Danjingtai, Longquan Mountain Urban Forest Park
丹景台
A city viewing platform on Longquan Mountain that overlooks the Tianfu New Area and the Eastern New Area. On clear days, snow peaks along the skyline, such as Xiling Snow Mountain, can be seen in the distance.
Danjingtai lies within Longquan Mountain Urban Forest Park. It is the park's landmark viewing structure, on the ridge between Chengdu's main urban area and the Eastern New Area. From the platform you can overlook the city skyline of the Tianfu New Area. On clear days you can look west to the snow peaks of Gongga and Siguniang, hundreds of kilometres away, making it a popular spot for photographing a “park city beneath snow mountains.” Trails, cycling paths and outdoor campsites surround it, and it is pretty with peach blossoms in spring. Admission is free, and self-driving or taking a taxi is recommended. The best times are sunset in the evening and snow-peak views on clear mornings. It is windy at the summit, so bring warm clothing.
