An ancient hiking trail in Chengdu that is more fun than Mount Qingcheng - Qionglai. White Crane Mountain

Travel: A relaxing journey from Chengdu South to Qionglai Take the high-speed train departing from Chengdu South at 9:16, and after only 45 minutes of scenic shuttle, you can arrive at the ancient Qionglai at 10:01. After exiting the station, there is a convenient bus stop on the left, seamlessly connecting you to your travel dreams. Gourmet Exploration: A Feast for Taste Buds at the Foot of Baihe Mountain - A Must-Try: "Baihe Mountain Baked Buns" located on the left side of the entrance to Baihe Mountain is a food landmark not to be missed! - Value for money star: classic toasted steamed buns are only 1 yuan, fried tofu and buckwheat cakes are 1.5 yuan and 2 yuan respectively, allowing you to enjoy the blissful taste of carbohydrates. - Taste enjoyment: The baked steamed buns are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, suitable for those on a low-sugar or sugar-free diet; the fried tofu is soaked in spicy sauce and is eaten with steamed buns, with a balanced salty and fragrant taste; and the buckwheat cakes are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a hint of sweetness, making them the perfect companion for an afternoon nap. - Zen food experience: The vegetarian meal at Helin Temple (11:30-12:30) is 10 yuan per person and is a double purification of the soul and taste buds. The small blackboard outside the temple gate lists the day's menu, with colorful dishes paired with a clear soup and a variety of staple foods, from steamed buns to rice to porridge. We arrived early and waited for the meal under the shade of the trees, enjoying a moment of coolness. We followed the traditional virtue of “not talking while eating” and washed the dishes ourselves after the meal, experiencing a simple yet profound Zen life. Hiking time: embrace of nature After a full meal, it is a good time to walk in the jungle. The paths are mostly flat with a few stairs in between. Follow the map to get around. The trees are shady, the breeze is cool on the stone roads, and the chirping of cicadas accompanies you as you take a rest. It is quiet and peaceful, as if time has stopped for you. A moment of rest: Tea time There are several small tea gardens along the way (the average consumption per person is about 10-20 yuan). Under the shade of the trees, you can enjoy tea, chat, or play chess and cards to enjoy the leisure. If you are still not satisfied, you may want to move to Qionglai Ancient Town to experience the historical charm. If you want to return by the same route, Bus No. 1 is still the best choice. It will take you directly from the Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine Station to the Pedestrian Snack Street, and then easily return to the high-speed railway station. The whole journey is worry-free, showing the convenience and pleasure of travel. Today's itinerary is not only a spatial migration, but also a double journey of the soul and taste buds. Bus Route 1 connects the various customs of Qionglai and the leisurely life.
