👣👣 Depart from Xi'an, this is truly a fairyland on earth! Who says Wanglang is not beautiful in winter? I really regret not discovering this treasure earlier... Day 1 Xi'an ➡️ Jiangyou, take a high-speed train, depart at 9:48 and arrive in Jiangyou at around 12:30. After leaving the station, you will start the self-driving trip. It is very convenient to pick up a car at the high-speed railway station. Once everything is done, you can enjoy the local delicacies. Jiangyou Fatty Intestines, no recommendation, I really can't enjoy the fatty intestines. Jiangyou ➡️ Tibetan Baxijia Ancient Village (less than three hours' drive), you will pass a redwood road just after departure, with a surprise! Pass by Tianmu Lake (you can see the lake and snow-capped mountains) 🏨: Stay in Baxijia Ancient Village, there are few restaurants in the village, so you can choose to book a hotel with meals. There will also be a bonfire at night, and the atmosphere will be up. Day 2 Ancient Village ➡️ Wanglang Scenic Area, 15 minutes' drive, because you need to return on the same day, so enter the park at 8:40. It is recommended that you enter the park early. The reflection of Gan Haizi Snow Mountain is the best in the morning. The whole scenic area takes about 4-5 hours (depending on the person) ~ There are two routes in the scenic area: 1️⃣ Plank Road: The reflection of Gan Haizi is taken here 2️⃣ Hiking forest route: After returning to the starting point from Gan Haizi, go up and you can enjoy the feeling of crossing the forest. It is good to take photos along the way. After taking beautiful photos, return to Jiangyou, and take the high-speed train back to Xi'an at 6:30...

Exploring the "Palace in the Mountains": A Ming Dynasty Gem Hidden in Mianyang, Sichuan Across the vast land of China, countless historical relics are scattered like stars, each bearing the unique memories of its time. Today, let's journey together to Bao'en Temple, located within the city of Pingwu County, Mianyang City, Sichuan Province, and unveil the mystery of this "Palace in the Mountains," exploring its legendary story spanning over 560 years. The geographical location of Bao'en Temple is quite legendary. It nestles against a backdrop of rolling mountains, as if gently embraced by nature, while the rushing Fujiang River flows before it, its waters ceaselessly narrating tales of time. Starting from the bustling urban area of Chengdu, a 305-kilometer journey is required to reach this ancient architectural complex hidden amidst the mountains and rivers. This journey feels like a preview of a trip through time, filling one with anticipation for the Bao'en Temple that awaits. When you finally stand before Bao'en Temple, the first thing that catches your eye is its unique west-facing orientation. It covers an area of 27,000 square meters, with a building area of 3,500 square meters. Such a massive scale is particularly striking amidst the deep mountains. The temple's construction began in the fifth year of the Zhengtong reign of the Ming Dynasty (1440 AD) and took 20 years to complete, finally finished in the fourth year of the Tianshun reign of Emperor Yingzong (1460 AD). In that era without modern construction tools, the craftsmen, relying on their hands and wisdom, built this magnificent structure brick by brick, tile by tile. Their hardship and dedication are truly moving. All the buildings of Bao'en Temple adhere to the principle of bilateral symmetry, with a rigorous and orderly layout, as if meticulously planned by an invisible hand. Stepping inside, you'll feel as if you've been transported to the Forbidden City in Beijing. With its flying eaves, intricate brackets, carved beams, and painted rafters, every detail reveals the majesty and solemnity of imperial architecture. It is precisely for this reason that it has earned the reputation of being a "Palace in the Mountains." Here, you can admire exquisite wood carvings, stone carvings, and murals, each a remarkable representative of Ming Dynasty art. The wood carvings are lifelike, with figures and animals seemingly imbued with life; the stone carvings feature flowing lines, showcasing the craftsmen's superb skills; and the murals, despite centuries of weathering, remain vibrant, narrating ancient myths, legends, and historical stories. Bao'en Temple is more than just a building; it's a living history book. It has witnessed the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty and carries the beliefs and wisdom of the ancients. Over these 560 years, it has endured countless storms yet remains standing tall, a miracle in itself. Today, as one of the most completely preserved Ming Dynasty ancient architectural complexes in China, it was listed in the fourth batch of National Key Cultural Relics Protection Units in 1996, becoming a shared cultural heritage for all mankind. For those of us living in modern society, Bao'en Temple is like a window through time. Here, we can momentarily escape the hustle and bustle of life and experience the pace of life of the ancients, appreciating the charm of traditional culture. It reminds us that no matter how times change, these precious cultural heritages are forever the roots of our nation, deserving of our cherishing and inheritance. If you are a traveler who loves history and culture and enjoys exploring the unknown, Bao'en Temple is definitely worth a visit. Believe me, the moment you step into this "Palace in the Mountains," you will be captivated, as if transported back to the distant Ming Dynasty.

During the Spring Festival, I visited temples with my friends. I didn’t expect to be deeply shocked by the ingenious craftsmanship of the ancients. If nothing unexpected happens, this will be the most shocking ancient building in Sichuan this year! The chakravartin is exquisite and beautiful, and the dragon carvings on the pillars next to it are lifelike. The Thousand-armed Guanyin made of golden nanmu is also superb. The layout of the building is known as the "Forbidden City in the Deep Mountains". We have to admire the skills and aesthetics of our ancestors. 📍Mianyang Pingwu Baoen Temple (ticket price 40r/person) ▪️History: Baoen Temple was built from the fifth to the eleventh year of the Zhengtong Period of the Ming Dynasty (1440-1446), and has a history of more than 500 years. Because it is located in the mountainous area, not only has the wooden structure preserved its original Ming Dynasty appearance relatively intact, but the colored paintings, the chakravartin, the nanmu Thousand-Armed Guanyin, the wall sculptures in the main hall, and the murals in the Ten Thousand Buddha Pavilion are all exquisite works of art from the Ming Dynasty. ▪️Main highlights: ① The Sutra Relic of the Wheel of Revelation in the center of the Huayan Collection is a pagoda-shaped vessel made of golden nanmu wood. It symbolizes the cause and effect cycle of Buddhism. The upper end is inserted into the hall beam, and the lower end stands on a cast iron anvil in the center of the circular pit. It can still rotate smoothly. Because it is made of nanmu wood, it is anti-corrosive and anti-termite. It is the best preserved and most exquisitely crafted of the few revolving sutras in China. The dragons carved on the pillars on both sides are coiled around the pillars, which is quite shocking. ②The Thousand-Armed Guanyin carved entirely from golden nanmu wood in the Great Compassion Pavilion is about 9 meters high, with a vivid image and is extremely rare. The main body is carved from a huge piece of nanmu wood, and behind it are 1004 hands in a fan shape, with an eye on each hand. It is also called "Thousand-Armed and Thousand-Eyed Guanyin."

In Pingwu County, Mianyang, Sichuan, there is an ancient temple with hundreds of years of history and culture - Bao'en Temple. This temple is not only famous for its exquisite Ming Dynasty architectural style, but also carries touching stories of gratitude. Bao'en Temple was built in the fifth year of the Ming Dynasty (1440) and completed in the fourth year of the Tianshun period (1460). It is one of the most well-preserved Ming Dynasty ancient buildings in China. The temple is located in a feng shui treasure land, with two mountain ranges winding like giant dragons, and the Wuliang Mountain in the middle is inlaid like a pearl, forming a wonderful picture of "two dragons playing with pearls". Walking into Bao'en Temple is like stepping into the Forbidden City in the deep mountains. Its layout structure is similar to the Forbidden City in Beijing, with a length of 278 meters from east to west, a width of 100 meters from north to south, and an area of more than 27,800 square meters. The main buildings are arranged on a central axis, and the auxiliary buildings are symmetrical on the left and right, showing the grandeur and solemnity of ancient architecture. There are multiple versions of the origin of Bao'en Temple. One version is that a defeated general surnamed Yi escaped disaster with the help of an old woman surnamed Zhang. Later, he made great achievements and was promoted by the Ming emperor and given the surname Wang. To repay the old woman's life-saving grace, he donated silver to build this temple after her death. Another version is that after the Ming Dynasty rebel army captured Lanzhou, some members of the Suwang family were spared because they were hidden in the home of an old woman surnamed Zhang. To repay the favor, they changed their surname to Zhang, became monks, and built this Bao'en Temple in the Wuliang Mountain area of Shiqing Cave. No matter which version, it reflects the traditional Chinese virtue of gratitude. The murals, carvings, and other artistic treasures in Bao'en Temple make people feel the exquisite craftsmanship of ancient craftsmen. Every brick, tile, beam, and column in the temple seems to tell stories of the past and carry the weight of history. Strolling in Bao'en Temple, with ancient trees towering and dense shade covering the sun, the environment is primitive and simple, full of wild interest. It is not only a pilgrimage site for Buddhist believers, but also a good place for tourists to appreciate ancient architectural art and historical culture. Pingwu Bao'en Temple, with its unique charm, attracts countless people to explore and feel the tranquility and solemnity that transcends time and space.

Following in the footsteps of Li Ziqi, I came to this mysterious, niche wonderland - the filming location of Li Ziqi's video - Baima Wanglang Nature Reserve. Western Sichuan is often crowded and congested 😣, until I came to Baima Wanglang - the scenery that came into view hit my heart. There is no congestion in Western Sichuan, but the scenery is not inferior to Western Sichuan, and it is so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off it 🥰. Here, you can take a leisurely hike, with a primeval forest covered with moss 🌲 under your feet, step by step, as if you are traveling through a tunnel of time, and the feeling is wonderful 😎. Then, after passing through a cedar forest 😍, a magnificent snow-capped mountain suddenly appears in front of you 🏔️, and the scene really hits your heart. The photos can't fully show the shocking visual enjoyment of seeing it with your own eyes 🤩. 🚉Transportation Guide: 🚗Transportation: Public transportation is not very convenient here, so it is recommended to drive 🚙, and you can easily find it by navigating to "Baima Wanglang" 🧭. 📝Tips: It is a nature reserve, not a regular scenic spot, and the supporting facilities are not very complete 😅, so it is best to prepare supplies in advance, such as water and food 🥪🥤. 🎈How to play: In the reserve, you can take a sightseeing bus to visit Gan Haizi and Baisha Valley, and enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way 🚌. However, if you want to have a better experience, it is highly recommended to take a car to Gan Haizi and then start hiking 🚶‍♂️, because you will be shuttling through the tall and mysterious primeval forest all the way, and the hiking experience is really great. It is as if you are one with nature 🌳, and you can feel the charm of nature with every step.

🔶Baima Wanglang Primitive Park is really worth a visit❗️ The primitive coniferous forest is more than 40 meters high, so majestic, so shocking, and so beautiful❗️ 🔶Baima Wanglang belongs to the primitive deep forest. The scenic spot is not heavily commercialized. It is suitable for friends who like nature to explore the beautiful scenery on foot💞 🔶But I sincerely recommend that if you go to Baima Wanglang for hiking, you must choose to walk the forest path... The specific location is to take a car to Yunshan Cafe first, and then there is a path behind the right side of the cafe. Enter from here. You can pick autumn leaves on the road, and you can also find many small mushrooms. There are many beautiful 📸 camera positions. There is no one, so I took a random photo❗️ 🎫The ticket is 108. This is not a scenic spot, but a nature reserve❗️ There are not many things to play in it, and the facilities are not perfect. It is recommended to bring your own food. 🚗Transportation Guide: From Chengdu, you can first take the high-speed rail or long-distance bus to Mianyang City, and then transfer to the long-distance bus to Pingwu County. After arriving in Pingwu County, you can rent a car or take local public transportation to Baima Wanglang. Due to the complicated road conditions, tourists are advised to understand the route in advance and reserve enough time. 💞 🏡Accommodation and catering🥙 There are many inns and farmhouses that provide food and accommodation around Baima Wanglang. The dishes served in these places are mostly based on local ingredients and have unique flavors. Tourists are recommended to try local wild mushrooms and various wild vegetables, which are delicious and nutritious. 💞 🚏Road conditions Wanglang is located in Baima Tibetan Township, Baima Town, Pingwu County. The road condition was good throughout the journey. The road became narrower after entering Baima Tibetan Township. There was a section of road under construction. It was a dirt road and a bit bumpy, but the rest was fine. 🔶Outdoor wear guide It is not very cold in northern Sichuan during the daytime. It is recommended that you wear three layers of clothing for hiking. The inner layer should be close-fitting and quick-drying, the middle layer should be warm fleece or down, and the outermost layer should be a windproof and waterproof jacket. Adjust the temperature in time during hiking.

Wanglang is a Baima Tibetan village located in Pingwu, Mianyang, Sichuan. Before the construction of Jiumian Expressway, it took more than 6 hours to get to Mianyang, and accommodation and food were not very convenient. This time, I came to Wanglang again when it had just reopened after being closed for three years and it was autumn when the colorful leaves were floating. Wanglang is just over 100 kilometers away from Jiuzhaigou and is an important part of the Giant Panda Park, with an altitude of about 3,100 meters. When you reach the bottom of Wanglang Valley, the reflection of the snow-capped mountains is set off by the lake, making it look graceful. The current ticket price is 108 yuan (including sightseeing bus). It should be particularly beautiful in spring when the alpine rhododendrons bloom. Pingwu is a small county town, and the bacon is particularly delicious. It is also a good idea to visit Baoen Temple.

For those who don't want to drive, you can choose a local tour group to save time and effort. - 🕰 Best viewing time The first ray of sunlight in the morning is a good time to photograph colorful forests and snow-capped mountains.

There are tables, chairs, and wooden walkways, which are good for checking in.👍 ✔️Travel preparation: 👚Dress suggestion: Outdoor, denim style, bright colors, and photos under the green shade and waterfall. 🌟The scenic area is not fully developed, with only dirt roads.

📍Wanglang is located in Baima Tibetan Township, Pingwu County, Mianyang City, about 60 km from Jiuzhaigou County. It is a national nature reserve and home to wild giant pandas. Many species of birds and carnivores (wolves 🐺 and snow leopards) have been found here. The reserve has been closed for more than three years and is now open again. The scenery in late October is very beautiful, with snow-capped mountains and red forests, crystal-clear rivers, and freely growing trees. Seeing pandas and other animals is a matter of luck. If you do see them, don't shout, or you'll scare them away. 🚗84 km from Pingwu County, 2-hour drive 🎫Ticket: CNY 108/person, including sightseeing bus ⚠️TIPS: 1⃣️Road conditions🛣 Wanglang is located in Baima Tibetan Township, Baima Town, Pingwu County. The road conditions are good. The road is narrow after entering Baima Tibetan Township. There is a section of road under construction, which is a dirt road and a bit bumpy, but the rest is fine. 2⃣️Ticket purchase🎫 Tickets can be purchased online or on-site. If you buy tickets on-site, go early. If you go late during the National Day holiday, you may not be able to buy tickets. 3⃣️Sightseeing bus🚌 It takes a long time to get from the entrance to the core area by sightseeing bus! It takes about 40 minutes. The road is full of big bends, so be careful to prevent motion sickness. 4⃣️Dress code👚 The highest point of the scenic area is more than 3,000 meters above sea level, and it is really cold inside. If you go at this time of year, you must wear a down jacket and dress warmly. 5⃣️Travel guide🏃‍♀️ There are three main attractions in Wanglang: Gan Haizi, Baisha Valley, and Zhugencha Valley. Gan Haizi is the most beautiful attraction. Gan Haizi is at the drop-off point of the sightseeing bus, in the middle of the scenic area, not at the highest point, so don't get it wrong. Baisha Valley and Zhugencha Valley are at the highest point. Baisha Valley is the site of the 1976 earthquake landslide. I didn't go to Zhugencha Valley because of time constraints. The distance from Gan Haizi to Baisha Valley is about 3 km, along a forest path in the primeval forest, which requires hiking. You can take a sightseeing bus on the way back. 6⃣️Accommodation🏠 Wanglang is not far from Pingwu, so you can make a round trip in one day if you leave early in the morning. It is recommended to stay in Pingwu County, where the conditions are better. 7⃣️Food😋 The commercial facilities in the scenic area are not mature. There are no restaurants, only small shops selling instant noodles, drinks, and snacks. So it is necessary to bring some food with you. 8⃣️Tianmu Lake and Baxijia Ancient Village are on the way to Wanglang, so you can visit them on the way.
