"When you open the window, mist-cloaked Qingcheng Mountain greets you; when you dip into the hot spring, summer bliss embraces you."❤️ If Qingcheng Mountain’s poetry hides within its forests, then **Chunshanwai Hot Spring Hotel** captures the mountain’s gentle soul in its courtyard—white walls and dark tiles mirrored in seas of roses, private baths steeping in the scent of foliage. Even social media sensation Zhao Lusi has visited this hidden gem, and now I’ve found it too! ✨ 🛏️ **Stay in a Mountain-View "Hot Spring Suite"** 80% of rooms feature private terraces with hot springs! Floor-to-ceiling windows frame mountain vistas like oil paintings, while warm wood furnishings and soft lighting create a cozy retreat. The rose petals scattered by your hot spring? Pure romance. At dusk, sink into the steaming water as sunset paints Qingcheng Mountain gold and crimson—mist swirling like a scene from *Spirited Away*. Psst: Stargaze from the terrace of the "Starry Sky" room—every detail is dream-worthy! 🌌 🍃 **Wilderness Romance, Dawn to Dusk** • **Morning ritual:** Floating breakfast delivered on bamboo trays. Sip coffee amid Qingcheng’s morning mist—every photo is magazine-worthy. ☕📸 • **Afternoon escape:** Pose by reed-filled streams near the lawn; sip tea in Hanfu for ancient-style portraits. 👘🍵 • **Night magic:** Your butler prepares the hot spring. After your soak, savor a local hotpot—simmering under starry skies, warmer than any city supper. 🍲✨ 🚗 **Easy Access** • 10-min drive to **Qingcheng Mountain Front Scenic Area** • 4-min taxi ride from **Qingchengshan High-Speed Rail Station** • Visit **Panda Valley** by day, unwind in hot springs by dusk • **Dujiangyan Irrigation System** just 15 mins away Perfect for summer escapes, team retreats, or afternoon tea! ☀️🍰 \#QingchengMountainHotSpring \#ResortLife \#SummerGetaway \#TeamRetreat \#AfternoonTeaGoals @Ctrip Creative Center
