One of the core areas of Longquan Mountain City Forest Park, known for its variety of peach blossom species, long blooming period, and high density. The best viewing period is from mid-March to early April each year when the peach blossoms are in full bloom.
The most famous place in Chengdu to view peach blossoms. During the blooming season, the mountains full of peach blossoms and the trails of Longquan Mountain City Forest Park make it the top choice for getting out of the city in March.
Worth a trip in spring for flower viewing, but definitely avoid the weekend rush; off-season, it’s a good spot for hikers who enjoy peace and quiet.
