Bifengxia Stick-to-It Bureau | 23℃ Hugging Pandas and Waterfall Showers

Known as the "Tears of Nüwa" in the Sichuan West summer retreat scene, Bifengxia’s summer is a symphony of chilled watermelon and the roars of wild beasts. This guide will help you unlock secret spots in the mist and explore this underrated treasure from three perspectives.

1. God’s Eye View · Core Canyon Exploration Rules
① Waterfall Mystery Box Hiking Trail
The 5.5 km ecological trail hides random surprises with ten waterfalls and a thousand pools. Enjoy the 360° water curtain cave view at Qinglong Pool (wide-angle upward shot spot is on the third step mossy stone), and the 1026-layer rock texture of the Thousand-Layer Rock Waterfall (rainbows appear when sunlight penetrates at 3 PM). Every corner is a visual blast.
② Cloud Portal Experience
The 128-meter Qingyun Ladder is not just a means of transport—keep your eyes on the right glass side during the elevator ascent. The moment it pierces through clouds and mist in 3 seconds is perfect for capturing shots of the "floating forest" (burst mode recommended).

2. Zoologist’s View · Exclusive Intimate Schedule
🐼 Panda Kindergarten Special Class
9:00-10:30 is the cubs’ "panda flop" morning exercise time. The caretakers guide pandas to climb trees (female star "Xiang Xiang" loves the third fir tree in the west zone). Bring apple slices to apply for a 5-minute pooper scooper role (registration required in advance at the visitor center).
🦁 Wild Beast Safari Experience
Choose the right-side window seat! African lions prefer to ambush the feeding car from the right side, while black bears perform "window wiping" on the left. Secret tip: The noon 12 PM feeding car unlocks a hidden show—the white tiger diving hunt.

3. Wild Child’s View · Chilled Summer Trilogy
💦 Bailong Pool Water Battle Base
Families with kids head straight to the shallow giant rock area. Instead of bringing water guns, use local materials—bamboo tube water cannons (sold by an old man at the park entrance) + pebble dams—to play out Bear Grylls-style wilderness skills.
🌌 Milky Way Shelter Camping
The bamboo forest campsite behind the Cute Oriental Hotel offers three hidden perks: 10 PM firefly trail, 2 AM meteor shower viewing platform (download Star Walk 2 to check the Milky Way’s path in advance), and 6 AM cloud sea breakfast cart.
🍉 Waterfall Ice Drink Station
Spread a waterproof picnic mat at the confluence of Yuanyang Waterfalls. Enjoy mountain spring water-chilled watermelon (buy freshly picked watermelon from the grandma wearing a straw hat) + cold-brew Mengding Huangya tea (tea cans sold at Yanu Garden). The mist naturally adds a soft light filter to your food.

📍 Hardcore Player’s Memo
✅ Transport Hit: Panda-themed direct bus from Chengdu Chunxi Road (bus head has giant panda plush), 2.5 hours direct to the scenic area
✅ Accommodation Mysticism: Room 308 at Cute Oriental Hotel faces the panda bamboo-eating viewing platform, book 30 days in advance
✅ Photo Hack: Wear fluorescent socks and shoot reflections at Nüwa Pool for Avatar-like Tree of Life vibes
✅ Pitfall Warning: Canyon fog is common 11:00-14:00 in rainy season; wear bright-colored rain jackets for portraits; panda base has keeper stand-up show 14:00-15:30
🎒 Special Forces Gear List
