The friend and his wife invited each other to stay for three days in Muchuan County---- the hometown of bamboo in Sichuan, 240 kilometers away from Chengdu, and received warm hospitality from the friend's woman's parents. The small county is not large, only 260,000 people, but the scenery is very beautiful, the mountains account for 97%, the climate is warm and pleasant, and it is rare to meet good weather, enjoy the joy of the beautiful Muchuan. Most people don't know Muchuan, I also came here for the first time, and after three days, I felt very good. There are not many people in Muchuan, although there are more people in the city, but there are not many cars, the noise is very low, the traffic lights at some intersections are not turned on, people and vehicles go their own way, and they are humble to each other, and the overall look is very peaceful. There are many shops in the small town, restaurants one after another, the style street and the pedestrian street are very long, and the goods are extremely rich, there are in big cities, you can buy them here, and the food is original. I like to travel, there are many attractions here, there are many rivers in small towns, the air is fresh and humid, suitable for flower planting, and it is close to the mountains, the forest is dense, the parks are one after another, and the famous Muchuan bamboo sea, etc., the scenery is excellent. Even roaming in the forest by the river, or climbing up the steps along the shallow mountains, under the blue sky and white clouds, listening to the chirping of birds, and seeing the green rippling in front of the eyes, giving people a feeling of being lost for a long time, as if returning to childhood. In short, Muchuan is a small county, big scenery, it's really good here!
Passing through Qianwei County, take a break to visit the World Jasmine Museum
Muchuan is 100 kilometers south of Leshan and is under the jurisdiction of Leshan. The journey was long, and when I arrived at the county seat of Qianwei between Leshan and Muchuan, it happened that my friend's man's hometown was there, and he drove his parents and me from Chengdu, and got off here to rest for a while, they were all Qianwei people, so before and after satisfying our hunger, we visited the Minjiang River together and visited the World Jasmine Museum.

The car stopped in front of the arch gate in Qianwei County, which is a newly built antique building next to the Min River.

Binjiang Road has been beautifully built

There is an ancient wharf called Yanguan here, which is being repaired.

The old couple took a photo next to the wall with feelings of love for their hometown.

On the cultural wall on the wharf, there is a poem by Lu You of the Song Dynasty "Boat Over Yujin": "The glass river sends the remnants of spring, and the drums urge the Yujin." The orioles and flowers in the Shu Garden have just awakened from my dreams, and the scenery and moon of Bashan are once again related to me. I have long forgotten the headscarf of the court, and I only think of the dust of the city with my short sword. Don't rely on you to tolerate this old man, how can you spit out the car in the west?"According to the Internet, his words express the patriotic enthusiasm for restoring national reunification, pour out the grief and anger of unrequited ambitions, and expose and criticize the humiliating surrender of the upper ruling group of the Southern Song Dynasty.

From the introduction, it is known that the name of Qianwei has existed for more than 1,400 years, so there are many historical precipitations and poetic allusions.

After lunch, go to visit the World Jasmine Expo Park in Cheonggye Town. Qianwei County is one of our country's traditional ancient tea areas, and jasmine tea has been cultivated for more than 300 years. The planting area ranks first in southwest China and second in China, and has successively won the titles of "Hometown of Jasmine in China" and "Jasmine Tea Capital in China". Under the blue sky and white clouds, we came to the museum.

This is a precious two-color jasmine, in addition to several varieties such as sclerophyllum jasmine and golden double-petal jasmine.
Arrive in Muchuan and visit the beautiful city scenery for the first
time

My friend's house is upstairs in the community, and my friend's parents welcome us warmly. The parents of both friends were very happy to meet because it was the first time they met here.

Pushing open the window, the beautiful scenery of Muchuan appeared in front of me, which immediately caught my eye. This is the east side of the city.

To the south of the city, there is a three-way bridge that brings together three rivers downstairs. The incoming water from the two rivers south and west of the Santong Bridge converge here and flow towards the east of us. At the end of the river in the south, turn right and there is a bustling commercial pedestrian street.

There is a stadium not far to the west, behind the building in the distance, there are mountains, there is a river in front of the mountain, I heard that there is a "Bishui Danxia" park there, you can go to see it in your spare time. From these pictures outside the window, you can see the gentle area of Muchuan County in the middle of the hillside.

Enjoy a sumptuous dinner at a friend's house, where small fish and shrimp are all original foods that have just been salvaged from the nearby river today.

After dinner, go to the night market, and soon downstairs is Muyuan Road leading to Muyuan Square, the main road of the county seat.

Watching the clouds reflecting the sky at sunset is rare to see in Chengdu, but it is accustomed here, indicating that the ecological environment here is particularly good.

This is where I saw the river leading to the south just now, and there are rivers everywhere in Muchuan City.

A place where people dance and dance

The river on the right side of the road (), crossing the river is the low hill of "Bishui Danxia" park.

Muyuan Square is the square in front of the government service center.

The commercial pedestrian street on the left side of the main road is lined with cart lanes and electric lanes. When I was walking around the pedestrian street, I found that the shops were still brightly lit at eight or nine o'clock in the evening, no less than the bustling night market in Chengdu.
West China First Drift and Cherry Blossom Park

The next morning, the old man led us to the Santong Bridge platform

My friend took us to Longmen Grand Canyon to raft first, which is known as the first drifting place in West China.

This is the end of the lazy river, the source goes up the mountain trail, 2.5 km above.

The famous phrase here is "Men laugh all the way, women scream all the way", the total length of the rafting is 9.6 kilometers, and the overall drop is 198 meters.

upstream incoming water

The rafting ends here. Due to the dry season, the amount of water is not large, and it is expected to open in the afternoon today, with a pool at the source, and the upstream water is full of water and then open to tourists for official rafting.

We go up to the source

Next to the "bullish" stone is a pool of water

There are usually two small culverts to release water in, most of which are in the pool, and the left side is a rafting channel, and there is also a small water.

It only opened in the afternoon, and we finished our visit and went to the cherry blossom park.

Enter through the trail full of yellow flowers

The cherry blossom season is between February and April, and now that the season has passed, just look at the scenery.

Cherry Blossom Pavilion

There is a path opposite it leads to "Qunfang Pavilion", along which are different varieties of cherry blossoms, and there is a picture next to it.

I couldn't see the cherry blossoms, so I took a picture of the blue sky and white clouds in the sky.

General introduction
to Muchuan Bamboo Sea and Muchuan Night View
Muchuan Bamboo Sea is 20 kilometers away from Muchuan County, and there are more than 30 varieties of bamboo such as cizhu in the undulating mountains and river valleys, which are endless all over the mountains, hence the name of the bamboo sea. Muchuan Bamboo Sea, the land belongs to the Danxia landform. The scenic spot is located in Muyuanchuan Road, an important branch of the Southern Silk Road, with profound historical and cultural heritage. There was Sanyan Village, the first fortress of Zhuge Liang's southern expedition during the Three Kingdoms, and a military stronghold was built during the Southern Song Dynasty, and it was a centralized production area of soil paper in the middle of the Qing Dynasty.

This is the southern gate of Muchuan Bamboo Sea, which is the entrance gate.

Especially appreciate the clouds in the sky

There are many attractions in the bamboo sea, and today we will focus on visiting the marked core attractions.

Come to the first core attraction "Xiaodong Feihong" and enter the depths of the bamboo forest.

The left side of the trail is next to the brown boulders of the Danxia landform, and the right side is next to the pool.

Catch a flying rainbow from a distance

Take a photo and see the waterfall falling onto a turtle-back-shaped boulder.

There is an article that the ditch here is quiet and deep, beautiful and colorful, and overseas people unanimously evaluate that compared with the famous mountain Qingcheng in Sichuan, there is nothing better than it, but there is a lack of cultural landscape and celebrity titles, so there is a regret of "raising in the deep boudoir and not knowing". Such a good landscape, I will take you around with my camera, and then go down to the bottom of the valley to see it thoroughly.

The turtle's back boulder showers under the waterfall all year round, and it raises its head tenaciously.

Approach from the passage at the bottom of the cliff.

Opposite is a waterfall viewing platform

The coolness here is overwhelming, looking up at the top of the head, between the cliffs surrounded by three sides, a sky is exposed, the blue sky and white clouds, and the sun is shining, which makes people feel like they are in a desperate place.

Concentric circles are painted on the waterhole, or on the platform on the left, or on the brown land on the right, and a fisherman stands on a boulder in the middle, where he can enjoy the joy of family to the fullest.

The double-decker plank road under the cliff allows you to experience its different scenery from any angle.

is almost on the platform

is also the best location for a close-up view

The waist of the three-sided stone wall is sunken into an inner ring stone wall corridor, called "Xiao Dongzi". A white water ribbon volleyed from the cliff at the top of the cave, directly hitting the center of the turtle stone of Bitan at the bottom of the cave, and the waterfall rose, forming the famous "Xiaodong Flying Rainbow".

Standing here is splashed with water droplets, and you can also see the panoramic view with the waterfall.

Water comes from the blue sky and white clouds, do you think of the Taibai poem "The water flows straight down three thousand feet, and it is suspected that the Milky Way falls for nine days".

The angler is still so leisurely

Go down to "Guanhong Pavilion"

Rainbow Pavilion

Further down, you can see the twin waterfalls.

to the bottom. The above set of shots allows you to see the panoramic and dynamic enjoyment of "Xiaodong Feihong", which I think is the most exciting attraction of Muchuan Bamboo Sea. Muchuan's "Xiaodong Flying Rainbow" has been selected as "the most beautiful characteristic scenic spot in Sichuan".

On the edge of the rock house, a clear spring leaches out, which is placed in a tank, and tourists drink it a lot, and the mountain people call it "holy water", which is said to cure all diseases. Take a sip gently, refreshing. The old gentleman took two sips of the spring water, and we went out for lunch.

Drive to the edge of Danxia Cliff for lunch. There are also water droplets falling from the cliffs on the road.

Bamboo shoots and wild vegetables, the taste is excellent.

Come to the second attraction "Shuiyue Wind Cave"

Enter from the cave entrance, light up the cave with your mobile phone, and walk 370 meters out of the other cave entrance, which is said to be the era of agricultural Dazhai, and the local people dug holes to divert water.

Return to go down the mountain

Go down the mountain to visit the Muchuan seahorse, with a head like a horse, horns like a dragon, a neck like a snake, a body like a lion, claws like a tiger, and its four feet tied to the bolted horse pillar, releasing the power of ancient artifacts to reach the sky and the sea. The sculpture symbolizes peace, auspiciousness and beauty.

Muchuan Bamboo Sea exits the north gate and ends today's trip to Muchuan Bamboo Sea.

Go out at night to the gate on the right side of the main road you saw the day before shopping, and cross the river from above.

Walk by the water

Climb a few steps up the mountain to see the river view, this is the place of "clear water Danxia", I plan to come back tomorrow morning for a walk up the mountain and walk around it.

Get up early in the morning and go to the river alone. This is the sluice gate mentioned earlier, and after passing this sluice called "Muyuan Corridor" is the "Bishui Danxia" park.

There are even earlier ones fishing here

The lively square I saw the first night became a place to practice martial arts

The scent from the food stalls on the street made me can't wait to go back for breakfast, so I bought a special pancake to taste, and it tasted very good.

I walked around the sports center and saw the buildings we lived in.
Wetland Park and Taoyuan Mountain Residence

After breakfast, we went to Wetland Park and Taoyuan Mountain Residence together. The wetland park is not small, and the flowers are full of flowers.

Muchuan was originally a poor county, but under the leadership of the party, it has now been lifted out of poverty.

The wetland park has a national intangible cultural heritage protection project, that is, the weaving technique of "Muchuan grass dragon".

The two floors are full of exhibits, all of which are household and production supplies of ordinary people in the past, and now they use sculptures to restore all aspects of the scenes of that era. In addition to the national intangible cultural heritage, it has also won many awards such as the World Gillis Record, and has participated in various major international and domestic activities more than 30 times, becoming a well-known cultural business card at home and abroad.

Even after leaving the expo, we can see the scenes of our childhood or childhood, is this bare-bellied child ready to dive?

Listen to my dad tell stories when I was a child
Muchuan for three days, enjoying the authentic life of a small county, it really feels like returning to the era of childhood or childhood, carefree and innocent, although the time is very short, I see that Muchuan County under the leadership of the party and the government quickly got out of poverty from the original poor county. Looking at the satisfied expressions on people's faces, I was also moved and relieved.Now the entire county of Muchuan is thriving, and in Muchuan, there is no worse feeling in life than Chengdu, which is the deepest feeling of my three-day trip. It's really reluctant to leave Muchuan, my friend's parents advised me to wish me a few more days, thank you so much, I will come again when I have time in the future. I wish Muchuan County faster and better development, and I wish everyone in Muchuan a happy and happy life.
