Laochang Bamboo Sea

　　    The Laochang Bamboo Sea includes three small scenic areas: Baiguling, Bamboo Sea, and Zhuxi. It encompasses over 20 attractions, including Seven Sisters, Ancient Post Road, Ancient Papermaking Workshop, Xicaoping Tourist Village, Ancient Maple in the Bamboo Sea, Zhugen Stream, Ten-Mile Zhuxi, Natural Bridge, Dog-Climbing Rock, and Zhuji Bamboo & Timber Village. Located 52 kilometers from the ancient city of Panxian, it sits at an altitude of 2,000 to over 2,400 meters, covering more than 100,000 acres of forested land and nearly 30,000 acres of bamboo groves. The area enjoys an average annual temperature of 15.5°C, with January temperatures above 1.5°C and July temperatures around 22.1°C. Nestled deep within the Wumeng Mountains, the vast bamboo sea undulates across the rolling peaks. It is home to magical bamboo root water believed to have anti-cancer properties, vibrant rhododendron blossoms, crystal-clear natural lakes, and a traditional papermaking technique passed down through over 300 years of generations. The area also boasts authentic folk dances like the Horse-Playing Dance, pristine natural landscapes, rich historical culture, and a refreshing “green spirit.” With swaying bamboo shadows and glistening green waves, the Laochang Bamboo Sea is an ideal destination for leisure, vacation, recuperation, and summer escape.
