A comfortable mountain home | The most beautiful homestay in Chengdu's small "Aman" I feel that Aman is a hidden gem among global hotel brands. People who love it will check in like crazy along the marks on the map. There are only three Aman resorts in China: Beijing Yihe, Hangzhou Fayun and Lijiang Dayan. I have experienced each of them, and in one word: expensive and beautiful$~ As a native Chengdu native, I have always hoped that Aman can build a "Chengdu Tianfu". It wasn't until Zizai Shanju appeared that I was shocked. Isn't this a mini version of Aman Dayan? It is a replica in exact proportion. So I decided to "sleep with him" and then quietly plant some seeds for you about B&B: The entire homestay is located on the hillside at an altitude of 1,200 meters, surrounded by mountains, and has a bit of arrogance hidden in the city. Here comes the point. This altitude brings two benefits: no mosquitoes in the summer and snow in the winter. You should know that in a basin like ours, you can go bare-legged in the jungle to enjoy the coolness in the summer and listen to the sound of snow falling in the winter. That is simply too happy! PS: There is floor heating in the winter Check-in: There were two big words "Free" written on the plaque at the entrance, and I instantly felt FREE. After entering the door, follow the winding plank road all the way up. The stream flows slowly by my feet, and along the way there are all kinds of flowers and birds calling to my room.

The Longmen Mountains: The "Western Backbone" of the Chengdu Plain, Nature's Ecological Poetry As the natural barrier on the western edge of the Chengdu Plain, the Longmen Mountains stretch over 200 km in a northeast-southwest direction, with elevations soaring from 2,000m to over 3,000m westward. The main peak, Jiuding Mountain, stands like a pillar of heaven, towering at 4,989m and overlooking the world below. The dramatic vertical drop here creates breathtaking layered landscapes: at lower elevations, the forests of Bailu Forest Park cycle through the seasons—spring azaleas blaze like fire, while autumn foliage glows like sunset; mid-slope, the Baishui River Nature Reserve shelters a haven for giant pandas, where over 4,000 species of wildlife thrive together; and at the summit, Jiuding Mountain’s perpetual mist weaves a magical scene of "four seasons in one mountain," unfolding in all its glory. The people of Pengzhou’s love for mountains is embedded in three ecological landmarks: the rugged peaks of Jiufeng Mountain (Flame Peak, Vermilion Bird Peak, etc.), standing like cliffs carved by blades, majestic and mysterious amidst swirling clouds; the crystal-clear streams of Baishui River nourishing all life, serving as a sanctuary for countless rare species; and the oxygen-rich air of Bailu Forest, a "natural remedy" for urbanites escaping the hustle and bustle. These mountains are not just a barrier but a gift, sculpted over eons into the most captivating ecological tapestry of Sichuan. Pengzhou’s charm lies in the grandeur of the Longmen Mountains, the myths of Jianshan, the allure of its three major branches, and the rings of time in Jiulong Mountain. These ranges not only uphold the ecological shield of the Chengdu Plain but also cradle the origins of ancient Shu civilization and the cultural fusion of Sichuan and Chongqing. When you stand atop Jiuding Mountain watching the sea of clouds, listen to golden snub-nosed monkeys calling in Baishui River, or trace the legacy of "Jiulong" in Jiulong Mountain, you’ll understand: the mountains are Pengzhou’s skeleton—and its soul. This city embraced by peaks is never just scenery—it’s a symbiosis of nature and culture, a symphony of history and reality.

The ultimate healing vacation spot near Longxing Temple in Pengzhou This trip around Chengdu took me to Pengzhou, where I found a healing vacation experience. Having already had a wonderful experience at Chanyi in Leshan, this time at Chanyi in Pengzhou, the check-in was still great. [Chanyi Longxing Courtyard] Located next to the popular landmark, Longxing Temple in Pengzhou. This Zen-filled hotel is worth a special trip to experience. ⚠️ Even the room card is Chanyi's signature sandalwood bracelet, which is very ritualistic. 🏠 The details in the room I stayed in this time were great. The bedding was comfortable, and the room was well-divided. ♨️ The balcony was a pleasant surprise, with a direct view of Longxing Temple and Longxing Market. There is also a private hot spring. Soaking in the hot spring at night is very pleasant. Even if you don't go to the temple, it's comfortable to stroll around the hotel. The landscaping is beautiful. Staying for two days is so relaxing. A hotel with substance can be healing. I will continue to book without hesitation for a two-day stay in Pengzhou in the future!!

A European-style town hidden in the mountains, with a pointed church/rainbow street/diamond concert hall. Accordion melodies flow on the cobblestone roads, street performers improvise around every corner, harps are played at forest campsites, and riverside bookstores are filled with musical scores. The romance here is too much to capture in nine photos! [Town Introduction] Bailu Music Town, also known as Bailu China-France Style Town, is modeled after the small towns of Provence, France. The architecture is in the macaron color scheme of the French style, with arched flower windows, white columns, and colorful roof tiles, revealing a gentle and delicate atmosphere everywhere. Every corner is full of romantic colors. The town has a long history, dating back to 316 BC, witnessing the demise of the ancient Shu Kingdom. During the Qing Dynasty, descendants of Zhu Yuanzhang came here, making Bailu a missionary base. The Catholic Church, built in 1865, was later relocated due to an earthquake. Across the Bailu River under Ginkgo Square, there used to be the "Wudian Academy", also known as the Lower Academy. After the 2008 earthquake, the surrounding buildings collapsed, but two teaching buildings stood firm, known as the "most awesome teaching buildings". Now, only a row of old walls remains of the Lower Academy, and there is also half of the China-France Friendship Bridge on the Bailu River, which is full of historical significance. Going forward from Ginkgo Square is Bailu Old Street, which was built during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. It was once one of the top ten ancient towns in Chengdu. After the 2008 earthquake, it was rebuilt into a western Sichuan residential area. The couplet on the arch of the old street, "Shops in the street sell three thousand kinds of goods, and millions of families read along the river," still allows people to imagine the former prosperity.
