Ranked as one of China’s most-liveable cities, Chengdu – the capital of Sichuan Province – is a great starting point from which to explore Sichuan. Although the city centre has scores of cars thronging its streets, the bustling side streets are chock-full of gingko trees and hibiscus flowers.

Emei Shan – a cool mountainside sanctuary that presents a sharp contrast to Sichuan basin’s sweltering heat – is located 130 kilometres southwest of Chengdu.

Leshan – home to the world’s tallest Buddha statue – is a tranquil riverside town not far from Emei Shan; it’s not a bad place to hang around for a day or two – the riverfront along Binhe Lu is especially beautiful at night.




Emei Shan (Mount Emei)

Emei Shan, one of the Middle Kingdom’s four famous Buddhist Mountains, is a smorgasbord of luxuriant mountain greenery, cheeky thieving macaques and lots of temples. The sunrise views from atop the sacred mountains are truly jaw-dropping. The mountains west of it are known as Daxiangling while the large surrounding area of countryside is known as the Permian Emeishan Large Igneous Province.

The many temples throughout Emei Shan are not the original structures dating from the advent of Buddhism in China – most of the originals were destroyed or looted during the war with Japan and the Cultural Revolution. This mountainside is frequented by visitors who stop over for a day or two at the monasteries that dot the area but still this nature reserve remains an isolated locale lined with cedar, fir and pine trees and towering cliffs, cloud-kissing crags and gorgeous flora and fauna.

Emei Shan is situated 130 kilometres south of Chengdu and is the perfect place to give your hiking boots a good workout. This cool misty retreat is best known for its fantastic sunrises as well as the Jingding Temple, Fuhu Monastery, Baoguo Temple and Qinying Pavillion.




Leshan Giant Buddha

Leshan is a good spot to explore for a few days. Its pride and joy is the impressive Grand Buddha engraved into a cliff face overlooking the Dadu and the Min rivers.

Leshan is situated not far from Emei Shan – is best known for the Grand Buddha carving. Erected by Buddhist monk Haitong in the hopes that it would stave off lethal currents, protect boatmen and calm the swift rivers, this statue is showing signs of age but remains an impressive sight. Located on the south-western fringe of the Red Basin in southern Sichuan, Leshan is also noted for the many temples scattered throughout the area; visitors often stopover at the Mahaoya Tombs Museum and the Wuyou Temple.


Highlights and Features

Emei Shan


Baoguo Temple: Erected in the 16th century, this Mahayana Buddhist temple is famous as the oldest surviving wooden structure in southern China. The main hall of the temple dates back to 1013 in the Northern Song dynasty; featuring beautiful gardens as well as a 3.5 metre-high porcelain Buddha dating back to 1415, it is a popular tourist attraction.

Fuhu Monastery: Located not far from Baoguo Temple, Fuhu Monastery is tucked away within lush forest greenery and is noteworthy for its seven-metre-high copper pagoda with Buddhist etchings.

Jingding Temple: The magnificent 1695sqm Jingding Temple is covered with glossy tiles and is quite a striking sight. It’s the best spot to catch the sunrise on Mount Emei but the fog sometimes obstructs the view.

Qinying Pavillion: Built on an outcrop in the middle of a swift-flowing brook, this temple is aptly named ‘Pure Sound Pavilion’ because of the soothing sounds of the waters coursing around its rock formations.

Grand Buddha: This giant serene and sacred statue is carved into a cliff face overlooking two rivers.




Leshan


Mahaoya Tomb Museum: This museum has an unpretentious collection of tombs and burial artefacts dating from the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Wuyou Temple: This monastery dates back to the Tang Dynasty and contains an assortment of calligraphy, painting and historical artefacts.

Opening Hours: Leshan Grand Buddha: 07:30 – 18:30 April – October; 08:00 – 17:30 October – March


Price Range: 

Emei Shan Entrance fee: CNY 150 – adult; CNY 80 – student - Bus ticket: CNY 70
Leshan Grand Buddha entrance fee: CNY 70


How to get there: 

Baoguo village is at the base of Mount Emei; the bus station is located here and you can buy Mount Emei entrance tickets and get mountainside information. Buses from Baoguo travel to three main points on the mountain – Wuxiangang, Wannian and Leidongping; each of these destinations can access Mount Emei attractions quite easily. The Baoguo temple can be reached by bus 332 from Ningbo city – the journey takes more or less 35 minutes. Leshan is located on the way to Emei Shan; there is a passenger rail line that serves the Mianyang–Chengdu–Leshan intercity area but there are no trains that go directly into the Leshan area.

Huanglong Scenic Area near Chengdu

Tour and travel di jakarta, agen travel jakarta, agen travel terbaik, tour and travel murah, agen travel online terpercaya, paket tour murah, promo air asia, promo pesawat garuda, Paket tour termurah terbaik terlengkap, www.skyetourandtravel.com, tour Hongkong, tour china, tour vietnam, disneyland hongkong, tour thailand, bangkok pattaya, turkey, beijing.

Huanglong is best known for its five main attractions – rainbow ponds, limestone sandbars, snow-capped peaks, undulating ravines and virgin forests. Also known as Golden Dragon Valley, Huanglong’s main draw are its tiers of multihued limestone ponds with the silhouette of the 5,588-metre Xuebao Peak in the backdrop.



The sequence of twinkling ponds extends through a basin where yellow-hued calcium carbonate and limestone deposits cause the waters to sparkle best on sunny days, in shades of pink, turquoise, yellow and green. This increasingly popular tourist destination is not as popular as the nearby Jiuzhaigou Park, but is a peaceful and gorgeous scenic area to visit.


Huanglong National Park

Most visitors to Chengdu are well aware that the nearby Jiuzhaigou Park is the more popular tourist attraction. Entrance prices to both parks are reasonably similar and they’ve both got their fair share of attractions so if cash isn’t a problem then Huanglong National Park should be another stop on your itinerary.

The park is a three to four-hour gentle, roundtrip walk; the altitude ensures nippy weather and the highest pools – sited at 3500 metres – are some of the most beautiful sights in China. You’ll get more bang-for-your-buck if you visit Huanglong between September and October – the temperature is perfect and the sun shines cheerfully throughout the day.



Located behind the Huanglong Temple are the most stunning ponds in the park such as Wuchaichi – also known as the Five-Coloured Pool. Visitors who want to head up to the peaks can hop on board the cable car that will take them on a gentle glide up the mountainside and guarantees a gorgeous view of the rolling mountainside.


History

Huanglong National Park is smaller than the more popular nearby Juizhaigou Park. Found approximately 155 miles away from Chengdu in Sichuan Province, the park rises and falls through the south of the Minshan range in Songpan County. With Xuebao Peak as its backdrop, it is famed for its tiered limestone ponds and is surrounded by untouched forest – it is also known for its beaches, lakes, springs, waterfalls, and caves. The ponds’ waters come from the melted snow of the mountain peaks – the karsts rising from beneath the earth, together with calcium carbonate in the water, give rise to the multicoloured pools.



Huanglong National Park is home to more than a few good attractions; the best time to visit is in the early morning when the air is misty and chilly. Huanglong Temple – also known as Yellow Dragon Temple – is at the foot of Snow Treasure Peak and is primarily used as grounds to worship the Goddess of Mercy. Another one of Huanglong’s great attractions is the Feipuliuhui – also known as the glowing waterfall. From a distance this 14-metre high, 68-metre wide water feature seems to descend from the heavens. The Xishen Grotto is one more not-to-be-missed sight; this bathing pool is said to be a sacred space where immortals bathed to ‘cultivate their virtues’.


Highlights and Features

Big Temple Fair: A Big Temple Fair is held on the 15th of every sixth lunar month to commemorate the day when the yellow dragon was said to achieve his Buddha-hood; locals trek up the mountain to pay homage and pray for good fortune.

Feipuliuhui: The Glowing Waterfall is a 14-metre high waterfall that rushes through the thick woods and gushes down dozens of terraced rocks.

Huanglong Cave: The Yellow Dragon Cave sits behind the Huanglong Temple. Its ceilings have an abundance of stalactites and during the winter icicles and ice waterfalls adorn the interior. It is frequently visited due to the three well-known Ming-dynasty Buddha statues, crusted with calcium carbonate deposit crystals, situated inside.

Huanglong Temple: The Yellow Dragon Temple consists of three small buildings which together form an abstract giant dragon. The foremost temple is recognised as the head of the dragon while the centre and rear temples correspondingly mark the waist and tail.

Wucaichi/ Five-Coloured Ponds: Located directly behind the Huanglong Temple, at the highest peak of the valley, these ponds are the best known in the park and reflect a distinctive variety of colours.



Xishen Grotto: Also known as the Body-Washing Grotto, the one-metre high and 1.5-metre wide grotto has creamy-yellow and milky-white stalactites. Its entrance is a partition of water vapour and this sacred space is said to be the site for immortals to ‘cultivate their virtues’.

Yingbin Ponds: Also known as the Guest-Welcoming Ponds, Yingbin consists of approximately 350 oddly-shaped ponds in varying sizes spread out over 9,600 square meters that overlap and emit musical ‘welcome notes’.

Zhuanhua Pond: Tucked away amidst alpine shrubs, the Revolving Flower Pond has a number of fountains that spring up from the limpid waters and cause geometric patterns to take shape on the water surface.

Opening Hours: 09:10 – 16:40
Price Range: Peak season (April 1 – November 15) – CNY 200 Off-peak season (November 16 – March 31) – CNY 80


How to get there: 

From Songpan, there is a bus that leaves at 06:00 and 07:00 for Huanglong National Park; the journey takes approximately one-and-a-half hours. From Jiuzhaigou, there is a bus that leaves at 07:00 and 07:30 for the park; the trip takes about three hours but the return trip is tricky.

The Great Wall of China


Tour and travel di jakarta, agen travel jakarta, agen travel terbaik, tour and travel murah, agen travel online terpercaya, paket tour murah, promo air asia, promo pesawat garuda, Paket tour termurah terbaik terlengkap, www.skyetourandtravel.com, tour Hongkong, tour china, tour vietnam, disneyland hongkong, tour thailand, bangkok pattaya, turkey, beijing.

An undisputable symbol of ancient Chinese military power, the Great Wall is the world’s largest military defense system in the world. It stretches across northern China, separating the mainland from Inner Mongolia, starting at the mouth of Yalu River (Hushan, Liaoning Province) in the east and ends at Jiayu Pass (Gansu Province) in the west, measuring 8,851.8 kilometres (5,500.3 miles) in all.

Rather than one continuous wall, the Great Wall is made up of several sections built at various times throughout history. Its construction spanned 2,000 years, from the Warring States Period (5th Century BC – 221 BC) to the massive expansion period undertaken during the Ming Dynasty (1368 – 1644).

Constructed using the rammed-earth technique, little of the ‘original’ Great Wall – built during the reign of Qin Shih Huang – has survived the test of time. Much of what is left standing today was constructed with stones and kiln-fired bricks, an engineering innovation under the Ming emperors.



One of China's most scenic attractions that calls for repeated visits, the Great Wall’s lengthy span passes through diverse landscapes and geographical terrains. The easternmost section at Hushan in Liaoning juts right into the Bohai Sea (Pacific Ocean), then it winds up and down mountains, through grasslands and deserts, passing through Hebei, Beijing, Tianjin, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Inner Mongolia, before ending at Jiayu Pass in Gansu.

Each wall section is fortified with a series of double- or triple-lined walls and military structures, including watchtowers, beacon towers, fortresses, garrison towns and blockhouses. Some of the sections are merged with natural defensive barriers, such as rivers and hills.

As such, walking a section of the Great Wall is not exactly a walk in the park – mostly it involves inching along with hands firmly on the handrail. In remoter, less well-kept sections, it can be dangerous, with loose bricks and stones. One man, though, has trekked the entire length of the Great Wall – but it took him two years – which meant surviving some of China’s most difficult terrain as well as unpredictable weather at high altitudes.


The Great Wall History

Up until the early Qing Dynasty (1644 – 1911), China was in constant warfare with neighbouring states and northern invaders. When Qin Shih Huang – the first Chinese emperor – unified the fragmented warring states under his Qin Empire, he linked the existing fortification system together as well as expanding it westward in hopes of warding off the northern nomadic tribes for once and for all.



Finally, what started off as an expansive fortification project turned into the largest military defense system in the world. Constructed using the rammed-earth technique, little of the ‘original’ Great Wall – built during the reign of Qin Shih Huang – has survived the test of time. Much of what is left standing today was constructed with stones and kiln-fired bricks, an engineering innovation under the Ming emperors. The Great Wall was made longer and more robust, with multi-line walls and additional structures, such as canon towers, observations posts, fortresses and beacons.

In effect, the Wall’s military function ceased once Mongolia was annexed by China during the Qing Dynasty. After extensive renovation by the government of the People’s Republic of China, the Badaling section was the first to open as a tourist attraction in 1955.


Highlights and Features

Badaling: The best-preserved – and most-visited section – situated 73km north of Beijing (accessible by bus or taxi). A military stronghold during the Ming Dynasty, Badaling’s outpost at Juyongguan is believed to be the highest point of the entire Great Wall (at 1,000 metres above sea level).

Shanhaiguan: The easternmost section (Ming), with one of the most heavily fortified and best preserved passes (The First Pass under Heaven). Flanked by the mountains and sea, Shanhaiguan is home to the eastern beginning of the Great Wall, or Laolongtou (Old Dragon’s Head), which juts into the Bohai Sea, and the Great Wall Museum. It lies 300 kilometres to the east of Beijing and is accessible via the Jingshen Expressway.



Simatai: Famous for its steep, ragged and intact appearance. The Simatai section (Hebei Province) features an attractive lake (Mandarin Duck Lake) and the famous Fairy Tower, with a steep stairway that rises at an 85-degree angle. Accessible by public bus from Beijing (120km).

Jinshanling: Connects with Simatai to the east (110km northeast of Beijing, accessible by bus), the Jinshanling section (Hebei Province) also has a steep, ragged appearance. Trek up the craggy stone stairs that lead to a watchtower for a spectacular view of the Great Wall snaking across the mountain ridges into the horizon.

Mutianyu: Winding through verdant mountains and pine forests, the Mutianyu (72km from Beijing, accessible by bus) section is renowned for its spectacular scenery.

Jiayuguan: Constructed in 1372 using the rammed-earth technique, Jiayuguan is the western starting point of the Great Wall and one of its best-preserved ancient military fortresses. The pass boasts magnificent three-storey fortresses and watchtowers, which look out over the vastness of the Gobi desert. Visitors should fly in to Jiayuguan City, then take a taxi to the pass.



Opening Hours: Each section of the wall has its own opening hours and admission fees. Most sections close earlier in winter/spring.
How to get there: When visiting the remoter sections, it’s best to hire a taxi or private driver. The more touristic sections, such as Shanhaiguan, are accessible by public bus.

The Forbidden City in Beijing

The Forbidden City was the centre of Imperial China during the Ming and Qing dynasties (1416 – 1911). In its heyday, as many as 9,000 people – guards, servants, eunuchs, concubines, civil servants and members of the Royal Family – lived inside the Forbidden City. Entry was restricted to very few, apart from ministers and state officials. Today, the Forbidden City is the largest and best-preserved ancient palace complex in the world.

Covering 720,000 square metres, it contains 90 palaces and courtyards, 980 buildings and 9,999 rooms, all constructed with wood. The Outer Court was where the emperor carried out ceremonies, state banquets and imperial examinations. To the north of the Outer Court, lying beyond the Gate of Heavenly Purity is the Inner Court where the emperor, his consorts and the imperial household once lived. It is believed that approximately one million imperial treasures – paintings, silver, gold, jades, bronze ware, ceramics, porcelains, embroidered silk – are still kept here.



Today, the Forbidden City is the largest and best-preserved ancient palace complex in the world. Covering 720,000 square metres, it contains 90 palaces and courtyards, 980 buildings and 9,999 rooms, all constructed with wood. The Outer Court houses three important structures – the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Hall of Middle Harmony and the Hall of Preserving Harmony – where the emperor carried out ceremonies, state banquets and imperial examinations. To the north of the Outer Court, lying beyond the Gate of Heavenly Purity is the Inner Court where the emperor, his consorts and the imperial household lived.

Imagine getting lost inside a closed world of brightly painted wood, massive pillars with elaborately carved dragon scales and heads, white stone floors covered by yellow carpets, walls adorn with decorative silk embroideries and paintings. The Forbidden City is filled with history and haunting memories of Imperial China.


Forbidden City History

The construction of the Forbidden City was commissioned by Emperor Yong Le, the third Ming Emperor, after he relocated the capital city to Beijing in 1406. Following the ancient rules of spatial design, and the Chinese belief that emperors were gods bestowed by heaven, the arrangement of the buildings reflects the hierarchical order in heaven; all principal buildings are aligned on the vertical axis from south to north, flanked by a symmetrical arrangement of minor structures on horizontal axes. This arrangement puts the Forbidden City right at the centre of downtown Beijing.



After 14 years, the construction of all main structures was finished. A maze of bright-red walls, white marble balustrades with ornate relief patterns and yellow tiled roofs became the signature of this Imperial City. For the next 500 years, it housed the administrations and imperial households of 24 emperors, survived several peasant revolutions and saw millions of treasures come and go. Then China plunged into a period of political turmoil, ending the phase of feudal rule with Pu Yi – the last emperor of China. In 1925, the Forbidden City was open to public.


Highlights and Features

Meridian Gate: The southern (main) entrance with five individual gates, for admitting people of certain ranks. The central gate was traditionally preserved for the use of the emperor.

Gate of Supreme Harmony: Main entrance to the Outer Court guarded by a pair of bronze lion statues, symbolising imperial power.

Hall of Supreme Harmony: The largest hall within the Forbidden City, used for ceremonial purposes, such as coronations, military leader nominations and imperial weddings. It is set on a three-tiered marble stone base and houses the ornate Dragon Throne.

Hall of Preserved Harmony: Pillar-free hall used for banquets and later imperial examinations.

Gate of Heavenly Purity: Separates the Inner Court from Outer Court, guarded by a pair of bronze lion statues.

Palace of Heavenly Purity: The emperor’s residence and, in the later Qing period, imperial audience hall.



Palace of Earthly Tranquility: The empress’ residence during the Ming Dynasty (1368 – 1644), then the Qing emperor’s nuptial chamber and worshipping altar.

Hall of Mental Cultivation: The emperor’s office and later (from Emperor Yongzheng onwards) his bed chamber.

Clock Exhibition Hall: Houses about 200 antique clocks and timepieces given to the emperors by foreign envoys and Chinese-made clocks, including the six-metre high water clock – the largest in China.

Imperial Garden: Where the imperial family spent their leisure time. Peppered with sculptures and four pavilions symbolising the four seasons, this landscaped garden is ideal for relaxing in.

Treasure Gallery: It is believed that today, approximately one million imperial treasures – paintings, silver, gold, jades, bronze ware, ceramics, porcelains, embroidered silk – are kept in the Forbidden City. They are on display at the Treasure Gallery located at the northeastern corner, inside the three exhibition halls: Hall of Spiritual Cultivation, Hall of Joyful Longevity and Belvedere of Well-Nourished Harmony.



Opening Hours: 08:30 to 16:20 (Oct. 16-Apr.15); tickets not available after 15:30 08:30 to 17:00 (Apr. 16-Oct.15); tickets not available after 16:00
