Keep this guide to avoid the crowds! Easily reserve your own private peach blossom paradise.

This "Peach Blossom Paradise" secretly enjoyed by Chengdu locals
Every March, thousands of acres of peach trees turn the mountains and fields red overnight.
Resembling the Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms in "Eternal Love."
While 99% of tourists are still crowding into the Peach Blossom Hometown,
I've found a route to avoid the crowds.
It will take you through deserted peach forests and encounter the beauty of lakes and mountains.
Finally, at the Sunset Watchtower,
watch the entire city sink into the gentle twilight.

📷Longquan Mountain travel recommendations
1⃣️Baoshi Lake Secret Realm
The pink dream at the foot of the mountain blooms here first.
Stroll along the lake, where layers of peach blossoms are reflected on the water.
It's like walking into Monet's spring painting.
·
2⃣️Mid-mountain Viewing Platform
A great location for a panoramic view.
Pink and white sea of flowers, green lake water, and the city skyline
create a three-dimensional spring scroll.
It is recommended to come in the afternoon when the light is soft to take great photos.
·
3⃣️Dafo Village Peach Garden
The peach blossom terraces in the morning mist are unbelievably beautiful.
The cascading sea of flowers is like a pink rainbow.
The light is best from 9-11am.
A casual shot is a real-life version of "Peach Blossom Spring."
·
4⃣️Sunset Watchtower
The ultimate romance at dusk.
The golden sunset casts a warm light on the entire peach forest.
Enjoy tea and laughter among the peach blossoms and rapeseed flowers in the sunset.
The city lights gradually come on.
It is recommended to arrive before 17:30 to grab the best spot.

✨Tips:
1. There are the fewest people at Baoshi Lake in the early morning, so you can reserve the entire sea of flowers.
2. It is recommended to wear light-colored clothes when visiting the Dafo Village terraces for better photos.
3. Remember to bring a coat to the Watchtower, as the mountain breeze is cooler in the evening.
