[2025 Shimian Stay] Travel Guide for Tongqu 108.INN (Updated May)

I really needed a trip to escape the city recently! This time, I chose Yingjing and Shimian in Ya'an, two small and popular towns full of local life, and I was really healed! # *Day 1: Yingjing - A Collision of Forests and Ancient Charm* 🌲 *Recommended Activities: Yingjing Yunfeng Temple The temple is built on a mountain, simple and quiet, with a sense of mystery in the smoke. The ancient trees around the temple tower into the sky. Walking here, it seems that time has slowed down, which is especially suitable for emptying your mind. Longcanggou National Forest Park The forest coverage rate is super high, and the air is so fresh that people can't help but take a deep breath. The hiking route is very friendly and suitable for lazy people like me who don't usually exercise. Sisters who like the forest style must come here. You can take great photos easily. 🍽 *Recommended Food: Yingjing Tarta Noodles* Tarta noodles have a chewy taste and delicious soup. With the local chili sauce, it's amazing! There is also Yingjing Bangbang Chicken, which is spicy and delicious. After eating it, you still want to pack it and take it away! *Recommended Accommodation: Longcanggou 108 Guest House* This B&B really surprised me! It is a retro-style B&B hidden in the green trees. You can hear the sound of insects at night, which is super relaxing. The room design is very warm and the facilities are complete. The main point is that the owner is super nice and will recommend nearby travel routes! --- # *Day 2: Shimian - A Fusion of History and Nature* *Recommended Activities: Anshunchang* A small attraction full of history. This is a memorial site of the Red Army's Long March. There is no entrance fee. The stone roads, old houses, and the life of the local residents make people relax instantly. It is very pleasant to walk along the Dadu River and blow the wind. *Recommended Activities: Menghuo City* Here, you can have a broad view of the grassland and the original forest, as if you have entered the animation world of Hayao Miyazaki. Sisters who like natural scenery must not miss it! **Recommended Activities: Yele Lake** Yele Lake is really as beautiful as a painting! The lake is crystal clear, and under the blue sky and white clouds are continuous meadows and cattle and sheep. You can take great photos easily. It has not been over-developed and retains the most original natural features. It is suitable for friends who like quietness to relax and empty their minds. 🍽 **Recommended Food: Shimian Barbecue** You must go to Huoshangpiao Barbecue! I recommend trying grilled fish fillets and grilled kidney slices, with a special dipping sauce. It's so great! **Recommended Accommodation: Shimian Tongqu 108 Community** This B&B is rebuilt from the old site of the Sichuan Mine, full of industrial style, with a super view! The room is in a Wabi-sabi style, clean and comfortable. There is also an open-air cinema on the rooftop. It is really comfortable to sit on the rooftop and blow the wind at night. The B&B courtyard is full of cacti, which are very beautiful for taking pictures! --- # *Travel Tips* 1. It is very convenient to drive by yourself, which is suitable for weekend short trips. 2. Shimian barbecue is only open after 5 pm, so you can't eat it at noon. 3. It is windy by Yele Lake, so pay attention to sun protection and keep warm. This trip really made me completely relaxed. The two small towns have their own charms. I recommend them to those of you who want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city! 💕 Leave a message to get a tried-and-true Shimian barbecue restaurant.
