Pass through the modern museum
The noise and heat are isolated at this moment
Only the lush green forests and bamboo
And the melodious chirping of insects
There is a sense of 'listening to the wind in the bamboo sea'
'How much, the bamboo shadows enter the painting'
The atmosphere is poetic
After entering the bamboo sea through the main gate
The air suddenly becomes fresh
Negative oxygen ions are off the charts!!
Walking across the Marriage Bridge
The mist is diffused in the air
Hazy as if entering a fairyland~
○ The first half of the journey
The path is relatively gentle
You can play with water, look at the bamboo forest, waterfalls
The bamboo forest and the ancient style are so well matched~
You can wear Hanfu to take photos

Chengdu's "Little Jiangnan" | Qionglai Lianghe Village's Thousand Acres of Rapeseed Flower Fields
Qionglai Lianghe Village's Thousand Acres of Rapeseed Flower Fields. As the temperature rises in early February, a vast expanse of rapeseed flowers has quietly bloomed between Qionglai and Pujiang. Living by the water, the scenery is endowed with more spirituality and charm, earning it the nickname "Little Jiangnan" of Chengdu!
The rapeseed flowers in Qionglai Lianghe Village are in full bloom, perfect for taking photos. The fields are distributed on both sides of the river, with undulating elevations creating a picturesque scene. It is expected that there will be a large number of visitors on the weekend, while there are fewer tourists during the week. The village has built many parking spots and there are also many small vendors, and you can even take a boat tour.
Location: Qionglai Lianghe Village (over 50 kilometers from Chengdu, about 1 hour by car,)
Admission: Free
Parking fee: 10 yuan
The spring breeze brings warmth to Lianghekou
Located on the southwest side of Chengdu, Lianghekou, situated in the Mourli community of Yang'an Street in Qionglai, lies at the confluence of the Danna River and the Pujiang River. It is a riverside village where most villagers live along the river. Stretching over 4 kilometers, the riverbanks are terraced with fields of rapeseed flowers, large and small, covering thousands of acres. Visiting this season, warmed by the spring breeze and with flowers blooming in unison, Lianghekou turns into a golden sea of rapeseed blossoms.
From the water's edge to the slope banks and up to the dams, the rapeseed flowers are layered and undulating, like a golden cloak on the shoulders of 'Lianghekou', with green bamboo and villages interspersed, resembling green sailboats embroidered on the cloak. Along the riverbank is the road from Xinjin to Pujiang, and not far from the road is the continuous Changqiu mountain range, with the Chengya Expressway winding through the mountains.
Navigation location: Lianghekou (over an hour's drive from Chengdu).
Parking: Parking is tight during the flower season, it is recommended to park outside and walk in.
Dining: There are plenty of snack bars and restaurants here, but the taste is very average. It's best to bring a meal prepared in advance, lay out a picnic mat on the grass by the river, and even bring a barbecue grill and various ingredients for an open-air BBQ by the river while enjoying the flowers and the sun.
Best viewing period: From the end of February to mid-March every year.
Tickets: Free.
Thousands of acres of rapeseed flowers turn into a 'Little Jiangnan': Lianghe Village in Qionglai
People say that the spring scenery in Jiangnan is good everywhere, with birds singing and flowers fragrant, willow catkins like smoke, and Chengdu also has such scenery, right in Lianghe Village, Qionglai. Lianghe Village is located at the junction of Qiong (Lai), Xin (Jin), and Pu (Jiang), which is also the confluence of the Darnan River and the Pujiang River, surrounded by water to the southeast, belonging to the riverside villages. Here, without going down to Jiangnan, you can enjoy the scenery of Jiangnan.
The land in Chengdu is fertile, and rapeseed flowers can be seen almost everywhere, but when it comes to uniqueness, Lianghe Village in Mourui Town of Qionglai is worth recommending.
Lianghe Village is known as the 'Thousand Island Lake' closest to Chengdu and is also poetically referred to as 'Little Jiangnan'. During the season when the rapeseed flower sea is in full bloom, the banks are always full of golden yellow, with boats on the water and people wandering among the flowers, becoming a 'hot spot' for spring outings.
The Pujiang River and the Nan River meet, with undulating terrain, creating a sense of hierarchy in the blooming rapeseed flowers, which is eye-catching. There is a sightseeing path in the flower fields, convenient for tourists to visit, and if the weather is good, taking a boat tour is also a unique feature.
The banks are covered with golden rapeseed flowers, forming a large golden sea of flowers on the water surface. The tranquility and serenity of the water town are refreshing,
On the grass by the bank, lay a comfortable picnic mat, set up delicious snacks, you can boil tea around a stove, with a few good friends, immerse yourself in the fragrant sea of rapeseed flowers, and breathe in the essence of nature.
Tip: Self-driving is recommended.
The rivers of Lianghe Village divide the land in half, with a 4-kilometer-long riverbank line, and on both sides, according to the terrain, there are thousands of acres of rapeseed flower fields scattered high and low. Every year when the spring breeze warms, all the flowers bloom together, and the mouth of the two rivers becomes a golden sea of rapeseed flowers.
