Longmen Mountain is a famous tourist destination in Sichuan, China, located very close to Chengdu. This guide introduces the drifting experience in Longmen Mountain. Personal criteria for a fun drifting experience: The water should have both rapid and calm sections! It should be thrilling yet relaxing, and most importantly, there should be spots to stop for water fights, playing in the water, and taking photos! Advantages: 1. The water flow is well-balanced, with thrilling sections and calm areas, providing an excellent experience! 2. The water quality is quite good, with a clear blue-green color. 3. Safety personnel are stationed at every river section throughout the journey, ensuring the number of drifting boats is controlled to avoid collisions. 4. The environment is fantastic! There are both artificial and natural river sections, offering stunning scenery. One section even has a waterfall where you can take photos and play in the water—super enjoyable! 5. The facilities are great! Changing rooms, bathrooms, and other amenities are all new. 6. Shuttle buses depart frequently, ensuring quick transportation. Disadvantages: 1. The water is quite cold! Since it’s a natural stream with a high water flow, the excellent water quality naturally comes with lower temperatures. It’s recommended to visit on a sunny day! Tips to avoid crowds: We departed from Chengdu at 9:00 AM on a Saturday, arrived at 12:00 PM, and started drifting around 1:00 PM. The entire experience was smooth without any queues or waiting. We finished drifting around 3:00 PM. (So, it’s recommended to start early!)

Venture into a Real-Life Fairytale at Mianzhu Taiping Reservoir! Folks, I can't believe some of you haven't heard of Mianzhu's Taiping Reservoir! It's a hidden gem for a day trip around Chengdu. The blue-green lake is surrounded by forests, making you feel like you've stepped into Jiuzhaigou in an instant, and the best part is, it's free! I'm sharing my travel experience and guide with you all. 🚗 Transportation I drove from Chengdu, which took about 1.5 hours. The road conditions are generally good, but there are some sharp turns and narrow roads near the reservoir, so be sure to slow down and drive carefully. 🅿 Parking - The parking lot at the main entrance costs CNY 10 per car, which is convenient and has relatively ample parking spaces. - There are free parking spaces below the reservoir stairs, but there are only 5–6 spots, first come, first served. If you're traveling on a weekend or holiday, it's recommended to leave early to snag a free spot. 🌳 Core Experience 1. Lakeside Hike: A loop around the lake takes about 50 minutes, and the slope is very gentle, making it easy for seniors and children alike. The scenery along the way is simply stunning. The blue-green lake is like a giant gem, surrounded by lush forests. You can also discover many surprises along the way, such as picking wild mushrooms (but don't eat them, just take pictures), and encountering a small waterfall, which is super photogenic! 2. Camping and Playing in the Water: There are many flat areas by the lake, perfect for setting up a canopy or tent for camping. However, there is no dedicated campsite here, so you need to bring all your own equipment. The water play area is downstream from the small waterfall, where the water flow is relatively gentle, making it ideal for wading and playing. Remember to wear non-slip shoes to avoid slipping and injury. In addition, open flames are prohibited here, so please be aware and take all your trash with you to protect the environment and keep the scenery beautiful. 3. Fishing: If you like fishing, don't miss out. You can fish here for free. Common fish include crucian carp and carp. According to local villagers, the fish here are not very big, but it's perfect for recreational fishing and enjoying the fun of fishing. 📌 Useful Tips 1. Best Season: June–October is the best time to visit Taiping Reservoir. In summer, you can come here to escape the heat and play in the water. In autumn, the surrounding leaves gradually change color, creating a colorful and unique landscape. 2. Facilities and Supplies: Villagers sell water and snacks at the entrance, but the variety is limited, so it's recommended to bring your own food and snacks to make the most of your visit. 3. Nearby Attractions: - New Year Picture Village: You can experience traditional New Year picture culture, admire exquisite New Year picture works, and even experience New Year picture making yourself, which is very interesting. - Rose Valley: In the rose blooming season, the mountains are covered with roses, and the fragrance of flowers is overflowing, making it super beautiful for taking pictures. 4. Nearby Route Combinations: - Easy Version (1-Day Trip): Taiping Reservoir + Golden Qingping Scenic Area (Fairytale Town), about 30 minutes' drive between the two places. Visit Taiping Reservoir in the morning and stroll around the Fairytale Town in the afternoon to experience a different atmosphere. - In-Depth Version (2-Day Trip): On the first day, go to Taiping Reservoir and enjoy the beauty of nature. On the second day, go to the Hanwang Earthquake Site to learn about that heavy history, and then go to Lutang Hot Spring to soak in a hot spring (especially recommended in autumn and winter) to relax and end your perfect trip. 📸 Photography Tips 1.

🍃Hangzhou Jiuxi Shibajian丨The Wizard of Oz in Ink Jiangnan 📍Route Rampage Record At 7 o'clock in the morning, I rushed into the misty trees of Jiuxi, and the morning mist flowed through the fir forest like ink. Following the bamboo basket of the tea-picking grandmother, we walked along the cobblestone trail along 18 clear streams. The sound of the water gurgled as we journeyed through the "most beautiful place in the mountains" described by Su Shi. I highly recommend the "Longjing Village - Jiuxi Yanshu" reverse route. You can avoid the crowds and occasionally encounter tea farmers frying green tea. The air is filled with the aroma of Longjing beans!

The mottled light and shadow on the stone road make you feel like traveling back to the Southern Song Dynasty. 💡Tips Wear river trekking shoes! In June, the stone steps will be over the ankles during the flood season. When buying tea in Longjing Village, look for the "Lion" brand. The Mingqian tea of ​​200 yuan/liang can be bargained down to 180 yuan. Stay overnight at the "Shanshe" B&B in Manjuelong.
