Things to do in Hanyuan

Jiuxiang Ancient Town is located in the mountains. Due to inconvenient transportation and being far away from big cities, the ancient town is still quite primitive. However, there are actually not many ancient buildings inside. You can start from the archway and there are several alleys. The local yellow beef is especially recommended.

One day and one night is the best. In the morning, go to Jiuxiang to pick fruits and enjoy flowers; in the afternoon, take a walk by Hanyuan Lake, take a boat tour, and go to the supermarket to buy the best peppercorns; in the evening, you must go to eat beef hotpot (Hanhulou beef).

The scenery is beautiful, with lush greenery and flowing blue water. The valley is characterized by its many rocks, and the water is crystal clear with frequent small waterfalls. Although the one-way A route is 6 kilometers, there are sightseeing buses at intervals, satisfying both hiking and sightseeing needs; you can choose according to your preference. At the summit is a hidden gem of dove trees, which must be incredibly beautiful when the dove trees are in bloom; I highly recommend visiting then. On the final stretch of the descent, there are bamboo rafts to the exit, allowing for frequent water activities along the entire route, and the bamboo rafting adds a lot of fun. Highly recommended! I just wonder if there's accommodation at the summit; that would be fantastic.

Sichuan Dadu River Canyon National Geopark has pleasant scenery and beautiful landscapes. It is located at the junction of Hanyuan County and Ganluo County. It is a 4A scenic spot. It feels very good, interesting and cost-effective.

I set off from Baoguo Temple Service Center at 7:00 AM, took a 2-hour bus ride to Leidongping, and then hiked to the Golden Summit. I didn't take the cable car; it took about an hour to reach the summit. It was foggy that day, so I couldn't see the Buddha statues clearly. I started my descent around 1:00 PM. I saw a few monkeys in the distance. After getting off the cable car, I took another bus to Wannian Temple. The bus pass allows for two hops on and off. When I arrived at Wannian Temple, I saw the Wuliang Hall, which is even older than the Golden Summit. I took the last bus down the mountain at 6:00 PM.

It was really nice experience. Recommended to arrive early since there are lot of tourists and pandas are active mostly in the morning.

A fantastic guided tour experience in Dujiangyan. Ms. Baihe from Shurenshuo explained things clearly and simply, making the principles of water conservancy and historical anecdotes vivid and engaging; I listened with great interest. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and considerate, thoughtfully reminding me to be careful when going down stairs and crossing suspension bridges. Professional and responsible, she worked very hard guiding us throughout the tour. Thank you so much! Highly recommended!

This cable car is very convenient and easy. If you're traveling with elderly people, you should definitely take it. My parents and I rode it to the top of the mountain, then walked from the Lanxi cliff to the middle of the Ancient Buddha cable car station, and then sat down again. The timing was perfect, not too tiring, and we got to see beautiful views of the whole city. Highly recommended!

Stairs on the left side in the second half of mountain are slippery, narrow and partially destroyed in some places, so i strongly suggest that you take those stairs on the left side only up, not down. Whole journey (up the stairs on the left and down on the cable car on the right) took us about 4 hours. Food, drinks and restrooms can be found near all points of interest on this mountain, and along the way there are plenty of places where you can sit or even lie down to have some rest, which makes the climb comfortable.
