7. Can you visit Qingcheng Mountain and Dujiangyan in one day from Chengdu City?

The last attraction of our 2024 October tour in western Sichuan needs to be chosen by ourselves.

At that time, we had already swam Songpinggou Bipenggou and Shuangqiaogou and returned to Chengdu with a day of free time.

Where to go to Chengdu on this day?

Ah Li has been to Chengdu several times, and he has visited almost everything in the city. During the Gannan Aba tour in September, we also had a day of free time in Chengdu, and Ah Li and his group members went to the Sanxingdui Museum in Guanghan: take the high-speed rail from Chengdu East Railway Station to Guanghan Station for 18 minutes in the morning, take the bus to Sanxingdui Museum after leaving the train station, and return to Chengdu in the afternoon. It's fast and cheap to go this way, and you can see enough Sanxingdui Museum in one day.

In fact, every time he comes to Chengdu, Ah Li has a wish: to spend a day visiting Qingcheng Mountain and Dujiangyan, because the two sentences "worship the water Dujiangyan and ask about Qingcheng Mountain" are too tempting. Unfortunately, Dujiangyan and Qingcheng Mountain are far away from Chengdu and are not directly accessible by subway. If you take a bus, it will take several hours on the road, and a day will basically be spent on the road, so Ah Li's wish has not been fulfilled before.

This time, in the 2024 October tour of western Sichuan, can Ah Li fulfill this wish?

Ah Li thought, can you take the bus, what if you take the train? Just like Ah Li went to the Sanxingdui Museum in Guanghan in September, can he take the train and visit Qingcheng Mountain and Dujiangyan in one day?

Ah Li quickly clicked on the railway 12306 on his mobile phone, checked the train from Chengdu to Qingcheng Mountain and Dujiangyan, and found that there were really trains directly to these two places: from Chengdu Xipu Station to Qingcheng Mountain, the time was forty minutes, and the fare was ten yuan; From Dujiangyan to Xipu Station, the time is 20 minutes, and the fare is 10 yuan. There is a bus No. 101 connecting Qingcheng Mountain Scenic Area and Dujiangyan Scenic Area.

Theoretically, from Chengdu City, you can visit Qingcheng Mountain and Dujiangyan in one day.

Whether the theory is correct needs to be tested by practice.

Ah Li then decided that the last stop of the 2024 Western Sichuan October tour was Dujiangyan and Qingcheng Mountain in Chengdu - to test whether the theory is correct with practice.

Before leaving, Ah Li bought a ticket from Xipu to Qingchengshan at 7 o'clock in the morning and a ticket from Dujiangyan to Xipu at 6 o'clock in the afternoon.

At six o'clock that morning, Ah Li and a group member set off from the hotel and took the subway to Xipu Station. After waiting for a while, I got on the train and arrived at Qingchengshan High-speed Railway Station at eight o'clock. Then we waited for Dujiangyan Bus No. 101, the fare was 2 yuan, and we took three stops to Qingcheng Mountain Scenic Area. The group members hiked the mountain, while Ah Li took the ropeway up the mountain.

Qingcheng Mountain is truly one of the four famous mountains of our country's four major churches, with lush and green trees and undulating peaks. After leaving the ropeway station, Ah Li continued to climb, passing Ciyun Pavilion, Tianyi Pavilion, Shangqing Palace, etc., and saw that it was almost eleven o'clock, thinking that he had to go to Dujiangyan, so he decided to go down the mountain. The trail in the Qingcheng mountains and forests is paved with red sandstone, like a red ladder in the verdant forest, straight down. Although it is steep, the descent is fast.

At twelve o'clock, Ah Li came to the bus station of Qingcheng Mountain Scenic Area. Soon, bus No. 101 came, and Ah Li got on the bus smoothly. I arrived at Dujiangyan Scenic Area at one o'clock.

Dujiangyan was built by Li Bing, the governor of Shu County in the Qin state more than 2,000 years ago, and is the only grand water conservancy project in the world that has been around for a long time and is characterized by damless water diversion. Ah Li followed the flow of people, visited Fulong Temple, Baopingkou, Anlan Suo Bridge, etc., and walked all the way to the fish mouth at the forefront of Dujiangyan.

After shopping, it was half past three in the afternoon. Take the special train to Dujiangyan high-speed rail station, just four o'clock. Ah Li then changed the ticket from six o'clock in the afternoon to more than four o'clock. Before five o'clock, I returned to Chengdu Xipu Station.

After visiting Qingcheng Mountain and Dujiangyan in one day, Ah Li easily realized it. Ah Li has also proved with practice that starting from Chengdu, you can swim Qingcheng Mountain and Dujiangyan in one day - although it is a bit of a walk.

Friends who want to go to Qingcheng Mountain and Dujiangyan may wish to give it a try!

Ah Li's 2024 October tour to western Sichuan has come to a successful end!

Looking forward to the next outing!
