My spending habits collapsed after 3 days in Panzhihua

Baozis! I recently discovered a treasure trove that's perfect for chilling out and going wild: Panzhihua! 🌺 It has gentler sunshine than Sanya, spicier food than Chengdu, and surprises hidden in the mountains and valleys. I've put together a super detailed guide, so you can't go wrong following it! 👇 🌟 [Itinerary Overview: 3 Days and 2 Nights in Panzhihua] 🌟 Day 1: City Check-in → Full of Local Life • Morning: Yishala Ancient Village 🌿 China's No. 1 Yi ethnic village! Red walls, gray tiles, and stone roads make every shot feel like a movie. Remember to find an auntie in the village to buy a cup of freshly squeezed sugarcane juice 🍹, it's sweet to the heart! • Afternoon: Panzhihua Park 🌳 A local's secret oxygen bar! Climb to the top for a panoramic view of the city, the sunset is absolutely beautiful 🌇. On the way down the mountain, visit the "Third-Line Construction Museum," the retro train and old factory buildings are great for taking photos 📸! • Evening: Jin'ou Square Night Market 🍢 So fragrant you can't move! Must-try grilled small intestine (crispy on the outside and tender on the inside), ice powder jelly (spicy relief artifact), and freshly baked pineapple rice 🍍, sweet and super satisfying. 🌄 [Day 2: Natural Adventure → Frolicking Between Mountains and Seas] • Morning: Yizhi Green Train 🚞 The retro green train travels through a wonderland! Choose a window seat and watch the Jinsha River winding at your feet, as if you've stepped into a Miyazaki animation.💨 • Afternoon: Yishala Jinsha River Viewing Platform 🌊 Stand on the edge of the cliff and feel the river breeze! In the distance is the "Little Erhai" view of the river, remember to bring a light jacket, the wind is a bit cool. 🧥 • Evening: Tianxing Lakeside 🌌 A secret base for locals to take a walk after dinner! There are bars and barbecue stalls by the lake, order a cup of lemon tea 🍋, listen to the resident singer play the guitar, the atmosphere is full. 🍜 [Foodie Radar: Panzhihua Must-Eat List] 🍜 ⚠️ Key points! The food here is spicy and fragrant, remember to bring digestive tablets if you have a small stomach! • Hu Lao Si Beef Noodles 🍜 The soup base is super thick! The beef slices are as thin as paper, add a spoonful of chili flakes 🌶️, it's so spicy you'll sweat, super refreshing. • Pang Jie Dipping Rice Noodles 🥢 The soul is in the dipping sauce! Millet pepper + peanut crumbs + mint, the rice noodles are full of soup, a bite into the soul. • Song Yanhua Mango Smoothie 🥭 Freshly cut mangoes piled into a small mountain! There are also fruit granules in the smoothie, a bite of sweetness to the heart. 🍧 • Pepper Salt Cake + Fatty Intestine Noodles 🌯 Local breakfast CP! The pepper salt cake is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, dipped in fatty intestine soup, it's amazing. 🛏️ [Accommodation Guide: Value for Money Options] 🛏️ • First choice in the city: Panzhihua Hotel 🏨 Old state-owned hotel, excellent location! Walking distance to the night market and park, the rooms are spacious and clean, super cost-effective. • Internet-famous homestay: Miyi Sun Valley 🌿 Choose this place if you want to lie down! Open the window to see the pastoral scenery, suitable for dazing and watching the clouds ☁️, there are also outdoor swimming pools and barbecue areas, families with children can also have fun. 🚗 [Travel Tips: Nanny-level Avoidance Guide] 🚗 • Transportation ✈️: Fly directly to Panzhihua Bao'anying Airport, the starting price for taxis in the city is CNY 6, and the bus is CNY 2 for a through ticket. • Dress 👗: Large temperature difference between day and night! Wear short sleeves + sunscreen in the daytime, and add a thin coat in the evening (best from March to May). • Avoidance ❌: Don't buy unknown fruits on the roadside! Ask for the price before you start, to avoid stepping on the pit. 💌 [Last Words] Panzhihua is really an underestimated city! There are no crowded people here, only a slow-paced local life, whether it's sunbathing, eating delicious food, or chasing a sunset over the Jinsha River, it can make you completely forget the hustle and bustle of the city. 🌅

Panzhihua was underwhelming, so I advise my friends to think twice before going there.
