Don't stay home on weekends; this time I went to the artistic village of Pujiang—Mingyue Village. The whole village is serene, with tie-dye, pottery, tea sea, fruit picking... the experience is wonderful. In the evening, I stayed at a resort homestay in the village. 🏨 Miye · Mingyue Li The homestay is very quiet, with a Southeast Asian style. Looking up, you see orchards and tea gardens—peaceful and full of wild charm. The first floor is a public area with a book bar and a bar around a fireplace. You can drink tea 🍵, read books 📚, and enjoy a quiet weekend. There are water features both indoors and outdoors, along with tall banana trees. Taking photos 📸 here is perfect for a vacation vibe, instantly transporting you to Southeast Asia. The second floor has guest rooms. I love the style of the rooms: wooden shutters, white bedding, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a small balcony with a view. Listening to music and soaking in the private hot spring is incredibly relaxing. ♨️ My favorite is the infinity heated pool surrounded by the tea sea. At this time of year, soaking in a hot bath while gazing at the tea sea is truly healing. The homestay’s dinner is also very satisfying: a steaming tomato 🍅 hot pot paired with fresh beef and vegetables 🥬. It tastes great even without dipping sauce 😋. The Chinese breakfast is also a favorite. Escaping the city for two days and one night made time feel slower—completely healing.

A weekend outing with the kids! The light spring rain didn't dampen our spirits. We took umbrellas and drove to Mingyue Village to dig for bamboo shoots, enjoy delicious food, and soak up the spring atmosphere… 📍 Suggested Itinerary · Day 1: 🚗 Depart from Chengdu → Check into Xiaode Boutique Resort Hotel → Hotel lunch → Bamboo shoot digging → Explore Chenbangbang micro-village for tie-dyeing/pottery experiences → Flower viewing and photo opportunities → Return to hotel · Day 2: Hotel breakfast → Check-out → Visit a designated orchard to pick tangerines → Return home with a bountiful harvest. Highlight: 1️⃣ Discovering Spring · Bamboo Shoot Digging A spring rain overnight has brought forth a garden full of new bamboo shoots. The farmer told us that the bamboo shoots will be even bigger and more plentiful by Qingming Festival. Grab a small hoe and follow the village farmer to the bamboo forest for a "treasure hunt." Let the kids dig out the tender bamboo shoots hidden in the soil with their own hands, experiencing the joy of harvest. This is the most vivid natural classroom of spring. 【58 RMB for a 3-jin (1.5 kg) trial pack, additional 5 RMB per jin for each jin】 2️⃣ Harvest Sweetness · Picking Tangerines The branches in March still hold the last touch of golden sweetness. Walking into the orchard, the branches are bent low with the heavy weight of the tangerines. Break one open, and the juice bursts forth—the sweet taste of spring. Let the children pick them themselves and taste the freshest Vitamin C. 【4-5 RMB per jin, prices vary depending on the variety】 3️⃣ Encounter Romance · Flower Viewing Cycling or strolling along the village's greenway, cherry blossoms, plum blossoms, and rapeseed flowers bloom in profusion. The distant tea mountains and the nearby sea of ​​flowers complement each other, making every shot a masterpiece. You can also take the children to the "distant sunroom" to experience tie-dyeing, and feel the charm of pottery at the ancient Mingyue Kiln, bringing the colors of spring home. 🌙 Night · Homecoming | Let Your Heart Find Peace As night falls, the village, bustling all day, quiets down. Back at the hotel, I brewed a pot of tea, sat on the courtyard terrace, listened to the chorus of frogs, and gazed at the twinkling stars. At that moment, the city's hustle and bustle faded away, leaving only my loved ones and the most healing spring. 📌 Tips for Taking Kids • Tools for digging bamboo shoots and picking fruit are generally available locally; bring rain boots and gloves for your children. • The temperature difference between day and night is significant; remember to bring a light jacket for your children. • This spring, let's find spring together in Mingyue Village.

On the weekend, escape the noisy city with your little one and come to Pujiang, a suburb of Chengdu, to stay at Mingyue Hotel. This is not just a trip, but a spiritual cleansing. 🌿🍃 👶 Little surprises in the family room 🌟 Opening the door, a faint scent of tea welcomes you, and the room is decorated warmly and elegantly. Especially prepared for the little one are a children's bed and a small tent, instantly capturing their heart. Cute toys and a beautifully illustrated book are placed by the bedside. The little guy excitedly jumps onto the bed to start his "adventure." Outside the window, the tea mountains and bamboo sea seem within reach, as if you are inside a beautiful painting. 🌄 🌳 Peaceful moments in nature 🍃 In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight shines through the curtains, I take my little one for a walk in the hotel garden. Among the tea fields, the fresh air and birdsong make you feel like you’ve arrived in a paradise. The tea bags provided by the hotel allow us to enjoy tea on the terrace, savoring this rare peaceful moment. Occasionally, we see village aunties picking tea, and the children watch curiously, as if they have become little tea farmers. 👩‍🌾 🎨 A blend of culture and art 🎨 The hotel is not just a place to rest but also a cultural space full of artistic atmosphere. The book bar is filled with various books, from literature to art, everything you could want. Children can also join the hotel’s craft classes to learn pottery and painting, experiencing the charm of traditional crafts. Watching the little one so focused, I feel like I’ve returned to my childhood. 👩‍🎨 🍽️ A feast for the taste buds 🍽️ The hotel’s restaurant offers authentic Sichuan cuisine, with every dish leaving a lasting impression. Especially the delicious bamboo shoot soup, which is not only tasty but also very nutritious. Breakfast is also very rich, with various healthy grains to ensure the kids have plenty of energy for the day. At the dining table, the three of us chat about the fun moments of the trip, and happiness naturally arises. 👨‍👩‍👧 This trip not only allowed us to experience the beauty of nature but also brought our parent-child relationship closer. If you’re looking for a quiet haven, Pujiang Mingyue Hotel is definitely worth a try! ✨

Over the weekend, I took my little one and husband and drove to Mingyue Village in Pujiang, near Chengdu. There, I found a homestay I've been longing for—Shanben Rural Vacation Space Homestay. This was not just a simple trip, but more like an escape to the peaceful countryside away from the city's hustle and bustle. 🚗🌿 👶 A delightful discovery in the family room 🏡 Opening the door to Shanben Cottage felt like stepping into a poetic world. Our family room was decorated simply yet warmly, with several ink paintings on the walls that made us feel as if we were in the water towns of Jiangnan. What surprised me most was the children's corner in the room. As soon as my little one entered, he was attracted by the small furniture and toys designed especially for kids, especially the little tent, which became his own secret base. 🎉 🏊‍♀️ Refreshing experience at the popular swimming pool 💦 One of the highlights of Shanben Rural Vacation Space Homestay is its famous swimming pool. The crystal-clear water reflected the blue sky and white clouds, surrounded by lush greenery, like a paradise hidden away. On a summer afternoon, my husband and I played with our little one here, splashing water and laughing joyfully. He even learned to “shoot” with a small water gun, and his excited expression was absolutely adorable! 🌊 📚 A blend of knowledge and fun in family activities 📖 This place is not only a great vacation spot but also an educational and entertaining venue. The homestay regularly hosts various parent-child activities, such as digging for spring bamboo shoots, picking and frying tea leaves, allowing our family to experience the joys of farming firsthand. Especially during the tea-picking activity, my little one picked tea leaves by himself for the first time and learned how to fry tea using traditional methods. The sense of accomplishment made him happy for days. 🍃 🍽️ A feast of authentic Sichuan cuisine 🍜 The restaurant at Shanben Cottage is another highlight. The dishes mainly feature authentic Sichuan cuisine, delicious and generously portioned. The spicy diced chicken was especially flavorful, and my husband couldn’t stop praising it. My little one was particularly interested in the desserts, especially the handmade red bean cake, which was soft, glutinous, and sweet—his favorite. Every time he mentions Shanben Cottage, he says, “Mom, let’s go again, I want to eat red bean cake!” 🍰 This trip not only relaxed our bodies and minds but also strengthened our family bonds. Shanben Rural Vacation Space Homestay is more than just a hotel; it feels like a warm home that makes you reluctant to leave. If you’re looking for a place away from the city noise, why not come and experience it yourself? 🌟

#hellonewyear You are probably looking for the viral "Night Tour of Jinjiang River" (夜游锦江)! It starts at the historic Dongmen Wharf (East Gate Pier) and is hands down the best way to see Chengdu's skyline at night. It’s not just a boat ride; it’s a full light show where ancient poetry is projected onto the riverbanks. Here is everything you need to know! 👇 📍 Where to Start Go directly to Dongmen Wharf. Getting There: Take Metro Line 2 to Dongmen Bridge Station (Exit D is closest). It's right next to the Dongmen Bridge. • The Market: Before you board, explore the "Dongmen Market" at the pier. It’s full of hanfu (traditional clothing) rentals, tea stalls, and snacks. 🛥️ The Route & Highlights The cruise takes about 30-40 minutes and loops around the most scenic parts of the Jinjiang River. Hejiang Pavilion (Hejiangting): You’ll sail past this ancient pavilion where the two rivers meet. The light projections on the stone walls here are incredible. Anshun Bridge (Anshun Langqiao): This is the grand finale. The bridge glows golden-red and reflects perfectly in the water. It’s the most famous photo spot in Chengdu (and home to a very fancy restaurant inside!). • The Light Show: Look out for the "Poetry Corridor" where famous Tang dynasty poems float on digital screens along the riverbanks. 📝 Essential Tips • 🎟️ Tickets: Buy them WeChat (search "Night Tour of Jinjiang" mini-program) or at the ticket booth on the wharf. • Price: ~118 RMB (prices surge on holidays). • Book Early: Slots sell out fast, especially on weekends! • ⏰ Best Time: Go after 8:00 PM when the sky is pitch black. The lights look much better than at twilight. • 📸 Photo Hack: Sit at the back of the boat (it's open-air) for the clearest photos without glass reflections. Verdict: It feels like sailing through a video game. If you have time for only one night activity in Chengdu, this is it!

Pujiang Kandeng Mountain + Kandeng Temple A hidden paradise like no other Even locals rarely know about it But I really love this little ancient path Orchards, countryside, ancient trail, stone carvings, temples, and a warm-hearted abbot Everything is just perfectly beautiful. . 🚇【About Transportation】 Self-driving: Navigate to Pujiang Kandeng Mountain, about 1.5 hours, free parking. Public transport: From Chengdu West/East/South Station (ticket about 38 RMB/1H) — take the bus to Pujiang Chaoyang Lake Station — then you can take a taxi for 10 RMB to visit Feixiange Pavilion before continuing by taxi to Kandeng Mountain (get off at the fork near the parking area, there are signs at the parking spot). ❗️Note: After booking a ride-hailing car, the driver will most likely charge extra, about 25-30 RMB one way. It’s hard to get a taxi back, so keep the driver’s phone number and arrange the return trip in advance. . 🌳【About Hiking】 After arriving at the parking lot, don’t follow the driveway up → follow the Kandeng Temple signs forward → pass a pond → orchard → continue straight for about 5 minutes on a paved road to the hiking starting point → follow signs uphill → hike about 30 minutes on mossy bluestone steps to reach the mid-mountain grotto → after visiting, continue uphill about 10 minutes to reach the summit Kandeng Temple. . ► Tips: The whole route is easy and comfortable to walk, just watch out for slippery spots on rainy days. . 📙【About Kandeng Mountain Cliff Carvings】 Located at the border of Ya’an and Pujiang, this Tang Dynasty Buddhist cliff carving group was carved during the reign of Emperor Yizong of Tang (Xiantong era). It features rare sixteen Arhat statues and is currently open for free. Legend has it that during the Tang Dynasty, “Lu Gongshu” traveled here and saw a “holy lamp” appearing at night on the mountain, so he carved the Buddha statues and built the “Kandeng Platform,” giving the mountain its name. 🙃 In 2004, the Buddha head in niche No. 6 on Kandeng Mountain was almost stolen but was later recovered and restored. . 💡【Continue uphill to Kandeng Temple】 It’s probably the loneliest temple I’ve ever seen, very small and quiet, with only one abbot and a few dogs. It’s very peaceful, and sometimes you can drink tea, have vegetarian meals, or stay overnight by chance. I was lucky to meet the abbot, who was very warm and offered me homemade tea. We talked for a long time. I learned that the temple’s incense offerings are not prosperous; the abbot is self-sufficient and has lived here alone for five years. When asked if he feels lonely, he replied that nothing is more fulfilling and free than here. . ⁉️【Notes】 1. Kandeng Mountain is quite hidden, self-driving is more convenient, and solo female travelers are advised to find a companion. 2. The mountain path is made of bluestone steps; it’s recommended to wear non-slip outdoor shoes and descend before dark. 3. There are no shops at the summit or along the way, so bring your own water and food. 4. Visiting Kandeng Mountain + Kandeng Temple can be planned for half a day, and another half day for visiting Feixiange Pavilion (see previous guide). . .

Chengdu darlings, today I absolutely have to share an amazing hotel with you – The Temple House! Just around the corner from the bustling Taikoo Li, you'll find a tranquil oasis. The gray-tiled roofs and walls evoke the charm of a traditional Sichuan courtyard, and pushing open the copper door reveals a minimalist aesthetic. Sunlight streams in from the high-ceilinged atrium, filtering through the wooden latticework to create dappled patterns of light and shadow. A subtle fragrance permeates the air, as if capturing the laid-back charm of Chengdu itself. 💫 🛋️The rooms are also fascinating. The rattan furniture exudes the authentic feel of old Chengdu, gentle and down-to-earth. Floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the alleyways, brimming with local life! Take a bath, wrap yourself in a bathrobe, grab a local beer from the mini-bar, and watch the leisurely stroll by the window – it truly feels like stealing a moment of peace from a busy life, incredibly therapeutic! 🍽️The food is absolutely fantastic! You can have breakfast at Tivano – here's a little secret, you won't want to leave! Next time you're in Chengdu and looking for a place to relax, I highly recommend The Temple House! By the way, do you know of any other hidden gems near Taikoo Li? Share them with us!

From a high altitude overlooking the Chengdu Plain, you can see a mountain range about 60 kilometers southwest of Chengdu, running in a southwest direction. This is Changqiu Mountain, stretching over a hundred kilometers and gradually rising to connect with the Daxiang Ridge of the Min Mountains. On clear days, the Changqiu ridge offers a clear view of the King of Shu Mountains—the main peak of Gongga at 7,509 meters above sea level—and several satellite peaks over 6,000 meters. Because it is very close to downtown Chengdu, Changqiu Mountain is also one of the most cost-effective spots to view Gongga. (Sunlit Gongga Golden Mountain, see photo 18) At the foot of Changqiu Mountain flows the Pujiang River, named after the abundant cattail reeds (used for mat grass) along its banks. Pujiang County was originally part of the Shu Kingdom. After Qin conquered Shu, it belonged to Linqiong County. In the first year of Emperor Gong of Western Wei (554 AD), Guangding County was established under Puyuan Commandery, marking the beginning of Pujiang County. In the first year of Ren Shou in the Sui Dynasty (601 AD), to avoid the taboo of Crown Prince Yang Guang’s name, Guangding was renamed Pujiang. During the Tang Dynasty, it belonged to Qiongzhou, and it remained so in the Song Dynasty. Pujiang was an important node in the Tea Horse Road trade, and the tea-producing Pujiang River Valley became a key passage on this ancient route. Therefore, Changqiu Mountain is densely dotted with stone grotto statues, including nationally protected sites such as Feixiange, Longtuowan, and Anziyan cliff carvings, as well as many provincial, municipal, and county-level protected cultural relics. On this Saturday, we visited six sites, many of which are exquisite, and I share them with you. Photos 1/2: Bo’er Cave, deep within the citrus groves stands a pair of Guanyin statues, elegant and upright. According to records, there was an inscription on the lower right of the niche reading: “Recorded on the 21st day of the 2nd month in the Xiantong era,” but on-site it is almost untraceable. Photos 3/4: Baiyan Temple, adjacent to the provincially protected Hesha Temple, features a mid-to-late Tang style and is divided into two areas. The most impressive is a solitary large rock in the orange grove with carvings on all four sides. Though damaged, many details remain. Photos 5/6/7/8: Guanzimen, a well-preserved niche with a Tang Dynasty depiction of the Contemplation of Infinite Life Sutra, rich in intricate and wonderful details. Photos 9/10: Jigongshu Mountain Buddha Sons, two niches. I feel one is from the early Tang and the other from the Sui Dynasty (with the famous inscription “Year 14 of Daye,” as if hearing Yang Guang’s lament). Photos 11/12/13: Jigongshu Mountain (Loumisi) statues, featuring many themes including a Bodhi auspicious image niche, implements, and flying apsaras—very splendid! This was our third visit. Photos 14/15: Shima River, Tang Dynasty. Unfortunately, modern repainting has altered the original. Interestingly, there is an inscription stating “Two more statues made and offered by Da Wei’s Thirteenth Lady Ping’an,” which has sparked debate. Some scholars believe this indicates the niche is from Western Wei, but I think stylistically it should be Tang. Let’s leave it at that. Photos 16/17: Fo’er Rock, now part of Danleng County. Inside the niche, you can see painted lotus leaves, lotus flowers, and water ripples in bright colors, quite remarkable. It is unknown if these are original Tang Dynasty colors. This grotto visit began at sunrise and ended under the moonlight, leaving us satisfied and fulfilled.

This time, staying at Yunding Yisu in Pujiang was truly like a secluded paradise nestled in the mountains🏡 Yunding Yisu 🌿 An artistic space hidden in greenery This guesthouse is located on the top of a mountain in Pujiang, just over an hour’s drive from Chengdu. It feels super magical after the rain, with misty mountain views in the distance and clearly layered terraced fields up close. Every snapshot looks like a postcard! What surprised me most was the building itself—it blends the modern feel of a Western villa with the rustic charm of Western Sichuan residences. The entire wall of floor-to-ceiling windows frames the forest scenery like a moving painting🖼️ 🛏️ Sleep surrounded by art • The room design is minimalist, with wooden stairs and round pendant lights that are very stylish • Panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows + large balcony, so you can watch the sunrise and sea of clouds right from the bed • All facilities are smart; the bathtub faces the mountain view, so you can count stars while soaking✨ • The family room even has a slide! Kids won’t want to leave (adults can sneak a play too🤫) 📸 Photo tips 1️⃣ Infinity pool: Transparent glass railing with rolling green mountains in the background; bright-colored swimsuits stand out more 2️⃣ Spiral staircase: Shoot from above looking down, the wooden steps combined with geometric shadows are stunning 3️⃣ Terrace hanging chair: Best to shoot at dusk, with pink sunset clouds behind for a dreamy effect 4️⃣ Artistic walls: Each floor is different; taking a photo of your back in front of abstract paintings creates a great atmosphere 🎯 Nearby activities • 15-minute walk to Chaoyang Lake, where you can cycle around the lake (guesthouse provides free bikes) • 20-minute drive to Shixiang Lake Scenic Area, with a beautiful lily sea in September-October • There’s a secret hiking trail behind the guesthouse where you can find rare mushrooms after rain! 🍽️ Foodie tips • Breakfast is a nine-grid Sichuan-style morning meal; highly recommend their cured meat fried rice • Dinner requires advance booking; the mountain spring fish hotpot is a specialty (remember to choose mild spicy) • Within 5 minutes by car, there are farmhouses serving authentic firewood chicken and bamboo tube rice 💡 Practical info • Family-friendly: Has a children’s playground, picture book corner, and provides baby cribs • Pet-friendly: Pets allowed with prior notice (cleaning fee applies) • Seasonal tips: Best time to stay is April-May (tea picking season) and September-October (cool season) • Price reference: 800+ RMB per night on weekdays, prices rise on weekends but include afternoon tea

In Mingyue Village, there is a farmhouse surrounded by bamboo groves, and as soon as you step in, you are greeted by a sea of green. The sunroom isn’t very big, but the space is sufficient. The room displays different kinds of books and tie-dyed clothing. Moreover, here, you can see different shades of blue— light blue, deep blue, azure—each shade of blue leads to a different room. As a traditional folk handicraft, "tie-dye" is definitely worth spending an entire afternoon deeply experiencing. The Yuanyuan Sunroom uses plant-based tie-dye, which just by hearing about it makes you feel it’s something very healthy. Today, my bestie and I tie-dyed silk scarves and canvas bags. After deciding on the items we wanted to make, a teacher guided us with explanations and instructions. Sure enough, when you’re immersed in the experience, there’s no time to take photos. But the laughter and joy beside the dye vats will be remembered by time as this very moment. While waiting for the results, sitting on stone benches, we couldn’t help but marvel at how the harmony between humans and nature is far grander than we imagined. 🍽️ Shop name: Yuanyuan Sunroom 🏠 Accommodation: Huayue Homestay 🚄 Transportation: Take the high-speed train to Pujiang Station, then a taxi to reach the destination.

In Chengdu, where can you go for a spontaneous two-day, one-night trip? Just this week, I took my parents to personally experience staying at a five-star luxury tent hotel near Chengdu. Far from the hustle and bustle, you can relax and unwind while picking super fresh and sweet Ehime oranges right next to the campsite. Highly recommended! Overall, this two-day, one-night itinerary is perfect for couples as well as for bringing parents or kids. It’s only about an hour and a half drive from Chengdu, very convenient. On the way, you can see dense patches of citrus fruits everywhere. Ehime oranges are currently in season, while papaya mandarins aren’t ready yet. Just seeing so many fruits flashing by is very soothing! I suggest leaving in the morning because the campsite is near the famous Xilai Ancient Town. You can first take your family or friends to stroll around the town, which isn’t overly commercialized and offers a great experience. After exploring, have a meal in the town, then leisurely drive to the campsite to check in! The campsite is very large and clearly also hosts weddings, birthdays, and team-building events. When checking into the tent hotel, the group leader communicates important details with us in advance, providing very thoughtful service. The quality of the tent hotel is also very high, evident from the interior and soft furnishings. It’s great for photos too. It was my parents’ first time staying in a tent, and they were clearly very satisfied. I casually took some photos of my dad and mom and got compliments, which means we made the right choice! I especially love the view from the terrace. I heard that on sunny days, watching the sunset there is very beautiful! I personally tested the lounge chairs on the terrace—they are very relaxing. Lying there with eyes closed, listening to music or watching a show, no work KPIs, no disturbances or chaos—one word: bliss! The afternoon tea is also very seasonal with tea brewed around a fire pit, and there are plenty of grilled snacks. The group leader even prepared some oranges for our room. At this time of year, roasting oranges is also delicious! Speaking of oranges🍊, I have to mention that on the second day, they arranged a parent-child Ehime orange picking activity for us! Seeing the hills covered with Ehime oranges, my parents excitedly rushed into the orchard, clipping fresh, large oranges✂️✂️✂️ into the fruit basket. Snacking on one while picking was sweet and juicy—much better than those sold from frozen warehouses on the street. Friends who like this, just go for it on the weekend! There’s also an exciting New Year’s Eve event on December 31 worth checking out! Xilai Campsite

Changqiu Mountain Forest Park, which is still under construction, is suitable for light hiking and mountain climbing ⛰️. You can easily go up and down the mountain in three hours. Today is a weekday, and the weather is gloomy and cold. There were only a few scattered people on the mountain boardwalk. Both sides of the road were full of "papa gan" (a type of tangerine) hanging on the branches, but it's not yet the ripening season. The most pleasant surprise was encountering a small temple called Loumi Temple. A sign at the temple gate said vegetarian meals were available at noon. It happened to be lunchtime at 12 o'clock. Upon arrival, I met three lay Buddhists guarding the temple and 6 tourists preparing to eat. After adding two pairs of chopsticks, I finished half a bowl of cold dishes and two bowls of rice. I learned that this temple was actually built to protect the cliff carvings dating back to the Sui Dynasty. The buildings were constructed by a 90-year-old grandmother who currently resides there. The benevolent elderly lady looks exceptionally healthy. The several observation decks at the top of the mountain are very photogenic, mainly because of the unbeatable views. If you encounter a clear day with high visibility, you can gaze at the snow-capped mountains 🏔️, so I'll leave a reason to come back. If you're just hiking, navigate to Changqiu New Village. Parking is free in the community of the Party-Masses Service Center. Turn left out of the community onto the road, and in about ten minutes there will be a signpost. Just follow the stone boardwalk all the way up. The first scenic spot is the Paper Airplane Observation Deck, and in about ten minutes further up, you'll reach Loumi Temple. Then, in another half an hour, you can reach the mountaintop.
