Buddies, you won’t believe this place!

#hiddengems Just checked off my bucket list: the magical bamboo forest from House of Flying Daggers—aka Yongchuan Chashan Bamboo Sea!
Endless waves of bamboo rolling like green oceans, tea fragrance drifting in the air… It’s giving fairyland meets wuxia movie set. Escaping the city for the weekend and breathing in pure bamboo-scented air? 100% healing!

📍Must-try highlights—so many exclusive vibes!

1. Walk into a wuxia dream—actual filming location of House of Flying Daggers
Step into Shanziwan Bamboo Forest and boom—20-meter tall bamboo towering overhead, sunbeams cutting through the leaves, mossy stone paths… Feels like you just walked into that epic fight scene! Snap a pic at the iconic “十面埋伏” gate, toss your cloak or spin an umbrella—every shot looks like a movie still. Wuxia fans, this is the moment.

2. Forest-core romance unlocked
The bamboo here is insane—graceful like dancers, tall like guards, clustered like big happy families. Stroll along the Jade Corridor, hear babbling brooks and rustling leaves, stumble across an ancient temple in the woods… bell rings, heart calms. Golden Basin Lake reflects the green hills like a painting—seriously, it’s giving ink-wash masterpiece.

3. Hike to the top of Bodao Ridge—get wrecked by the view
At 1,025m, it’s the highest peak in Western Chongqing! The ridge is sharp and dramatic (not for the faint-hearted!), but the reward? A sweeping panorama of bamboo seas flowing across the mountains like green waves in a fantasy world. Add mist and clouds? Straight-up dreamscape.

🌿Why you need to come here:
It’s not just a bamboo forest—it’s full-on forest therapy. Soft leafy trails, air packed with negative ions (good for the soul!), bamboo leaves whispering in the wind… Stress? Gone. No wonder Zhuge Liang said “quietude cultivates the mind”—he was so real for that.
