Heixi Hotel in Western Sichuan! 5-year-old finds "Sacred Mountain Gemstones" under snow-capped peaks

When my son screamed holding a translucent crystal, "Mom, this is a star gifted by the snow mountain!", I knew this trip to Western Sichuan was worth it! This hidden gem of a hotel frames Mount Gongga in its windows, where even yaks seem like talking spirits. Here's your ready-to-copy 3-day-2-night family itinerary 👇 📍 **【Little Detective Grows Up Under Snow Mountains】** 🏔️ **DAY1: Checking into the Sacred Mountain Mystery Box** 🚗 3:00 PM Arrive at Heixi Hotel! The butler presents colorful prayer flags, instantly turning kids into "little Tibetan monks" 🪟 4:00 PM Start the "Window Treasure Hunt"! Each floor-to-ceiling window frames unique views—race to spot "Grandpa Snow Mountain wearing a golden hat" (sunset-lit Mount Gongga summit) 🌌 9:00 PM Stargazing class under the courtyard apple tree! Connect constellations with laser pointers until a shooting star makes the whole family scream and hug ☀️ **DAY2: Sunlight Chaser Bootcamp** ⏰ 6:30 AM Dash to the viewing platform wrapped in blankets! Create "artificial mist" with thermos steam for silhouette photos holding the sun during golden sunrise 🌞 📿 10:00 AM Prayer wheel challenge at the viewpoint! Teach kids to count clouds in Tibetan: "Chik song (1 cloud)~Nyis song (2 clouds)~Gongga Songpo (King of Snow Mountains)!" 🖌️ 2:00 PM Tibetan incense DIY magic! Knead cypress powder with mountain spring water, shaping mini yak figurines that become car charms when dried 🏡 **DAY3: Little Tibetan Ambassador** 🍎 9:00 AM Explore century-old Tibetan houses!
