It is very primitive here, you can see the magical Buddha light and the sunrise of the rosy clouds. You can feel the illusory Penglai fairy scenery, clear evening moon, bright moon in the sky, and bright stars can be picked. When the lights of thousands of families are on, the sky and the earth are connected, just like the world. It is said that the "Buddha Light" of Riyueping is not something ordinary people can see. Those who see it must have good luck and wealth in their lives!

He has collected apparently over 8 million artifacts which are some of them are what we see in this museum. I highly recommend it!

Relaxing escapade outside Chengdu 🇨🇳
Very aesthetic hotel outside of Chengdu. This hotel is located just an hour away from Chengdu . It is called Hiti Alruo Resort in Dayi and it is near Ancient Anren Town.
I highly recommend a weekend trip just to breathe and relax, this place is fancy and you can book a room with a soaking tub.The facilities are top class, everything is just oitstanding in my opinion. Our friends just treated me and my husband for a weekend getaway and we were surprised how beautiful the surrounding area is.
The hotel offers a free flow beer from 16:00-17:00 so we had a good late afternoon drinks just right before dinner. We opted to go eat out for dinner as we wanted to try the local food. The breakfast is also good.
You can easily book this hotel here on trip.com.. It isn't cheap though but if you really wanna treat yourself for a good and relaxing place to stay in while in Dayi then this hotel is the best one for you..
We really enjoyed our stay here.
Enjoy your Dayi trip.

Under their guidance, I quickly learned the basic skiing moves, and the feeling of speeding down from the top of the mountain was simply exhilarating! 🏂

《Ss.u Hotel: Four Points by Sheraton Chengdu, Anren Experience》
1. Check-in
Check-in was a little slow, and it was a little uncomfortable to have to stand in line in the heat. Fortunately, the front desk staff were very nice, which made up for it. It was a little disappointing to be told that the Four Points craft beer was not available. The hotel lobby has a place to buy Anren snacks, a dessert station, a place to buy Anren specialties, and a 24-hour self-service coffee machine, which is quite nice.
2. Room
I only took a picture of the balcony. We booked a round view room, and the view was really nice in the sunlight. The fence we requested in advance was installed. The room was average, but there were no drinks in the minibar. The bed was too soft, and we were not used to it at first, but we got used to it later.
3. Hotel Activities
The hotel has a variety of activities. There is a pool for swimming, a gym, indoor and outdoor kids' playgrounds, a pet park (although it is a little small), and a summer kids' bubble pool. In the evening, there is an outdoor barbecue bar at the hotel entrance, where you can have a drink, eat some snacks, and listen to music. It is very relaxing.
4. Hotel Environment
When the weather is cool, it is nice to take a walk in the hotel garden. The hotel is next to the scenic area, so it is convenient to visit Anren Ancient Town.
5. Hotel Breakfast
I have to talk about the hotel breakfast. I saw online that someone mentioned the roujiamo here, but when I went there, it was gone, and it was not replenished. Many dishes were gone quickly, and no one replenished them when I asked. It was only 9 am. We needed a high chair, and it took a long time to get one, but it was dirty. I asked the waiter (an intern) to wipe it with a wet wipe, and he brought a dirty rag. I told him it was for a child, and he was impatient. As a family-friendly hotel, there was no children's tableware. When I was getting noodles, I could not understand what the lady was saying, and she was not very friendly. Overall, breakfast had some issues, but it was a special experience.
6. Summary
Overall, the breakfast needs improvement (I hope the hotel will improve it), but everything else was nice. It is worth recommending for a weekend vacation with kids.
A peaceful life in the mountains.
In the mountains of Chongzhou, I stayed in a quiet courtyard isolated from the world, where I could experience a short-lived life in the mountains of Taoyuan.
