On the far north side of Chengdu, Phoenix Mountains Park (Feng Huang Gu Yuan) is a prime location for a long and varied run. There are lots of options here, including a paved 1.3 km “fitness running road.” More than 5 km of other paths and roads circle the park.

Add-On/Longer Run: Add on the paths along the Dongfeng Canal, just north of the park. Runners can also head south to Shahe Park for more mileage.
