🌿 A Hidden Gem in Dujiangyan! I Stumbled Upon a Forest Straight Out of "Princess Mononoke"!
Chunyadao Forest Camp
Nature's Air-Conditioned Haven! A Magical Summer Retreat ⛺️
📍Address: Juqing Road, Qingchengshan Town, Dujiangyan City (Navigate to "Chunyadao" for direct access)
🅿️Parking: Free parking spots + EV charging stations at the entrance
1️⃣ Misty Forest Trail
Step into a Studio Ghibli world! Moss-covered boardwalks intertwined with ancient vines and trees—every shot is a forest fantasy.
📸Pro Tip: Most enchanting before 11 AM when the mist lingers.
2️⃣ Treehouse Café
Sip iced Americano in a stilted treehouse with floor-to-ceiling windows facing bamboo groves and streams.
Must-try: Qingchengshan cold-brew tea (paired with bamboo-tube ice cream).
🌲 Unique Experiences:
- Stream trekking & water play (bring spare clothes)
- Firefly watching at night (July-August only)
- Forest craft workshops (weekly Saturday bamboo-weaving classes)
🍽️ Nearby Eats:
Zhang Laozao: 8-min drive, century-old brown sugar glutinous rice cakes.
You Rabbit Head: Spicy/five-spiced rabbit heads with icy jelly—unbeatable combo!
⚠️ Notes:
- Bug spray is a MUST!
- Slippery paths after rain
- Arrive before 10 AM on weekends
