Bipenggou (畢棚溝), I thought I had wandered into Europe.
We hired a driver to take us from Sichuan Chengdu to Bipenggou in the middle of October. It was truly a enchanting place. It had everything we had hoped for: stunning lakes adorned with autumn foliage, majestic snow mountains, and impressive waterfalls.
I showed the photos to an European friend, he said that it looked remarkably similar to Europe.
Bipenggou is truly a breathtaking and picturesque part of China. I will definitely return for more one day!

Sichuan Dagu Glacier: Lakes like mirrors, magnificent mountains!
I went to Dagu Glacier in Sichuan in October, and on the way to the ropeway in the scenic spot, there were hundreds of monkeys begging on both sides of the road, and there were calm lakes. When arriving at the glacier, the altitude is more than 4,000 meters, which varies from person to person. Some people need to sit down and take oxygen, but young people can do various stunts easily. There is a cafe on the top of the mountain, there is heating in the room, and the view is excellent. Standing on a hill overlooking the magnificent mountains, taking a photo or film is excellent.

The first Portuguese-style hotel in the Asia-Pacific region, TiwoLi in Chengdu Intangible Cultural Heritage Expo Park.
As the first Tivoli brand in the Asia-Pacific region, it was natural to come and experience it. The hotel is located next to the Intangible Cultural Heritage Expo Park, and the park environment goes without saying. The lobby has a double-height ceiling, and the lighting fixtures are very exquisite. From below, they look like suspended pages of a book, and from the second floor, they resemble the roof of an ancient building. After arriving at the front desk, the style suddenly changes, and you are instantly transported to a pixel world in mosaic style. The entire public area has many exquisite designs, such as metal column-shaped patterned lamps, elevator areas like time tunnels, and guest room areas decorated with rainbow ribbons, all of which are worth exploring carefully.
This time, the hotel gave us a relatively large room, which is the area protruding from the exterior glass. It is larger than the ordinary room, and the hotel placed a dynamic exercise bike in the extra area. Actually, this design is a bit wasteful, and this room does not have the unique double basin that other rooms have. The overall decoration style of the room is modern, and the furniture is relatively high-quality. The welcome fruit includes Tivoli's representative Portuguese egg tart.
The hotel park has a holiday atmosphere, but some iconic water features were not turned on. The sunken rest area by the river is relatively distinctive, but overall, it still falls short of the luxury positioning. However, as a city resort in Chengdu, it is still a good choice.

Erlang Temple - Litang County
Erlang Temple is located in Litang County near the Benge township on the 217 National Highway between Litang and Doacheng.
The temple is very old, small and remote but very peaceful. We were lucky enough to talk with the resident monk who had lived there for many years and showed us the inside of the temple where he lives.
Alongside the temple is a small mountain which visitors can walk up. The path is a very well maintained boardwalk and the only challenge visitors might face is the altitude as the temple sits around 4000m in altitude. When sitting on top of the mountain, it is absolutely silent.
Getting There - The temple is accessible by car only and is located 13km outside Litang city, about a 15 minute drive.
