Feeling too hot in Chengdu and want to escape? Here’s a hidden gem perfect for cooling off, hiking, and playing in the water — very few people go there right now, so it’s super relaxing to enjoy!
Along the way, you’ll see waterfalls of all sizes cascading down cliffs, with mist floating around. Standing under the waterfall instantly cools you down. Suspension bridges, glass walkways, ancient mountain temples... every spot is worth stopping to explore.
🌿 Practical Tips
- Remember to bring slippers and water play gear. There are shallow streams along the way for wading and a special area for small boat paddling, making it super enjoyable to walk and play.
- Even lazy people can have fun! The scenic area offers sightseeing shuttles that stop on demand, so you can ride to all the key spots. It’s convenient for elders and kids.
🚶 Recommended Hiking Route
Entrance → Cloud Café → Feitian Waterfall → Longmen Ancient Temple → Qianchi Waterfall → Pearl Curtain Waterfall → Shigu Restaurant → Return by sightseeing shuttle
📸 Must-Visit Spots
- Feitian Waterfall: About 300 meters high, very spectacular. After getting off, cross the suspension bridge and hike up. There’s a pavilion to rest and enjoy the waterfall view.
