Guang’an enjoys an extensive highway network. Both the total mileage and average density of highways within its territory exceed the national average and the average level of Sichuan Province. The Guang’an–Linshui section of the Guang’an–Chongqing Expressway is open to traffic, and all remaining sections were fully completed before 2004. It takes only one hour to drive from Guang’an to Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport, enabling convenient connections with air transport. After the Guang’an–Nanchong section of the Shanghai–Chengdu Expressway opened to traffic in 2004, the driving time from Guang’an to Chengdu was shortened to merely 2.5 hours. The planned Nanchong–Chongqing Expressway will pass through Wusheng County. Upon completion, every county, city and district under Guang’an will be accessible via expressways, and Guang’an will be fully integrated into the Chengdu-Chongqing-Shanghai tourism economic belt.

Three national highways (G210, G212, G323) pass through Guang’an, alongside four provincial highways including the Shizhu–Nanchong Line, as well as two county-level highways: Yuechi–Wusheng Road and Guang’an–Wusheng Road.

Guang’an Stone Forest is situated at the junction of Guang’an District, Linshui County and Huaying City, southwest of Gaodeng Mountain, covering an area of about 10 square kilometers. The stone forest features countless oddly shaped stone pillars and peaks. Perched on a mountain over 1,600 meters above sea level, the stone forest stands adjacent to the ancient Gaodeng Temple
