How marvelous the fog is, one only realizes upon visiting Wawushan

After going to Wawushan, one discovers that the fog is truly a divine stroke from the creator, gentle and ethereal, a scene that can only be understood through feeling. Departing from Chengdu, a round trip can be done in one day, making it suitable for a day trip for office workers. There's no risk of altitude sickness, it's family-friendly, and the monkeys are gentler than those on Mount Emei. 🚗 Navigation: Wawushan Scenic Area 🎫 Ticket: 276 RMB per person (ticket + cable car, cable car is a must-buy as the mountain is too far) ⏰ Opening hours: 8:00-17:00, suitable for both self-driving and group tours, a day trip excluding cable car costs about 130 RMB. ✅✅ Warm tips: ⭐ Recommended tour route: Turn left out of the cable car - Azalea Garden (Snow Play Area) - Deadwood Path - Carefree Bridge - Mandarin Duck Pond - Cloud Cliff Mirage - Cable car down the mountain, the whole journey is 5.5 kilometers, taking pictures and playing, four hours is enough. ⭐️ If you don't have much physical strength, turn right after getting off the cable car, and just visit the Mandarin Duck Pond and Cloud Cliff Mirage, because although the scenery is beautiful, some of it is repetitive, and there's no need to walk the loop if you're not physically fit. See you in the comments section if you have any questions!

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

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 #travel

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.

The town is small, nestled against the mountain and by the water, with an orderly layout, bluestone street surfaces, and closely set eaves. Most of the streets are single-family small courtyard houses, with narrow street-facing doors and carved windows and doors, exuding a strong historical atmosphere. The unique stilted buildings are also a characteristic of the architecture here, where the residential styles of Western Sichuan and Jingchu blend together, with a unique layout and elegant construction, offering children a glimpse of different architectural features 🌳 The most famous specialty of the ancient town is 'Gaomiao Liquor', a fine spirit brewed from the essence of Mount Er'e, Mount Emei, and Mount Wawu, with clear water quality that fills the entire town with the fragrance of alcohol.

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. - Gao Temple Ancient Town Guangming Road, Hongya County, Meishan City, Sichuan Province 🧭 Navigation from the city area 2h direct drive The car stops in the town You can walk to the stilt house in the direction of the suspension bridge - tips： If you have enough time, it is recommended to arrange a two-day tour around Seven Mile Flat, Wawu Mountain, Liujiang Ancient Town can be arranged...

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!
