Chengdu 3.5h Drive to a Secluded Courtyard at the Foot of the Snow Mountain|Step into a Childhood Filter

40°C high temperature in Chengdu? Not at all! Drive 3.5 hours into Luding Yanzigou, open the door and be hit by the snow mountain—the Wuxia Courtyard at 1800m altitude, with the sharp peak of Aide Peak emerging from the mist, and the air filled with the scent of pine needles~ ▪️ Live in nature: A quiet courtyard with three rooms, a loft with a private courtyard + soaking pool, an orchard full of apple trees (this year’s abundant rain means plenty of walnuts, turguas, and cactus fruits!); lie on the rocking chair in the afternoon eating cherries, playing with the dog, even the birdsong sounds like it’s been softened by a filter. ▪️ Eat wild mountain flavors: The mushroom and free-range chicken soup pot picked from the mountain in the evening is incredibly fresh! All the vegetables are freshly picked from the field, even the watermelon is as sweet as jelly~ ▪️ Play at the foot of the snow mountain: On clear days, you can see the golden sunlight on the mountain, and after rain, rainbows hang on the peaks; nearby Heluogou, Longhua Mountain, and Ruoding Mountain are perfect for casual visits, super comfortable for families or friends renting the whole courtyard! The homestay also offers afternoon tea☕️ (the coffee drinks are amazing!), and you can check in at the coffee shop at the door even if you’re not staying here~ No altitude sickness, fewer people, beautiful scenery—this is the ideal life for INFPs! This summer, waste your time in the wind at the foot of the snow mountain~ 🏨 Heluogou Aide Peak Summer Homestay 📍 No. 104, Group 1, Yanzigou Town, Luding Yanzigou
