Mount Zhaogong in Dujiangyan|God of Wealth Temple|Your wishes will be granted, and you will be blessed with wealth

Mount Zhaogong is located in the southwest of Dujiangyan City, Chengdu, Sichuan Province, in the northwest of the Chengdu Plain, within the Yutang Town of the Qingcheng Mountain-Dujiangyan Scenic Area. The mountain is named after Marshal Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth in legend, who is said to have retired here. It is part of the 'blessed land' of Qingcheng and has the highest peak at an altitude of 2434 meters. It is also an integral part of the Qingcheng Mountain-Dujiangyan National Key Scenic Area, being the highest peak and the main peak of Qingcheng Mountain. ⭐Route Introduction 1️⃣East Route Drive directly to the 'Yueqi Mountain Camp Base' using navigation. There are many parking spaces available upon arrival, with a unified fee of 10 yuan for an afternoon, and additional charges for overnight parking. After parking, you can start climbing the mountain along the path. It takes about 40-80 minutes to reach the Zhaogong Ancestral Temple, where you can take a break and pray for blessings. This point is only a quarter of the total distance. Continue climbing at your own pace. The path becomes increasingly difficult, with higher altitudes and no scenic spots, signposts, or rest areas along the way. Just grit your teeth and keep climbing! Most of the middle section is a muddy and rocky path with ropes for assistance. The last three-quarters of the path is all muddy, so be sure to watch your step! 2️⃣West Route Drive to the 'Zhaogong Mountain West Line Parking Lot' using navigation, then start climbing. The entire route consists of wooden steps. After climbing about 600 meters, you will reach Pavilion 0 in about twenty minutes. After 1 kilometer, you will reach Pavilion 1 in about thirty minutes. Another 40-50 minutes will take you to Pavilion 2, and another 30 minutes to Pavilion 3. Finally, it takes about 20 more minutes to reach the Zhaogong Temple at the top. The entire journey takes about 3 to 3.5 hours. 🌈Recommended Spots 1️⃣Zhaogong Ancestral Temple This place is rich in wealth culture. You can burn incense, pray for blessings, and seek fortune from the God of Wealth. It is said to be very effective! There is a thousand-year-old ginkgo tree on the right side of the temple where many people hang red ribbons to pray for blessings. Inside, there is also a calligraphy experience hall and a tea house where you can copy scriptures and immerse yourself in cultural ambiance. 2️⃣Cat Temple A God of Wealth temple where you can pet cats. The kittens are super cute and friendly. There are three kittens guarding the temple gate, and they will approach you when they see people. Inside the temple, there are many different breeds of cats, all stray cats adopted by the temple monks, including tabbies, ragdolls, and Maine Coons. They are all very cute. Cat lovers should not miss this opportunity to pet the cats! 3️⃣Immortal Spring Tea House Known as the 'Fountain of Wealth,' you can enjoy the sweet and refreshing water of the Immortal Spring while brewing tea at the tea house after a tiring day. 4️⃣San Yan Valley•Half-Mountain Cabin A popular internet-famous cabin near Mount Zhaogong. Many people check in here. You can have afternoon tea, lunch, or dinner, and even camp overnight. The place is not very large, but the scenery is beautiful, especially with the ginkgo trees. The view is particularly stunning on a good weather day, making it a great spot for photos. ⚠️Notes 1. No matter how good the weather is, there is always a muddy section, so be careful to avoid slipping. 2. The mobile signal is weak, so download the map in advance. 3. On the east route, there are toilets only at the starting point, Cat Temple, and the endpoint. On the west route, there are toilets only at the starting point and the endpoint. 4. This is a relatively undeveloped wild mountain, so please do not litter. If you have time on the weekend, consider visiting Mount Zhaogong to pray to the God of Wealth for abundant wealth, make a wish under the ancient ginkgo tree, pray to the God of Wealth, pet some cats, drink tea, take photos, climb the mountain, and breathe in the fresh air. It will be an incredibly enjoyable experience!
