As soon as you enter this guesthouse, it's simply a replica of a Moroccan garden. The whole place is made in a unique style with micro-cement. The entire style is designed by the boss himself, super beautiful room type. Each room here has a different style. The room is very large with a small living room and a large bathtub where you can soak and also see the scenery outside the window.

Public area The first floor has a sunken book bar and a public chat and tea area. The rooftop has a garden where you can see the entire ancient town scenery.

We have chartered a whole European-style villa in the mountains! This Halloween, let's do something different~ The sisters proposed a two-day and one-night trip. Chongzhou is very close to us, we looked at many homestays, and the sisters chose this one! Simple modern minimalist style, it looks like a castle indeed. The boss said that this homestay is both for self-occupation and for rent. So there are a lot of things, and the decoration is also very painstaking. There are a total of 8 rooms, as long as 6 rooms are booked, it will automatically be chartered. The room types include double rooms, twin rooms, and round bed rooms. In fact, the facilities are very complete: there is a free KTV on the first floor, The song selection is quite comprehensive, and the sound effects are also good. There is also a free massage hot spring on the mountain. There is also an outdoor stove for roasting fire, and it's also possible to make tea around the stove. There is also a mahjong table~

Hidden in the mountains, I found the ancient temple of the fairy dwelling. 📍Location: Chongzhou City 💚Guangyan Zen Temple If you drive from Chengdu, it takes about an hour and a half. There are also direct bus tickets from Chengdu, which are very convenient to the scenic parking lot. 🎫Tickets: The temple requires a cleaning fee of 2 yuan, which supports scanning and payment. After payment, a ticket will be given. 👉Inside the temple: The temple itself is quite large, and you can go up by climbing the stone steps. There is a large Daxiong Hall on it, with a Sakyamuni Buddha named by Jigong. There is also a thousand-year-old Phoebe zhennan, which is really comfortable and spectacular. There is also a brother who converted at the door selling his own hand-polished Phoebe zhennan, which is very cost-effective and fragrant. 💚Vegetarian restaurant: The first picture is a very atmospheric vegetarian restaurant next to the temple. You need to make a reservation in advance and only serve lunch. We didn't make a reservation, but we can visit for free, it's very comfortable, and decided to try it next time~ Overall, the mountain road is still good to drive, and there are also people walking up the mountain. The air is very fresh and comfortable, a good place to clear energy on weekends I am a small package who loves to travel and share✌️

On a lazy winter afternoon, The ginkgo leaves and the sun blend into a golden yellow, It's a romantic and relaxed early winter! This should be the place with the most and yellowest ginkgo recently, At present, ginkgo has rendered 70%, When we went, not every tree had turned yellow, But many of the yellowed leaves are about to fall off, Now is the best time to watch and take pictures. ✅Address🍂: Yangma River Ginkgo Garden ✅Play time⌛️: 0.5~1 day ✅Transportation🚗: Self-driving from Yangxi Interchange, it takes only about 0.5 hours to get to Yangma River Ginkgo Garden. ✅Parking🅿️: You can park in the park, but parking spaces are limited. If you go late, it's not easy to park. Many people park directly on the side of the road. I heard that sometimes the police uncle posts fines, so pay more attention~ ✅Cost💰: Cleaning fee 10RMB/person, parking fee is free ✅Suitable for📸: Sunbathing, photography, outdoor barbecue, hot pot, etc. ⚠️Precautions: ① Try to go during good weather during the week. There are too many people on weekends, it is very crowded, parking is very difficult, and it is difficult to find a shooting angle! Be sure to go early on weekends! ② There are very few toilets, and when there are many people, you have to wait in line for a long time. ③ Now the ginkgo fruit has fallen to the ground and has a strong smell. If you are not used to it, you should avoid it. ④ There is a river in the park, pay attention if you bring children!

💭'There is heaven above, and Suzhou and Hangzhou below, and there is also the landscape of Qingcheng Mountain.' This ancient praise of Qingcheng Mountain still echoes in my ears.

My favorite hotel in Chengdu... who else gets this feeling of seclusion? I found a super cool, niche homestay around Chengdu. 🍀 The homestay is halfway up a mountain in the forests of Chongzhou, Chengdu, with a whole lake and a forest. It's about a 1.5-hour drive from Chengdu, making it a great place to go for a weekend getaway. 🍀 √ By a bamboo forest √ By a lake √ Zen courtyard √ Mountain hot spring Every step is a view, and every corner is a great photo op~ Both sunny and rainy days have their own unique charm! The environment and service are both very nice! 🍀 The hotel has a Yanboli natural cuisine restaurant, a lakeside café, a Kongshan Senyu forest café, a Zhixing tea room, a lawn area, a swimming pool, a hot spring courtyard, and lake-view rooms. 🍀 The hotel also offers a bamboo raft experience, has a parking lot, and allows you to check out as late as 4 pm.

🚗 Finally, I arrived at Yuantong Ancient Town, a place I've been longing to visit. This "Little Chengdu" was built during the Eastern Jin Dynasty and has a history of over 1,600 years. It truly lives up to its reputation! 🌆 Strolling along the stone-paved streets of the ancient town, I felt like I had traveled back in time. Kirin Street was bustling with activity, and the ancient houses were well-preserved, giving a glimpse of Yuantong's former glory. Shuangfeng Street had a more residential feel, with less than half of the shops open. Meanwhile, Banbian Street and Dongsheng Street were rarely visited by tourists, with only a few old houses still inhabited, creating a peaceful and rustic atmosphere. 🏯 The ancient architecture here is truly awe-inspiring! The second gate of the Luo Family Residence features Gothic-style lines, but the details are traditionally Chinese, making it unique. The Catholic Church, built in 1903, is a blend of Chinese and Western styles, with a small square in front that's perfect for photos. The Huang Family Courtyard is well-preserved, telling stories of the past. Although only the ancient well and other original items remain at Xizi Palace, you can still feel its former glory. There are also bridges like Huijiang Bridge and Yongli Bridge, spanning rivers and connecting the past and present, witnessing the passage of time. 🍜 Of course, a visit to Yuantong Ancient Town wouldn't be complete without trying the local cuisine. The "Four Flowers of Yuantong"—trotter flower, oil flower, brain flower, and bean flower—are all unforgettable. The oil flower has a numbing and spicy flavor, the trotter flower is soft and tender, and the bean flower is perfect with dipping sauce. Other local delicacies include pepper duck, cold chicken, and fatty intestine blood curd, all of which are authentic and delicious. 💖 Here, time seems to slow down. There's no city noise or hustle and bustle, only the tranquility and leisure of the ancient town. Find a teahouse, sit down for a cup of tea, watch the people passing by, and soak in the unique atmosphere—it's truly a pleasure. Yuantong Ancient Town is like a living version of the famous painting "Along the River During the Qingming Festival," with stories and charm in every corner, making it hard to leave once you've arrived. I highly recommend visiting to experience its allure! 🎉   You can adjust the content based on your own experience, or provide me with more specific feelings and experiences, and I'll continue to create for you.

Fengqi Mountain is a scenic area located in Chongzhou, Chengdu, Sichuan Province, known for its unique natural scenery and rich historical culture. • Location and Name Origin: Fengqi Mountain, originally named Fengqi Mountain, is located on the west side of Tianzi Mountain in the mid-low mountain area of Chongzhou, Sichuan. It is named after the shape of the mountain rocks resembling a phoenix head.

Among them, Guzhu Dusan refers to a stone pillar under Fengqi Peak, with a strange pine tree on the pillar, shaped like a giant umbrella.

🧣As winter quietly approaches, the cold in Chengdu also brings a unique charm. Escaping the hustle and bustle of the city, I found a secret garden like a Nordic fairy tale - Fox River Watanabe Forest Camp, a place where the soul is healed. 🏡Upon arriving at the camp, the first thing that catches your eye is the small wooden houses adorned with snow, as if stepping into a dreamy fairy tale world. Elf treehouses, water cabins, Christmas cabins... each exudes a unique charm. Looking out the window at the falling snowflakes, my heart instantly calmed down. 🔥At night, the small bonfire in the camp is lit, and the warm flames dispel the winter chill. We sat around the fire, roasting sweet potatoes, chatting, and enjoying this rare tranquility and warmth. The aroma of barbecue wafts through the air, making people drool. 🎶And when night falls, the camp also hosts forest concerts, with singers performing live. The melodious singing echoes in the forest, adding a touch of romance and warmth to the cold winter night. 📸This is also a great place for photography. Wearing solid-colored clothes, paired with warm-colored accessories, posing in front of the snow, metasequoia forest, and cabins, every photo can be stunning. 🏞In addition to enjoying the beautiful scenery and delicious food, the camp also offers a variety of outdoor activities, such as skiing (depending on the weather), glider experiences, hot air balloon rides, etc., making the winter journey more colorful. 🍵After a day of activities, why not come to the forest tea break area, taste a cup of warm health tea, paired with roasted chestnuts and sweet potatoes, let the warmth spread from the tip of the tongue to the heart. 🚗Transportation is also very convenient. It takes about 40 minutes to drive from downtown Chengdu. If you take public transportation, it only takes 10 minutes by taxi after getting off the station to reach the camp. 🌟This winter, if you are also tired of the cold and noise of the city, why not come to Fox River Watanabe Forest Camp and experience a different winter journey!

After a long break, I finally set off again in the warm winter sun. I chose a place with a low intensity, Gao Mountain Temple in Chongzhou. I read online that the vegetarian meal there is very ceremonial, so I packed my bags and set off. I arrived just in time. The vegetarian meal at Gao Mountain Temple needs to be reserved. You need to make a reservation with the monk at the incense place at the entrance before 10:30 am every day. They prepare meals according to the number of reservations, and you can line up at the entrance of the dining hall at 11:50. After making a reservation, I was ready to take a walk. I didn't study the route carefully. I thought the hiking loop was outside the temple, but I walked all the way to a health hotel on the mountain and there was no road, so I returned the same way. But I have to say, the road from the temple to the mountain is quite interesting. The road is paved and only one car can pass. But in winter, the road is covered with fallen leaves. You can pick up a stick and push it while walking to collect a huge ball of fallen leaves. The trees in the mountains are tall, and the winter sun is occasionally blocked, but the fresh air is the best gift for hiking. The whole hike was very short, and I returned to the temple after a while. I saw that the time was almost up, so I hurried to line up at the entrance of the dining hall. There were monks, laymen, volunteers, and pilgrims. The dining hall is a separate building. Looking around, the sloping roof is very high, and the tables and chairs inside are horizontal and vertical, which makes people feel respectful. There is a sign at the door that says: Silence. A monk came out to maintain order and told everyone that eating is also a practice. Following the monks into the dining hall, there was a long chant first. After the food was distributed, a chant of the lunch verse was sung, and then the meal began. No one spoke or played with their mobile phones during the whole process. Except for the sound of bowls and chopsticks colliding, even the children remained quiet. After the meal, the post-meal verse was chanted, and everyone left the dining hall in an orderly manner. It was my first time experiencing such a solemn vegetarian meal. In the whole environment, I focused all my attention on eating. I was there to understand how the monks in the temple stick to the simple words "eating is also a practice" every day. After the vegetarian meal, I worshiped in Gao Mountain Temple, basked in the sun for a while, and saw that it was still early, so I went to the nearby Yuantong Ancient Town. The winter sun, the gurgling Xihe River, the surging crowd, drinking tea, and basking in the sun are the luxurious enjoyment of Chengdu people in winter.
