    It's a great place to see autumn leaves and observe wildlife at low altitudes. Families with children are advised to join a wildlife viewing tour and stay at the scenic area's research institute. If you just want to see autumn leaves, it's recommended to stay at the Tangjiahe Jinjiang Hotel and explore Qingxi Ancient Town in the evening.

    Cuiyun Corridor Scenic Area (its core section is located in Jiange County, Guangyuan City) is one of the most representative sections of the "Jianmen Shu Road," hailed as the "Number One Corridor Under Heaven" and a "Living Fossil of the Forest." It is a National 5A-level tourist attraction. 1. Millennium Ancient Cypress Corridor Stretching 3.5-5 kilometers, it boasts nearly 10,000 ancient cypress trees aged 100-2300 years along its route. More than 7,000 of these trees are located within Jiange County alone, making it the world's largest and best-preserved man-made ancient cypress forest. The "Marshal Cypress," standing 29 meters tall with a trunk diameter of 2.24 meters, is over 2300 years old and requires five people to encircle its trunk. In 1963, Zhu De praised it as the "Marshal among Trees" during his inspection. 2. Original Appearance of the Shu Road + Ancient Transportation Relics The 2-5 meter wide bluestone pavement is smoothed by the ruts of carts, hooves, and footprints of countless travelers throughout history. It also preserves ancient road safety facilities such as horse-stopping walls, hitching posts, watering troughs, and anti-skid lines, making it a veritable "living fossil of land transportation." The "horse-stopping wall" section features an ancient cypress tree every 25 meters on average, boasting the most intact original appearance and offering a glimpse into an "ancient highway." 3. Dual Heritage of Ecology and Culture Established during the Qin and Han dynasties and completed during the Ming dynasty, the ancient cypress trees have survived for over two thousand years thanks to systems such as "officials and civilians mutually prohibiting logging" and "exchanging trees and seals." The Cuiyun Corridor, along with the adjacent Jianmen Pass 10 kilometers away, presents a contrasting yet complementary landscape, forming the classic "Difficult Shu Road" IP: a perilous pass and a secluded corridor, suitable for all seasons—spring for lush greenery, autumn for colorful forests, summer for escaping the heat, and winter for snow. At Cuiyun Corridor, you will find the 3,000-year-old "Golden Ox Road" ruts beneath your feet and a green tunnel supported by 2,300-year-old ancient cypress trees overhead, allowing you to see "road wonders + ecological miracles + cultural heritage" all at once.

    I soaked in the hot springs, but the most fun thing was the amusement park! The facilities are very large, and I got soaked several times. I was covered. These are all free to play, and the staff are very good. But the slippers given are all the same, and they are easily worn by others.
