The road surface of the Emerald Corridor is paved with local natural red sand and gravel, with dense old and new bamboos on both sides, blocking out the sun.
On the east side of the promenade is the largest lake in the scenic area, the "Sea in the Sea". The "Viewing the Sea" in the Guanhai Tower refers to this sea.
Attraction Location: Yibin and Meishan regions, Southern Sichuan, China (中国四川省宜宾及眉山地区)
History: The Southern Sichuan Bamboo Sea (南部竹海) is a vast bamboo forest region known for its ecological and cultural significance. The Emerald Corridor (翡翠长廊) is a scenic walking path built within the dense bamboo groves to provide visitors with immersive experiences in nature. Historically, this area has supported local bamboo-based industries for centuries, including paper, furniture, and handicrafts.
Architecture: The Emerald Corridor is constructed as a long elevated walkway made of wood and bamboo, winding through the forest. It features viewing platforms, bridges, and small pavilions designed to blend harmoniously with the surrounding greenery. Traditional bamboo craftsmanship is incorporated into the railings and pavilion designs.
Cultural Value: The Bamboo Sea is a symbol of Southern Sichuan’s connection to nature and traditional crafts. It represents sustainability, ecological preservation, and the aesthetic integration of human design into natural landscapes. The corridor allows visitors to appreciate the serene atmosphere and learn about bamboo culture.
Other Information: The area also hosts cultural festivals celebrating bamboo art, local music, and tea ceremonies. Educational boards along the corridor explain bamboo species, growth, and uses.

Nestled deep within the bamboo forest, the Emerald Corridor is another scenic spot within the Southern Sichuan Bamboo Sea. Its pavement is paved with local, natural red sandstone, "as rosy as vermilion and as radiant as the clouds." Dense rows of old and young bamboos line the corridor, blocking out the sun. The red carpet-like roadway contrasts beautifully with the lush green screen of bamboo. The undulating path, with the tall bamboos lining the roof leaning inward, almost arching together, further enhances the corridor's secluded beauty, making it a distinctive landmark of the Southern Sichuan Bamboo Sea. The Emerald Corridor, shrouded in verdant green and adorned with majestic bamboos, offers a refreshing and refreshing experience in midsummer.

The Emerald Corridor is paved with natural red sandstone, "red as cinnabar and radiant as the clouds." On either side, dense, young bamboo stands tower over the sea, blocking out the sun. The red carpet-like road and the green screen-like bamboo complement each other, creating this magnificent Emerald Corridor. The road rises and falls, and the tall bamboos on either side lean inward, almost arching together, adding to the corridor's depth and beauty, making it the most distinctive and iconic landscape of the Southern Sichuan Bamboo Sea.

The corridor is relatively short, about 200 meters, and if the weather is good, the scenery is still good.

This is the iconic attraction of the Shunan Bamboo Sea. I still remember it.

The Emerald Corridor, nestled deep within the bamboo forest, is another scenic spot within the Southern Sichuan Bamboo Sea. Its pavement is paved with local natural red gravel, known for its hue of vermilion and radiance of brilliant clouds. Dense rows of old and young bamboo groves line the corridor, blocking out the sun. The red carpet-like roadway and the lush green screen of bamboo complement each other beautifully. The undulating path, with the towering bamboos lining the roof leaning inward, almost arching together, further enhances the corridor's secluded beauty, making it a distinctive landmark of the Southern Sichuan Bamboo Sea.

The Emerald Corridor is a road with green bamboos on both sides bending towards the middle, making the road look like an ecological tunnel. It is green all year round, hence the name. Walking on the road, it is not hot in summer and is a very suitable place for a walk.

The Emerald Corridor consists of bamboo forests on either side, with a red brick path in the middle. The vibrant green of the bamboo against the red brick path should be a beautiful sight. However, the red brick path, the main thoroughfare of the scenic area, has long been riddled with potholes. Furthermore, the intermittent rain over the past couple of days has left the road muddy and slushy. Visitors must not only watch their step but also steer clear of passing vehicles. I think any other stretch of road offers far more beautiful scenery than the Emerald Corridor.

The scenery is really great, a summer resort, a place I have loved since childhood

It used to be a compacted red mud road, with the green bamboo forming a sharp contrast with the red ground. However, it was later changed to a stone road for the convenience of transportation, and that feeling is no longer there.

Without the original sharp contrast between the red mud and the emerald green bamboo, it is now just a road rather than a tourist attraction.

That's it, anyway the scenic area is not very amazing.

The Emerald Corridor in the Shunan Bamboo Sea is quite distinctive with bamboos on both sides.

There are bamboos on both sides, which is very suitable for taking pictures, but you have to wait until there are fewer people.

An important scenic spot located in Shunan Bamboo Sea Scenic Area, Changning County, Yibin City.

The tips of the bamboos on both sides almost touch each other. It is very comfortable to walk on the avenue and listen to the rustling sound of the bamboo leaves.

After reading so many introductions, I still want to experience it for myself! I look forward to...

Shunan Bamboo Sea is a popular photo-taking spot. The bamboos on both sides are very lush and droop naturally, making them suitable for taking photos.

The scenery is picturesque and the air is fresh, suitable for a family trip!

I haven't been there, but I'd still go and see it, the scenery is still very beautiful

The scenery of the Emerald Corridor is different throughout the year. Since it is a must-go route, it is a bit difficult to take a photo without other people in it.

The road surface of the Emerald Corridor is paved with local natural red sand and gravel, with dense old and new bamboos on both sides, blocking out the sun.

The scenery is not very good but the bamboo banquet is still very good

There were a lot of people when I went there, and there was a bit of traffic. But the scenery was really beautiful.

Thousands of bamboo troops are stationed here, never moving a step, in order to guard this piece of clean cloud.

This Green Bamboo Avenue, which is only about 400 meters long, although it fits its name, should not be regarded as a tourist attraction on its own because its characteristics are not distinct and are single.

On the east side of the promenade is the largest lake in the scenic area, the "Sea in the Sea". The "Viewing the Sea" in the Guanhai Tower refers to this sea.

In fact, it is just a section of the Bamboo Sea Highway, but because of the tall bamboo forests on both sides, it gives people a very comfortable feeling when cars and people walk on it.

The green bamboos on both sides are intertwined, like a beautiful ribbon. Being in it, the cool breeze is very comfortable.

The Emerald Corridor is probably the most representative corridor in the Shunan Bamboo Sea. It is very beautiful. I think I can stay in the bamboo sea for one night and get up early the next day to take pictures of the corridor. It would be best if there is a little sunshine.

Beautiful, but there are few signs for the scenic area, so it's hard to find

The only two things in the whole scenic area are the lush green bamboos on both sides and the cool weather.

The Emerald Gallery, which should have been beautiful, doesn't look so beautiful when it's full of cars.

Super, special, very, beautiful! It can make people calm down

Emerald Corridor, a scenic spot in the Southern Sichuan Bamboo Sea.
A very beautiful place, worth visiting.
There are many different kinds of bamboo nearby.

The Jade Corridor is not very long. There is not much to see. Because there are such corridors everywhere. Also, you have to pass by it anyway to go to the next attraction.

It's a stone path lined with bamboo on both sides, so walking is recommended. It's the only way to get to Ximen, so driving is like getting a free massage. The path is so short that I didn't get out of the car to walk, so I just walked by.

It's so beautiful, my wife and I agreed to come back and stay here for a month in ten years. Bamboo Sea!!!

Generally, locals don’t think that their local attractions are high-end. I have been there several times, but I don’t have much impression. I still remember the bamboo tube rice and bacon there when I was a child, which I always miss. But they don’t taste the same anymore.

My means of transportation in the bamboo sea are divided into buses, walking, and motorcycles. I am afraid of riding a motorcycle, but this time the motorcycle experience is still good. Under the high temperature of 40 degrees in Sichuan, I was very happy to shuttle through the bamboo forest.

Shunan Bamboo Sea is generally good, but the Jade Gallery used for advertising is too ordinary!

It's a very ordinary road. There are bamboo forests on both sides of the road, and then there is nothing. There are also some deformed bamboos. It's also close to the list of attractions. I can't appreciate the deformed beauty...

The Shunan Bamboo Sea offers beautiful scenery and delicious bamboo banquets.

A must-see place when visiting Shunan Bamboo Sea. The corridor is long and green, and the scenery is beautiful.

I think this is the most beautiful place in Shunan Bamboo Sea

Plenty of oxygen, beautiful scenery, a good place to go in summer

This attraction was the most disappointing, perhaps because it was the wrong season. The bamboo was yellow, so where was the emerald green?

It's just a section of the bamboo forest road. Fortunately, you don't have to walk too far. It's right outside the parking lot.

I've been there 3 times. It's the most comfortable in summer. It's very cool.

It is indeed beautiful, but the pedestrian path and the driving lane should be separated for safety and convenience.

An iconic attraction where people can enjoy the scenery while walking in the painting.

The so-called Emerald Corridor is actually the second gate of the scenic area. The difference from other bamboo forests in the scenic area is that there is an extra layer of bluestone road. There are many locals around asking you if you want to take the cable car. I don’t have a very good impression of this place. Just take a look at it by the way. It’s really not necessary to visit it as a tourist attraction.

This place has the atmosphere of a bamboo sea, with long bamboo forests, suitable for taking photos.

If only life could be like the first time we met...

The emerald green bamboo in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is right here. The bamboo forest is indeed as vast as the sea.

The green corridor and the beautiful air, take a leisurely stroll in it

It's so beautiful, but there are so many people that I can't take good photos.

The dense old and new bamboos on both sides are arched, blocking out the sun and creating a beautiful scenery.

The Emerald Corridor is paved with natural red sandstone, "red as cinnabar and radiant as the clouds." Dense rows of old and young bamboos line the roadsides, blocking out the sun. The red carpet-like road and the green screen-like bamboos complement each other, creating a beautiful and magnificent Emerald Corridor.

It is also a place to shoot blockbusters, evergreen all year round.

The eyes are full of green, which really gives the feeling of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

The long bamboos lining the corridor are not only beautiful but also practical. It was a scorching summer day when we visited the Bamboo Sea, and everyone was sweating profusely. But upon entering the Jade Corridor, a refreshing breeze filled the air. It must have been the moisture in the bamboo, diluting the sweltering air. It was a completely natural cooler, and I was amazed.

It's only a few hundred meters and you can walk there in a short while. Because it was winter, the green color of the bamboo had disappeared when I went there, so I didn't feel anything.

It's very beautiful, the environment is beautiful, and the air is very good.

One of the top 10 scenic spots in Southern Sichuan Bamboo Sea, with beautiful scenery

It's a very nice view in itself, if cars are not allowed and only walking is allowed...

I prefer the Bamboo Sea Emerald Corridor, it’s very beautiful!

The air is so fresh and the green nature of the forest is so beautiful.

The film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was once filmed here. The view from Guanhai Tower is truly a sea of green. The Shunan Bamboo Sea is also famous for its bamboo banquet. The only drawback is that the area is too large to explore on foot. It's best to drive or hire a chartered car from Yibin. Avoid using the shuttle buses within the area; they're all privately operated and the prices are outrageous.

I went there during the National Day holiday. When I got there, I felt that both sides were green and lush, which was very comfortable.

It lives up to its reputation, but you must go when there are fewer people so that the scenery will be beautiful enough.

Don't take the cable car next to the Emerald Corridor. I waited in line for two hours. Yes, there are 10 bends in total.

It is quite comfortable to walk on it when there are few people. It is quite quiet and you can take some fresh photos.

Driving a car is very convenient, but it is not easy to find a place to park during holidays.
Since I was alone, I was able to jump on a scenic area Line 2 bus (public bus) that was about to depart, while the other large groups of tourists had to wait for the next bus.
The car drove at full speed for a long time, and I felt so tired for it, but finally it arrived at the station!
After getting off the bus, I still don’t know how to go?
Because the bus stopped at the entrance of the "Emerald Gallery", I didn't want to go to the Emerald Gallery?!
I had no choice but to ask the traffic police inside the scenic area, who gestured for a long time (I didn't realize Sichuan dialect was so difficult to understand). The traffic police's general idea was: I could go along the Jade Corridor and take the cable car (own expense) to Tianbao Village; I could also take the scenic area bus to Tianbao Village (free); or I shouldn't get off the bus and stay on it...
I....
I'd better go into the "Emerald Corridor" first!
How do I take a picture of this pile of bamboo?
So I entered the Emerald Corridor from the west end and exited from the east end. In the middle of this short corridor, I saw a sign for the "Canyon Cableway".
I didn't understand, so I left the Emerald Corridor and saw a cable car ticket office, so I went up to ask.
