[2025 Chengdu Attraction] Travel Guide for Huanhuaxi Park (Updated Aug)

The plum blossoms in this park are blooming, and there are thatched cottages, broken bridges, streams, and egrets in the park... It's as beautiful as the Peach Blossom Land in the TV series Eternal Love. . ✍The poet's description of Huanhuaxi is even more beautiful: Su Yong wrote: "The clear stream flows around the city, the Huanhua Stream flows to the west, who knows Du Lao when he comes again, the ducklings on the sand and the gulls on the water." Du Fu wrote: "Two orioles sing in the green willows, a row of egrets fly into the blue sky, the window contains the snow of the Xiling Mountains for thousands of years, and the door is moored with a boat from Dongwu for thousands of miles." . 📍Address: Huanhuaxi Park 🚊Subway: Exit B of Qingyang Palace Station on Line 5, walk for about 15 minutes, or ride a shared bike. 🌸Plum blossom viewing route: Walk along the lake from the north gate to the northwest gate of the park. .

"Riding west of Jin City, I was intoxicated by the plum blossoms The fragrance lingered for 20 miles, from Qingyang Palace to Huanhua Stream" - You see, over 800 years ago, Lu You said, "I was intoxicated by the plum blossoms when I rode west of Jin City, and I drank and admired the flowers. The fragrance lingered for 20 miles, from Qingyang Palace to Huanhua Stream, and I was intoxicated!" How can we not visit 📍Huanhua Stream Park to admire the plum blossoms 800 years later? - 🌸Plum blossom walk route: Qingyang Palace Subway Station Exit B - Qingyang Heng Street - Wangxian Bridge - Huanhua Stream Park - Qinghua Road - Qingyang Shang Street - Qingyang Palace Subway Station Exit B . This is a route that doesn't require you to backtrack, and you can walk it in reverse. There are many plum blossoms along the river, and there are almost no people, so don't miss it. If you don't want to walk, you can also ride a bike. - 📷Photo tips: 1️⃣Although many plum blossoms have bloomed, it's not the peak season yet. It should be around mid-month. 2️⃣There are many people on weekends and holidays, so it's recommended to visit during off-peak hours. Please admire the flowers in a civilized manner! 3️⃣Most of the plum blossoms in Huanhua Stream Park are concentrated along the river near the Provincial Museum.

On a soft summer day, Huanhuaxi Park felt like a living painting wide, quiet, and brushed with green. Willows dipped into the gentle creek, where koi swam beneath stone bridges and egrets stood motionless in the shallows. We walked along winding paths shaded by tall bamboo and flowering trees, each turn revealing another corner of calm. It was peaceful, but never empty — joggers passed, children laughed, and the city seemed to pause just outside the park’s edges. 🐟🌿🚶♀️ Near the Du Fu Thatched Cottage, literary spirit lingered in the air. Poems engraved in stone peeked from the brush, and calligraphy danced on small plaques beside blooming gardens. Huanhuaxi wasn’t a tourist spot it was a sanctuary where Chengdu’s soul could breathe, especially in the golden hush of summer. ✒️🪷📜 #summervacay #myitinerary #travel

Travel is an exploration of the soul and an intimate dialogue with history and nature. Starting from Jinjiang Wuhouci Dashidong Road, a charming journey around Chengdu begins. Day 1: A Journey Through History At 9 AM, depart from Jinjiang Wuhouci Dashidong Road. A 20-minute walk (about 600 meters) will take you to Wuhou Temple. This temple commemorates Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, and other heroes of the Shu Han Kingdom. The winding paths between red walls seem to transport you back to the dramatic Three Kingdoms era. The weathered bricks exude an ancient charm, and as you stroll, you might almost hear the footsteps of ancient figures and the neighing of warhorses. Recommended visit: 3 hours to savor the historical ambiance. After Wuhou Temple, take a 20-minute bus ride (about 4 km) to Du Fu Thatched Cottage. This was the residence of the great Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu during his time in Chengdu. The cottage features elegant pavilions, lush bamboo groves, and meandering streams. Stepping inside feels like entering the world of Du Fu's poetry, offering a deep sense of his creative spirit. Recommended visit: 2.5 hours to immerse in the poetic atmosphere. For lunch, enjoy Chengdu specialties like Twice-Cooked Pork—a dish with a glossy red hue, tender yet not greasy, made with pork belly, green peppers, and other ingredients, perfectly cooked with a rich savory flavor. Another must-try is Mapo Tofu, a classic Sichuan dish featuring silky tofu in a spicy and numbing sauce. After a short break, take a 15-minute bus ride (about 3 km) to Qingyang Palace, one of China's most famous Taoist temples. Its unique architecture, especially the exquisite Bagua Pavilion, showcases the mystique and depth of Taoist culture. Recommended visit: 1.5 hours to appreciate its charm. For dinner, try Long Chao Shou (dragon wontons) near Qingyang Palace—thin-skinned, generously filled, and served with a flavorful broth in various flavors. Day 2: A Blend of Nature and Culture At 9 AM, depart from the hotel and take a 30-minute subway ride (about 5 km) to Jinsha Site Museum. This museum showcases the brilliance of ancient Shu civilization, with exquisite artifacts like gold and jade items, particularly the Sun and Immortal Birds gold foil, a symbol of Shu culture. Recommended visit: 3 hours to uncover its mysteries. For lunch, savor Kung Pao Chicken near the museum—tender chicken with crispy peanuts in a sweet, sour, and slightly spicy sauce. In the afternoon, take a 40-minute bus ride (about 6 km) to Huanhuaxi Park, a urban park blending natural and cultural landscapes. With babbling streams and shaded paths, it's perfect for a lakeside stroll to unwind. Recommended visit: 2 hours to enjoy nature's tranquility. For dinner, try Fuqi Feipian (husband and wife lung slices)—a visually appealing dish with tender texture and a rich, spicy flavor. This trip offers a chance to reflect on history, relax in nature, and indulge in Chengdu's culinary delights. Chengdu, a city full of charm, is worth savoring in every detail.

🌿 Huanhuaxi Park – A Calm Escape in the Heart of Chengdu Tucked just beside the famous Du Fu Thatched Cottage, Huanhuaxi Park (浣花溪公园) is one of Chengdu’s most peaceful and underrated green spaces — and it quickly became one of my favorite morning stroll spots during my stay. 🌳 With wide, shady paths, bamboo groves, and a gentle stream running through it, this park feels worlds away from the city buzz. Locals gather here for tai chi, dance sessions, or poetry recitals, adding to the park’s calm, literary vibe. 📖 True to its poetic name (which roughly translates to “Stream for Washing Flowers”), Huanhuaxi has strong cultural ties — especially with Du Fu, one of China’s greatest poets, who once lived nearby. You can truly feel the poetry in the air here. 🧭 Tip: • Entry is free • Best visited in the morning or late afternoon • Pair it with a trip to Du Fu Thatched Cottage (杜甫草堂) right next door • Very local vibe — less touristy than People’s Park or Wide & Narrow Alleys This is a spot where Chengdu slows down, where nature and culture blend seamlessly — and I highly recommend carving out an hour here. #summervacay #浣花溪公园 #成都旅行 #杜甫草堂 #ChengduHiddenGems #诗意成都 #成都绿意 #公园漫步 #SlowTravelChina #四川景点 #文学与自然

Chengdu Spring Roaming | Encountering Poetry and Blooming Flowers in Huanhuaxi Park Chengdu's spring is hidden in the moist breeze and in the layers of greenery. If you want to find a place where you can feel the wildness of nature and touch the historical context, Huanhuaxi Park is definitely the best choice. This weekend, why not slow down and come here for a date with poetry and blooming flowers. 🌿 Strolling through the Poetic Garden, Immersive Oxygen Absorption At nine o'clock in the morning, the sunlight shines through the branches and leaves, and the moment you step into Huanhuaxi Park, you are embraced by the oncoming negative oxygen ions. As a "city lung" with a very high green coverage rate in Chengdu, there are beautiful scenery everywhere: winding streams pass through the park, with lush calamus and wildflowers dotted along the banks; the bamboo forest beside the trail rustles, and occasionally you meet sketching painters, whose paintings of the lake and mountains have already been dyed with the gentleness of spring. Tips: The park is open for free until 22:00. It is recommended to visit during off-peak hours in the morning to avoid the crowds and capture the hazy poetry when the morning mist has not yet dissipated. 📜 Check in at Cultural Landmarks and Touch the Temperature of History Passing through the Moon Cave Gate on the west side of the park, the thatched cottage of Du Fu, the "Sage of Poetry," comes into view—Du Fu Thatched Cottage (ticket price: CNY 50, open from 9:00–18:00). Among the red walls and bamboo shadows, the Tang Dynasty-style thatched cottage ruins, the Tang Dynasty pottery figurine exhibition, and the modern gardens are cleverly integrated. Strolling along the stone carvings of "A Happy Rain on a Spring Night," you can almost hear the sound of rain from a thousand years ago. If you want to learn more about Bashu civilization, the Sichuan Provincial Museum (free, reservation required) next door is not to be missed. Zhang Daqian's Dunhuang mural copies and the Sichuan Han Dynasty Pottery and Stone Art Exhibition, every cultural relic tells the story of the past and present of this land. If you are tired of shopping, you may wish to turn into the antique street next to it. Even if you don't hunt for goods, you can be attracted by the antique doors and windows and the elegant cultural and creative shops. A casual shot is a literary blockbuster. 🌸 Spring Limited Romance: Flower Viewing Guide From March to May, Huanhuaxi is never short of flowers: • Red plum and Chinese flowering crabapple: The plum forest at the entrance of the North Gate takes the lead in reporting the spring. The pink and white petals fall on the bluestone slabs, just like the grand scene of "Qujiang has ten thousand trees, all bright and beautiful" in Han Yu's writings; • Tulips and poppies: The flower fields next to the central lake area bloom in turn. The red and yellow color blocks contrast with the green water and trees, making it an excellent background for spring picnics; • Hydrangeas and jacarandas: In mid-to-late May, the hydrangea flower balls by the stream gradually become full, and the jacaranda avenue on Qinghua Road outside the park will be transformed into a purple tunnel. Remember to reserve memory! 🍜 Chengdu on the Tip of the Tongue: Surrounding Food Map After visiting the park, you may wish to reward your taste buds with an authentic Sichuan flavor: • Leshan Xian Zhi Wei Bobo Chicken (Caotang North Road Store): The red oil soup base is fragrant but not dry, and the chicken slices and gizzard are covered with sesame seeds. Paired with a bowl of chicken soup rice, it instantly awakens your appetite; • Zeng Sanxian Rice Noodles (Qinghua Road Store): The signature "Sanxian" rice noodles are full of ingredients and rich in flavor. The sour radish and kelp are refreshing and hit the soul directly. The spiciness is optional and friendly to tourists; • Weimin Barbecue Bar (Huanhua North Road Store): Sitting around the stove in the evening, the grilled pork belly sizzles, paired with ice powder to relieve the spiciness, full of fireworks. ✨ Useful Tips • Transportation: Take Metro Line 5 to Qingyang Palace Station, and you can reach it by riding a bicycle for 10 minutes; you can park in the North Gate parking lot of the park by car (limited parking spaces, it is recommended to arrive early); • Dressing: It is recommended to wear light sports shoes for easy walking; the temperature difference in spring is large, so you can prepare a thin coat; • Hidden gameplay: Rent a small boat to row on the lake (CNY 30/30 minutes), or find your favorite poem on the Poetry Avenue and feel the artistic conception of "Huanhuaxi water is at the west end, and the owner is a secluded forest pond." When the twilight dyes the banks of the stream, take a wisp of floral fragrance and leave Huanhuaxi. This poetic garden hidden in the downtown area has quietly planted Chengdu's philosophy of slow life in the hearts of tourists. Next weekend, why not invite your friends to read poetry, watch flowers, and taste the fireworks of the world, and write the romance of spring into your own travel diary.

If you go to Chengdu without doing your research, you might miss out on the best parts and run into trouble. I learned that the hard way! So, here's a super practical Chengdu guide, including tips for traveling in April. Save it now! 🌞Chengdu Weather In April, the temperature in Chengdu ranges from 15°C–23°C (59°F–73°F). The daytime is sunny, so a long-sleeved T-shirt and a light jacket are perfect for exploring. It can be a bit chilly in the morning and evening, especially by the river or in the shade, where the breeze can feel cool. Bring a light cardigan or windbreaker to stay warm and stylish. Be sure to check the weather forecast before you go and adjust your clothing accordingly. ⚠️Chengdu Travel Tips: ❌Don't trust people near the stations who try to get you to stay in cheap hotels or recommend "day trips." The conditions are poor, and there are many scams. Book your accommodations and plan your itinerary in advance on a reputable platform. ❌The "local specialties" sold by street vendors at tourist attractions, such as fake Sichuan opera masks and poor-quality Shu embroidery, are overpriced and not guaranteed. Buy souvenirs from reputable stores or established brands. ❌Don't take photos with "panda" mascots on the street. They will charge you a high price afterward. The small ads and promo codes at the entrance to the scenic spots are often consumer traps, so just ignore them. ✔️Book tickets online in advance for the Temple of Marquis Wu, and check the opening hours and tour times. Follow the designated route in the park and protect the cultural relics. ✔️For authentic food, go to Kuixinglou Street. The Maojiao Spicy Skewers are amazing, and the ice jelly is refreshing. Yulin Road is also a treasure trove of food, with hot pot and barbecue galore. ✔️For a view of Chengdu at night, go to Jinli Ancient Street. The night scene in April is beautiful, and there are folk performances. Book tickets online in advance and take lots of photos. ✔️After visiting Du Fu Thatched Cottage, stroll along Huanhua Creek and check out the Sichuan Provincial Museum. Take a sightseeing bus from a regular stop to avoid being ripped off. ✔️Visit Mount Qingcheng on a sunny day. Book tickets and round-trip transportation online in advance. Enjoy the scenery along the trails, and don't damage the environment. 🏘Accommodation Recommendations I recommend staying in Wuhou District or Jinjiang District. Wuhou District is close to the Temple of Marquis Wu and Jinli, making it convenient for travel and full of ancient charm. Jinjiang District has Chunxi Road and Taikoo Li, with plenty of food options. Prioritize places near bus or subway stations for easy access to various attractions. Although homestays in remote suburbs are cheaper, they are inconvenient for transportation and lack facilities. It's hard to get help in case of emergencies at night, so choose carefully. 📍Chengdu Transportation: Chengdu's attractions are scattered, so buses and subways are convenient. Buy a transit card or use your mobile phone to scan the code to ride. To go to Mount Qingcheng, take subway Line 2 to Xipu Station, then transfer to the intercity train to Mount Qingcheng Station. Pay attention to the first and last train times. Buses offer scenic views, but the routes are complicated, so check the station directions when you get on. Confirm the destination and price with the taxi driver to avoid disputes. Plan your transportation in advance, and enjoy a smooth trip to Chengdu!

Mossy branches embrace the cold stream, and I write poems alone with drunken ink. The fragrant wind blows through the bamboo grove, and the ice silk and snow weigh down the branches. The moss outside Qingyang Palace is green, and there are few visitors in Du Fu Hall. Suddenly, I hear clear singing from the building, and the spring mud rises in the mist and rain of Huanhua. Lu You loved the plum blossoms in Chengdu the most, and left behind the eternal famous sentence "I rode a horse to the west of Jincheng, and was drunk like mud by the plum blossoms. The fragrance continued for 20 miles, from Qingyang Palace to Huanhua Creek". The plum blossoms in Chengdu must be appreciated in this life.

Located in Huanhuaxi Park, free of charge. The plum blossoms are in full bloom. Go take some photos! I recommend wearing light-colored clothes. Bring a hat, book, or other props. The photos will be amazing.

Let's take a walk on the streets of Chengdu. The little bar in Yulin and the red walls of Wuhou Shrine are waiting for you all year round. But the plum blossoms in Du Fu Thatched Cottage will wither soon. They only bloom from mid-January to late February. Take a taxi to the Sichuan Museum Visitor Center, then walk all the way to the east gate of Du Fu Thatched Cottage, and keep walking to Huanhua Stream Park. You will experience the fragrance lingering for miles, from Qingyang Palace to Huanhua Stream.

| Du Fu Thatched Cottage Travel Guide. If you want to meet the "top poet" of the Tang Dynasty, Du Fu, you must visit **Du Fu Thatched Cottage** in Chengdu! This is not only Du Fu's former residence, but also a paradise for poetry lovers. Every photo you take here will be full of culture. 🏡 The Cottage: The "old and small" house of the Poet Sage "How I wish I could have ten thousand houses, to shelter all the poor scholars in the world!" - That's right! This famous line was written by Du Fu in this thatched cottage! Don't be fooled by the lush trees and flowing streams here today, it was a drafty "starter home" back then. We recommend bringing a notebook to copy poems and check in, and experience Du Fu's daily life of writing poems and "slacking off". 🌳 Bamboo Path: A time-traveling social media feed The best part of the cottage is not the house, but the atmosphere! The bamboo-shaded paths and red-walled corridors make for great photos. Imagine: Du Fu might have strolled here for inspiration, and if he had a pedometer, he would have topped the leaderboard every day! Don't forget to take a photo at the "Shaoling Stele Pavilion" and pretend to be in the same frame as Mr. Du. 📜 Thatched Cottage Ruins: A true reflection of poetry and the world The centerpiece of the cottage is the restored thatched cottage! The roof is covered with a thin layer of grass, and inside there is only a bed and a table, but it was here that Du Fu wrote more than 240 poems! Compare it to modern people's "poetry and the world", and you'll instantly feel that Mr. Du is the true philosopher of life! (After all, he could write "Two orioles sing in the green willows" while living in a thatched cottage.) 🌸 Huanhua Stream: Du Fu's "immortal neighbor" Next to the cottage is the beautiful **Huanhua Stream Park**, where Du Fu used to watch egrets, admire peach blossoms, and listen to the flowing water. Today, it is still a treasure park for Chengdu people, with cherry blossoms in spring and ginkgo leaves in autumn. We recommend wearing a Hanfu to take photos and instantly get the same artistic conception as Du Fu's poems! 📝 Tips: 1️⃣ Wear comfortable shoes! The cottage is bigger than you think, and you can also visit Qingyang Palace or Kuanzhai Alley nearby. 2️⃣ Buy a cultural ice cream (brush or thatched cottage shape) at the entrance, it's both beautiful and delicious! 3️⃣ Memorize a few lines of Du Fu's poems before you go, and your experience will be even better! Doesn't Du Fu suddenly seem less like a serious old man from a textbook, and more like a "Chengdu drifter" who lived in a thatched cottage, loved to stroll, and was great at writing poems? Go to the cottage and give Mr. Du a high five! ✋✨

Huanhuaxi is a beautiful name. I was deeply impressed when I visited Du Fu Thatched Cottage. This time, I came to Chengdu. I can skip Du Fu Thatched Cottage, but I must visit Huanhuaxi Park. Cross Huanhua South Road and enter Caotang Road. The road is lined with ancient trees, providing shade from the sun. Continue west, and you will see the beautiful stream that surrounds Du Fu Thatched Cottage and Huanhuaxi Park. The core of Huanhuaxi Park is a pond called Canglang Lake, which is fed by Huanhuaxi. Caotang Road runs between Huanhuaxi Park and Du Fu Thatched Cottage. Huanhuaxi Park is an open garden, while Du Fu Thatched Cottage is surrounded by red walls. Walk clockwise around Canglang Lake. Huanhuaxi is to the south, and a greenway runs along the stream. The trees are dense, and you can only see Canglang Lake through the gaps in the trees. There are also stone tablets with poems by Du Fu along the greenway, which are scattered throughout Huanhuaxi Park. If you have time to read them, it is a good cultural experience. Walk along the greenway to the intersection. Continue forward to reach the main stone tablet pavilion, or turn left to reach the south gate of the park. Turn right and cross Huanhuaxi via the small bridge. There is a sculpture on the other side that is particularly eye-catching. This is a group sculpture. The white statues in front are Li Bai and Du Fu, and the black statue behind is Qu Yuan. Qu Yuan wrote: "The water of the Canglang is clear, so I can wash my tassels." Du Fu was a fan of Qu Yuan. He drifted around all his life and finally died on a boat on the Miluo River. There seems to be some kind of fate in this. Naming the pond in the center of Huanhuaxi Park Canglang Lake is obviously meaningful. This is the connection between Canglang Lake and Huanhuaxi. There is a platform by the lake, where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Canglang Lake. Head north to Caotang Road. Walk west to Caotang Square, which is the south gate of Du Fu Thatched Cottage. I plan to walk around Du Fu Thatched Cottage. Take a photo in front of the gate, and continue west. You will see Huanhuaxi again. Cross the small bridge over Huanhuaxi to reach Caotang Lane. Caotang Road turns along the riverbank. The greenway is built along the wall, which changes from red to white. There is a screen wall by the road ahead, which blocks the west gate of Du Fu Thatched Cottage, which is also the main gate. If you enter from here, you can go directly to the famous thatched cottage broken by the autumn wind.

If you ask what color autumn is in Chengdu, it must be ginkgo color! The golden ginkgo road is full of golden leaves. When the wind blows, the yellow leaves fall down. It is as beautiful as a fairy tale in autumn. 📍 Huanhua South Road 🌟 Photo guide📷: ✔️ On the right hand side of Sichuan Museum exit👉 The ginkgo trees at the intersection of Huanhua South Road have turned yellow by 80%, and the ginkgo trees are large and dense, and one photo is enough to make you a god. ✔️The photos will only be taken when there is sunshine☀️. Only when there is sunshine will the ginkgo leaves shine with golden light. ✔️The best light for shooting is between 14:00 and 15:00 in the afternoon. ✔️Walk straight along Huanhua South Road. There are ginkgo trees on both sides of the road. It is very pleasant to walk and look at them. Huanhuaxi Park

Chengdu is at its most beautiful now, The red maples and ginkgo trees are breathtaking. 📷 Please note that you can't go down to take photos now, You can photoshop yourself in, haha.
