A great place to escape the summer heat and breathe fresh air! I discovered this hidden gem in Sichuan 🍃

Overwhelmed workers finally found a stress-relief paradise! Amidst the mountains and rivers of Mianyang, Sichuan, all worries are gently healed. The lush greenery and fresh air truly make one feel fully rejuvenated 💯 ✨ Must-visit attractions: 📍 Xianhai Lake Address: Xianhai Town, Youxian District, Mianyang City Like a sapphire hidden in the mountains, the lake reflects the blue sky and white clouds. It's recommended to come between 4-5 PM when the light is softest, and a leisurely stroll along the lakeside trail is super pleasant ~ 📍 Yaowang Valley Address: Beichuan Qiang Autonomous County, Mianyang The mountains are covered with blooming Magnolia biondii flowers, a super romantic mix of pink and white! The scenic area also has swings and photo frames under the flowering trees, making for stunning photos! A reminder to wear comfortable shoes, as the hiking trail is a bit long but worth it. 📍 Qinglinkou Ancient Town Address: Qinglinkou Town, Jiangyou City A well-preserved cluster of traditional Northern Sichuan residential buildings, with century-old banyan trees lining the bluestone paths. The ancient town is small but very original, completely uncommercialized, and you can taste authentic farmhouse dishes. 🌈 Practical tips: 1. It is recommended to drive yourself or hire a car, as the attractions are far apart and public transportation is not very convenient. 2. There is a large temperature difference in the mountainous area, so remember to bring a jacket as a backup. 3. Be sure to try the local "Paoshan Chicken" (free-range chicken) and cured spare ribs. Farmhouse restaurants cook them fresh to order, super delicious!
