The hidden gem around Chengdu is a great place to escape the city's exhaust fumes and smog. Whether you want to take a walk or just relax, you always need to be healed. Fortunately, I found a beautiful homestay. Both the service and the scenery are great. Shangshan Shang·Yari Sa·Yuquan Tea House 3rd Group, Shiyi Village, Qushan Town, Beichuan Qiang Autonomous County, Mianyang City It takes about 3 hours to drive from Chengdu. The altitude is over 1,000 meters. It's still a bit cold in the morning and evening this season, so it's recommended to bring a coat. The homestay service is very good, everyone is very enthusiastic, the environment and facilities are complete, and the quality of various supplies is good. The homestay has a cooperation with a tea garden, but it is not the tea picking season and you can't visit the tea garden. The homestay has a strong sense of design and aesthetics, which is very much to our liking. The three of us stayed in the suite with the best view, and the room was very photogenic both inside and outside! It was raining when we set off the day before, and we didn't have much hope for the next day. But!! It cleared up unexpectedly!! The camera kept clicking and couldn't stop at all. Keep taking deep breaths, as if your whole body is being purified from the inside out. The lunch and dinner provided by the hotel need to be booked in advance, and the butler will contact you via WeChat after booking. You can choose between hot pot and Sichuan cuisine. We chose hot pot. The breakfast is the standard of Ligongge Mountain White Fresh Milk Homestay.

I love to travel in China there are so many places to visit one of my favorite is JiuHua Mountain and staying at MAO resort. The swimming pool is incredible has a beautiful view of the mountain. It’s peaceful and quite you can find connection with nature and yourself. There are also many outdoor sports to do during the day as paragliding, raftings and hiking. #merrychristmas

On a beautiful Sunday, March 9th, my husband and I drove from Mianyang to Beichuan, about 40 kilometers away. It had been several years since our last visit. In the decade following the earthquake, we frequently visited Beichuan during its reconstruction. I remember the first time we went, there weren't even any restrooms… it was quite awkward. Later, we accompanied family, relatives, and friends on numerous trips to Beichuan, admiring the unique Qiang architecture, shopping and strolling on Yuwang Bridge, and dining at the Banacha scenic area. I remember the road from Mianyang to Beichuan being lined with flowers. One year, the blooming white magnolia trees were a feast for the eyes. I decided then that I must return during magnolia season. Several years passed, and after the pandemic, I hadn't been back. Recently, I've been thinking how wonderful it would be if the 5A Banacha scenic area became as popular as Harbin in winter, attracting tourists from all over China and the world, boosting the local economy. Since we didn't plan to spend too much time at the scenic area itself, we focused on enjoying the scenery and flowers along the way. Besides lush greenery, there were many flowers in bloom along the road, mainly purple-leaf plums and some fading crabapple blossoms. We took a small road through the countryside, stopping to admire the spring scenery. We were delighted to find beautiful rapeseed flowers, pea flowers, and a few early peach blossoms, reminding me of the poem by Su Dongpo, "Peach blossoms in twos and threes outside the bamboo grove, the ducks know first when the river warms in spring." Although I didn't see any ducks, we later spotted egrets by Yuwang Bridge, but they were too far away to photograph. (Incidentally, Yuwang Bridge was under construction and closed to pedestrians; it used to be a bustling commercial street.) Of course, I was most eager to see the white magnolias, and it was perfect timing! The beautiful white magnolias bloomed under the clear blue sky, their petals resembling ancient jade artifacts. Later, from the car, we saw a large grove of magnolia trees near the Banacha parking lot. We got out of the car and walked along the greenway by Yuwang Bridge and the Anchang River. The scenery was stunning, with distant mountains visible, a view impossible to find in Mianyang city. Sadly, there were hardly any people around. In a big city, such a beautiful environment would be filled with people exercising. We saw a young mother encouraging her four or five-year-old son as they rode their bikes, one behind the other. We gave the boy a thumbs-up. Only a few winter jasmine flowers were in bloom, but clusters of small blue flowers dotted the grass, a lovely sight. I even saw tadpoles in the river, which reminded me of the cartoon "Little Tadpoles Looking for Their Mother." The poppies at the entrance of Banacha were absolutely breathtaking! I spent a long time there taking pictures of the flowers and bees. We had lunch at Banacha, strolled around, and bought some local products, including houttuynia cordata (fish mint) dug up by an elderly man from the mountains and eggs from his free-range chickens. Satisfied with our meal, our walk, and the beautiful scenery, we felt good about contributing to the local economy, and we drove home. The parking fee was only two yuan, incredibly cheap. We almost got lost on the way back, proving my husband's point that Beichuan is a place where you can easily lose your way. Beichuan is beautiful in spring, and we welcome you to visit!

✅ Every year around March, tens of millions of Xin Yi flowers bloom in the Jiuhuangshan scenic area. The Xin Yi flowers here are like a hidden paradise, quiet and beautiful, with poetic romance! When they are in full bloom, if you encounter a gentle breeze, the falling petals are like a pink snow, embellishing the entire hillside, which amazed me. ✅ In addition to the beautiful scenery, Jiuhuangshan Mountain scenic area also holds the interesting 12th Xin Yi Flower Festival, where you can experience local culture and customs, see beautiful Qiang girls, and even wear Qiang costumes for photos. There are costume changing spots for Qiang and Han clothing at the Huaxi Scenic Area South Gate viewing platform.

🌟Highlights: 🎎Cultural experience: The Qiang Tea Art Museum vividly showcases Qiang tea culture, immersing you in its rich cultural heritage🎊.

Every bite is a perfect blend of nature and tradition🥰. 🎶Leisure and entertainment: The fire pit seating area is a gathering place for joy and warmth. Everyone sits around the bonfire, participates in "ice-breaking" activities, dances Sarang and Guozhuang, and experiences the rich ethnic customs💃. There are also many leisure spaces such as Boyunjian Guanshan Tangshe, Yinshan Courtyard, Tianya Courtyard, Wangxingkong, Lovers Tree, and Lazy Slope. Whether you want to enjoy the beautiful scenery or relax, you can find your favorite place🌈. 🛏️Rooms: There are 10 rooms in total, covering 4 types, such as Mountain View Private Hot Spring King Room and Cloud View Private Hot Spring King Room🛏️. Each room cleverly integrates Qiang culture and natural elements to create a unique living atmosphere🌳. Not only is there an exclusive tea space for you to enjoy the fragrance of tea at any time, but there is also an independent hot spring pool for you to enjoy the ultimate relaxation experience🛀. There are also thoughtful configurations such as B&O Bluetooth speakers and Dyson hair dryers, showing quality and luxury🌟. 🗺️Nearby attractions: - Beichuan Qiang City Tourist Area: 31 km from the homestay, about 1 hour by car🚗. Here, you can learn about the history and culture of the Qiang people and feel the unique charm of the ancient ethnic group📚. - Yaowang Valley: 4A scenic spot, 49 km from the homestay, about 1 hour by car.
