Wawushan Mountain Area Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
wushan Mountain
Because I slept until I naturally woke up, I didn't get to Wawushan Mountain until noon. After taking two cable car rides to the summit, even though the altitude is 2800 meters, the sunshine was bright and I didn't feel cold. The blue sky and white clouds are a natural healing presence, and the crunching snow underfoot was refreshing! At the observation deck, looking up at the sacred Mount Gongga, it truly deserves the title of 'King of the Shu Mountains', with its majestic and robust presence standing tall among the clouds, I was in awe. Walking further, I came across the 'Lantern Trail' (a name I coined myself), this part of the trail was always under the sunlight, without ice and snow, and both sides were adorned with lanterns, probably for the Spring Festival. Holding a lantern, I made a wish for a lifetime of happiness. Reaching the Mandarin Duck Pond, the water was shimmering. It's actually a lake but is called a pond, perhaps because it seems petite on Wawushan Mountain. The lake under the blue sky and white clouds is always beautiful, and aside from the water, the side near Taiqing Palace was half-frozen, maybe it's because of the serene atmosphere, which invites contemplation. On a whim, I left the flat trail and took a mountain path where the snow was deeper. I wasn't careful and my phone fell to the ground, sliding down five or six steps, but luckily the case was thick and it wasn't damaged. The mountain path was shorter in distance but not in time, yet the scenery was uniquely beautiful. It takes 3 hours to complete the loop at the top of Wawushan Mountain. Due to time constraints, I didn't get to see the ice waterfall, leaving something to yearn for, I'll come back next tim
Wawushan - A treasure scenic spot worth checking in
Bring your favorite person, the scenery here is uniquely beautiful.
I have been to Wawushan many times, the scenery is beautiful and the people are even more beautiful. Sichuan's love for snow is something that can't be hidden. And Wawushan offers you a snow season that is serene and quite forest-like.
It takes about three hours to drive from Chengdu, take the cable car up the mountain, and be sure to bring warm clothing and photography equipment.
Of course, unless you have a high budget or want a comfortable trip, it is recommended to stay at the foot of the mountain. You can also enjoy a hot spring bath in the evening. If you are on a limited budget, then just stop by and go up. Staying in the towns along the way or in the city are both good choices.
Don't miss the snowy world in the south~

I really didn't go to Xinjiang! Just around Chengdu!!
I really didn't expect that there is such a fairy tale world around Chengdu
Wawushan is really super dreamy, and I arrived in the ice and snow kingdom in a second❄️
Rime, waterfall, snow mountain, sea of clouds, few people and beautiful scenery 🌲
Recommended scenic spot: Lanxi Waterfall 💦 Must go!
The round trip is about 6.7 kilometers, and we walked for 5 hours (maybe because the snow road is harder to walk)
It takes about 3 and a half hours to leave Chengdu in the morning🚗
If the time is tight, you can actually come back in one day
I met Sun Wukong 🐒 when I went down the mountain
The fruit grabbing is really scary😭
👗 Dressing tips:
It is recommended that you can wear some bright clothes for better pictures
The shoes are best to be non-slip
Be sure to bring a hat and earmuffs, the temperature on the mountain is relatively low, and the hair is all frozen
🎫: Tickets➕Two sections of cable car

China·Meishan Qiliping Tourist Resort Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
There is always an impulse to escape from the city, return to nature, and come to a trip.
On May 1st, I went to Qiliping in Emei Banshan to open the resort mode. The reason for choosing Qiliping is very simple. The mountains are surrounded by green trees and rich in natural oxygen. You can let people put down their mobile computers, revel in the 24 degree glaze of Qiliping in the 30 degrees north latitude, return to nature and enjoy every gift from nature.
The most simple folk customs, the greenest ingredients, the freshest air ~ these gifts, not only healthy, but also very joyful, deep in the Emei Banshan Qiliping.
Tao Yuanming's life is no longer a delusion. You can find the answer in Qiliping, Emei Mountain. I have a chance, I will come again.
I am going to play snow in the winter, Qiliping:
1 There are ice and snow scenery, hot springs in the snow ~
2 Night hot springs have performances, and beautiful dream light show!
3 In addition to the hot springs, there is still a lot to eat! Plank Road, town, campsite, etc. ~
Before recommending Qiliping everyone's response is not bad, should everyone's voice, today, the restaurant that I have eaten in the scenic spot is for everyone to oh~
Food:
(Figure 34) The first meal of Qiliping is to eat [hanging chicken], the restaurant is very interesting, a tent in the ice and snow, a curtain is a compartment, I thought about Sitting inside for a while may be cold to snoring, who knows that there is a baking pot at the bottom of the table, and the whole meal is warm and mellow. It is delicious, and you can eat the difference between half-hill chicken and chicken. Perhaps it is the usual feeding of whole grains and can be run all over the mountains. The chicken tastes delicious and very chewy.
(Fig. 567) The second tasting is the [Black Tree Village Western Restaurant] in Qiliping.
The restaurant is decorated with great care and the details are very lovely. Two salads, mushroom soup, three-point steak, one lamb chops and one onion ring were ordered. The taste of each dish is very good, subverting the concept that the scenic spot can only make do with eating.
(Fig. 89) The last meal is [Organic Chinese Restaurant]
ordered a few home-cooked dishes. The favorite is to stir-fry the waist, three to five and two to empty the plate after the end of the meaning is still not added to the Pan Gong Bao chicken and fried pork. The dishes are all from the organic farms in the Mid-Levels. Every bite is fresh and delicious~
Your baby's beauty sends a TIPS
The most interesting half-mountain lifestyle is: a hot spring at night, a walk in the forest with a fresh air during the day, and a snowball with friends!
Super like these snowy cedar forests in Qiliping, completely no worse than the scenery abroad, casually shoot is a blockbuster! Where do I need to fly to distant Switzerland~
After halfway through, I told my mom that summer is definitely cool and beautiful, my mom said that although it is cold, it has different seasons that are not available in other seasons. nice. It is also said that the moment is life, the moment is the scenery.
Liujiang Old Town Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
Old town of Lijang | Yunnan culture 🏔️
Pictures speak louder than words ✌️
Lijiang is a nice place but a bit too touristy already. Been there two times now and it’s always fun to stroll around, although two days are more then enough. Best you get a rental car and just drive around and explore the mountains, rivers, nature and cultures in villages close by.
Getting There - cab, bus, train
Attractions - old town, although already very touristy
Hotels - small boutique hotels inside the city, plenty of options all around
Food & Restaurants - local options, commercialized but still some local vendors can be found at the corner of the old town

Gaomiao Ancient Town Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
Gao Temple Ancient Town | An ancient town forgotten by the world
| An ancient town forgotten by the world. A forgotten old street ancient town
The whole ancient town is not big
It can even be described as small
Perhaps for this reason
It has not been overly commercialized
What attracted me here is this red stilt house on the cliff and the iron rope bridge.
The red stilt house was built to commemorate the seven People's Liberation Army soldiers who went to Hongya County to carry out the suppression of bandits and grain collection work, and they sacrificed heroically one after another, hence the name "Seven Martyrs". The Seven Martyrs Memorial Hall was built in their memory.
The whole is a stilt house structure, there are benches made of ancient wood in the Martyrs Pavilion, surrounded by green trees, very suitable for summer cool and rest. The statue of the martyr stands in the northwest corner of the Martyrs Pavilion, silently narrating the story of the hero, and there are also reliefs and inscriptions of the seven martyrs on the side of the hall.
The iron rope bridge connected to the Seven Martyrs Memorial Hall is the life bridge of the ancient town, with a history of hundreds of years. The stream under the bridge is clear, the ancient trees on both sides are towering, lush and green, and it looks like a scroll from a distance, which is very beautiful.

The forgotten mountain ancient town--Gao Miao ancient town
With the desire to get away from the concrete jungle and calm down, we drove to the forgotten Gao Miao. Originally, we just wanted to take a photo with the Spirited Away building, but we were intoxicated by its slowness and quietness. It's like a gentle Jiangnan woman, telling stories. If you come to Gao Miao, why not stay for a couple of days and be a resident of the ancient town in the mountains.
Gao Miao ancient town is located in Hongya County, Meishan, built in the late Ming Dynasty, with a history of about 700 years. It is one of the best preserved mountain ancient towns. The wooden green tile houses and stilted buildings on both sides of the ancient street can be seen everywhere. The old streets and lanes, the green bricks and grey tiles, all write the vicissitudes of the ancient town.
Perhaps the mountainous terrain has created her rainy climate, making the whole ancient town even more quiet. The 'ancient' here is not only in the architecture, but also in the people. For some reason, almost all the people left in the town are middle-aged and elderly. In the evening, when the street lights are on, they sit in pairs, chatting about their daily lives, which reminds people of the time when they were children, listening to the adults' chattering on the grass, a kind of rare, primitive happiness! The last time I had this feeling was in Zhaoxing Dong Village.
There are very few tourists here, so there is really no worldly commercial atmosphere. The town is famous for its Gao Miao liquor and bamboo weaving. There are many bamboo goods shops and the smell of liquor is everywhere. I accidentally found the handmade Xu Liu Niang chili soy sauce, which is also a specialty. Two-day tour itinerary:
Day 1: Wawu Mountain--Accommodation: (1) If you like the quietness of the mountains, stay in Gao Miao ancient town. I highly recommend Qiaoxi Mountain House, which has an excellent location. You can see the Spirited Away building when you open the window, and feel the greenery of the mountains.
(2) If you like a slightly lively ancient town, stay in Liujiang ancient town, but it is another kind of beauty of Jiangnan water town.
Day 2: Liujiang ancient town→←Gao Miao ancient town (depending on the place of accommodation the night before)
Dress: Republic of China, ancient costume, white dress, artistic clothes are more photogenic.
★Use: Mosquito repellent, there are many mosquitoes in the mountains.
Fishing rod, there is a small stream to satisfy fishing enthusiasts. Water play equipment, you can play in the water. I went in May, the water is shallow and green, but if it is the flood season in summer, it is not recommended!

① Ganzi Aba, Sichuan Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan
Located in Xiaojin County, Aba Prefecture, this hidden gem offers colorful forests, streams, snow-capped mountains, lakes, and even a chance to see the sunrise over the golden mountain! I really love Western Sichuan, it surprises you in different ways throughout the year.
② Fuxing Village, Hongya, Hongya Yunshang Renjia Homestay
Not far from Yannv Lake and Wawushan, Fuxing Village, one of the most beautiful villages in Sichuan recommended by National Geographic. If you can't make it to Xinjiang, come here! ||| A substitute for Xinjiang! A great place for a weekend getaway, perfect for water activities and taking the kids out.
③ Leshan Sotetsu Canyon, Sotetsu Canyon Scenic Area
Named after its nearly 50,000 Sotetsu trees, the history of Sotetsu dates back to the Jurassic period, the same era as dinosaurs. Sotetsu was one of the main foods of herbivorous dinosaurs. You can imagine many dinosaurs roaming, living, and reproducing here. 🌴 If you like less popular outdoor routes, you will definitely like this place. It's just over 2 hours' drive from Chengdu, explore the real-life Jurassic Park!
In the gorge of the gorge, there are 80,000 national rare and rare plants, which are the same as the dinosaurs. It has a history of 200 million years. Seeing such a large piece of ancient plants in the canyon, there is a feeling of entering the Jurassic Park, and the dinosaurs are worse.
Overlaying the overlapping green umbrellas, the canyon is shaded and charming. The air in the canyon is fresh, the visibility of the scenic spot is not high, and there are very few tourists. It is very enjoyable to walk in the canyon and enjoy this beautiful scenery. If you want to stagger the crowds on holidays, this is also a good choice.
