Ya'an | The Tea Horse Road, a Cool Summer on Mount Mengding

At the starting point of the Tea Horse Road in Sichuan, there is a hidden ancient path that is absolutely stunning. It only takes 1.5 hours to drive from Chengdu to Ya'an, a city that only has 60 days without rain each year. Even in summer, Ya'an is often shrouded in mist, like a fairyland 🌁. This time, we went to Mount Mengding in Ya'an and entered a mysterious misty forest 🌲. In front of us was a seemingly endless path, with stone steps covered in moss, as if taking us back to the era of the Tea Horse Road. The temperature on the mountain is only 23°C even during the day 🌡️, making it an ideal place to escape the summer heat near Chengdu. The mountain is covered with tea fields, and the air is filled with the fragrance of tea 🍃. We also brought Pepsi's White Pomelo and Green Bamboo flavor, and just by opening the bottle, you can smell the faint scent of bamboo 🎋. This complements the fresh mist and tea fragrance around us, refreshing our spirits. The unique bamboo flavor is refreshing, and the bubbles dance in your mouth 💦, making it a perfect summer drink. Ya'an is also the hometown of giant pandas 🐼, so it's the perfect place to enjoy Pepsi's bamboo-flavored drink. 📍[Location] Mount Mengding, Ya'an, Sichuan 🎫[Tickets] CNY 30 for adults 💸 🚶🏻‍♂️[Recommended Routes] 1️⃣ Basic: Take the cable car up and down, but you'll miss the beautiful scenery of the ancient path 🚠. 2️⃣ Intermediate: Take the cable car up the mountain, then walk down the ancient path to experience its charm 🏞️. 3️⃣ Advanced: Walk up the mountain via the ancient path - Ganlu Temple - Tiangai Temple at the top - then walk down the ancient path to fully experience the charm of Mount Mengding 🌄.
