15-day travel guide for Sichuan, Chongqing and nearby areas

In fact, Sichuan is very, very large, has very rich tourism resources, and there are basically countless good attractions. As a municipality directly under the Central Government, although Chongqing is not as large as a province, it still has many well-known attractions, even more than many provinces. Therefore, the direction set by the original poster is actually relatively large.

Let me just say that there is basically nothing in the urban area of ??Chongqing, so we have to go to surrounding counties.

The most famous attractions are the Dazu Rock Carvings, which are not too far from the city and have relatively convenient transportation. There are direct buses in Chongqing from Caiyuanba Long-distance Bus Station or Chenjiaping Long-distance Bus Station. You can travel around in one day and it is very cost-effective. You can stay in Chongqing and go up and come back in the evening.

Then there is Wushan Little Three Gorges, which is basically close to Hubei. It is very far away, the scenery is pretty good, and it is very famous. However, it is very inconvenient to walk back and forth. You have to go to Wushan County and then reverse the car. , so it is not recommended to go, but if you are coming from Hubei, you can go and have a look.

Fengdu Famous Mountain Ghost Town is an ordinary scenic spot, but it is very famous. It is actually very interesting to experience China's ghost culture. It's not close to the city either. You can take a bus directly from the city and spend a day there.

There is also the karst landform scenic spot in Wulong. The scenery is very good and it is not close to the urban area. However, the scenic spot is relatively close to Wulong County, so it is relatively convenient. There are the Three Natural Bridges, Fairy Mountain, Furong Cave, etc. which are worth seeing. However, the travel time may be relatively long. If you go, it is recommended to stay in Wulong County. The travel time ranges from 2 to 4 days, depending on your own ideas.

There are also Youyang Peach Blossom Spring and Wansheng Black Valley, which are not close to the city and are not very easy to get to. It is recommended to make time for scenic spots such as Jiuzhaigou, Emei Mountain and Qingcheng Mountain in Sichuan. After all, these are the most famous ones. It's a real tourist attraction and the scenery is on a higher level.

Sichuan is roughly divided into several popular tourist circles, namely Mount Emei, Leshan, Jiuzhaigou Huanglong, and Chengdu.

Since you named Jiuzhaigou, let me give you a brief summary. If you want to go there, you have two options. One is to take a plane. You can go directly to Jiuhuang Airport from Chengdu. You can go directly to Jiuzhaigou or Huanglong from the airport. If you want to save money and enjoy the scenery along the way, then take the bus at Xinnanmen Bus Station. However, it basically takes more than 8 hours to walk. The roads are all mountainous and there are occasional landslides, so there may be a certain chance of traffic jams. I have also been stuck on the road for three or four hours, although the possibility of an accident is not very high. But I can’t bear such a long drive, so I don’t recommend taking a bus. When you get off the bus in Jiuzhaigou, there will probably be a group of people asking you to stay in a hotel. It doesn't matter whether you look for it there or book online, the accommodation there is not that bad. A day trip to Jiuzhaigou is enough. You can probably walk up and take a bus into the scenic area. You can walk slowly or take a sightseeing bus and go down one stop at a time. There is a fork in the road, but it is very simple. You can see it when you get the ticket map. Got it. Also bring your own dry food, the food and drinks inside are expensive. Also be prepared with a light jacket. Jiuzhaigou is a plateau and is much colder than normal even in July. Half-sleeves and shorts are definitely not an option.

As for Huanglong, you can ask a local driver to charter a car to take you to the area in Jiuzhaigou. The scenery is also very high. The so-called colorful stones in primary school texts are also there. It is worth mentioning that the altitude there is higher than that of Jiuzhaigou. You may have mild altitude sickness, but most people will be fine once they get used to it. If unfortunately you can't adapt, don't force yourself. In addition, if you are a very sensitive person, you may also suffer from altitude sickness when you go to Jiuzhaigou (normally I would be slightly out of breath, but I won in about ten minutes).

In addition, you mentioned Jinli, which is right in the urban area of ??Chengdu. Just go directly. It is next to the Wuhou Temple, so you can go in and have a look. In addition, Jinli is the snack distribution center of Chengdu, so you can eat more, but I still recommend small shops in other places, you will be surprised. There are no other places worth visiting in Chengdu. The more famous ones are Kuanzhai Alley, Du Fu Thatched Cottage, etc. There are also some such as Jinsha Ruins, which if you are a history buff, you must not miss it. In addition, the Sanxingdui Ruins in Deyang are even more famous. A holy place of Chinese history and culture.

The most famous scenic spots around Chengdu are concentrated in Dujiangyan City, mainly Dujiangyan and Qingcheng Mountain. One is the ancient water conservancy project, which is very spectacular. It is very convenient to visit if you live in Dujiangyan city. Qingcheng Mountain is one of the four famous Taoist mountains in China. There is also the saying that Qingcheng Youtianxia means that Qingcheng Mountain is famous for its tranquility. But to experience the tranquility, you still have to go to the back mountain. The front mountain is basically filled with Taoist temples and the like. If you experience both the front mountain and the back mountain, it will definitely take two days. Qingcheng Mountain is very close to Dujiangyan, and it is only a short ride away. In addition, there is a train connection, so it is very fast to get to Chengdu. If you want to go to Back Mountain, you have to take a bus from Qianshan.

As for Mount Emei and Leshan, it is mainly Mount Emei and Leshan Giant Buddha. If you want to go, you can choose to take a train or bus, which is very convenient. Not only is it a Buddhist holy place, but the scenery is also very good. However, I have to mention that Mount Emei is much larger than other famous mountains. It would take a normal person two days to climb to the top, and they would have to stay in a temple in the mountain at night. If you don't have this awareness, please be sure to take the car up the mountain, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences. Also, if you don’t want to die miserably, please don’t tease the monkey! ! !
