Ultimate Relaxation | Healing Staycation at a Hot Spring Near Chengdu

Took a little break from the hustle and bustle to have a short vacation around Chengdu, and chose Huashuiwan, which is 1.5h away from Chengdu. This place is so beautiful and healing! Riverside hot springs, Japanese-style courtyards, forest hikes, babbling brooks... It cleanses both the lungs and the eyes. After having tea by the creek, barbecue at the forest restaurant, watching a live performance at the guesthouse, and receiving a goodnight stew and wine, the beautiful scenery healed both body and mind, fully recharging me! 📍Chengdu·Dayi·Huashuiwan 🎒Tips for nearby attractions: 1️⃣ Forest Hiking: Dayi Zhangshi Bridge - Riverside light hiking route, 4.5 kilometers one way on a concrete road, with a 150-meter ascent 2️⃣ Xiling Snow Mountain: Snowy mountains, lakes, and forests for summer retreat 3️⃣ Xieyuan Ancient Town + Heming Mountain Taoist Temple: Very niche attractions, Xieyuan Ancient Town is perfect for playing in the water in summer, a must-visit every year! 🍲Dayi Food Recommendations: 1️⃣ Zhou Ji Pen Pen Shrimp: The best Pen Pen shrimp in Dayi, often imitated but never surpassed 2️⃣ Jing Bing Fen: Average 20 yuan per person can enjoy many snacks 3️⃣ Ye Bu Shou Hun Douhua: A longstanding restaurant with a rich variety of dishes, be sure to try the meat Douhua!
