Spending the rest of my life here until retirement

A weekend day trip from Chengdu, I unexpectedly found my ideal retirement paradise in Tianquan County, Ya'an—the Sichuan-Tibet Tea Horse Post hidden beside National Highway 318. I want to live here until retirement😀! A 3-hour self-drive from Chengdu🚗, the moment you step into this late Qing Dynasty Western Sichuan village, you are instantly healed by the endless green mountains and clear waters🌿. Wooden guesthouses with windows overlooking the mountains⛰️, falling asleep to the sound of babbling streams at night🌙, waking up to birdsong in the morning🐦, no traffic noise, only the tranquility and freshness of the mountains. Healthy and delicious food, farmhouse cured meat stir-fried over a wood fire, so fragrant it’s intoxicating🥓; hot pot by the mountain stream, unbelievably fresh🍲; barbecue under the starry sky with beer🍻, the kind of comfort that’s unparalleled❗ There are plenty of outdoor activities here too! ✅ Swim in the mountain spring pool in summer🏊🏻‍♀️ to cool down and relieve stress💦; ✅ Take kids to do intangible cultural heritage tie-dyeing and lacquer fan making; ✅ Carry bamboo baskets to pick wild vegetables and dig bamboo shoots🥬; ✅ Get close to little lambs and rabbits🐇, and wear Hanfu to shoot ancient-style photos👘. You can also check out nearby spots: 15 minutes to Caviar Town to unlock the divine combo of Tibetan tea and sturgeon; 20 minutes to Red Army Village for a red tourism experience🚩, and before leaving, bring back some old cured meat and wild honey🍯. Here, life moves at just the right slow pace⏳, drinking tea, chatting, and enjoying the scenery🍵. My retirement plan is locked in here early—are you ready to escape the rat race with me?👇
