    Amid the scorching summer heat, Sichuan Province continues to unveil new distinctive venues for escaping the heat. The Western Sichuan Bamboo Sea Scenic Area, located in Pingle Town, Qionglai City, Chengdu, has released a summer guide featuring refreshing and entertaining activities to welcome visitors.

    On July 28, leveraging the ecological advantages of its 100,000-mu bamboo forest that blocks out the sun and provides natural coolness, two themed events were launched: the "Tour the Cool Bamboo Sea, Explore Jianghu Adventures" traditional Chinese-style experience and the "Pingsha Luoyan: The 14th 'Bring a Guitar to Pingle' Folk Music Season". These events offer fully immersive summer retreat programs encompassing water activities, performances, handicrafts, games, and night tours.

    Scenic Area Landscape

    The traditional Chinese-style experience breaks away from conventional sightseeing models by integrating natural bamboo landscapes with martial arts culture across five designated zones: At Qingyi Pavilion, visitors can wade barefoot, engage in bamboo tube water gun battles, and enjoy stream-chilled fruits; Shuiyue Dongtian features pop-up performances of classic martial arts ballads, Tai Chi sword demonstrations, and bamboo staff routines; Banshan Pavilion hosts watermelon-eating contests and barehanded fish-catching competitions on summer weekends; Tongxi Yunjian focuses on parent-child crafts where participants can polish their own exclusive "Jianghu weapons", such as bamboo swords and bows, and take them home free of charge; and Qiyue Bamboo Corridor offers slide experiences where visitors can win "Jianghu silver notes" through interactive games to participate in the weekend "All Things Auction".

    Program Performance

    As night falls, folk music and the vibrant atmosphere of the ancient town take over. The 14th "Bring a Guitar to Pingle" Folk Music Season will be held every weekend evening throughout the summer at Pingsha Luoyan Music Square, ushering in relaxed summer nights.
