📍Navigation: Wanggangping Scenic Area 🚗260 km from Chengdu; about 3.5 hours by car 💰Ticket + round-trip cable car + sightseeing bus: 111/person 🗻Altitude: 2,400 m at Daping, 2,800 m at Sanping ✅Recommended time: Go early. The cable car starts running at 8:30. The best view on the mountain is from 7:00 to 11:30. After that, it is easy to get foggy, and you can't see the blue sky, and some of the snow will melt. But you need to bring all the clothes and equipment, as it is cold, but the snow is thick. It is snowing in Wanggangping, Sichuan! ❄️❄️❄️ It really looks like a scene from a fairy tale. You can easily see the sunrise, the golden mountain, the rime, and the fairy tale in the snow, and see the real Gongga Mountain. All of these can be easily realized in Wanggangping, which saves us a plane ticket to another province! 🌄View: Only 30 km in a straight line from the main peak of Gongga, the snow-capped mountain scenery is super stunning. 🚌Transportation in the scenic area: Take the cloud cable car up the mountain for about 20 minutes, and then transfer to a sightseeing bus to the Sanping Ghost Forest area. ⏰Cable car operation time: 8:00–17:00 on weekdays; 8:00–18:00 on weekends.

I learned about Menghuo City in Ya'an from a friend who loved photography. After he drove here with his family, I realized that this scenic spot has many historical stories. Menghuo City is located in Liziping Township, Shimian County, Ya'an City, Sichuan Province. It is located at the junction of Ya'an District and Liangshan Prefecture. It is the southern gate of Ya'an City. The scenic area is adjacent to the Liziping National Nature Reserve, so rare animals and plants can be often seen. "Boundless Menghuo City, the Home of the Soul" is the image positioning of the scenic spot, which allows limited thinking to be integrated into the boundless natural environment and find a home for the soul. Nearly 10 years have passed since I learned about Menghuo City and today when I first came here. For some reason, that friend deleted the contact information of me and all my friends one day. Many years later we found out that he had passed away due to a serious illness. The reason he deleted us from his address book was because he didn't want us to be too sad when we faced separation. Standing between heaven and earth at the empty tomb of Meng Huo City, what comes to my mind is his voice, appearance and smile. The scenery is beautiful, but the person is gone, and I can't help feeling sad. Nothing in this world is eternal, and what is lost will never come back. Only by cherishing what we have now and living healthily can we realize the essential meaning of life.

A homestay that offers ultimate comfort in the mountains~ If you want to escape the tourist crowds, you must come stay in the mountains After visiting Chengdu's giant pandas and paying respects at the Leshan Giant Buddha amidst bustling crowds, we chose to retreat to the tranquility of Xieluobaozi Village in Shimian County, Ya'an We stayed at Xiyale Homestay, which features hot springs, three meals a day, and a gym They even thoughtfully provided steamed egg custard and baby noodles for our little one We arrived by car at 8:30 pm yesterday and enjoyed their specialty cured pork ribs with free-range chicken and mushroom soup - absolutely delicious! After dinner, we soaked in the hot springs, which our child especially loved. The mountain air is incredibly fresh. Waking up in the morning and drawing the curtains to see the rolling mountains, with every room entrance surrounded by flowers and greenery - the stone walls and blue-tiled roofs create a perfectly beautiful mood.

In the southwest of Sichuan, there is a city surrounded by green mountains and green waters - Ya'an. It is not only the "hometown of pandas", but also an important post station on the Tea Horse Road, known as the "throat of western Sichuan", "gateway to Tibet" and "corridor of nations". The food here is like the city’s business card, each dish exuding a unique charm that makes you endlessly memorable. Follow it down and let us walk into Ya'an and embark on a wonderful journey on the tip of our tongues. Yayu: the delicacies in the Zhougong River The Zhougong River in Ya'an, with its clear current and suitable water temperature, has given birth to a unique fish - Yayu. The Yafish, scientifically known as the slit-bellied fish, is known for having a sharp “sword” in its snout, which is actually formed by the ossification of its snout mane, a symbol of Yafish identity. In Ya'an, the most classic way to eat is the casserole fish. Wash the fresh Yayu, put it in a casserole unique to Yujing, add the broth boiled with old hen and pork bones, then add onion slices, ginger slices, goji berries and other seasonings, and simmer over low heat. Over time, the delicious fish broth gradually thickens, and the tenderness of the yak fish is perfectly preserved in the milky white broth. A bite of fish meat melts in your mouth, delicate and refreshing; a sip of fish soup is fresh and fragrant, warming your whole body and mind. Casserole yak fish is not only a delicacy, but also a representative of Ya'an food culture, carrying the history and memory of the city. In the streets and alleys of Ya'an, there are many restaurants specializing in casserole Yayu, among which Meimei Yayu Restaurant (Xishu Tianti Store) is popular among diners. This shop's casserole fish is made from wild fish from the Zhougong River. The cooking skills are exquisite and the soup is fresh and delicious. Tart Noodles: The strong delicacy of Yujing In Yujing, there is a unique noodle dish – tart noodles, which has become a bright business card of Ya’an cuisine with its unique process and rich taste. The process of making tart noodles is full of art. The master mixes the flour and water in a certain proportion, kneads it into a dough, and then repeatedly beats and stretches it to make the dough become stronger. Next, the master uses a rolling pin to roll the dough into thin slices, and then cut into even thick and thin noodles with a knife. To cook the noodles, place the noodles in boiling water and allow them to float, then add the greens, bean sprouts and other side dishes, cook and drain. Finally, according to personal taste, add different kinds of tang, such as beef dou zi, mixed sauce broth, ribs broth. The tart noodles with beef tart noodles are tender and juicy, the tart noodles are spicy and rich, and perfectly blend with the strong noodles; There are many tart noodle shops in Yujing, the more famous of which are Zhou Kee Tart Noodle and Yan Dao No. 1 Tart Noodle. The tart noodles in these shops have their own characteristics, but they all attract many diners with their delicious taste and affordable prices. Asbestos barbecue: A feast for sight and taste When it comes to Ya’an cuisine, asbestos barbecue is definitely not to be missed. It has become a favorite among many diners with its unique grilling and rich ingredients. Asbestos grilling uses iron plate grilling, where the ingredients are placed on a hot iron plate, which gradually becomes golden and crispy as the temperature rises, exuding an enticing aroma. During the baking process, the master will sprinkle various seasonings such as salt, chili noodles, and cumin powder at the right time according to the ingredients. Asbestos barbecues are made with a wide variety of ingredients, including tender beef, lamb, pork, delicious fish and shrimp, shellfish, and various vegetables and mushrooms. Among them, beef is one of the signature ingredients of asbestos barbecue. Selected local premium beef, thinly sliced ​​and quickly grilled on an iron plate, the tenderness of the beef and the aroma of the seasoning blend together to make you want to stop. In addition to beef, grilled shrimp is a major feature of asbestos barbecue. Wash the fresh shrimps, place them on the iron plate, and grill them until the shells turn red and the shrimp meat is cooked through. Sprinkle with some pepper and salt. The shrimp meat is tender and juicy, and the shrimp shells are crispy and delicious. In Asbestos, there are many well-known barbecue restaurants such as Ye Feng Barbecue, Left Bank Barbecue, and Hao Man Barbecue. The barbecue in these shops has its own characteristics, but all attract diners with its fresh ingredients, unique grilling methods and delicious taste. Every night, these barbecue restaurants are brightly lit, with diners sitting around the grill, savoring the delicious barbecue and talking about life, forming a lively and warm picture. Lamb Soup: A warm comfort in winter On a cold winter day, a steaming bowl of lamb soup is undoubtedly the warmest comfort. Ya’an’s lamb soup is loved by locals for its delicious broth and delicate meat. The goats in Ya'an are mostly farmed in the wild, with less artificial intervention, which has achieved the characteristics of local goat meat that is delicate, fat but not greasy, and fresh and not smelly. When making lamb soup, wash the lamb, cut it into large pieces, put it in a pot, add the appropriate amount of water, ginger slices, onion slices, wine and other seasonings, bring to a boil over high heat, then turn to low heat and simmer. Over time, the aroma of lamb gradually spreads and the broth becomes thicker. The stewed lamb soup is milky white and fragrant. Take a sip of the soup and the delicious flavors instantly spread in your mouth and warm your whole body; eat a piece of lamb, which is tender and melts in your mouth, leaving you with endless aftertaste. In Ya'an, there are many restaurants specializing in lamb soup, among which the more famous ones are Li Mutton Soup and Wang Kee Mutton Soup. The lamb soup in these shops uses local quality lamb and uses traditional preparation techniques. Hanyuan squeezed noodles: a unique buckwheat delicacy Hanyuan squeezed noodles is a specialty delicacy in the Hanyuan region of Ya'an. It is loved by the locals for its unique preparation process and taste. The raw material for making squeezed noodles is mainly bitter buckwheat flour. To make it, knead the bitter buckwheat flour by mixing it with the right amount of water and knead it into a dough, then place the dough in a special noodle pressing tool and squeeze it firmly so that the dough is squeezed out of the small holes in the pressing tool to form elongated noodles. Cook the squeezed noodles in boiling water, drain and place in a bowl. Add the right seasonings such as spring onion, coriander, garlic, chili oil, pepper oil, vinegar, and soy sauce. The texture of the squeezed noodles is unique. The noodles are chewy and chewy, with the unique fragrance of bitter buckwheat. The combination of seasonings is also very particular. The spicy aroma of chili oil, the sesame aroma of pepper oil, the sourness of vinegar, and the salty aroma of soy sauce blend together to make the flavor of squeezed noodles richer. In Hanyuan, there are many small shops operating squeezed noodles. Although these small shops are not big, their business is very booming. Every dining time, the shop is always full of diners, who enjoy the delicious squeezed noodles while feeling the local customs of Hanyuan. Tianquan Pepper Chicken: Fresh and spicy taste bomb Tianquan Pepper Chicken is a traditional delicacy in the Tianquan area of ​​Ya'an. Its fresh and spicy taste is endless. To make Tianquan Pepper Hemp Chicken, we select local chickens raised by local farmers. The chicken is cooked, cut into small pieces and placed in a bowl. Next, make the chili sesame sauce. Cut the pepper, green pepper, millet spicy, ginger, garlic and other ingredients into fine pieces, put in a bowl, add the appropriate amount of salt, sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, chili oil and other seasonings, stir well to make pepper sesame sauce. Pour the chili sauce into the bowl with the chicken and mix well so that each piece of chicken is coated in the chili sauce. The chicken of Tianquan Pepper Chicken is tender and juicy, the taste of pepper and sesame sauce is rich and mellow, the spicy taste of pepper, the fresh fragrance of green pepper, the spicy taste of millet, and the fragrance of ginger and garlic are intertwined, forming a unique taste experience that makes people want to stop. In Tianquan, there are many restaurants where you can taste authentic Tianquan Pepper Chicken. Some of the old-fashioned restaurants, such as Qiaotou Pepper Chicken, make more authentic Pepper Chicken with their unique formula and exquisite cooking skills, which is loved by diners. The delicacies of Ya'an are far more than that. There are also many specialties such as Yujing Bangbang Chicken, Casserole Tofu, Ya'an Noodles, and Wooden Barrel Fish. Every delicacy carries the history, culture and customs of Ya'an, and every bite makes you feel the unique charm of the city. If you are a food lover, then you must not miss the food paradise of Ya’an. Come to Ya’an for a journey on the tip of your tongue and let your taste buds roam in a sea of ​​food. Ya'an·Sichuan

📍Wanggangping Scenic Area, the ticket plus cable car is 168. It is located in Shimian County, Ya'an, Sichuan Province, and is the closest natural viewing platform to Gongga Mountain. In the morning, you can see the sunrise over the mountains and the sea of clouds, and at night, you can see the stars 🌃 ❄️When it snows here, there will be frost, which is very beautiful. Because the temperature was very high when I went, the snow melted quickly. It is a pity that I didn't see it, but you can go now. 🏂There is also a ski resort here, with primary and intermediate slopes open. You can ski facing Gongga Mountain. To be honest, it is relatively small.

Sisters! Found a treasure hotel hidden in the red holy land! Last week, I checked in with my friends at Anshun Xinbo Hotel (Shimian Anshunchang Branch), and directly turned on the dual mode of "Red Feelings + Cloud Vacation".

Taking my child on a trip, I chose Anshun Chang as our first family destination and unexpectedly discovered a treasure of accommodation. The Anshun Xinbo Hotel (Shimian Anshun Chang Branch) created a red-themed educational journey for my child through its attention to detail and passion. 🏠Staying in a blend of history and nature We booked the Panda Family Room, which was thoughtfully arranged with a wooden rocking horse, separate wet and dry areas in the bathroom, and even children's bathrobes and cartoon towels. As a detail-oriented mom, I was extremely satisfied! 🌅Poetic breakfast in the morning light 1️⃣Opening the window at dawn revealed mountain views and orchards with refreshingly pleasant air🌞! The hotel's breakfast buffet completely transformed my perception of traditional hotel breakfasts — with a full 30 varieties of food, everyone in the family could find something they loved! 2️⃣The live cooking station was an absolute highlight: chefs prepared noodles, rice noodles, and wontons on the spot with rich, flavorful broths. The most exciting part was being able to add as much beef as you wanted to the beef noodles, making "beef freedom" no longer just a dream! My child ate two bowls, exclaiming how satisfying it was. 3️⃣The freshly made pastry section was equally impressive: thin-skinned, generously filled buns, fluffy soft steamed buns, and adorably shaped pastries, all freshly steamed and baked in the kitchen, with a delicious wheat aroma in every bite. There were also Anshun local specialties with authentic flavors. 4️⃣The children's special treats made kids squeal with delight: freshly made grilled sausages, cotton candy, and popcorn, each bite filled with childlike joy. My daughter spun around happily holding cotton candy bigger than her face! 🎭Dual experience of red education + nature exploration The Red Army's Dadu River Crossing site is just a few minutes' walk from the hotel. After listening to the guide's stories about the brave soldiers, my daughter earnestly said, "I want to learn to be brave like the Red Army aunties!" The hotel is also very close to Anshun Chang Ancient Town, about 100 meters away on foot. My daughter even picked out stone potted plants and stone ornaments as meaningful gifts for her grandparents. 🚗Driving-friendly + attentive service The hotel has an underground parking lot with free parking! The front desk provides tourism consulting services and helped us plan a two-day tour route of Wanggangping + Anshun Chang, which was very thoughtful. ✨This stay at Anshun Xinbo Hotel (Shimian Anshun Chang Branch) made me deeply realize that a good hotel is not just accommodation for your journey, but also a classroom for children's growth. Highly recommended!

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.

Calling all snow mountain enthusiasts and spring escape artists! Today, I'm recommending a magical place where you can experience the thrill of rolling in the snow and the joy of basking in the spring sunshine all at once—Meng Huo Cheng in Shimian County, Sichuan. At an altitude of 2,600 meters, with an average annual temperature of 17°C, Meng Huo Cheng offers not only snow-capped mountains and verdant meadows in spring but also the occasional spectacle of "the sun wearing a straw hat," a true testament to nature's whimsical side. Although spring has arrived, the high-altitude Meng Huo Cheng still retains the "chill" of winter. The roofs of the Yi villages nestled in the mountains are piled with remnants of snow, the yellow walls and green tiles set against the white snow resembling an overturned palette. Footprints and tire tracks crisscross the snow, as if Picasso himself had paid a visit. The snowy scenery near the Tuowu Mountain double-helix tunnel is even more magical. The winding mountain road resembles a snow-covered snake, and it's recommended to play the "Initial D" soundtrack while driving through, pretending to be Takumi Fujiwara (but don't actually drift, as the roads are slippery).
