Good places for summer graduation travel: Southern Sichuan Bamboo Sea Travel Guide

You must still remember the scene in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon": Fa Ge wore a white robe and swayed gracefully on the bamboo forest. I don't know how many fans were fascinated. General tourists don't have many opportunities to fly over beautiful forests, but you can still find a suitable place to "fantasize". In the Bamboo Sea in southern Sichuan, you will have the opportunity to pretend to be a hermit in the bamboo forest

The Southern Bamboo Sea in central Sichuan is really an ocean of bamboo, with more than 70,000 acres of green bamboo, covering 27 mountains and more than 500 peaks . There are 58 species of bamboo in 15 genera growing here. In addition to the common bamboos such as Moso bamboo, Moso bamboo, and Ci bamboo, there are also rare bamboo species such as purple bamboo, Luohan bamboo, manmian bamboo, and mandarin duck bamboo. Summer is here, the bamboo sea is lush and green, and winter is silvery white. It is a rare large-scale bamboo scene at home and abroad. Together with dinosaurs, stone forests and hanging coffins, it is known as the four wonders of southern Sichuan.

Instructions before sailing to Nanzhu Sea

The average altitude of Bamboo Sea is about 600-1000 meters, the lowest temperature is not lower than 0, and the highest temperature is not higher than 30. The east is warm and the summers are cool and very pleasant, so the climate here is suitable for traveling all year round.

There are hotels on the mountain that provide accommodation, but it is more interesting to stay in a temple or a farmhouse. Visiting during the day, watching fireflies and listening to frogs playing the piano at night is like entering a paradise. It is recommended to plan at least two days to visit the Bamboo Sea. If you only visit for one day, you can only see the main attractions and not the bamboo sea.

Must-visit attractions

Emerald Gallery

The Jade Corridor, located deep in the Bamboo Sea, is an attraction in the Bamboo Sea in southern Sichuan. Its pavement is paved with natural red sandstone, as bright as a bamboo pole. Both sides are crowded with old bamboo and Hsinchu archways, blocking the sunlight in the sky. The red carpet-like highway and the green screen-like bamboo forest complement each other, forming a beautiful and magnificent emerald corridor, which is also the most distinctive and iconic landscape of the Bamboo Sea in southern Sichuan.

Fairy Lake, one of the famous scenic spots in Bamboo Sea, is located on the top of Fairy Cave, 12 kilometers away from Wanling Bridge, the tourist gathering place, and forms a tourist loop with Tianbaozhai and Fairy Cave. Fairy Lake covers an area of ??more than 30 acres. The lake water is clear and green. In the early morning, the sun sets in the west. Under the rays of the sun, Fairy Lake is like a golden lake basin, magnificent and brilliant.

Forget the Valley

This is a place not to be missed. The jade-like bamboo forest blocks the sunlight, and the entire valley is very deep. Entering the gatehouse, walking on the winding stone road up the river, sometimes walking into the green bamboo forest, sometimes crossing the bamboo path and bamboo bridge, sometimes walking in the dense bamboo forest, there is a graceful feeling of winding paths leading to seclusion.

Tianbaozhai

Tianbao Village is a natural rock cavity with a cliff above and a thousand-foot cliff below, which is too steep to climb. The scenery here is spectacular. On a sunny day, the red sandstone shines brilliantly under the sunlight; on a foggy day, the scenery is beautiful with clouds and mist. The cave is surrounded by bamboo, which acts like a natural barrier blocking the view, although walking inside is not dangerous.

Guanlou

This is the highest point in the Bamboo Sea Scenic Area. Climbing up the building you can overlook the entire Bamboo Sea Scenic Area in southern Sichuan, and there is a cableway next to it that leads directly to Moxi. Then you can take a taxi, take a sightseeing bus or walk to Wangyou Valley.

The Lake in the Bamboo Sea

It is located on the left side of the road from the Emerald Corridor in the Bamboo Sea Lake to the Xianyu Cave Scenic Area. It is the first scenic spot in the Xianyu Cave Scenic Area. Located on the left side of the middle section from the Emerald Corridor to the Fairy Fish Cave Scenic Area, it is an artificial lake with an area of ??about 60 acres. The swaying island in the middle of the lake divides the lake into two halves, with rippling blue waves. You can row bamboo rafts on the lake; there are teahouses, restaurants and other facilities beside the lake. This place is suitable for accommodation, and we recommend farmhouses deep in the scenic area. Very unique and very comfortable to stay for one night.

The Fairy Cave

The Fairy Cave is deep and dangerous, located in the natural rock cavity of the cliff, and

Longyin Temple, also known as Weilong Temple, is surrounded by The blue waves are vast, the sky is vast, and the wind is blowing. The sound of the bamboo waves sounds like the roar of a dragon, hence the name Longyin Temple. It is located three kilometers northeast of the Emerald Corridor of Longyin Temple, covering an area of ??450 square meters. It was built during the Wanli Period of the Ming Dynasty (1573-1620). There is a Reclining Buddha Cave at the foot of the mountain gate behind Longyin Temple. The stone Buddha lies in the cave. The year and month it was carved and why it was carved halfway up the mountain await further excavation and research.

Colorful Waterfall

Colorful Waterfall, also known as Falling Soul Platform. 755-79000: "Wanling Qing's north and south waterfalls are almost like Mount Lu." Where rocks fall, there are often hanging waterfalls. Among the dozens of waterfalls with different postures in the mountains, the most spectacular ones are the colorful waterfalls. Colorful Waterfall is located in the Calabash Valley between Shigu Mountain and Shiluo Mountain. The water flowing out of the deep forest falls under the Huilong Bridge in four levels. The colorful waterfall hangs down the cliff with a drop of nearly 200 meters, which is spectacular.

Must do

1. Stroll along the Emerald Corridor.

Come to the famous "Emerald Corridor" in Zhuhai, southern Sichuan, and walk on the quiet bamboo path. The fresh air is filled with the fragrance of bamboo leaves, and it feels like you are outside the world.

2. Boating in the lake of the Bamboo Sea

The "Lake in the Bamboo Sea" is actually the lake in the Bamboo Sea. The lakes in the bamboo sea are green and unfathomable, surrounded by bamboo forests and hills, and the charming figure of Nanzhu can be seen at the bottom of the lake. Boating on it is like being intoxicated in a green dream. The bamboo rafts here are 100% self-service. There are no boatmen. Tourists taking the bamboo rafts are "self-reliant" and can enjoy the fun as much as they like.

When you pick up the bamboo oar and let the bamboo raft float in the lake of the bamboo sea, you wash away all the noise, and even if you are full of worries, it will turn into joy.

3. Visit the bottom of the sea and see the whole bamboo sea.

Mountain peaks, ridges, and a dense and widely distributed vast sea of ??bamboo are all in sight. The feeling of lush greenery and the sound of the waves is right there.

Everyone who has been there says so.

Here, I live in a small bamboo house, sleep on a small bamboo bed, sit on a small bamboo stool, and even eat a full bamboo banquet. This is really a world of bamboo. The all-bamboo banquet will make people want to look at it, such as bamboo fungus soup, hot bamboo shoots, magnolia slices, bamboo tube rice and so on. In this bamboo world, your eyes are full and your mouth is full of enjoyment.

The Sichuan Bamboo Sea is the largest green bamboo park in China. In fact, for tourists, this is just an advertisement or a gimmick, because no tourist can travel across such a large area, and no tourist can see the panoramic view at a glance. However, the Bamboo Sea in southern Sichuan can give us a quiet, peaceful and relaxed life. This may be what tourists really want and what they can truly experience. Isn't it enough that they can feel this when they arrive at Zhuhai?

When you arrive at the gate of Zhuhai, don’t think everything will be fine. There is also a section of winding mountain road waiting for you. Since the Bamboo Sea is actually built on a mountain, you have to climb over the mountain to truly reach the hinterland of the scenic spot. The whole journey is about 18 kilometers, and the road surface is all two-lane cement roads.
