Stepping into this place feels like entering the heart of the Amazon rainforest. Towering ancient ferns and lush vegetation that have thrived for hundreds of millions of years surround you. These plants began their journey during the age of the 🦕 dinosaurs, and they continue to flourish today. Some travelers affectionately call this spot the Jurassic Park of Sichuan. Welcome to 📍Leshan Xibazhen Suolu Grand Canyon, a breathtaking hiking destination perfect for a day trip from Chengdu.
✅ Travel Guide:
1️⃣ The canyon offers two entrances. We chose Gate 1, where the views are stunning. A 15-minute stroll leads you to a mesmerizing waterfall cascading over colossal moss-covered rocks—ideal for capturing unforgettable photos 📷! Our hike concluded at the dramatic cliffs.
2️⃣ For those eager to conquer the entire canyon, start at Gate 1 and exit through Gate 2.
The second half features more stairs and can be challenging but rewarding. Afterward, take the road back to the parking lot near Gate 1.
🚗 Transportation:
We traveled by high-speed train from Chengdu to Leshan Station and then rented a car for convenience. It’s approximately a one-hour drive from Leshan High-Speed Railway Station to the scenic area. If you’re traveling directly from Chengdu, the journey takes around 2.5 hours.
🎫 Admission:
The scenic area charges a modest cleaning fee of 10 yuan per person, with an additional parking fee of 10 yuan.
🦟 Note: In summer, mosquitoes are abundant, so don’t forget your repellent!
