Share the experience of traveling to Bi Peng Gou, Four Girls, renting a car for 4 people, no one can resist the altitude, and how should we prepare? 🏔️Bi Peng Gou, April 21, the temperature is about 6 degrees. 🏔️Four Girls, April 22, the temperature is about 6 degrees, at night 4 degrees. ✅Before going, you should get enough rest, eat well, and sleep well. ✅On the first day of arrival, we stayed in Chengdu. ✅The symptoms we encountered at both places were easy fatigue, dry throat, and we should not do anything too quickly. ✅We stayed at both places that were high. At Bi Peng, we just washed our bodies. At Four Girls, we did not shower. ✅The night we slept at Four Girls, we chose a room with oxygen. At night, when we slept, we felt like our chest was tight for a while, but not for long. We should have an oxygen can nearby. ✅When we are upstairs, we should sip water all the time. Water is very important. ✅Candy, sweeteners, we suck on them all the time. ✅Chocolate helps a lot. ✅We only use the oxygen can at Four Girls. ✅Sunglasses, sunscreen. The sky is clear, Chengdu is very sunny. ✅Hong Thai inhaler. Will save your life✅Fingertip oxygen meter #Medicines to bring 💊💊Diamox, we took it 2 days before going up high, and took it until we came down💊Motion sickness medicine, tinnitus medicine, allergy medicine, paracetamol, muscle relaxants #Review of chartered car 🚙 Local 3 days 2 nights, chartered for 1,000 yuan per day, free pick up at the airport (1 bottle of water + free oxygen) We found a review of the uncle in the group. The uncle was very cute, helped take pictures, took us around, found restaurants, helped carry luggage, very friendly. We stayed with the uncle for 3 days, found good bathrooms, delicious food. Before flying, the uncle asked us to buy some inhalers. We bought 6 jars. Before the end of the chartered car day, we gave the uncle the inhaler for free, plus our friend gave the uncle a little tip. On the day we returned to Thailand, we made an appointment with the uncle to drop us off at the airport for about 160 yuan. On the day we returned, the uncle said, I will deliver for free, no charge for you, haha. In conclusion, chartered a car for 3 days, free pick up and drop off at the airport❗️In case anyone is interested in using the uncle's service Or as another option, we'll paste Uncle's WeChat in the comments❗️ #WhereToGoAfterResignation #Chengdu #FourGirls #Bipenggou #chengdu #Bipenggou #siguniangshan

#chengdufood If I ever go back to Chengdu, I’m definitely returning to this charming courtyard hotpot spot near Chunxi Road. It’s not just a meal—it’s an experience.

The environment is beautifully photogenic too—perfect for anyone who loves capturing their food adventures! The flavor? Absolutely amazing. No matter what ingredients we threw into the pot, everything came out delicious. The signature Jiugongge style hotpot with individual compartments was both fun and flavorful, and the traditional gaiwan cai side dishes were unforgettable.

The park entrance fee, train and bus fares are half the price of adults. ☀️Airfare: 8,200/person, flew with Thai Airways, returned with Air China (actually we booked for 6,700 per person, but the airline canceled the ticket, so we booked with Thai Airways instead). ☀️Chengdu travel expenses: 3,000/person, divided into 1,150 for the high-speed train, 750 for the bus + didi + metro, 4,400 for a car rental with a driver for 1 day/4 people, 1,100 baht per person. ☀️Accommodation: 950/person, for 7 nights, we actually spent this much on accommodation per person.

The remaining 4 days we ate normally, 2 meals of Mala Shabu, Taode, Holiland, Butterful & Creamorous, Hey Tea, and various tea shops. ☀️Park entrance fee: 1,125/person It's cheap because We came during the low season, Bipengou 4xx, Jiuzhaigou 7xx, Huanglong 6xx.

Who says budget travel can’t be rich in flavor and full of charm? Chengdu — the chill capital of Sichuan — serves up spicy streets, tranquil temples, and panda-powered joy without burning your wallet. 🌿 Wander Wuhou Shrine’s Free Gardens Skip the ticketed museum and lose yourself in the beautifully landscaped courtyards outside the shrine. The ancient cypress trees and traditional architecture make this a peaceful (and photogenic) pit stop. 🐼 Visit the Panda Post Office + IFS Panda Sculpture While the Giant Panda Base charges admission, the downtown IFS Panda climbing the mall is free to see (and wildly fun to photograph). Pop by the nearby Panda-themed post office for cute souvenirs that won’t break the bank. 🥢 Snack Through Wide and Narrow Alley (Kuanzhai Xiangzi) It’s free to stroll and people-watch, and you can sample local eats for less than a few yuan — from spicy rabbit heads (if you dare) to fresh sugar-glazed fruit sticks. 🌳 Relax in People’s Park with Locals Join the city’s heart in motion — from tea-sipping to ear-cleaning (yes, it’s a thing). Entrance is free, and the people-watching is priceless. Don’t miss the Matchmaking Corner for a cultural surprise! 🚇 Bonus Tip: Chengdu’s metro is clean, fast, and super affordable — perfect for a self-guided temple or market-hopping adventure.

We'll stay here again next time! 🏠 Chengdu Jintou Heritage Hotel (Chunxi Road Taikoo Li) 📍No. 145, 157 Shuwabei First Street, Jinjiang District

It's true that everyone in Chengdu has a 🐼! Had to ✈️ fly to Chengdu just to visit the Panda Base 🏠 We first checked in at The Temple House hotel near Taikoo Li. Great location 😌 with lots of food options downstairs 👍 The room was clean and tidy with a gym area and dryer! So convenient. They also gave us coffee and 🐼-shaped ice cream which was fun - bread with grandma's ice cream and chocolate - cute and delicious. The weather was too hot so we hid in a coffee shop for a while. So chill. 🐼 After resting, we went to the Panda Base‼️ It was 30 degrees during the day, too hot 🥵 We bought tickets and went around 2 PM! Saw so many pandas! So cute, but really exhausting for the feet 😭 🚘 In the afternoon, we drove to Dujiangyan to see the "blue tears"!! Truly beautiful, and yes, super crowded! But getting those gorgeous photos made it worth it! Back in Chengdu, we also visited Jinli to explore the ancient town! Surprisingly crowded too. Rows of lanterns made every casual shot look amazing! We also tried some authentic local food. 🥂 After eating, we went to Lan Kwai Fong and found a small bar to get slightly tipsy 🍻 Chatting with friends in the breeze felt great! That's the romance of old Chengdu 💕 We returned to the hotel around midnight ☺️ Walked over 10,000 steps! It was truly an extreme day, but since we were already there~ getting beautiful photos made it all worthwhile ✌️

Just 1.5 hours from Chengdu! Step into a Real-Life Emerald Forest🌳 Chengdu friends, looking for a cool and fun place to escape the summer heat? Today I'm sharing an amazing hidden retreat—Nanbaosan Mountain in Qionglai. It's just a 1.5-hour drive from Chengdu, making it a perfect weekend getaway! The average summer temperature here is only 25°C. Stepping into Nanbaosan Mountain feels like entering a real-life emerald forest. High mountains, deep valleys, hundred-meter waterfalls, and pristine forests—everywhere you look is lush greenery. Locals say temperatures sometimes drop to just 10°C in summer, making it a natural air-conditioned oxygen bar! 📍Navigation: Simply search for "Qionglai Nanbaosan Mountain." It's super convenient to drive there, just 1.5 hours steadily from Chengdu. 🎫Tickets: I recommend buying the shuttle bus plus admission combo ticket for just 39.9 yuan—great value! The full ticket costs over 100 yuan but many attractions aren't open, so it's not worth it. The jungle trek, love zipline, glass slide, and dinosaur valley are average attractions, so there's no need to buy the full ticket just for these. 💡Fun fact: Nanbaosan Mountain is also known as "Wenjun's Hometown," hiding the romantic love story of Zhuo Wenjun and Sima Xiangru. While exploring, you can also experience the charm of this historical culture! 🌟Travel guide: Here's an excellent hiking route that offers immersive oxygen therapy and is super stress-relieving! Start from Heart Island with its cloud umbrellas and colorful balloons creating a romantic atmosphere perfect for photos that will blow up your social media. Next, visit Qin Terrace to feel the historical charm. Then stroll along the Love Corridor and Camellia Trail, which feels like walking through a fairy tale with beautiful scenery at every step. The Husband-Prospering Platform is also an interesting spot with panoramic views. Further ahead is the Water Forest with its unique landscape that will amaze you. At the Canyon Waterfall, standing beneath the cascading water with fine mist spraying your face instantly cools you down by 10°C, completely eliminating any summer heat. Don't miss the primeval forest with its towering ancient trees blocking the sunlight, creating perfect dappled lighting for forest-style photos. There's also the Tiangang Divine Turtle, which looks incredibly realistic and is full of mystical charm. Finally, challenge yourself on the glass bridge suspended 200 meters above the deep valley—though your legs might feel weak, the thrilling and breathtaking experience is unforgettable! 📌Tips: 1. Wear non-slip, comfortable shoes as some paths in the scenic area have moss and can be slippery. Safety first! 2. There are many insects in the forest, so remember to bring insect repellent to avoid being "surrounded" by mosquitoes. 3. Temperature differences between morning and evening can be significant in the forest, so bring a light jacket that you can put on when cold or take off when hot to prevent catching a chill. 💬Real experience: I spent a whole day there hiking through the primeval forest, hearing only the gentle sounds of streams and crisp birdsong while breathing in the negative ions—it was completely healing. Looking down at the valley from the glass bridge was both frightening and exciting—so thrilling! Coming here to escape the summer heat is absolutely amazing! Grab your friends or family this weekend for a spontaneous forest adventure! Escape the city noise and enjoy the beauty of nature—it's truly delightful!

#tripแจกโรงแรมฟรี Another place to mention is 3360 Cafe’ ☕️ a beautiful cafe in Si Daruni Park. The cafe is at the last bus stop. There is a corner to sit and sip a drink and enjoy the beautiful view. There are plenty of photo spots. Anyone who comes to visit must not forget to stop by. The shop is on top of the building. The shop is very beautiful. The day we went was 13/04/2025. To travel to Si Daruni, we rented a car with a driver from the Chengdu Check-in page. Let me tell you that the service is good, safe, and most importantly, the price is not expensive. We went for 3 days and 2 nights, starting from Si Daruni - Bi Peng Gou - Dagu Glacier. Things to know - Park entrance fee + bus in the park is about 688 baht per person, depending on the time of travel. - Take a car in the park for about 45 minutes. - Si Daruni Mountain takes about 4-5 hours from Chengdu. The view along the way is very beautiful. - Chinese style toilets, prepare yourself, you will definitely see all types. - Some people may have to use oxygen cans because it is quite high above sea level. -You should take some anti-altitude medication beforehand. #Siguniangshan #FourYoungWomen #Chengdu #TravelChina #China #Siguniangshan #ChangPingGou #ShuangqiaoGou #Chengdu #china #TravelChinaByYourself #GoAnywhere #painaigopaii

Truly a city you'll want to visit again and again! · Chengdu at night unfolds like a beautiful painting, perfectly showcasing the city's prosperity, tranquility, and romance, making it hard to leave. · 📸 Recommended night tour spots along the Jin River 1⃣ Dongmen Wharf Historically, Dongmen Wharf was an important transportation hub for Chengdu, witnessing the city's transformation over time. Although the ancient city walls and wharf no longer exist, the newly renovated Dongmen Wharf still preserves traces of history. It stands as both a witness to history and a part of modern urban life · 2️⃣ Jiuyan Bridge Chengdu's Jiuyan Bridge is an ancient bridge with a thousand-year history.

Its history dates back to the Qing Dynasty, originally named "Hong Bridge," later renamed "Anshun Bridge" during Emperor Qianlong's reign, symbolizing peace and prosperity - 4⃣ Hejiang Pavilion Built during the Tang Dynasty, Hejiang Pavilion is not only a landmark where two rivers embrace the city but also carries rich historical and cultural significance. Throughout history, many scholars and poets like Du Fu and Lu You expressed their sentiments here. The image of "two rivers joining" has evolved into a beautiful metaphor for "never separating," becoming a symbol of love - 5️⃣ Twelve Month Market Museum Chengdu's Twelve Month Market Museum focuses on the traditional commercial culture of Chengdu's "Twelve Month Market" during the Tang and Song dynasties, highlighting the integration of urban street history with contemporary life. It's a small themed museum showcasing the evolution of Chengdu's commercial culture - 🏠 Accommodation recommendation: Suggest staying near [Chunxi Road], as there's abundant food options and convenient access to various attractions!

#chengdutrip If you're looking for the perfect night view in Chengdu, you can't miss Chengdu SKP and the Shengji Tower! The tower's columns, which resemble bamboo shoots, come alive with a stunning light show that cycles through red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple lights at night. Plus, with the waterfall effect cascading down from above, it's like stepping into a cyberpunk dream, where every shot feels like a masterpiece. Location: Chengdu SKP No entrance fee—just like a park in a mall. Tips & Tricks for Shooting: The mist is intense! It can be so thick that it’ll get your clothes wet, so be prepared. Wide-angle lens! If you want to capture the full grandeur, don’t forget to bring a wide-angle lens. I shot the first image using my phone's 0.5x wide-angle mode from the perimeter. Bring an umbrella! If you want to take photos between the columns, an umbrella not only makes a great prop but also helps you avoid getting wet. Winter evening lights: The lights usually come on around 6 PM. Mist effect: The smoke only appears during the day; once the lights come on at night, the mist fades away. #travel
