Stop only going to Qianshan! The back mountain of Qingcheng Mountain is 100 times more comfortable than an air-conditioned room

Personally tested to be 100 times more comfortable than an air-conditioned room! A natural oxygen bar at 24℃ + babbling streams, just a few steps to shade, and even the breeze is cool~ I've compiled a super complete guide, save it and go straight there!
🚗 How to get there?
▪️ From Chengdu: Take the high-speed train to "Qingchengshan Station," then taxi 20 minutes to the back mountain gate (about 30 yuan), or take bus No. 102 (5 yuan)
▪️ Self-driving: Navigate directly to "Qingchengshan Back Mountain Parking Lot," 10 yuan/day, park and walk 5 minutes to the ticket office
⚠️ Back mountain ticket is 20 yuan! Much cheaper than the front mountain, and students get half price~
🌟 Must-play highlights, even lazy people can have fun
Play in the water! Step in the water! Touch the fish!
Right at the entrance of the mountain gate, "Wulonggou" has very shallow streams; stepping in barefoot feels like stepping into an ice cellar❄️ Bring a small net, kids can play all afternoon~ Further inside near "Youyicun" there is a deep pool, suitable for shallow swimming with a swimsuit (remember to wear non-slip shoes!)
Lie down and enjoy the mountain view
Don’t want to hike? Take the cable car to "Baiyun Cableway Upper Station," then walk 10 minutes to "Wangyun Pavilion," overlooking a whole green bamboo forest + waterfall, enjoy a bowl of ice jelly in the breeze, so refreshing you won’t want to leave🍧
Overnight stay in the mountain is even better
Stay at a farmhouse in "Youyicun," about 80+ yuan per person including three meals! Wake up to birdsong in the morning, open the window to see clouds and mist around the mountains, wear a light jacket in the morning and evening (don’t doubt it, it really gets cold~)
📸 Recommended photo spots
✔️ By the Wulonggou stream: crouch low to shoot the stream + bamboo reflections, sunlight filtering through leaves is amazing
✔️ Entrance of Taian Ancient Town: old stone slab road + red lanterns, wear Hanfu for a full atmospheric vibe
✔️ Feiquangou Waterfall: stand on the viewing platform for a panoramic shot, more spectacular with heavy water flow on rainy days (remember to bring an umbrella!)
🧳 Bring these items to double your experience
▫️ Creek shoes/sandals (must bring! Otherwise stepping on stones will hurt)
▫️ Change of clothes (playing in water gets you wet easily)
▫️ Mosquito repellent (lots of mosquitoes in the forest)
▫️ Small fan (there are occasional sunny spots, but it’s 10℃+ cooler than the city)
Summer in the back mountain is so comfortable you want to take a deep breath while walking~ Stop staying home with the air conditioner!
