The morning is cool as your guide meets you in Chengdu and the city falls away behind the van. The road to Mount Qingcheng winds into low mountains, where moss-dark roofs and quiet courtyards appear through bamboo and fir. A golf cart shuttles you to the park gate; soon the air smells of wet stone and wood smoke as you begin a steady half-hour climb toward Moon City Lake and the cable car.
