I found a city at the foot of a snow-capped mountain near Chengdu❗️It takes only half an hour to get there by high-speed train from Chengdu, which is perfect for working people like me. No need to be a special forces soldier, two days on the weekend is just right. 👉Transportation 🚄High-speed train: Chengdu East - Mianzhu South, the fastest takes only 31 minutes 🚗Self-driving: All the way on the highway, one and a half hours 📝About the trip ✅New Year Painting Village Don't miss the New Year Painting Village when you come to Mianzhu. The whole village is full of New Year painting elements, which is very characteristic, and you can also experience the fun of making New Year paintings. ✅New Year Customs Village The New Year Customs Village is near Mianzhu High-speed Railway Station, you can walk there if you take the high-speed train. But it is very similar to the New Year Painting Village, so if you have been to the New Year Painting Village, you don't need to come here. ✅Jiannan Old Street I didn't know that Mianzhu is the birthplace of Jiannanchun until I came here. Jiannan Old Street is a street of wine culture, and the air is filled with a strong aroma of wine, and you can also see the ancient brewing techniques. ✅Shuangquan Village Red Maple Forest If you want to enjoy the autumn colors, this is the place to be. A large red maple forest is in its best viewing period, and it is also a good place to go camping with friends. ✅Golden Qingping Golden Qingping is far from the city, so I recommend spending a day here. It is like a fairytale town, with colorful houses and cartoon characters everywhere, and you can also enjoy the ginkgo trees. 🏨About accommodation ⭕️Lutang Hot Spring Hotel Now is the time to soak in the hot spring♨️, so I highly recommend you to come to Lutang Hot Spring Hotel, it is so comfortable to have a garden hot pot and then soak in the hot spring at night.

Visited four places and still had time to stroll around leisurely, feeling that my planning was just perfect. Chengdu to Yanzuo Zen Temple 1.5 hours, playtime 1 hour. The flowers should bloom perfectly in another half a month. It was already crowded when I arrived at ten today, so I suggest getting there by nine. Everyone needs to make a reservation to enter the park. The ice cream is very pretty. Nianhua Village takes 0.5 hours by car, playtime 1-2 hours. Since there are not many people, it's just a quiet village. Festive New Year paintings can be seen everywhere on the walls. It probably feels even more seasonal in winter. Last year I tried woodblock printing at the experience hall; white paper for five yuan, red paper for eight, and gold characters for ten. There are a few firewood chicken restaurants at the entrance that seem to be doing good business and smell quite fragrant. Taiping Reservoir takes 0.5 hours by car, playtime 1 hour. Park the car below the dam and walk up the stairs to see the open water surface. You can walk around the reservoir in about an hour. The last part features a small waterfall. There's a place selling cold noodles and jelly noodles in the parking area, surprisingly tasty for six yuan a serving. Mianzhu National Rose Park takes 0.5 hours by car, playtime 3-4 hours. Bought tickets online the day before, 20 yuan per person. Upon entering the park, you first see the green landscape and lawns, which are very comfortable to walk around. Over the hill is a castle 🏰, followed by a large rose garden. Although the roses are a bit past their peak, the park is very large, so remember to wear sunscreen.
