this place can bring insect repellent spray, as there are many trees and water in the rainforest, and therefore a lot of mosquitoes. It would be even better if you could bring a walking stick. Dining: I recommend the 10-year-old Leshan shop - Changyao Fried Skewers (Fried Street Shop), I have been there several times, and the Sweet Skin Duck from the neighboring Sanmeier is also very delicious!
