Changping Valley, a hidden gem beneath

#cityplaybook Trekking and Accessibility Changping Valley is known for its well-maintained wooden boardwalks and dirt paths, making it ideal for hikers of varying skill levels. The first 7 kilometers of the valley are accessible via wooden walkways, allowing for a relaxed and scenic stroll that passes through Zhaga Temple, Tibetan prayer flags, and traditional wooden homes. Beyond this section, the trail becomes more rugged and is best suited for those looking for a more authentic hiking experience. For experienced trekkers, multi-day expeditions through the upper valley and into surrounding passes provide a deep dive into the remote wilderness. Horses can be rented locally for those wanting to explore deeper without strenuous effort. Cultural Encounters#chengdu
