About
Quick facts: More than 100,000 trees adorn the hills, with a 45-meter-tall Li Bai statue overlooking the city. The park combines the wild beauty of Sichuan's nature with the literary legacy of China's most famous poet.
Highlights: On a clear autumn day, the morning sun casts a golden glow back from the white pagoda atop the central hill. Local poets still gather here at sunrise to recite verses, just as Li Bai himself did a thousand years ago.
Insider tips
- Go through the side entrance on the east side: it is quieter there and you get the best views of the city.
- The observation point at the white pagoda is least crowded around 9 a.m. and offers the clearest panorama.
- Wear sturdy hiking shoes, because the paths to the top are steep and uneven.
- Visit on a weekday instead of the weekend to avoid the school groups.
