Shunan Bamboo Sea One-Day Tour Guide: The Best Route Without Getting Tired

Here's how to enjoy a one-day tour of the Bamboo Sea! Beautiful scenery without exhaustion, and you can still make it to Lizhuang for the night. Tested and super smooth route~ (Map included at the end)

1️⃣ Depart from Yibin Hejiangmen at 8 AM

Have a bowl of Yibin burning noodles 🍜, and leave promptly at 8:30 AM

(Self-driving or chartering a car is very convenient, 1 hour to the West Gate)

2️⃣ First Stop | Wangyou Valley 🎋

Park at the scenic area entrance, the morning sunlight through the bamboo forest is so healing!

The babbling creek + dappled bamboo shadows, sitting quietly at Wangyou Pavilion is super relaxing

The spot is small but great for photos, we spent nearly an hour here 📸

3️⃣ Second Stop | Bamboo Sea Museum

3 minutes by car, quickly learn about bamboo culture

A must-see for families! Various bamboo crafts are eye-opening~

4️⃣ Third Stop | Baishoutai and Guanyuntai ☁️

Park next to the viewing platform, no walking needed!

Overlooking the full view of "Hundred Turtles Paying Respect" is breathtaking

(There are people trying to get you to eat nearby, politely decline)

5️⃣ Fourth Stop | Emerald Corridor + Guanhailou

Lunch at Emerald Villa, bamboo fungus egg + bamboo fungus soup is incredibly fresh!

After lunch, walk the Emerald Corridor and climb Guanhailou to see the cable car scenery

(Didn't take the cable car because the view from the building is more comprehensive 🚡)

6️⃣ Fifth Stop | Sea in the Sea

Filming location of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"! You can row boats but we didn't try

Watching others do wire stunts is fun, only a 5-minute walk to explore

7️⃣ Sixth Stop | Xianyu Cave ✨

Highly recommended! The parking lot leads to Fairy Lake/Xianyu Cave

We chose Xianyu Cave + took the canyon cable car (30 yuan round trip)

Cliffside temple + red prayer ribbons are stunning! If you have good stamina, you can hike to Tianbao Fort

8️⃣ Seventh Stop | Longyin Temple

Climb to the top for a panoramic view of the Bamboo Sea, the grand finale scenery is worth the ticket price!

Finished by 4:30 PM, drive straight back to the West Gate and head to Lizhuang~

💡Time-saving tip: Skip the Seven-Color Waterfall (long distance + aesthetic fatigue)

Perfect for lazy travelers who want to cover the highlights in one day, family-friendly and no disappointments!
