About Tulugou National Forest Park

Explore Tulugou National Forest Park in Yongdeng County, a river-carved gorge of dense conifer forest, alpine meadows, and clear streams. Boardwalk trails wind through the valley, with wildflowers in summer and colorful foliage in autumn.

Highlights

• Explore dense forests, alpine meadows, and the scenic Tulugou gorge carved by the Dachuan River. • Hike wooden boardwalk trails through mixed conifer forest and grassland clearings. • Autumn foliage and summer wildflowers are the best seasons.

Suggested Route

Begin at the visitor center, follow the riverside boardwalk to the upper gorge, then loop back via the forest trail; allow 3-4 h.

Food & Lodging

Simple farmhouse restaurants near the entrance serve hand-pulled noodles and local lamb; basic guesthouses and the park lodge offer overnight stays.

Facilities

Parking, restrooms, a visitor center, and a small dining area; steep trails limit wheelchair access.

Travel Tips

Wear layers as mountain weather can change quickly. Photography is best in golden hour.
