Panoramic City Views
Dubbed the “Eye of the City,” Danjing Terrace crowns the highest ridge of Longquan Mountain, offering a 360 – degree panorama of Chengdu’s sprawling metropolis and the lush, undulating greenery of the urban forest park. The vantage point symbolizes the city’s harmony with nature, making it a photographer’s paradise at sunrise or sunset.
Architectural Elegance
The viewing platform’s spiral design, blending modern aesthetics with organic curves, mimics a blooming peony—a nod to Sichuan’s floral heritage. Its elevated walkways and glass observation decks create an immersive experience, seemingly floating above the forest canopy.
Seasonal Beauty
Visit in spring to witness the mountain ablaze with peach blossoms (the area neighbors the famed “Peach Blossom Valley”), or in autumn when the foliage transforms into a fiery tapestry. The terrace also hosts light shows and cultural festivals, adding a dynamic layer to its natural charm.
Jinli Ancient Street Integration
After exploring the shrine, exit directly into Jinli Pedestrian Street—a lively recreation of Three Kingdoms-era markets, perfect for Sichuan tea tastings or picking up artisan Shu embroidery souvenirs.
Family – Friendly Exploration
Beyond the terrace, winding trails lead to hidden pavilions, ecological exhibits, and interactive installations explaining the region’s biodiversity. Allocate 1–2 hours to explore the site fully, with shuttle services available for convenience.
