It looks like a newly built area, with houses made of stone, which is quite interesting. The commercial street is small, but the scenery is nice. Although the lake is a bit small, the foot of Yulong Mountain is still very beautiful. It's worth a visit.
The top of the mountain was closed due to heavy snow, so I didn't go to the highest point. There were many people, but there was no altitude sickness. The scenery was charming, the snow was falling, and it was white. It is worth recommending to go there. It is much cheaper to rent clothes in Lijiang Ancient Town.

The room was spacious and bright, the twin beds were comfortable, and the details were meticulously cleaned! I felt instantly relaxed. A special shout-out to the front desk staff, Zhang Wantong and Chen Menghan. Their attentive and professional service, proactively helping with route planning and patient guidance, made my entire trip a lot easier. Bihai Villa is a truly cost-effective choice, and I'll definitely stay here again when I visit Putuo! I highly recommend it to my friends!
Although it was 40 degrees Celsius, the guided tour was so informative that I didn't feel the heat at all, especially since the children were very interested. The scenery inside is beautiful, and the greenery is abundant, so walking around wasn't tiring at all. If you're traveling to Chengdu with children, I personally think it's worth a visit, preferably with a guide.

Drive to zero kilometer, take the scenic bus up the mountain, walk a distance to the cable car, and walk a distance to the top of the mountain. The whole journey is relatively easy. On a cloudy day, taking the cable car on the mountain feels like traveling through the clouds. The next morning, I didn't see the sunrise but there was a beautiful sea of clouds. As a tourist attraction, the experience is okay, but as a Buddhist holy place, I feel that there is no Buddhist culture and it is too commercial.
To date, I've climbed Mount Emei five times. People often say, "Even if I want to buy osmanthus flowers and wine with them, it's never the same as when I was young." This resonates deeply with me! When I first saw Mount Emei, I felt it was just a mountain, a mountain that would end once I climbed it. Back then, I was full of vigor and ambition, unaware of the hardships of life...
My second ascent, after the hardships, left me unwilling to give up. A young man in high spirits, this was the ultimate testament to my supernatural powers...
My third ascent, I wanted to rival the heavens for height. Back then, I was so proud and galloping, I could see all the flowers in Chang'an in a single day...

There are so many people, it's crowded. I took my children to learn about the Three Kingdoms culture. The explanation on Ctrip is very cost-effective. The transportation is convenient, but the luggage storage is very expensive, 10 yuan for two hours.
There were so many people! I haven't stayed in such a comfortable hotel in a long time. From the moment the front desk lady called to inquire about my arrival time until I left the next morning, this was the best Hanting Hotel I've ever stayed in. The front desk lady was incredibly friendly and even provided breakfast. Since we arrived late, I even asked them to wash and dry my clothes. The room layout, amenities, and cleanliness were also excellent. Five-star rating, highly recommended!

ช่วงที่ไปคนเยอะมาก เด็กเยอะ เดินขึ้นบันไดเยอะ เดินลงบันไดเยอะ ไม่มีสิ่งอำนวยความสะดวกสำหรับผู้พิการ ป้ายบอกทางมีชัดเจนดี มีเป็นภาษาอังกฤษแต่เจ้าหน้าที่ พูดแต่จีน ไม่ยอมพูดภาษาอังกฤษด้วย สำหรับคนต่างชาติที่ ต้องการไป ก็เข้าที่ north gate เลนขวาสุด จะมีเจ้าหน้าที่จะเอาพาสปอร์ตไปเช็คให้ค่ะ ถ้าใครอยากเที่ยวต่อที่ใกล้ๆกันเลยก็คือ Oriental Buddha Capital ค่าเข้า 80 หยวน
Entering from the east gate, it's a short walk to the Buddha's head. It's especially crowded in the summer, so waiting in line for half an hour to get to the foot platform can be quite long. The area is quite large, and exploring it completely would probably take a whole day. Just visiting the several Buddha heads and the main temples would take five or six hours. There are plenty of restaurants just outside the entrance for food.

I've long heard of Mount Qingcheng, and when visiting Chengdu, how could I not climb it?
The weather wasn't kind, and it rained heavily. Although I was soaked, Mount Qingcheng is even more breathtaking in the rain.
Mount Qingcheng is divided into two scenic areas: the Front Mountain and the Back Mountain. The Front Mountain is primarily devoted to Taoist culture, while the Back Mountain is dominated by natural landscapes.
The steps on Mount Qingcheng are steep, narrow, and somewhat continuous. The climb to the summit involves several steep, steep sections, which is quite steep. This makes the scenery seem even more profound. Along the way, towering ancient trees and gurgling streams are seen. Occasionally, large and small waterfalls hang from the cliffs, and clouds and mist billow. The ancient architecture and Taoist culture complement each other beautifully, and the moss-covered roofs give off a sense of age.
You can ascend the Front Mountain by cable car, which is easier, but you won't be able to see the ancient buildings. Alternatively, you can hike up and down the mountain, following a clockwise loop without backtracking. This method is more physically demanding and the descent is steeper and more challenging than the ascent, which can be tough on your knees. I chose to climb up the mountain and take the cable car down, so I could see almost all the cultural attractions and climb the mountain. Oh, and there is a small Yuecheng Lake there. The boat ticket is 5 yuan one way. If your legs are shaking after coming down the mountain, you can go out this way and save some climbing.
The entire journey takes 5-6 hours. We took a sightseeing bus from the high-speed rail station directly to the scenic spot (20 yuan per person, 35 yuan round trip, about 3 kilometers, and the only transportation available is the sightseeing bus. Hey, think about it, it's basically the ticket price plus 35 yuan, because there's no other option. You can walk, but there's a big hill ahead, plus the 6 kilometers... every step is calculated for you). From the foot of the mountain to Laojun Pavilion at the top, it took us about 3.5 hours. The scenery along the way is quite beautiful, but there are a few sections of the road that are extremely narrow and steep, with tourists crowded together "hanging" on the steep slopes, which can be a bit dangerous. The road is also slippery, and I saw several people fall along the way, including myself. Be careful with children. Snacks are the only food available, and they're quite expensive, but you'll definitely need to eat after 5-6 hours, so consider your own discretion. There's also a cable car, and a 5-minute ride can save you about an hour of walking. The overall evaluation is okay, the scenery is worth a visit, but as for the operation of the scenic spot, hehe, it's just like what I said before, we have calculated every aspect of your trip for you, so just pay.

The scenic area shuttle bus goes directly to the top, and it's quite relaxing to play at each stop. The weather is good and it's very photogenic. There are food for sale in the scenic area, and the smoked ribs are delicious. You must go and experience the rafting, it's very beautiful!
After returning from Jiuzhaigou, I went to Siguniang Mountain. I was worried that the scenery would be the same, but I thought too much. The Shuangqiao Valley in Siguniang Mountain is surrounded by mountains on all sides. It is so spectacular. I wonder how beautiful it will be in winter. The nanny car on the way back was quite spacious and parked in the ground parking lot. It was very convenient to park in Yipintianxia when returning to Chengdu.

Highly recommend Hang Yi Mo in Tiger Leaping Gorge!!!
[Mint] Ambience: I have to admit, the locations of many scenic area cafes are really 💯. Take Hang Yi Mo's second-floor terrace for example. The view of Tiger Leaping Gorge is absolutely stunning [thumbs up]
[Tips] Must-try: Since there are no à la carte restaurants in Tiger Leaping Gorge, I simply bought a few 🍞s and had lunch in the cafe [clever]
[Fireworks] New: The doorway design on the second-floor terrace is absolutely perfect for taking life photos! Don't miss it! Even if there are people around, wait or just say hello and go up to take a photo! There are also 🐅 ornaments that can be used as photo props [applause]
[Pushpin] Transportation and Parking: Traffic at Tiger Leaping Gorge is incredibly congested during peak tourist season! There's only one road from Lijiang, so we waited in line for over an hour for the last two kilometers to the visitor center! Temporary parking is available during peak season, and a 5 RMB parking fee is payable on the spot when you redeem your ticket. If you're taking a chartered car, be sure to have the driver pay, or have them pay the fee directly.
[Travel Tips] Tour Tips: There's absolutely no need to buy a round-trip elevator! Remember! Going down is incredibly easy, and it only feels like you're at the bottom in about 10 minutes! However, it's worth buying the elevator for the upper section on the way back, as there are photo ops at each elevator connecting platform. [Smart][Smart][Smart]

Lugu Lake is beautiful, but the entrance fee is inexplicable. There are said to be many ways to evade the entrance fee, so why do they charge it? What kind of service does the scenic spot provide for the 70 yuan? None. Cars are parked randomly, there are no parking spaces, and garbage is left everywhere. Don't waste such a beautiful natural resource. And all other attractions still require separate tickets.
A soul-stirring experience at Lugu Lake! Climb aboard the Mosuo people's unique pig trough boats, and you'll feel like you've become part of this landscape painting. The waters are crystal clear, and the oars slice through the emerald waves, creating a tranquil and soothing experience. The boatman, a warm and friendly man, steers the boat steadily while introducing Mosuo culture and interesting stories about the lake, like an old friend. As the boat sails through the center of the lake, surrounded by mountains, the blue sky and white clouds reflected in the water are breathtakingly beautiful! This is an unmissable experience to experience the pristine charm of Lugu Lake and the Mosuo culture, and it's absolutely worth the price of admission! 🌙

This scenic spot is at a high altitude, so I was mentally prepared. However, when I got off the scenic bus, I was a little daunted to learn that it was around 4,000 meters above sea level. I opted for the shorter route up, walking slowly, taking breaks, and finally completing the tour. I saw the snow-capped mountains, lakes, dense forests, and temples. It was a worthwhile trip, but I personally think that the cost of the 530 yuan ticket for two people and the cost of the scenic bus was not worth it. If your body allows, you can take the longer or shorter route, but that's another matter.
The short route is very beautiful. I took the battery car for half and walked for the other half. It was not tiring and the scenery was beautiful. I went to Chonggu Temple and then climbed up to see Baoxin Lake. It was more than 800 meters and it was really tiring. There were several rest stops along the way where squirrels and birds were waiting for you to feed them, which made me energetic again.
