Two-Day Trip to Shimian - Must Check in at Xieluo Xiyale Lodge

🌿 Located in southern Ya'an, Shimian County sits along the middle reaches of the Dadu River. It's a tourist destination known for its ethnic culture. During the spring bloom season, after careful planning, I chose to stay at Xiyale Lodge. 📮 Address: Group 4, Jiangba Village, Xieluo Township, Shimian County, Ya'an City, Sichuan Province. 🚗 Journey: About 3.5-4 hours drive from Chengdu. For lunch, try Yang Pangzi's Sour Fish Soup in Mingshan District. 🌿 Perched on a sacred mountain, Xiyale Lodge offers fresh air and wildflower-covered fields. Its 14 Tibetan-style buildings are arranged in a pleasing pattern. Each room is spacious, perfect for afternoon tea. In the evening, you can soak in your private hot spring pool while stargazing - relaxing and comfortable. 🌿 While staying here, you can enjoy various local specialties and join evening bonfire parties. The main hall features fitness facilities, a bar, and coffee shop - everything you need. The surrounding area boasts pristine forests, alpine meadows, and Dadu River tributaries, ideal for hiking and photography. 🌿 On your return journey, you can buy some of Shimian's special fruits, which taste amazing. Making a detour to Hanyuan County for their beef is absolutely worth it.
