Great hiking spots around Chengdu for a day trip!

Easy routes, wild edible plants, and rare plants! 🚶‍♂️> Want to hike but afraid of getting tired? Then you can't miss this! Shenpugou, near Chengdu, is a very easy hiking route, perfect for beginners. You can easily complete it in a day and enjoy the beautiful natural scenery! > **🌳 Forest Oxygen Bar:** Almost the entire route goes through the forest, with lush vegetation and fresh air, just like a natural oxygen bar. The first part has a slight climb, but the rest is relatively flat, walking along the ridge with a wide-open view. > **🎍 Picking Wild Vegetables:** You can now pick wild vegetables such as bamboo shoots, houttuynia cordata, and bracken on the mountain. If you like wild flavors, try picking them yourself! > **🕊️ Dove Tree Flowers:** Here you can see the nationally protected plant - Davidia involucrata, also known as the "dove tree" or “handkerchief tree”. Now is the blooming season, and it's definitely worth seeing! > **🌸 Azaleas:** The azaleas all over the mountains are also in bloom, with rich colors and beautiful scenery. The flowering season can last until mid-May, and the section from Gengyun Pavilion to Tingxue Pavilion is a great place for flower viewing. > **🥾 Hiking Route:** Shenpugou (Back Mountain Gate) → Jiangjunping → Deyue Pavilion → Gengyun Pavilion → Tingxue Pavilion → Banxian Pavilion → Ruyi Pavilion → Shenpugou (Back Mountain Gate). The whole journey is over 6 km and takes about 5-6 hours at a relaxed pace, suitable for most people. > **⚠️ Precautions:** * There are no shops on the mountain, so please bring your own food and water, and take your trash with you to protect the environment. * Summer is coming, so be sure to protect yourself from the sun, wear a hat, and apply mosquito repellent. * It is recommended to bring trekking poles and wear non-slip sneakers. * The weather on the mountain changes quickly, so you can bring a light jacket. > **🚗 Address:** Shenpugou, Shifang City. Navigate to "Shenpugou (Back Mountain Gate)". It's about a 1.5-hour drive from Chengdu. > **🎫 Tickets:** CNY 19.9/person
