As the night sky over Lotus Lake is illuminated by colorful lights, the Moshang Qingya Hotel becomes the gentle haven for this romantic evening stroll. 🌌 The night at Lotus Lake is like an overturned palette of colors. Walking along the wooden boardwalk into the depths of the lake, the trees are dyed with vibrant colors by neon lights—deep blue, gentle pink, warm gold—and the lights create a flowing galaxy on the water's surface. In the distance, the mountains blur their outlines in the night, and the wooden planks underfoot are illuminated by warm lights, like a path leading to a fairytale world. 🛏️ The night at Moshang Qingya is a gentle haven to unwind. Returning from the dreamlike lights and shadows of Lotus Lake, the elegant rooms at the Moshang Qingya Hotel are ready for you. Open the window to smell the fragrance of grass and trees, look up to see the city lights, and the soft bedding and tranquil atmosphere will allow you to let the romance and comfort of the day settle into a good night's sleep. Dazhou Slow Travel Tips 1. Night Tour of Lotus Lake: It's recommended to depart in the evening to enjoy the refreshing daytime lake scenery and the dazzling nighttime lights. 2.

Temporarily leaving behind the city's hustle and bustle, dive headfirst into the verdant embrace of Dazhou's Bashan Grand Canyon. Mist wanders among the layered peaks, the depth of the canyon and the lush greenery of the forest become the most healing sights to the eyes; the sky ladder on the cliff edge and the streams in the valley add a touch of natural wildness and grandeur. When tired from exploring, return to Moshang Qingya Hotel (Dazhou Shenghua Plaza Branch) to find comfort. The hotel's elegant style eases travel fatigue, and thoughtful service and convenient location make the Dazhou trip not only naturally stunning but also warmly welcoming. Half poetic landscape, half earthly charm, this Dazhou journey is just right. Moshang Qingya Hotel (Dazhou Shenghua Plaza Branch)

Yunqi Qingning, a Romantic Date on the Grassland Drive for an hour and enter the cloud secret realm of Qingning in Dazhou. The alpine grassland at an altitude of a thousand meters looks like a green jade held by the surrounding mountains, with over 1,000 acres of rolling grass. Gentle waves of green ripple where the wind passes. The grass beneath your feet is soft and thick, stepping on it feels like walking on clouds. The breeze carries the scent of the mountains and fields, bringing whispers from distant streams. Chuxin Lake lies quietly in the center of the grassland, its shimmering surface reflecting the blue sky, white clouds, and dark green mountains, blurring the line between reality and illusion. A popular wooden bridge spans the creek; strolling across it in light-colored dresses, the skirt sways with the grass, and every snapshot is wallpaper-worthy romance. Occasionally, horses from the nearby equestrian club walk by slowly, adding a lively touch to this verdant painting. As dusk deepens, rent a starry tent and sit quietly. Watch the sunset dye the river and sky red, see stars fill the dome above, and listen to the chorus of insects and wind. Here, there is no city noise, only the tranquility of mountains and water. Holding hands with your loved one while gazing at the mountains, time itself feels gentle and endless. The romance of Qingning is the embrace of grassland and clouds, the harmony of nature and soul, making one willingly intoxicated in this utopia above the clouds, reluctant to leave. Would you like me to help you put together a set of outfit recommendations perfect for grassland photos, to elevate the romantic atmosphere even more?

Covered in ice and snow, the karst peaks and frost-covered primeval forests transform this colorful paradise into a tranquil icy fairy tale world, perfect for families who enjoy peace and snowy landscapes. ❄️ Winter Activity Guide for the Three Major Scenic Areas Micang Mountain National Forest Park: The core scenic area. In winter, the snow-covered cedars and frost resemble jade branches and leaves; the streams in Heixiong Valley meander quietly and vividly through the ice and snow; taking the cable car up Xianglu Mountain offers a panoramic view of the vast snowy forest sea.

Traveling with my bestie on a short trip, choosing the right hotel really doubles the happiness! The hotel we booked this time gave us a great first impression from the moment we landed, no disappointments at all~ The thing that relieved us the most was the parking! When driving yourself, the worst is circling around looking for a spot. This hotel has a dedicated parking lot with plenty of well-organized spaces, so no need to struggle for a spot or worry about scratches. After parking, you can go straight to the lobby, and with just a few steps dragging your suitcase, you reach the elevator. For us carrying quite a bit of luggage, this was really thoughtful! The breakfast was an unexpected delight, definitely not just a simple meal! The variety was super rich, with Chinese congee, noodles, steamed buns, and fried dough sticks all freshly made and steaming hot; Western-style bread, bacon, and fried eggs were also well-stocked, plus fresh fruit, yogurt, and various snacks. Even the coffee was freshly ground, rich and aromatic. My bestie and I tried a bit of everything, feeling satisfied and comfortable, fully recharged for a day of sightseeing~ The service was impeccable, from the warm and patient front desk lady who handled our check-in, gave us detailed introductions to nearby attractions and restaurant recommendations, to the prompt responses whenever we had any requests during our stay. Once, we accidentally left our charger in the restaurant, and the staff quickly contacted us after finding it and even delivered it to our room. Their attitude was gentle and professional throughout, making us feel especially cared for. This trip was not only fun but the hotel experience was perfect—convenient parking, delicious breakfast, and thoughtful service. It’s quietly been added to our must-choose list for next time!

Yes, we are a hotel. But we want to be the "first attraction" and the "safe haven" on your Dazhou journey. ❶ Our location is "a bit clever" We chose to be next to Shenghua Square, not because it's the busiest area, but because starting from here saves your travel time so you can truly enjoy your trip.

Maybe the meaning of technology is to let you completely relax after a day of running around. We know that travel today is not just about "getting a good night's sleep." So quietly, we have done these things— To welcome you with the lively spirit of Dazhou when you open the door, and the elegant charm of Jiangnan when you close it; To let you spend your days in mountains and wilderness, and your nights among books and tea; To let you arrive full of anticipation and leave full of stories.

✨ Opening Bombshell: Why Choose Dazhou? "Don't go to Sichuan when you're young, don't leave Sichuan when you're old," but 90% of people go to the wrong place! Compared to the crowds of Chengdu and Chongqing, Dazhou is Sichuan's "treasure box"—it's the "Gas Capital of China," and also an overlooked food paradise and natural wonderland. A 3-day, 2-night trip for 500 RMB per person allows you to sample intangible cultural heritage cuisine, witness the sunrise over the sea of ​​clouds, and explore canyon boardwalks. The key is no crowds or queues, perfect for taking stunning photos! 🍜 Food Section: Eat until you're stuffed for 50 RMB per person, and indulge in intangible cultural heritage cuisine without hesitation! ✅ Lantern-Shaped Beef: Not from the supermarket! A century-old shop in the "Sansheng Palace Food Street" in the old town, its beef is as thin as a cicada's wing, spicy and fragrant, and so crispy it crumbles with every bite. 20 RMB per box makes an amazing souvenir! ✅ Gege: The breakfast soul of Dazhou! Glutinous rice steamed with pork ribs/pork intestines/lamb, drizzled with chili oil, 3 yuan each, served with a bowl of soy milk, so delicious you'll want to stomp your feet (recommended "Lao Difang Gege", a local's secret) ✅ Xu Duck: Freshly roasted and sold braised duck, crispy skin and tender meat, the aroma of the braising sauce permeates to the bone, 25 yuan for half a duck, a must-have snack for watching TV or rushing around. ✅ Fermented Rice Wine: A sweet treat for those with a sweet tooth! Glutinous rice + fermented rice + peanuts + sesame seeds, simmered over low heat, a warm bowl for 5 yuan, soothing and comforting to the stomach. ✅ Hidden Gem: "Dried Tofu Sandwich" and "Hot and Sour Noodles" in the alleys of the old town, a meal for under 10 yuan, full of local flavor! 🏞️ Attractions: Less crowded, beautiful scenery, enjoy the entire natural landscape. 🌅 Bataishan: "Little Emei of Eastern Sichuan", 90% chance of sunrise and sea of ​​clouds! Tickets + sightseeing bus: 100 RMB. We recommend staying at a mountaintop guesthouse (80 RMB per person). Climb for 20 minutes at 5 AM to reach the viewing platform. When the sea of ​​clouds surges, it feels like being in a fairyland. The plank road hangs precariously on the cliff edge, perfect for taking stunning photos. Off-the-beaten-path activities: Glass walkway, zip-lining, cloud sea camping. Avoid holidays to enjoy the entire mountain view. 🌊 Bashan Grand Canyon: The ultimate summer escape, average 23℃ in summer! Tickets: 80 RMB. Includes canyon rafting + cliffside plank road + Tujia village. A 5-hour experience with something different every day. Must-try: "Cloud Top Flying Bridge" glass bridge (688 meters long, with the canyon stream below). For the brave, try the "Cliff Swing" for a thrilling and stress-relieving experience. 🏯 Congren Valley: Ancient village + karst landforms Free! Caves, waterfalls, ancient plank roads, and the ruins of the "Congren Culture"—perfect for taking photos in Hanfu (traditional Han clothing). Low in commercialization, ideal for quiet contemplation and fresh air. 🏙️ Old Town Stroll: Sansheng Palace Food Street (eat + take photos of retro arcade buildings), Dragon Claw Tower (free tower climb, panoramic view of Dazhou), Zhouhe River Night View (after-dinner stroll, lights reflected on the river, incredibly soothing). 📝 3 Days 2 Nights Itinerary (Lazy Person's Guide) 🔹 Day 1: Arrive in Dazhou → Eat Gege (a local specialty) + Youlaozao (a type of fermented rice) in the Old Town → Shopping at Sansheng Palace Food Street → Stay at a hotel in the Old Town (average cost 60 RMB per person) 🔹 Day 2: Watch the sunrise at Batai Mountain → Visit the mountaintop plank road → Return to the city in the afternoon for Xu Duck → Night cruise on the Zhouhe River 🔹 Day 3: Bashan Grand Canyon Rafting + Glass Bridge → Buy Lantern-Shaped Beef as a souvenir before returning home. 💡 Practical Tips (Blogger's Secret Tips to Avoid Pitfalls) Transportation: Direct high-speed train from Chengdu/Chongqing to Dazhou (1.5 hours, fare 50 RMB). Taxi fare in the city starts at 6 RMB. Tourist shuttle buses between attractions are available (20 RMB/person). Accommodation: Convenient dining options in the old town. B&Bs on the summit of Batai Mountain are great for watching the sunrise; booking in advance is more cost-effective. Pitfalls to Avoid: Don't buy overpriced "Dengying Beef" at tourist attractions; supermarkets/old shops in the old town offer more authentic flavors. Remember to bring a change of clothes for rafting in Bashan Grand Canyon. Best Time to Visit: April-May (flower viewing), July-August (summer retreat), October-November (sea of ​​clouds + colorful forests) 🌟 Conclusion: Dazhou, a treasure trove of an old town worth visiting multiple times. Here, there's no hustle and bustle of trendy tourist spots, only authentic cuisine, soothing scenery, and a slow-paced lifestyle. When you're tired of crowded tourist hotspots, why not take a trip to Dazhou? Enjoy a bowl of Gege (a type of Sichuan rice noodle soup) in an alleyway, and witness a sea of ​​clouds at Batai Mountain. You'll discover that Sichuan's beauty extends far beyond Chengdu and Chongqing.

If you ask where to idly spend your weekend in Dazhou, I would point to Tatuo Wetland Park, that seasonal painting hidden on the edge of the city. 🍃【Summer · Cool Prelude】 When the midsummer sun shines on the Zhou River, this place becomes a natural summer resort. Jump into the clear river water, feel the gentle embrace of the flowing water. Children’s laughter ripples with the waves. This is the "Little Blue Bay" belonging to the people of Dazhou. ❄️【Winter · Sunset Love Song】 As the season turns quiet, Tatuo Wetland dons a gentle outfit. In the evening, the sunset drapes the river surface with a golden-red veil. Where the light shimmers, half is emerald green, half is rosy red like a flushed face. The scene described by Bai Juyi as "half the river is dark green, half is red" comes alive at this moment. Navigation: Dazhou Tatuo Wetland Park (free admission) Best viewing times: Summer swimming: 3:00 PM - 6:00 PM Winter sunset viewing: 4:00 PM - 5:30 PM (adjusted seasonally) Recommended photo spots: · Waterside platform: capture the shimmering waves · Scenic boardwalk: overlook the river’s color gradient · Reed beds: create a poetic atmosphere Essentials: Summer: swimsuit, towel, sunscreen Winter: thermos, camera, thick coat Here, time becomes soft, and every weekend can tell a different story, whether splashing and laughing, or quietly watching the sunset. This city oasis always awaits your arrival in its most beautiful form. 📷: Photo taken at Tatuo Wetland Park, please credit when reposting]
