Every pursuit in this world has its comings, goings, and final chapters. Mountains and seas have their time of return, the wind rests at the peaks, ships dock at the shore, yet I am forever on the road. This is the gentlest truth of the journey, and the most graceful posture of life. Nature never forces its way; the wind travels a thousand miles, pausing at the peaks and resting at the ridges, neither clinging to distant horizons nor agonizing over the path ahead. Ships navigate the vast ocean, anchoring at the end of their voyage and docking at the shore, neither yearning for the expedition nor lingering over the scenery. The vast mountains and seas never rush their transitions; day and night rotate, spring and autumn cycle in turn. Every long trek eventually finds a destination, and every distant pursuit ultimately reaches a conclusion. We often find ourselves anxious in our haste and terrified of the unknown, obsessed with outcomes and troubled by our pace. Yet, we forget that life is inherently an endless journey—ebbing and flowing in its own time, with a promised return. Having weathered the wind and frost, and traversed the mountains and seas, we slowly learn there is no need to rush time or force perfection. Simply follow the rhythm of all things: accept the wind's rest, the ship's docking, and the natural order of the mountains and seas. Walk slowly at your own steady pace, settle your mind, and find peace in the passage of time during this long expedition. Wherever the heart feels at peace is home, and moving forward is the scenery itself.

Winter Trip to Yingshan | Strolling Through Snow-Covered Landscapes, Listening to Nature's Stories In winter, Yingshan's mountains, rivers, and villages, set against a backdrop of snow, unfold like a traditional Chinese ink painting. If you crave a trip that blends natural science, cultural charm, and the winter scenery of the countryside, this Yingshan route will not disappoint. Not only can you discover countless surprises in the "microscopic world" at the Insect Museum, but you can also visit snow-covered mountain villages and rustic towns, experiencing the unique atmosphere of Yingshan in winter. This time, I explored the secrets of insects, felt the miracles of nature, and witnessed firsthand the tranquil scenes of snow-covered trees and buildings reflecting the snow—every stop was full of surprises. Recommended Attractions 1. Yingshan County Olympic Sports Center Gymnasium Address: Yingshan Olympic Sports Center, Wenyun Road, Yingshan County, Nanchong City In addition to various sports facilities, the gymnasium often hosts insect and plant/animal specimen exhibitions on major science popularization days, making it a top choice for family science trips. The glass cases house various insect specimens; butterfly wings resemble exquisitely crafted works of art, and the skeletal structures of mantises and stick insects are remarkably clear under the lights. It's recommended to follow a professional guide to uncover the most details—to truly understand the hidden wisdom of nature within these tiny creatures. 2. Yingshan County Cultural Center Address: No. 38, Danan Street, Yingshan County, Nanchong City, Sichuan Province If you're interested in local culture, the cultural center is an excellent place to learn. It showcases local intangible cultural heritage, crafts, and offers opportunities to encounter local art events. In winter, the cultural center provides a welcome escape from the cold, allowing you to quietly appreciate the picturesque scene of traditional Chinese architecture against a snowy backdrop. 3. Yingshan County Tourist Distribution Center Address: Yingshan Olympic Sports Center, Furong Avenue, Yingshan County, Nanchong City It's recommended to check information here before your trip, arranging local minibuses or chartered vehicles. The staff are very helpful and can offer suggestions on transportation routes and nearby restaurants. 4. Fushou Mountain Villa Address: Near Provincial Highway 204 The villa is nestled in a snow-covered natural setting, perfect for a weekend getaway with friends or a family trip. Here, you can experience the winter snow of Yingshan, climb to high vantage points for panoramic views, breathe in the fresh mountain air, and discover the beautiful rural scenery embraced by the snow. Enjoy a warm pot of tea in the cold and savor the slow-paced tranquility. 5. Liziyuan, Chaqi Village, Wanglonghu Town, Yingshan County Address: Liziyuan, Chaqi Village, Yingshan County, Nanchong City, Sichuan Province Chaqi Village Liziyuan is one of the most idyllic places in Yingshan. In winter, the orchard is covered with a thin layer of snow, squirrels are busy among the trees, and the combination of old trees and snow creates a feeling of time standing still. It's perfect for taking nature photos or simply relaxing and unwinding in the snow. 6. Yingshan Mengbei Aquarium (It's recommended to visit this after the Cultural Center or Tourist Distribution Center.) On a snowy day, visit the aquarium to experience its tropical world. The contrast between the snow and colorful fish adds vibrant color to the winter landscape. Practical Tips & Winter Reminders 1. If it's snowing, wear comfortable, non-slip shoes to walk on narrow paths and prevent falls. 2. Bring a thermos and hand warmers, as Yingshan's altitude isn't high, but it's damp and cold, making it easy to catch a chill. 3. When taking photos of snowy scenery, the snow can be reflective; adjust the exposure of your phone/camera accordingly. 4. For insect exhibits, check activity times or book guided tours in advance for a more in-depth experience. 5. If you're visiting the plum orchard area near Chaqi Village, try some local snacks along the way, such as hot tofu pudding and guokui (a type of flatbread). Transportation Guide: Within Yingshan City, you can take taxis or ride-hailing services. The main attractions are not far apart. You can also choose short-distance minibuses departing from the local tourist distribution center. Driving in winter offers relatively stable road conditions, but be careful with your speed on some rural roads if there is snowfall. Finally, this Yingshan winter science education and nature sightseeing route is perfect for those with a slight curiosity about nature who love a leisurely stroll amidst snowy scenery. Why not do what I did and treat every stop as an experiment in getting closer to nature? #YingshanTravel #ScienceTrip #NatureObservation #SnowScenery #FamilyTrip

Cons: The air conditioning is a bit noisy, and the hot water flow is sometimes inconsistent. Those who mind these things should prepare warm clothing in advance. 🍜 Practical Food Tips: For local snacks in Yingshan, try preserved meat, cold noodles, blackfish soup, shumai, and crispy pork. There are many well-established restaurants in the nearby city. Since there will be a lot of walking and outdoor activities, bring some hot tea or hand warmers. Be careful of slippery surfaces in snowy weather. 🚌 Transportation Guide: Driving is more flexible, as the main attractions are not far from the city center. If you don't have a car, you can call a taxi or use local taxis. Ying Shang Hotel has a good location, making it convenient to call taxis and take public transportation. 🧊 Photo Scene Tips: In winter, when it snows, it's easy to see clouds and reflections near rivers, lakes, or snow-capped mountains, especially along the riverbanks and under trees. For more atmospheric photos, it's recommended to wait until after 10 am for better lighting. When birds are seen, wait quietly; you might be surprised by the scenery. In snowy weather, Yingshan offers an ideal experience for those who appreciate a slow-paced lifestyle, whether it's boating and listening to the oars, strolling through the countryside, or exploring indoor exhibition halls. Come to Yingshan, calm your mind, and step into a real-life dreamlike old painting! #YingshanTravel #SnowyScenery #NorthernSichuanWaterTown #SlowTravelRecommendation #HiddenGems

Lives up to its reputation as Nanchong's most premium hotel|||When friends visited me in Nanchong last weekend, I arranged the highest standard accommodation: Nanchong Hyatt Place. I was also very curious about how a hotel located in Nanchong's tallest building would be. Hotel Lobby: Two-story high ceiling, crystal chandelier installation, lobby lounge (high-altitude afternoon tea). The lobby is very grand. The Hyatt Place Restaurant is opposite the lobby. We tried the seafood buffet, which was surprisingly crowded with a wide variety: hot pot, desserts, seafood, Chinese cuisine... Breakfast includes Nanchong rice noodles, and overall, it's abundant and delicious. The window-side night view around 7 PM at the Hyatt Place Restaurant is absolutely stunning—don’t forget to enjoy it. The mattress is incredibly comfortable—soft yet supportive—ensuring a great night's sleep. The room has an air purifier, and most importantly, the soundproofing is excellent. I’m very sensitive to noise when sleeping, but I didn’t hear any disturbances. The hotel's public facilities and room decor details are well-executed, with a grand yet minimalist style. The river-view rooms offer a panoramic view of the Jialing River. There are four elevators, and the guest rooms are on the 11th floor. The efficiency is decent, with minimal waiting time. Amenities include a swimming pool (on the first floor), a mahjong room, Yipintang Chinese Restaurant, Hyatt Place Western Restaurant, conference halls, and a lounge. Nearby attractions include Wanda Plaza, Wetland Park, White Pagoda Park, 1227 Shopping District, and Wangfujing (all within 3 km). The location is excellent, with a prime riverside view and open vistas. Nanchong Airport and the train station are both within 20 minutes, making it a golden location. Whether for business receptions, tourism, or visiting friends, staying here won’t disappoint. Overall, it’s the highest standard in the city.

Back in my hometown county, I saw a street hotpot stall that was packed with business and had a very urban style. This was because labor and rent were cheap in the county, and even some local ingredients were cheap, so the prices were very competitive. Normally, the average price per person for hotpot nearby is about 100 yuan, but for hotpot at this street stall, it’s 50 yuan per person. The soup base is 16 yuan, rice noodles and vermicelli are 3 yuan, vegetarian dishes are 6 yuan, and meat dishes are 9 yuan. The portions are definitely not large. I am still a little skeptical whether the 30-centimeter-diameter soup base of the gas stove can break even. It is definitely possible to make a profit from the dishes and drinks. Even if a small place sells 6,000 yuan a day, there will be a small profit of tens of thousands a month. It all depends on diligence. Yingshan Station
