Accidentally Entering the Real-life Wizard of Oz | Guide to Gongtong Mountain Residence in Western Sichuan

|Guide to Gongtong Mountain Residence in western Sichuan. Hey babes👫, I just came back from a trip to an incredible place and I had to share it with you! That is Gongtong Mountain Residence in western Sichuan, a place that makes you feel like you are walking into a fairy tale world✨. 🏞️View As soon as I stepped into Gongtong Mountain Residence, I was amazed by the beautiful scenery in front of me! The mountains are covered with Davidia involucrata trees, and their white flowers are like a group of lively white doves 🕊️ resting on the branches. When the breeze blows, the "white doves" sway gently, as if telling the story of the mountains and forests. Surrounded by mountains, the lush trees seem to have covered the earth with a thick green blanket🧺. The mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist, sometimes brushing across your cheeks like a veil, and sometimes covering the entire mountain residence, like a dream wonderland. Any shot you take will turn out great📸! 🌄Itinerary planning Day 1: Arrive at Gongtong Resort in the morning. After checking in, take a walk along the surrounding mountain trails, breathe in the fresh air, and feel the embrace of nature. At noon, we tasted local specialties at the Shanju Restaurant, such as chicken stewed with mountain mushrooms and wild vegetable cakes, which tasted amazing 👍. In the afternoon, you can go to the stream to play in the water. The water is so clear that you can see the bottom. You can see small fish and shrimps swimming in the cracks between the rocks. It is super interesting. Day 2: Get up early to watch the sunrise 🌅. The sunrise in the mountains is so beautiful that it makes me want to cry 😭. The golden sunlight shines on the mountains and Davidia involucrata flowers, which is magnificent. In the morning, you can join the hiking activities organized by Shanju, go deep into the mountains and forests, and explore rare animals and plants. In the afternoon, on the viewing platform of the mountain residence, make a cup of hot tea, quietly appreciate the beautiful scenery in front of you, and enjoy a pleasant time. 🍱Food In addition to the aforementioned chicken stewed with wild mushrooms and wild vegetable cakes, the roasted corn here is also not to be missed. It is sweet and soft, with a light burnt aroma. There is also local bacon, which is fat and lean and tastes delicious. By the way, you must try the nectar made from Davidia involucrata flowers, it is sweet and has a very unique taste 😋. 🚗Transportation If you drive yourself, you can just use the navigation system to navigate to Gongtong Mountain Residence. The scenery along the way is also very beautiful and you can stop and take photos at any time. If you don’t want to drive, you can go to a nearby city first and then transfer to the local tourist bus🚌. 🏡Accommodation Gongtong Villa has rooms of various styles. I live in a wooden house with a small balcony. When I open the door, I can see green everywhere. I fall asleep to the sound of insects at night. It is so healing. The facilities in the room are very complete and clean. The service staff are very friendly, making people feel as warm as at home🥰. Darlings, believe me, Gongtong Resort is really a great travel destination, make plans quickly💕!
