Longcanggou National Forest Park
龙苍沟
A gateway community to the giant panda national park in Yingjing County, with vast stands of wild dove trees and streams and waterfalls. In spring, the 'dove flowers' cover the mountains.
Longcanggou National Forest Park is in Yingjing County. It has very high forest cover, is one of the habitats of wild giant pandas, and is famous for its native dove tree forests. In April and May, the white bracts perch on the branches like white doves. The park has valley trails, a series of waterfalls and a panda science trail. Summers are cool, and many guesthouses for escaping the heat have developed here. Ticket prices follow the park's announcements. From Ya'an city, it is about 1 hour by car via the Ya'an–Xichang Expressway, exiting at Longcanggou.
