It’s only a 2-hour drive from Chengdu~ 🏡 Yuepeng Forest Resort Hotel Hui Shangli Ancient Town, Yucheng District, Ya'an City

Because it's addictive. I discovered a newly opened hotel with an exotic decoration style around Chengdu, so I went there. Address: Next to Shangli Ancient Town, Yucheng District, Ya'an City Hotel Name: Yuepeng Forest Resort Hotel The hotel has five types of rooms, each with its own characteristics. I recommend everyone to try the pool suite. The room is very spacious, and the simple and stylish design style is something you'll fall in love with at first sight. The large floor-to-ceiling windows and a projector allow you to lie in bed and see the tropical-style swimming pool outside the window, making you feel delighted, as if you are on vacation in Southeast Asia. The hotel's treehouse private hot spring is a must-try, and you need to book in advance. It's very photogenic, and there are also lawn afternoon tea, horse riding, an ins-style constant temperature swimming pool, barbecue parties, etc., all of which are the hotel's signature experiences worth checking in for. The hotel service is excellent. Upon arrival at the hotel, the staff will warmly offer you snacks and fruits, help with luggage, and the hotel breakfast is an a la carte system. You order in advance, and the next morning the staff will carefully prepare it for you, so you just sit and eat. A very satisfying hotel experience

Finally, I found a good place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy life. I spent a pleasant weekend in Wild Rose Village in Ya'an, near Zhugong Mountain. The geothermal hot springs here are famous. Wild Rose Village Hot Spring The hot spring pool outlet of Wild Rose Village is the famous 'First Soup of West Sichuan', Zhugong Mountain Hot Spring. The well is 3475 meters deep and the outlet water temperature reaches over 80°C, which is high-quality medical hot mineral water. Zhugong Mountain Hot Spring was formed 30,000 years ago and is a high-quality medical hot mineral spring with a daily output of 5000 tons. Experts call it the 'First Soup of West Sichuan'! Room The standalone small house has a large and very private space. The room has floor heating. The housekeeper turned on the floor heating before we arrived, which was super considerate. There is also a 'bed opening ceremony' at night, which is very ceremonial. I slept especially well that night. Each room has a unique view. I chose the mountain view parent-child room with a natural sulfur hot spring pool. After soaking in it, I knew it was not heated water. It was private and comfortable. It's been a long time since I've encountered such a pure hot spring. Food Private dishes from the Flower Field Kitchen are arranged according to the guests' tastes and time. The dishes are very rustic but not lacking in taste. The main theme is green, healthy and fresh. Here, I experienced exotic afternoon tea, Turkish stove hot sand tea, handmade desserts and dried fruits. The coffee or black tea is simmered in a sand stove, which makes it particularly fragrant. Facilities In addition to the hot springs, the village also has a mountain tea room, Fangfei Archery Hall, Manshu Zen Room, Jinshi Workshop, Fangliao SPA, Huazhi Pavilion, Huaxin Fengye Garden, etc. In the Fangfei Secret Realm full of love and beauty, enjoy a refined life and winter tourism. Experience Living here, the sense of ceremony is absolutely full. Children's favorite handcraft classes, making candles and soaps, the lamp lighting ceremony before dark, outdoor movies before the moonlit bonfire. The morning awakening ceremony, please be sure to experience it. Other activities need to be discovered and experienced by yourself. In short, being a villager here for a day, there are always surprises.

Next to Zhongong Mountain Forest Park|Chaji Wind Villa is going to Ya'an recently. Don't miss this treasure homestay. This homestay has always been a small popular net red shop. Many guests can't help but take a few beautiful photos because the design of the homestay is really too out of the picture. Whether in the room, soup pool, or the corner of the stairs, the pure color matching with the scenery can always make a big picture. ◆ Zhongong Resting Moon Homestay 1 Located next to Ya'an Zhongong Mountain National Forest Park, 30 minutes drive from Bifeng Gorge and Shangli Ancient Town, not only has a beautiful scenery, fresh oxygen, superior environment, ins holiday style swimming pool, sunken design area for afternoon tea, Chaji wind room, easy to check in various attractions in Ya'an. 2 The interior is an art space dominated by Chaji wind design.

⛰️Mengding Mountain in Ya'an, Sichuan, is known as 'Yugong Mengshan' because of the footprints of Xia Yu, and is known as the 'hometown of fairy tea' for its tribute 'royal tea'; it is also known as a 'tourist attraction' for its beautiful scenery. Searching for the fragrance of Mengding tea and seeing the ten thousand mu tea garden make Mengding Mountain a place where many tourists linger, and some people even choose to stay here for a month or so, to cleanse their lungs and taste tea carefully. 🌸And at the foot of Mengding Mountain is Huajiantang·Chamasi, which is the best place to relax and vacation. It seems to be a continuous hidden mountain village built by the mountains in Jin Yong's martial arts world. On the half-slope of the mountain, there are all scattered and orderly independent courtyards, with black tiles and white walls, wooden beams and stone bricks. 🚪Through the long wooden plank road of the gate, the wooden boards under your feet creak and creak, making an ancient sound. Walking into the lobby, the unique courtyard skylight design fills up the first impression. Because it is an independent courtyard distributed on the mountainside🏘️, there will be shuttle buses to pick up and drop off. 🏡Pushing the door into the room, there is even more a 'wow' sound. This exclamation is an exclamation of the space layout, an admiration for the elegant design, and a joy for the elegant style. Everything is too in place, simple, exquisite, elegant, such an independent courtyard room, is like a poetic dwelling place for the hidden world of knights. Bathtub, tatami, balcony, indoor skylight, everything is so perfect. 🍂In autumn, the green flower beds, red maple leaves, and yellow ginkgo trees dye the entire hotel into a colorful painting🖼️, plus the scattered distribution of houses with white walls and black tiles, walking among them, it is like walking in the mountain villa where Wang Yuyan of Gusu Mountain lives. 🍛The breakfast is rich in variety, the noodles are really fragrant, comparable to the variety of star hotels. ♨️The most important thing is that here, you can basically not leave the hotel, all your activities are included. Get up in the morning to pick vegetables in the tea mountain, wake up in the afternoon to go to the front hall to participate in the handmade sachet, tea ceremony incense course. After a night walk, listen to a live concert in the courtyard at the door, all the fun, all in one, this is the meaning of the house hotel. 【tips】 🅿️The hotel has its own parking lot, just register your license plate number 🐶The hotel is pet-friendly, feel free to bring your pet to stay, but safety first! 📌Ya'an City, Mingshan District, Huajiantang·Chamasi

Time flies, winter is coming Come and feel the breath of the mountains and enjoy a poetic life This is a secluded place near Wawushan Town, at the foot of Haizi Mountain. The moment you arrive, you will have: The B&B is surrounded by green trees and mountains, with a quiet environment and fresh air. In the cold winter, it is surrounded by green trees. The hustle and bustle of the city is all behind me, leaving only the feeling of relaxation in the mountains. But each room is fully equipped with modern facilities. In addition to the front desk and guest rooms, there is a "specialty restaurant" and a chess and card room, a swimming pool, a barbecue bonfire, etc. Most of the ingredients used in the restaurant are locally sourced. When dining, the entire mountain view is used as the background, as if you are dining in the embrace of nature.

Ya'an is really my treasure back garden🌹 The thousand-year-old charm of Mengding's fragrance is natural and refreshing The feeling always makes me linger The Caoyanshushe where we stayed this time is a room hidden in the tea mountain. If my friend hadn't recommended this B&B to me, I would have really missed it! Highly recommend the room we stayed in: Mengyu The loft design has a great sense of space. The large flat windows on the second floor Looking at the green mountains and rivers, my mood is also relaxed Take a dip in the private hot spring at night in the flickering candlelight This is the feeling of relaxation in the mountains without being disturbed Facing the tea mountains with thousands of acres of land 🍃 accompanied by mountain fog and bird sounds There is also an independent courtyard here 🏠 It can be used for group building or travel with friends and relatives If you are tired of escaping from the city, come and live in the mountains for a few days!

It takes two hours from Chengdu to Ya'an to get out of the bustling city and come to the peaceful Shangguli Town. Take advantage of the tail end of October and relax your mood~ From the entrance of the ancient town, you can see a Southeast Asian-style resort hotel surrounded by forests. The fresh air makes people feel very happy. The reason why I chose this place is because the environment is good. Walking forward from the stone road is a large lawn where you can camp or barbecue. Not only that, there are also private swimming pools and horse farms available for use. It feels like you are in a tourist destination in Thailand in the next second~ If you don't want to go to the swimming pool, there is an even more surprising private hot spring. Make an appointment in advance and the staff will arrange everything for you. Light a bonfire in the evening and soak in the private hot spring. The atmosphere is full and you will feel that all the fatigue in your body has dissipated with the warm spring water. The hotel has 5 types of room types. This time we stayed in the Moriye Family Suite. The two-bedroom and one-living room suite is perfect for us with children. The room includes two bathrooms and a living room, but what I am most satisfied with is the terrace. There is a large bathtub there. It is pleasant and healing to enjoy the night sky while taking a bath. We don't need to worry about the food. Not only will there be snacks delivered after check-in, but also breakfast for the next day. You can order it in advance and eat it early in the morning. The breakfast is exquisite and delicious, and the service is also great. The sun shines through the mountains and forests, embraces the wind from the mountains and water, gives life to time, and encounters another small happiness.

💜 Wild Rose Village is a village that has formed a unique lifestyle around "hot spring bathing"💝, the hot springs in the village come from the famous "First Soup in Western Sichuan" Zhougong Mountain Hot Spring, "three baths a day" is a unique lifestyle here🛀🏻, it is also the spiritual pursuit of comfort, regeneration, and meditation for the villagers of Rose Village. 💚 In the village, you can see various "hot spring healing" experience points everywhere, such as Huanhua Soup Spring, Spring Eye Park, Canyon Hot Spring, Hot Spring Meditation House, Foot Bath Corridor, etc., which can let the hot spring flow under your feet at any time👣", at the same time, there are specially built two-color soup houses, soup gardens, Fangfei Mountain View Hot Spring Courtyard and other private soup accommodation spaces🛁 Things related to hot spring healing📝 ✨ After a certain time of a single bath, even if you soak for a longer time, the healing effect will not change, so it is recommended that the single bath time should not exceed 30 minutes; ✨ In hot spring healing, soaking three to four times a day is the best🛀🏻, taking a nap and resting for an hour after the bath has the best healing effect✔, but avoid soaking in the hot spring immediately after getting up; ✨ Please do not soak in the hot spring on an empty stomach or just after eating⚠️, because sweating when soaking in the hot spring, loss of salt in the body, and reduced gastric juice can easily cause indigestion, so it is best to leave an hour before and after meals; ✨ The bath pool can promote metabolism and consume energy. Soaking in the bath for 5 minutes consumes about 15 or 12 kilocalories, which is the same as the calories consumed by skipping rope for five minutes, and more than twice that consumed by walking.

After staying in the city for a long time, you always want to escape the hustle and bustle, Looking for a secret place to relax, taking advantage of the weekend, and experiencing the slow life that people yearn for with the children. We accidentally found a healing homestay in the tea garden to avoid the crowd, Hidden in the tea garden, the birds and flowers are like a paradise. Enjoy a pleasant afternoon tea with the children ☕️, read some books in the book bar, sit on the swing and listen to the birds and smell the flowers, this is not only the poetry and distance that city people yearn for, but also a good place for children to experience childhood fun. Drink a warm stomach soup pot at night, and then take a bath 🛀, It's really the slow life in yearning! 🍃: Cao Yan Su She 🍃: Group 6, Qilong Village, Hongxing Town, Mingshan District, Ya'an City

The beautiful mountain ranges of Sichuan always awe me. The Huanglong Mountains (also known as the Yellow Dragon Mountains) range from 1000m to 5000m in altitude and are known for their diverse mountain scenery and relatively undisturbed forest and karst ecosystems surrounding it. It is home to many endangered species including the giant panda and the Sichuan golden snub-nosed monkey. However, because of the high altitude, there is a major lack of oxygen up on the mountains. Visitors are advised to bring oxygen bottles to prevent altitude sickness. Regardless, if you are looking for a fun hike with a jaw dropping view, definitely visit Huanglong! You will not be disappointed. 📍Huanglong, Aba, Sichuan

#中国大陆景点 There are less than 60 giant pandas in captivity at the Bifengxia Giant Panda Breeding Base in Ya'an. Usually, tourists can see more than 20 pandas, including those that have been loaned to foreign zoos. The world's first giant panda was discovered in the Jiajin Mountain area of ​​Baoxing County under the jurisdiction of Ya'an. This was also the first snow-capped mountain crossed by the Red Army during the Long March. I went there when the breeding base was first built. I remember there were more than 60 of them at that time. Maybe the number started to decrease after the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008. #Sichuan #Wildlife #Panda #Giant Panda Pavilion #Breakfast #Tree #Panda Climbing the Tree #Bamboo #Leisure #Ecology

While most people think of Chengdu when planning a trip to Sichuan province, there is a hidden gem just one hour South of the city! Ya'an is a small city packed with cultural sites, natural treasures, and historic importance. Head to Chengdu West station to catch a high speed train to Ya'an and arrive at the train station. From there you'll want to go to the Bifengxia Panda Center! It is a joint project with the Chengdu Panda Base but is far less busy than the one in Chengdu. It is located high in the mountains near a raging river that is beautiful by its own right. The drive up is magical and you can enjoy views of the unique foliage here. There is a small village near the Panda center where you can enjoy a meal at one of their homesteads which use only fresh produce grown and raised on the properties. In Ya'an you can also visit Shangli Ancient Village which shows what Sichuan would have looked like in dynasties past. #travelinspiration#deliciousfood#naturalwonders#hiking#culturalattraction#zoo

I have come to Ya'an for so many times, and I have come to Qinglan Lake for the first time. Many people may not know it here. After all, it is a late development, and it is a small attraction. Lake is as famous as it is, calm as a mirror, the reflection is clearly visible, the breeze is sloppy, it is blowing, it is very comfortable. However, it is not a natural lake, but a reservoir and aquaculture base. It is also a new provincial wetland park, so it has abundant animal and plant resources and the air is very good. Many people are fishing on the side, and there are egrets flying in the distance. It is indeed a good place to go around, and dont want tickets!

Mengding Mountain is a scenic spot with a very high degree of experience. In addition to the Buddha worship and the fresh air, you can also walk in the canopy to go through the jungle. However, since Mengding Mountain is a sacred mountain of tea culture, it is natural to have a tea-related experience. Here you can watch kung fu tea techniques and tea performances. Baiwen is worse than seeing it. Its better to have a try. How can you enjoy it? Its interesting to learn how to make straw shoes and experience tea in the Song Dynasty. It is said that Japanese matcha is also learned from this time, so we have to know more about it.

1. 📍 Ya'an Shangli Ancient Town. On the way to Bifengxia Wild Animal Park, I chose the Ya'an Hampton by Hilton Forest Resort. The hotel is very close to Shangli Ancient Town, only a few minutes' drive away, and it's a half-hour drive to Bifengxia. 2. ‼️ This hotel is perfect for team building/friend gatherings/families with children. It has an outdoor swimming pool 🏊, a gym, a horse farm, and a camping area. The atmosphere is fantastic when the lights are on at night. It's very relaxing to sit on the lawn with friends, drinking and chatting. 3. ♨️ The [Private Hot Spring] everyone cares about most! Our room type included a one-hour private hot spring experience. You need to book a time with the butler in advance, and they will provide afternoon tea. The separate charge is CNY 298. I recommend buying a package that includes it. The private hot spring has a wild luxury feel and is very photogenic (P1-P2). 🍜 [Restaurant]: Breakfast is a set meal with a main course chosen at check-in (P6). I recommend the chicken soup rice noodles, which are rich and flavorful! Dinner also offers Sichuan cuisine and hot pot. The overall experience was great!

#favouriteitinerary I once visited Shangli Ancient Town in Ya'an, Sichuan. This beautiful place, nestled by mountains and rivers, felt like a trip back in time. We enjoyed walking around, playing in the water, catching crabs, fishing, picking tea, and watching traditional performances. Despite our efforts, we couldn't see all the bridges. A bowl of noodles for breakfast. The next morning, we attended a local market nearby and bought plums and bamboo shoots. The surrounding fields and rice paddies added to the charm. Shangli Ancient Town is a perfect blend of cultural heritage and natural beauty.

The middle of the bridge is decorated with a dragon-lock stone. 🔹 Baimaquan: Located near the ancient town, it is one of the top ten constant-temperature intermittent springs.
