Actually, it was a drive past Longquan Mountain when I saw the sign in picture 1 and immediately stopped to check it out. However, the level of protection is not very high (it's a district-level cultural heritage site), and the QR code on the sign couldn't be scanned . Driven by the 'since I'm here' mentality, I parked by the roadside and hiked up the mountain. At first, I took a path through the fields, but it was aimless, and all I could see around me were peach orchards, with no path continuing beyond. The terraced orchards, with their uneven terrain, were difficult to navigate. Relying on the location from Baidu Maps, I hopped down from the mountaintop through the peach blossoms, and after about half an hour, I finally found a stone carving . The moment I found it, I felt a refreshing sense of clarity, as if the clouds had parted to reveal the sun (the location on Baidu Maps was accurate, it's just that there was no path and I had to find my own way). The introduction on the highway mentioned that there are 13 caves, but it was a spontaneous decision to visit, and I really didn't have the time to explore where the other relics were scattered

Dafo Village 🌷Dafo Village has a small 'Heavenly Pool', where the trees are dense and suitable for photography. The pear trees along the way are also very beautiful. There are fewer restaurants and farmhouses. Peach Blossom Hometown 🌸Walking down from Dafo Village is the Peach Blossom Hometown, which is less congested than the route up from National Highway 318.

During the peach blossom season, there is a shuttle from the subway station to Peach Blossom Hometown, 5 yuan per person. 4. If you want to have a picnic, be sure to take your trash with you and protect the environment. 5. The flowering period is about a week or so. Sisters who like it, hurry up, or you'll have to wait until next year!

Taohua Guli is a 4A-level scenic area and a hot spot for Chengdu residents to enjoy flowers. The scenic area mainly includes attractions such as the Fortune Path, Love Path, Longevity Path, Ancient Post Road, Peach Blossom Pool, Ancient Post Times, Full Bloom under the Moon, Lianxin Pavilion, Peach Culture Corridor, Chenglong Observation of Buddha, Peach Blossom Stone Forest, Peach Culture Exhibition Hall, Peach Culture Poetry Wall, Kuafu Square, and more. There are footpaths built between these attractions, connecting various villages, allowing visitors to take in the rural beauty as they walk. Directions: Taohua Guli Visiting: 1. Self-driving: Starting from the visitor center, there is a circular road that runs through the entire Taohua Guli scenic area. Whether you start from the road on the left or right of the visitor center, you can return to the visitor center. Find a farmhouse with a good environment to drink tea, play cards, eat firewood chicken, and enjoy the flowers at nearby attractions. Firewood chicken is generally 68 yuan per jin, and dining usually includes free tea and card games. Some farmhouses or homestays in better locations may charge for card games. 2. Hiking: Also starting from the visitor center, do not take the road, but follow the signs along the footpath to the left or right, enjoying the peach blossoms all the way. The Ancient Post Road is a stone-paved road running north-south through the mountains, offering beautiful scenery. There are many attractions, and the visiting route can be adjusted according to your own situation. Visiting route (clockwise direction): Visitor Center - Fortune Path Entrance - Thousand Buddha Cliff - Fortune Pagoda - Peach Blossom Pool - Lianxin Pavilion - Locking Platform - Love Path - Full Bloom under the Moon - Love Path Entrance - Take the road - Peach Culture Exhibition Hall - Ancient Post Road - Taoyuan Village Committee - Ancient Post Road - Back to Visitor Center. It's about 6 kilometers in total. Precautions: 1. Weekends are busy with many people and cars; it's hard to find parking later in the day, otherwise, you can only park at a farmhouse, but it's more expensive. 2. When driving, try to go uphill, as most are concentrated around the visitor center. Parking is easier and quieter further away from the visitor center. 3. Since it's the season for spring outings, try to go early even on weekdays.
