Zhangba Longan Forest
张坝桂圆林
A stretch of century-old longan trees along the Yangtze, with dense shade. It is a favorite summer spot for Luzhou residents to cool off, cycle and eat at farm restaurants.
Zhangba Longan Forest lies on the bank of the Yangtze on the east side of Luzhou's urban area. The forest has tens of thousands of longan trees, many of them more than a century old, and is known as the 'natural oxygen bar of the Yangtze.' Footpaths and cycling trails run through the grove, allowing you to stroll along the river and enjoy the views. Each year in August, when the longans ripen, visitors can taste them and pick their own. There are many farm restaurants nearby. Admission is free, and the forest is about 15 minutes by car from the city center. It is ideal for a relaxed half-day outing. Watch out for mosquitoes in summer.
