Looking for a place not far from Xi’an that can satisfy kids’ play, adults’ relaxation, and the whole family’s cultural experience? The Taibai Mountain Tang Town area in Meixian, Baoji, is definitely a hidden gem. This time, we stayed at the Resly Hot Spring Resort Hotel there and spent a fulfilling yet leisurely weekend. 🏮 Our strategy: embrace nature by day, immerse in Tang charm by night. The Taibai Mountain area in winter is crisp and pure, with a unique flavor. 🌲 Nature Exploration (Taibai Mountain activities): Taibai Mountain is vast, so hiking with kids requires pacing. We chose an easy route: Take the Fuyunge Cableway: This cableway is relatively gentle. After reaching the upper station, you can explore the “Peach Blossom Land” scenic spot nearby. There are streams, small waterfalls (which may be frozen in winter), and gentle trails suitable for children. Honghuaping Area: Accessible by sightseeing shuttle. The views here are wide open, allowing close-up appreciation of Taibai Mountain’s massif. In winter, the snow-covered red birch forest is magnificent. You can build snowmen and have snowball fights here. Stroll in the park at the mountain’s base: If you don’t want to go up the mountain, the entrance area of Taibai Mountain National Forest Park is also beautiful, featuring Three Kingdoms culture-themed spots where you can tell stories to your kids as you walk. 🏯 Cultural Immersion (Tang Town activities): Daytime shopping: The town is relatively quiet during the day, perfect for leisurely browsing various cultural and creative shops and specialty stores, and buying small gifts for the kids. Nighttime festivities: The soul of Tang Town comes alive after dark. The regularly scheduled “Kaiyuan Prosperity” themed parade features performers in splendid costumes, grand and impressive. The light and water show combines music fountains and lighting effects, captivating the children. There are also street acrobatics, guzheng performances, and interactive activities. “Tang Dynasty Night” in the hot springs: Soaking in the hot springs at night offers a different feeling. The hotel’s hot spring pools are even more charming under the lights. You can imagine yourself as a high-ranking official of the Tang Dynasty enjoying your private bath. 🛏️ Accommodation options overview: Tang Town has several hotels and guesthouses, such as Yulong Bay Hot Spring Hotel and Shangjing Hot Spring Hotel, each with its own style. We chose Resly for its international brand standard service and a more modern, comfortable lodging experience (which contrasts interestingly with the external Tang-style), plus guaranteed hot spring water quality. 🍜 Taste of Western Fu cuisine: Be sure to try authentic Western Fu cuisine! The hotel breakfast includes saozi noodles. For main meals, we recommend local restaurants outside Tang Town to try saozi ribs, Qishan hand-rolled noodles, and saozi rou jia mo (meat sandwich) for a more authentic and intense flavor. At Taibai Mountain Tang Town · Resly Hot Spring Resort Hotel, we achieved “one-stop satisfaction.” The stunning natural scenery, the fun of historical culture, the healing hot springs, and the comfort of delicious food all come together here. It’s especially suitable as a short trip destination near Xi’an, allowing kids to learn while playing and the whole family to deepen bonds while relaxing. Such a weekend is worth experiencing again and again. ✨

When it comes to healing-style guesthouses in Western Sichuan, "Yunfuli Yunshu" at Yele Lake definitely has a name! It's a 4-hour drive from Chengdu, soaking in private hot springs while watching snowy mountains and lakes, being neighbors with cattle and sheep, and enjoying hot pot under the starry sky… This is not a movie scene, but my real stay experience👇 🌿 The King of Pristine Scenery • Open the window to an unfiltered view of Yele Lake; in the morning, herds of yaks slowly pass by the window, as if living in a scene from "Heidi, Girl of the Alps" • The viewing terrace offers both sunrise golden mountain views and lake reflections, a prime spot where photographers stake out at 5 a.m. • At night, look up to see the Milky Way! The host thoughtfully turns off surrounding lights, delighting starry sky lovers ♨️ Paradise for Private Hot Spring Lovers • Some room types come with their own hot spring pools (recommended: "Garden Hot Spring Room" and "Mountain View Hot Spring Room"), soaking while watching snow melt into the lake • Smart toilets + floor heating + humidifiers make high-altitude nights comfortably cozy • Light-colored decor paired with wooden furniture instantly creates warmth 🍖 Foodie Surprises • Must try the barbecue set!

Hot spring pool shots: Use a drone for an aerial view at dawn, with people tucked in the corner to highlight the extension of the pool and lake 2. Indoor portraits: Change into your favorite outfit, pick a good spot (sofa, bedside, hot spring pool, etc.), and every shot looks like a masterpiece 3. Animal interaction: Herds of cattle and sheep are everywhere on the mountain, lakeside, and roads; wear bright clothes to capture running shots 🚗 Travel Tips • From Chengdu, navigate to "Yunfuli Yunshu · Yele Lake Private Hot Spring Guesthouse"; be careful on the last 30 minutes of winding mountain roads, especially near monkey groups—if you stop, they might jump on your car and peek in asking for food, so stay safe • After October, it’s snow season; bring snow chains; in summer, remember sunscreen and mosquito repellent • The guesthouse can arrange light hikes nearby; the host will share secret spots only locals know Before leaving, write in the guestbook: "If there’s an address in the clouds, it must look like this place" ~ Highly recommended for those wanting to escape the city but worried about altitude sickness; the altitude here is about 2600 meters, personally tested with no headaches!

Hidden within Rotorua on New Zealand's North Island lies a magical giant forest—Redwoods Forest Park. This enchanting location served as a filming site for the movie "The Lord of the Rings," making visitors feel as though they've stepped into a fantasy realm. Covering an area of 55,000 hectares, Redwoods Forest is renowned worldwide as a hotspot for mountain biking, hiking, and horseback riding. Each tree here seems to whisper ancient tales. The tallest redwood reaches a height of 72 meters with a diameter of 169 centimeters, requiring five to six adults to encircle it. The forest features numerous well-designed trails catering to visitors of all preferences.

Redwoods Forest is home to a variety of trees from around the globe, creating a natural oxygen bar. It's an ideal destination for visitors to breathe in fresh air, immerse themselves in the essence of nature, and escape the hustle and bustle of city life.

Finished climbing Wuzhifeng Peak, feeling stretched but cold? Don’t worry, the essence of Mangshan has another half—the forest hot springs! Moreover, we found a hot spring hotel built right on the cliff edge, where you can soak in warm hot springs while gazing at the vast mountains, an ultimate experience of fire and ice, right here. 🌳 Mangshan Forest Hot Spring Guide At the foot of Mangshan, there are abundant natural hot spring resources, with many hotels channeling spring water indoors. Hot Spring Features: It is a high-quality silicate hot spring with a high water temperature. Soaking in the hot spring in the cold winter air, steam rising above your head, while watching the distant mountain scenery, is so comfortable that every pore opens up. Main Hot Spring Area: Concentrated in the “Hot Spring Town” area at the entrance of Mangshan Forest Park. 🏨 Legendary Work: Cliffside Hot Spring Hotel Recommendation This time we focused on a highly designed hotel—“Mangshan Fanye” (or other similar high-end hot spring hotels in the same area, such as the cliffside zone of “Mangshan Forest Hot Spring Hotel”). Location and Environment: The hotel is built against the mountain, with some room types having private hot spring pools, and the most amazing feature is its cliffside infinity public hot spring pool. The pool edge connects with the valley, as if swimming into a sea of clouds. Stay Experience: We booked a scenic room with a private hot spring. The room features minimalist natural wood style with ample floor heating. The private hot spring pool is on the balcony; in the evening, fill it with hot spring water, sprinkle petals provided by the hotel, and soak with your family while watching the mountain colors shift from bright to dark and stars gradually appear—extremely romantic. Family Facilities: Besides hot springs, the hotel also has a children’s playground and a book bar. Dinner is exquisite set meals or small hot pots with fresh ingredients. ♨️ Perfect Two-Day Itinerary (Leisure and Enjoyment Version) Day 1: Cloud Walk Depart from Chenzhou in the morning and arrive at Mangshan Wuzhifeng Scenic Area. Take the cable car up the mountain, tour the cliff plank road, and enjoy the rime and sea of clouds. In the afternoon, descend and check in directly at the “Mangshan Fanye” hot spring hotel. In the evening, soak in the private hot spring in your room or the public pool to relieve hiking fatigue. Day 2: Wake Up Naturally and Breathe Forest Oxygen Sleep in and enjoy a hearty breakfast at the hotel. In the morning, visit the nearby Mangshan National Forest Park (Monkey King Village, General Village, etc.), take a light forest hike along the stream, and breathe air rich in negative oxygen ions. Have a farmhouse meal at the forest park entrance at noon. In the afternoon, return home fully satisfied. 🌿 Another Quiet Choice: Homestays Deep in the Forest If you prefer a more secluded and nature-close feeling, you can look for boutique homestays converted from villagers’ houses deep in Mangshan. For example, “Mangshan Buzhichu,” which may require driving on a mountain road. They usually have only a few rooms, surrounded by bamboo groves and streams, with hot springs piped indoors. Here, the only sounds you hear are the wind, water, and birdsong—truly isolated from the world. Perfect for families wanting to completely unwind. 🍜 Food Exploration Inside the hotel: Quality guaranteed but limited choices. At the scenic area entrance: Restaurants like “Mangshan Yaojia” serve authentic cured meat steamed dishes, fern root cakes, and stir-fried stone chives with eggs. Cold-Dispelling Remedy: After soaking in the hot springs, drink a bowl of local ginger sugar water or sweet rice wine with egg to warm up from head to toe. 💎 Hot Spring Etiquette and Tips Avoid soaking on an empty stomach, after a heavy meal, or immediately after drinking alcohol; wait at least 1 hour. Time Control: Each soak should last 15-20 minutes, then get out to rest and hydrate. Child Supervision: The hot spring pool edges are slippery; always watch children closely and choose pools with suitable temperatures. Bring Your Own Swimsuit: Although the hotel sells them, bringing your own is more fitting and hygienic. When your body is immersed in warm spring water, with majestic snowy mountains and forests before your eyes, you will sincerely feel that this is the ultimate form of a winter holiday. The Mangshan trip is made perfect by this hot spring, becoming a beautiful memory of warmth and healing from body to soul.
