"Lazy" Travel in Sichuan | A Guide to "Chill Mode" Tourism~

Who says travel has to be hardcore? This lazy traveler unlocked "horizontal sightseeing" in Sichuan— Living by the motto: "If I can sit, I won't stand; if I can lie down, I won't sit." Step one to chilling? Handing over the itinerary to someone else. That's why I opted for a chartered car tour 😉 The driver-guide handled everything, tailoring the schedule to my preferences. Now THIS is true "chill mode" travel!!! Anti-routine itinerary 🛌 Day 1: Dashiban Village → Golden Scale Beach Drove to Dashiban Village in the afternoon—this orange Yi ethnic village is insanely photogenic! 🛕 Got complimented for having "Buddhist affinity" while praying at Lingying Temple (maybe my chill vibe looked pious?) After exploring, the driver took me to a hidden gem at Golden Scale Beach—fewer crowds, stunning views, basically had the whole beach to myself! Day 2: Fishing Platform - Moonlight Town - Jianchang Ancient City - Tang Garden While others woke early for sunrise, I slept in and fed seagulls at Fishing Platform 🕊️ Rented hanfu at Jianchang Ancient City—driver snapped perfect shots instantly 📸 (no makeup = no face = skipped editing! Haha) Evening brought us to a driver-recommended authentic firepot BBQ spot—absolutely divine~ No more agonizing over food choices—this lazy traveler is in love 🥰 Day 3: Xichang Lushan Slide → Happy Home Driver insisted we queue early for Lushan, even called to wake me (bless him) Thank goodness someone managed the schedule—I'd have slept through it all 🤣 The downhill slide was smoother than Dove chocolate—must-try experience! Post-trip thoughts: Handing off planning to others is BLISS— When I wanted naps, driver adjusted his driving for smoother rides. When I wanted photos, the car "coincidentally" parked at perfect angles—he even captured my best life shot. When I agonized over dinner, he took me to local-approved spots that blew my mind 🥰 Now I get it: While others compete in itinerary density, I compete in COMFORT!
