Red Canyon Plank Road Guantong Bridge

99% of people in Chengdu don’t know about the free parent-child hiking and water-playing treasure land of Tai. Every time I go into the mountains, it cures all my unhappiness. This place is really niche and free.
Today, I recommend a full shade, very comfortable
Summer hiking and water play routes.
Recommended location: Shifang Red Canyon Plank Road
Tour highlights:
√ Summer escape: Located in the mountainous area of ​​Shifang, the air is really great, and the temperature is around 25 degrees even in summer.
√ Play in water: It is very hydrophilic, with cool mountain springs and streams along the way. There are also many farmhouses where you can stop and play.
√ Hiking: The entire hiking route is paved with stone paths and wooden plank roads, which is very suitable for families. And it provides shade throughout, which is perfect for summer.
This is a forest plank road with a one-way length of 6km. There is a connecting road at the entrance of each section. I divided it into three routes according to the difficulty. You can choose a suitable route according to your ability. Hiking route selection: Easy mode:
One way 2.5km, navigation: Farmhouse by the ditch
The hiking entrance is just past the wooden pavilion. This section is like a secret forest, with towering trees providing shade on both sides. There are also cascading springs, which make hiking extremely refreshing. There are also two colorful suspension bridges where children run happily. If you get tired of walking, you can play in the river valley, have a barbecue and have a water fight with friends.
Moderate difficulty mode: 4km one way, navigation: Shifang Jinzhulin Farmhouse
This section is steeper and more dangerous, so those who like adventure should not miss it. Next to the plank road, look down and enjoy the view of the mountains, rocks and flowing water. Look up and see the towering cliffs. This section has relatively open green river water.
Long distance hiking mode:
One way: 6km, navigation: Hongxia Gorge Plank Road Guantong Bridge (entrance)
Entering from the entrance of the plank road, you will see towering ancient trees and dense forests in the valleys on both sides. Here you can climb up and look far into the distance to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
!Tips: There are farmhouses where you can park at all navigation starting points. The mileage is one-way. After returning to the parking point, you can return along the same route, or walk to the end of the plank road and return from the highway.
