Tired of the steel and concrete forest in the city, tired of the hustle and bustle of urban life? Why not take advantage of the beautiful spring scenery and go into the mountains and wilderness. The purpose of "ascending" in the spring is to enjoy the colorful spring scenery while walking, loosen up stiff limbs, and clear the cluttered mind...
Xinjin: Mountain climbing, treasure hunting, and admiring ten thousand mu of pear blossoms. Laojun Mountain in Xinjin, which requires no entrance fee and has a relatively gentle slope, has become a popular spot for many Chengdu residents to ascend during the spring. The Laojun Mountain fitness trail in Xinjin has been completed, with a free parking lot specifically set up for mountain climbers. The newly finished mountain trails and steps have been specially designed according to human mechanics, presenting no great difficulty.
Ascending Laojun Mountain in the spring, one will be accompanied by blooming pear blossoms on both sides of the path. Along the way, taking a moment to look afar over the railings, you can see endless pear orchards by the Pear Blossom Creek. Currently, the 10th Pear Blossom Festival has already begun. After enjoying the sight of ten thousand mu of pear orchards during a weekend climb up Laojun Mountain, visitors can also watch wonderful artistic performances. It's understood that there will be eight artistic performances every weekend from 2 pm to 4 pm during the Pear Blossom Festival in March. In addition, from March 7 to March 29, every Saturday and Sunday, a "mountain climbing treasure hunt" activity will be held on Laojun Mountain.
Shixiang Lake: Embracing the sea of tulips. Spring touring at Shixiang Lake, crossing through the lush green mini-forest within the scenic area, as soon as you step onto the gently sloping forest land, you'll immediately be immersed in the surrounding greenery.

Pujian: Distant view of rapeseed flowers at Changqiu Mountain. In the vibrant month of March, going to Changqiu Mountain in Pujian for an outing and flower appreciation is a good choice. Driving along the expressway towards Pujian, looking out the car window, a golden expanse greets you - under the blue sky and white clouds, the vast fields of rapeseed flowers shimmer in the sunlight. The rapeseed flower fields in Pujian not only present a majestic spectacle but also have unique shapes compared to other places; some are "patchy", some "undulating", and some "winding". The golden yellow is dotted with white plum blossoms, red peach blossoms, and mist-like cherry blossoms... all harmonizing with the distant mountains, nearby waters, villages, and homes, creating beautiful scenery whether viewed up close or from afar. If interested, one can also taste freshly harvested rapeseed flower honey, fresh pollen, and royal jelly.
