Go for it during Qingming! A 1-hour Direct Trip from Chengdu to a 10,000-Mu Pear Blossom Paradise!
The long-awaited Qingming holiday is finally here!
How can I not go out and have some fun, given my stunning looks (just kidding)?
I, Rong Mei'er, locked in a new flower-viewing and hiking spot last week, and it's finally in full bloom this week! After a field trip, it didn't disappoint me:
✅ A free, secluded spot for a spring outing that I'm reluctant to share, with pear blossoms blooming all over the mountains!
✅ A 10-minute drive away, you can see peach blossoms, February orchids, camellias, and cherry blossoms all in one go!
✅ Authentic local restaurants recommended by locals, a seriously underrated treasure trove of delicious food!
It only takes an hour to drive from Chengdu. It's no exaggeration to say that it's the closest, least crowded, and quietest place to enjoy spring flowers near Chengdu. Let's go and be "Tao Yuanming" for a day with Rong Mei'er~
"Like a spring breeze overnight, thousands of trees bloom with pear blossoms."
Compared to the popular Longquanyi peach blossoms, Jinchuan pear blossoms, and Qingbaijiang cherry blossoms, the thousands of acres of pear blossoms hidden in Xiyu Village in Pengzhou silently depict a "secluded pear paradise" landscape...
The flowers hadn't bloomed last week, so Rong Mei'er has been secretly watching. After a rain this weekend, the pear blossoms are in full bloom, giving me a lot of surprises.
The flowering period of pear blossoms in Xiyu Village is later this year. The pear blossoms, which usually bloom in mid-March, have only started to bloom this week. Latest news: The pear blossoms in Xiyu Village have already bloomed these days.
Pear blossoms are blooming all over the mountains for several miles, and the entire village is dyed white, which is spectacular and beautiful.
The key is that it's completely free. The pear trees are dense here, and spring is everywhere you look.
The sidewalks are lined with pear blossoms, and the pure white petals flicker in the sun, making people want to smell them. (You better hold back, the pear blossoms smell a bit stinky, don't ask me how I know)
Walking through the small road, the spring breeze is blowing, and a tree of fallen flowers is colorful, and it is extremely romantic to shower in a pear blossom spring rain.
Standing at a high place, you will see the sightseeing boardwalks and field paths interwoven, and tourists walking through them, which creates a picture of pear blossoms in full bloom.
At the highest point of the pear blossom sea, there is also a viewing building. Walk around the viewing building for a week and overlook the pear blossoms.
It is also very pleasant to take pictures and drink tea in the farmhouses next to it. It can be said that there is no difficulty at all, and lazy people are very happy!
The most surprising thing is that there is also a Xiyu Pear Blossom Reading Rural Library hidden here. If you are tired of shopping, come here to drink coffee and take pictures.
The library was built among thousands of acres of pear trees. The roof has the texture of a thatched house, and there is also a 360° viewing position with a great view.
Pushing open the window, the blooming pear blossoms will extend into the room, and the entire library is surrounded by flowers and fragrance. You can calm down and read while admiring the romantic spring outside the floor-to-ceiling windows~
You can also spread a picnic mat under the pear trees, install a hammock, blow the leisurely spring breeze, and watch the petals fall from the top of your head, which is pleasing to the eye.
If you have pets at home, don't forget to bring them out to play, breathe fresh air, and feel the beauty of spring.
Pear blossoms are highly ornamental, and the photo output rate is high, which is very suitable for a day trip. There are almost no people going during the week, so it is recommended to leave early on weekends and holidays~
Recommended food:
✅ Jiuchi Popo Restaurant
This restaurant is the undisputed internet celebrity in Jiuchi Town. If you want to eat it, you must go early! Rong Mei'er only had two dishes when she arrived at 12 o'clock.
This restaurant is the origin of boneless meat. Regardless of whether it is true or false, the signature dish "Cold Boneless Meat" is really delicious.
The aroma of red oil is mixed with the toughness of the boneless meat. After eating a piece, you will understand what it means to have a lingering fragrance on your lips and teeth. The free bone soup is so fresh that your eyebrows will fall off. Remember to drink a few more bowls.
Also, be sure to arrive at the store before 11:30, otherwise you won't be able to eat it~
✅ Haiwozi Fan Goose Meat
On the way back from Mount Gexian, there were many goose meat sellers along the way near Haiwozi Ancient Town.
Among the many goose meats, only this one has an explosive reputation. When people come here to escape the summer heat, they line up to buy oily goose. This 24-year-old store is really good.
The marinated goose meat is more flavorful, and it is unexpectedly fragrant after being blanched in oil for a few times. The skin and meat are crispy, tender, and juicy. You can only get its essence if you eat it fresh.
Between the aunt's swift movements, half a goose has been chopped into beautiful squares. The freshly made goose meat has the residual temperature from the oil pan, and it is fresh, tender, and juicy when you bite into it. Delicious!
✅ Scissors Potato
Pengzhou's potatoes have long been famous. In Jinlin Vegetable Market, there are two stores, please identify "Scissors Potato".
The potatoes are cut with scissors, mixed with seasonings, and injected with the soul of Houttuynia cordata, which is especially fragrant!
Walk another 3 min, and the ice jelly and shaved ice in Maoxiang Old Street next to it are also unique in Pengzhou~
