2025 Dujiangyan Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in June)

Just got back from Dujiangyan with my kid! Here’s a carefully curated leg-saving itinerary Tested and approved for both adults and kids to have a blast. Save this now‼️ - 🚗【Transportation Options】 Take my advice! Definitely hire a car! The attractions are scattered and walking everywhere is exhausting. A driver can pick you up directly from your hotel, super convenient. (More cost-effective compared to the hassle of taxis + high-speed trains) - 🐼【Perfectly Planned Itinerary】 Panda Valley → Yangtianwo Square → Guan County Ancient Town → Dujiangyan Scenic Area → Nanqiao Night View - 📝【Must-Read Tips】 1️⃣ Visit Panda Valley early! The pandas nap in the afternoon. 2️⃣ Enter Dujiangyan Scenic Area via the "Qinyan Tower Entrance." 3️⃣ Skip the crowds at Nanqiao for the blue lights! Walk 100 meters west to "Tianfu Yuan Langqiao" for fewer people and bluer lights. 4️⃣ Must-try food in Guan County Ancient Town: Wenge Green Onion Rolls + Zhao Mai Noodles Sweet Water Noodles - 🍜【Hidden Food Map】 Yangliu River Street: ✔️ Yiguo Kitchen (Freshly squeezed juice, cheap and large cups) ✔️ Xin Fan Beef Tofu Pudding (Spicy and flavorful) Wugui Bridge Street: ✔️ Ye Grandma Soy Milk Bun (Intangible cultural heritage snack) ✔️ Zhong Duck (Sweet-skinned duck is amazing) - 📸【Secret Photo Spots】 🔸 Yangtianwo Square: Take photos from the escalator or low-angle shots looking up. 🔸 Anlan Suspension Bridge: Side shots from the stone steps at the bridgehead to avoid crowds. 🔸 Blue Lights: Adjust your phone’s color temperature to 3000K for a bluer effect. - Dujiangyan is definitely worth visiting multiple times. Next time, I’m planning to explore Mount Qingcheng!

🌿 Just 1.5 hours west of Chengdu, stepping into the set of "Kyoto Monogatari" Chengdu's sultry summer always makes one yearn for escape. Driving through Dujiangyan's lush forest paths and turning onto a bluestone trail, the bamboo fences and noren of "Wuye Secret Garden" sway in the twilight. The moment you push open the door, a deer scare knocks against stone, moss gardens glow faintly, as if stepping into a century-old machiya by the Kamo River. Wabi-sabi aesthetics, karesansui (dry landscape), karakami lanterns, handmade bamboo blinds... every detail whispers: "Here, time should be measured in the fragrance of tea." 🎋 Staying in a Japanese-style courtyard, counting stars by the stream I stayed in the "Autumn Garden" private hot spring suite – spacious and serene. Waking to birdsong outside paper windows at dawn, but most magical were the evening soaks in the private onsen, gazing at emerald greenery as wind chimes tinkled, momentarily unsure whether I was in Arashiyama or Qingcheng Mountain. No boredom in this secret garden – a mountain retreat guide: - Meditation & calligraphy | Where ink aroma blends with agarwood - Wuye hiking trails | Expansive grounds with courtyards and wild ducks 📍 Practical tips: Address | Navigate to "Wuye Secret Garden Homestay" (free parking provided) Bring an extra light jacket – evenings get cool Visit the 1km-nearby Banruo Temple for exploration "True Kyoto may not lie in coordinates, but in state of mind." For summer weekends, why not surrender your soul to mountain breezes, tea ceremonies, and a nostalgic Kyoto dream?

#oktoberfest #旅行酷体验 #awesomepic #旅行灵感 Pandy Valley was well worth the extra travel time from Chengdu. It was a far more pleasant and compact experience than the Giant Panda research base in Chengdu. Recommended to visit as early as possible to avoid crowds and our Panda friends are more active in the morning. We saw the Giant Panda's feeding which they do very close to opening time so make sure you are through the gates as it opens. This facility was tranquil, clean and the park is just nice in terms of size which is suitable for senior citizen not too tiring to walk around. Address: Baima Village, Yutang Town, Dujiangyan City, Chengdu. Opening hours: 8 am to 5pm #旅行灵感 #thingstodo #familytravel #travel #naturalwonders #china

#TravelChina When talking about Dujiangyan, the first image that comes to mind is the ancient bridge and beautiful blue water. This bridge is considered the most famous construction in the city, world-famous. It is one of the first irrigation systems in the world, built 2,200 years ago to solve the problem of flooding. We came to visit this place in the evening-night because we could see the ancient bridge both during the day and at night. In fact, at night it is the highlight because they will turn on the blue lights, making the already blue water even more beautiful. This is a 5A level tourist attraction in China (the highest), so it guarantees its beauty, antiquity, and excellent management. Transportation: High-speed train from Chengdu Xipu Station to Liduigongyuan Dujiangyan, takes 25 minutes. You can walk from the station. Returning to Chengdu: If you wait to see the lights turn on in the early evening, you have to return around 9 pm, which is the last round. You have to book a ticket in advance or it will definitely be full. #Dujiangyan #ChengduTravel #ChengduCity #ChengduAttractions #Chengdu

#TravelChina We went to walk in the ancient city of Guanxian and accidentally came across the ancient city wall there. It is a very beautiful photo spot (I have seen people taking photos there, but I happened to walk by it). There were many photographers and tourists dressed in Chinese costumes taking photos at this spot. In Amap, search for Dujiangyan scenic area- the ming dynasty wall. It is an old city wall near the famous ancient bridge, Nanqiao Bridge. But if you walk in from the entrance of Guanxian ancient city, you will almost reach the end. This spot is very hidden. There is only a small sign. You have to walk up a small staircase to find it. Behind the wall, you can walk through to the waterfront, which has a very nice atmosphere. Tourists do not often come to this area. ** There are beautiful accommodations in this area. I do not know if foreigners can stay here. If anyone is interested and has a plan to stay at Dujiangyan, try to find more information. ** Location: In the ancient city of Guanxian, near Nanqiao Bridge, you can search in Amap. #Beautiful places to visit in China #Chengdu attractions #dujiangyan #Chengdu

📍Excellent location and super convenient to get around The hotel is in an excellent location, very close to the Dujiangyan Scenic Area, within walking distance, making it easy to start my cultural exploration trip. There are many restaurants and shops around, making it very convenient to eat and shop. It is simply a one-stop shop for eating, drinking, and playing. 🏨Elegant environment with a great atmosphere Walking into the hotel is like stepping into a tranquil paradise. The lobby is spacious and bright, and the decoration style combines modern and traditional elements. The exquisite ornaments and soft lighting complement each other, making people relax instantly. The room is warm and comfortable, and the bedding is soft, making you want to lie down and never get up. The view from the window is also very pleasant, allowing me to fully enjoy the tranquility of nature. 💆‍♀️The hot springs are great and very enjoyable As a hot spring hotel, the hot springs here are of course the main attraction! There are several outdoor hot spring pools with different characteristics, such as rose pools and mugwort pools, each with its own benefits. Soaking in the steaming hot spring, looking at the surrounding green mountains and trees, the fatigue of the day disappears. Moreover, the hot spring water is clear and the staff checks it regularly, so you can rest assured about hygiene. 🛎Attentive service and an amazing experience The hotel's service also impressed me. The front desk staff is warm and professional. Check-in is fast, and they also carefully introduce the surrounding attractions. Room service is responsive and always available. The breakfast is varied, with both Chinese and Western options, and the taste is also very good.

Two days of fresh air in Qingcheng Mountain ⛰️ Hot springs ♨️ Yoga practice with my mat 🧘‍♀️ Waking up to sunshine streaming through the window. I visited the cafe I'd been wanting to try. The forest cafe, surrounded by green trees and wooden houses, was a delightful surprise. How can I not fall in love with this spring mountain getaway? It's the perfect escape from work. I've been so busy lately that I desperately needed some fresh air. Even on a cloudy day, a hike in the spring mountains with friends is a great way to de-stress. ⛰️ Dujiangyan Shangyuan Ancient Path Navigate to Dujiangyan Two Rivers Impression. Park and walk straight ahead; the trailhead is on your right. It's an 8 km easy hike with beautiful scenery, perfect for a relaxing climb and absorbing the natural aura! 🛖 Qingcheng Mountain Wild Island Homestay The wooden houses are very comfortable and come with private hot springs. There are only 4–5 houses. Many people come just for coffee in the afternoon, which can affect the experience for overnight guests. The homestay doesn't currently offer meals or other activities.

No Need to Go Abroad This is Wenhua Village in Dujiangyan Cherry blossoms 🌸 and rapeseed flowers together are simply the best 🌸Flower Viewing Period Pink cherry blossoms: Early to mid-March White cherry blossoms: Late March Photo Tips 1️⃣ Clothing suggestions: Pink, creamy yellow, baby blue, or other dopamine-colored clothing is recommended for a gentle and photogenic look! A white dress is also a versatile option. 2️⃣ There are relatively fewer people in the afternoon. Try to choose a sunny day ☀️ for shooting, as it's easier to get good shots. 3️⃣ Flowers are not easy to cultivate, so be sure to protect them. There are many gaps where you can walk in to take pictures. Do not pick flowers or trample on them. . 📍Location Navigate to Wenhua Village, Dujiangyan Walk to the cherry blossom 🌸 area to see the flowers

After spending a day here, I really didn't want to go back to Chengdu! I dragged my partner to the mountains for the weekend, and after just one night, neither of us wanted to leave. We didn't want to go back to the city and be workhorses again.🐮 The moment I stepped into Suxian Valley, it was like stepping into a wonderland forgotten by time. Surrounded by green mountains, the rolling hills resemble a meticulously painted ink wash landscape. Mountain mist, like a light veil, drifts among the peaks, creating a dreamlike atmosphere. The rooms are simple yet cozy! The wooden furniture exudes a faint woody fragrance, blending with the scent of nature for a truly pleasant experience. Soaking in the in-room hot spring bath and gazing out the window at the lush greenery, with the sound of birdsong filling the air, is incredibly relaxing.😌 When city life gets a little too hectic, escape to Suxian Valley for the weekend for a rendezvous with nature and rediscover your inner peace.

#How to get there First, we have to take the metro line 3 and get off at the last stop at Xipu Station. If you don't have a ticket, you have to buy a ticket first. Exit A1 and walk a short distance to the ticket booth. You can tell them where you are going and they will recommend the fastest round (to Dujianyan, you have to get off at Liduigongyuan Station). ** If you have a ticket, you can follow the transfer signs to the high-speed rail waiting gate. ** Once you get your ticket, go wait in the station. There is a bag check before entering the station. Look at the sign to see which door your train needs to wait at. The door opens 10 minutes before the train arrives and closes 2 minutes before departure. When the door opens, you have to go through the red channel to scan your passport. When you get on the platform, there will be a screen at the train entrance showing which car this door is for. Look at your ticket to see which car and seat you are in, and wait in the correct seat. There are 2 types of seats on the train: normal seats on the high-speed train, and seats facing each other with a table in the middle. The train takes about 24-29 minutes, depending on the train, to reach its destination. It is recommended to buy a return ticket when you arrive. The ticket booth is located in the station. But here you have to go through the bag scan point before you can find the ticket booth. Exit D from the station, and on the left is the selfie panda. You can walk to the dam and the ancient city. As for the panda valley, you have to call a didi. The price is about 11 yuan. #China Railway #Travel China by yourself #Travel Chengdu #dujiangyan

I just got back from Chengdu, and as I rub my full belly and empty wallet, I've finally cracked the code to enjoying this city—those who know how to have fun can stretch $100 into $300 worth of enjoyment, while those who don't might only get $50 worth of experience for their $300! 🚕 Transportation savings that add up to hot pot money Choosing between the two airports is as nuanced as picking your hot pot dipping sauce! Don't bother waiting for a taxi if you land late at night. The Tianfu Airport shuttle bus will take you directly to Chunxi Road for $1.50, saving you $18.50—enough for two hot pot meals in a local alleyway. For getting around the city, a combination of shared bikes and the subway is the best. It's a 20-minute bike ride from Taikoo Li to Kuanzhai Alley, and you might even stumble upon some tempting Tanghulu (candied fruit) stalls along the way 🚲 Attention drivers ⚠️ Parking fees at attractions can be more expensive than the entrance tickets! Parking at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain is $3 per day. It's better to take the direct shuttle bus to and from the scenic area, and you can even catch up on some sleep on the ride 💤 🌶️ A guide to avoiding overpriced food Those trendy Tiao Pi (steamed rice rolls) at Jianshe Road Snack Street cost $1.50 each? Turn into the next-door market and find a local vendor's mobile stall, and you can unlock the same deliciousness for $0.60. You can even get extra houttuynia cordata for free. For hot pot, look for established restaurants tucked away in residential areas. "Hidden Alley," a place I discovered three years ago, still maintains its budget-friendly price of $6 per person, and refills of duck blood are still free! Exclusive tip 🔑: The Zhong dumplings stall that appears at 3 p.m. in Yulin Market offers freshly made dumplings drenched in sweet and spicy red oil for $0.50 per 50 grams. The price made me wonder if the lady running the stall was doing charity work 🥟 🐼 The best and worst of attraction spending Get your money's worth by arriving at the Panda Base when it opens at 7:30 a.m.! The $5.50 entrance ticket lets you see more than 20 pandas, offering ten times the value of a zoo visit. Avoid the $3 bamboo tube milk tea at Kuanzhai Alley. Instead, head to Zhijishi Street and enjoy unlimited refills of tea at an old teahouse for $0.80. As the bamboo chairs creak, you'll feel the essence of Chengdu seep into your bones 🍵 Capture the free blue light show at Dujiangyan at night! Enjoy the evening breeze on South Bridge with a Guyan beer. The romance you'll experience for $2 is comparable to a $10 bar. Don't buy the $1.50 novelty ice cream at the scenic spot; it tastes like frozen sugar water 😅 🧳 Equipment savings that build your travel fund • Folding kettle: Save on bottled water costs at the hotel • Reusable food containers: Save $0.30 per meal on packaging fees when taking away snacks • Power bank: Renting one at the scenic spot for $0.60 per hour is painful • Waterproof shoe covers: No need to buy overpriced plastic shoe covers if it suddenly rains • Selfie stick tripod: Save $20 per hour on hiring a photographer 📝 A foolproof itinerary Day 1: Panda Base ($5.50) → Boating at People's Park ($2) → Dinner at Kuixinglou Street ($4) → Jiuyanqiao night view (free) Day 2: Qingcheng Mountain ($8 including shuttle bus) → Dujiangyan blue light show (free) → South Bridge night market ($3) Day 3: East Suburb Memory (free) → Jianshe Road snacks ($5) → 339 TV Tower night view (free) Prices in Chengdu are like a seesaw—high at tourist attractions and trendy streets, but down-to-earth joy is hidden in the alleyways and markets. I managed to keep my total expenses for this three-day, two-night trip under $80, and here's the secret: 1️⃣ Transportation savings covered two big meals 2️⃣ Found market alternatives for trendy snacks 3️⃣ Always found free spots to enjoy the night views 4️⃣ Packed the right gear to avoid last-minute expenses 5️⃣ Learned to avoid peak times (half the crowds at the Panda Base on working days)
