The hidden gem around Chengdu is a great place to escape the city's exhaust fumes and smog. Whether you want to take a walk or just relax, you always need to be healed. Fortunately, I found a beautiful homestay. Both the service and the scenery are great. Shangshan Shang·Yari Sa·Yuquan Tea House 3rd Group, Shiyi Village, Qushan Town, Beichuan Qiang Autonomous County, Mianyang City It takes about 3 hours to drive from Chengdu. The altitude is over 1,000 meters. It's still a bit cold in the morning and evening this season, so it's recommended to bring a coat. The homestay service is very good, everyone is very enthusiastic, the environment and facilities are complete, and the quality of various supplies is good. The homestay has a cooperation with a tea garden, but it is not the tea picking season and you can't visit the tea garden. The homestay has a strong sense of design and aesthetics, which is very much to our liking. The three of us stayed in the suite with the best view, and the room was very photogenic both inside and outside! It was raining when we set off the day before, and we didn't have much hope for the next day. But!! It cleared up unexpectedly!! The camera kept clicking and couldn't stop at all. Keep taking deep breaths, as if your whole body is being purified from the inside out. The lunch and dinner provided by the hotel need to be booked in advance, and the butler will contact you via WeChat after booking. You can choose between hot pot and Sichuan cuisine. We chose hot pot. The breakfast is the standard of Ligongge Mountain White Fresh Milk Homestay.

Recently, there was a rare short holiday, and I finally got to visit Jiuhuang Mountain, a place I had wanted to go to for a long time. I booked the vehicle in advance, planned the route, and everything was ready, just waiting for the day we set off. We took the cable car 🚠 and enjoyed the beautiful scenery along the way. At the square, we even encountered a welcome ceremony where young men and women performed a welcoming dance 💃 for us and offered me a welcome drink. It was truly warm and hospitable! After a short rest, we tried the local specialty snacks and visited the Ape King Cave and Lover’s Bridge. The design of each scenic spot amazed me, and every photo I took turned out to be a beautiful masterpiece 📷. Honestly, the Sarang Carnival Night was so much fun. The Qiang ethnic young men and women prepared a welcoming toast dance. People from all over the world gathered together, drinking, chatting, and dancing to traditional dances. The atmosphere was really lively. We also enjoyed roasted whole lamb and authentic local wine 😌. The next day, we visited the Cloud Farm. The vast grassland was truly inspiring. If you have the chance to come, don’t miss the rainbow slide and mountain off-road vehicles. It was a wonderful trip to Jiuhuang Mountain. If you’re tempted, hurry up and make your plans too 👭.

Take my advice, if you come to Sichuan, don’t miss Jiuhuang Mountain. Spend two days during the May Day holiday, and the whole family will have an amazing time! It’s located in Beichuan Qiang Autonomous County, Mianyang, Sichuan. You can drive from Chengdu via highway in just 2.5 hours. The scenic area has its own parking lot, the road conditions are excellent, and traveling is completely hassle-free. Don’t just plan for one day here; it’s too rushed and you won’t fully enjoy it. Taking two leisurely days to explore and eat is the right way to experience it. Plus, it’s currently the annual Salang Festival, where you can immerse yourself in authentic Qiang culture, with the atmosphere at its peak. 🌿 Day 1: Easy and relaxed exploration Start from the Visitor Center, then check in at West Qiang Square and the Heavenly King Hall, followed by a visit to the Cloud Farm to enjoy pastoral fun. Here you can pick fresh vegetables and feed adorable animals. The white aerial staircase is perfect for photos, every shot looks like a masterpiece in the clouds. Don’t miss the Salang evening party, with Qiang NPC parades and interactions, thousands gathered around the bonfire dancing the Salang dance. There’s also crispy, flavorful roasted whole lamb and special Zha wine—eating and playing at the same time is super fun. ⛰️ Day 2: Hit the core scenic spots On the second day, head straight to the Dangerous Mountain Platform and Guanyin Cliff to unlock the must-see highlights. The stalactites in Ape King Cave come in various shapes and look especially magical under the lights, as if you’ve entered a mysterious underground world. Walking on the Lover’s Bridge suspension bridge, beneath your feet is a deep valley surrounded by green mountains—thrilling yet healing. The cliff plank road is a must-challenge, with a steep cliff on one side and lush greenery on the other, hiking here is breathtaking. Finally, visit the Qiang watchtowers to experience the unique Qiang architectural style. ✨ Travel tips Remember to bring hiking poles; those with good stamina who complete the hike can receive a beautiful medal. The mountain area has strong UV rays, so be sure to protect yourself from the sun and bring a lightweight sun-protective jacket. Strolling along the quiet primitive trails, surrounded closely by nature, all worries will be healed. Choosing this spot for a family trip during May Day is definitely the right choice!

📌Yaowang Valley in Mianyang, Sichuan, is a national 4A-level scenic area. It boasts China's largest ancient magnolia forest, with many trees aged between 400 and 500 years. 🌸I initially thought the purplish-pink magnolia flowers were magnolia blossoms, but locals don't agree. They believe only the flowers of wild trees over 20 meters tall in the mountains are called magnolia blossoms. ✅Travel Guide: ⛩️Address: Linfeng Village, Guixi Town, Beichuan Qiang Autonomous County, Mianyang City, Sichuan Province 🌟Ticket Price: 75 RMB (discounts available on various platforms) 🚗Transportation: Recommended by car from Chengdu, Mianyang, or Jiangyou 🏠Accommodation: Hotels and guesthouses are available within the scenic area. 👉Flowering Season: Usually from late March to early April ✅Tips: 1️⃣Booking a hotel or guesthouse within the scenic area can save on ticket costs. 2️⃣Most hotels and guesthouses include breakfast and also offer lunch and dinner at reasonable prices. I especially loved the steamed eggs with magnolia flowers. 3️⃣We stayed in a room with a view, and we watched the sunrise from bed early in the morning (see picture 14). It was super nice! 🌟How to Enjoy: 1️⃣Hiking: The entire route is 11.8 kilometers long, with excellent road conditions, making it a light hike. 2️⃣Scenic area shuttle bus: The fare is 40 yuan. It stops at every station. If you can't wait for the bus, you can call the number on the station sign to arrange for a shuttle to pick you up. 📍How to Take the Shuttle Bus: 1️⃣Start at "Moon Square," take photos, and then take the scenic area shuttle bus to Stone City. 2️⃣After exploring Stone City, continue on the shuttle bus to the second stop, "Magnolia Flower Phase II." 3️⃣After getting off at Magnolia Flower Phase II, walk along the flower-lined path to the third stop, "Pig Trough Well," which takes about half an hour. 4️⃣ Board the bus at Pig Trough Well. When you reach the starting point of the Black Forest, the driver will ask everyone to get off and cross the Black Forest. The bus will wait for you at "Black Forest Square." 5️⃣ Get back on the bus and return to Moon Square. 🌸Magnolia flowers are truly beautiful, growing high on the trees, completely different from the purple-pink magnolias you see in the city. You'll find these flowers possess a certain elegance. 🌟I especially enjoyed crossing the Black Forest. It reminded me of Fangorn Forest in *The Lord of the Rings*. Every photo I took there was a masterpiece of light and shadow.

Spring in Sichuan is a romance that blooms from the plains to the plateau.

In Mianyang during March and April, the spring breeze gently sweeps through the Qiang villages in the valleys, and pear blossoms like snow adorn the rural paths. Avoid the crowds at popular attractions and discover these two lesser-known travel destinations that hold the purest springtime charm. Perfect for short trips to relax and unwind, each can be explored for just around 100 RMB per person, unlocking a full dose of springtime healing✨ 📍Secret Spot 1: Beichuan Xiaozhaizi Valley 🌊 (Pristine Ecological Hiking Secret) Hidden in the Qiang-Tibetan countryside of Beichuan’s Qing area, this pristine secret spot remains undeveloped. From March to April, new greenery sprouts and streams babble, making it an excellent escape from the hustle and bustle🌿 Known as a “species gene bank,” tender shoots break through the soil on the mountainsides, wild cherry blossoms dot the cliffs, and the air is filled with the fresh scent of plants. ✅ Transportation: About 2.5 hours by car from Mianyang, take the G5 Jingkun Expressway to the Beichuan exit, then continue along Provincial Road S302 directly to the destination. The road conditions are good and suitable even for novice drivers. ✅ Highlights: Mainly light hiking, recommended route is Zhenghe plank road → Lingbingyan Gorge, about 3-4 hours total, moderate difficulty, ideal for families or friends. Along the way, you can see waterfalls, flowing springs, and stunning stalactite formations, and may encounter Qiang ethnic villages. Stay overnight at a local guesthouse for 120 RMB per person, including meals, to experience authentic Qiang cuisine. ✅ Tips: Wear anti-slip hiking shoes, bring a light jacket (it’s slightly cool in the mountains), apply sun protection, do not litter, and help preserve the pristine environment. 📍Secret Spot 2: Anzhou Honghuayuan Village 🌸 (Poetic Land of Pear Blossoms) Compared to popular flower seas, the thousand-acre pear blossoms here feel more tranquil. The best viewing period is from late March to early April, when the hills are covered in pear flowers like clouds and snow, enhanced by traditional cultural activities for a fully immersive atmosphere🤍 The best part is fewer crowds, making it perfect for photos with a 100% success rate. ✅ Transportation: About 1 hour by car from Mianyang, navigate to “Anzhou Honghuayuan Scenic Area.” Free parking is available inside the park, making transportation convenient. ✅ Highlights: Stroll along the pear orchard paths, admire the contrast of ancient trees and new blossoms, and participate in traditional cultural activities such as ancient-style NPC parades, touhu (pitch-pot), and poetry flower games for an immersive poetic spring experience. Nearby local farmhouses offer specialties like Huagai beef and cold mixed native chicken, with meals costing just a few dozen RMB per person. ✅ Tips: Wear light-colored clothes for better photos, the best viewing time is before 10 a.m. (fewer people and good light), bring your own drinking water, and enjoy the flowers responsibly without picking or damaging them. 💡 Spring Summary: Both spots are free to visit (Xiaozhaizi Valley has no entrance fee, and Honghuayuan Scenic Area is free). You can visit one spot in a day at a relaxed pace without rushing. Mianyang in March-April lacks the summer heat, offering only gentle breezes, blooming flowers, and pristine natural beauty. Take advantage of the perfect springtime and embark on a lesser-known spring outing🌟

Spring at Jiuhuangshan is the epitome of gentle warmth and bright scenery.
