✅Travel route:
DAY1: Depart from Chengdu - Gaomiao Ancient Town - Yanu Lake - live in Fuxing Village
DAY2: Hiking on Tea Mountain in Fuxing Village-Yanyuan Village Waterfall-Guangming Temple-Return
If you have enough time, you can also visit Wawu Mountain
⭐️Yanyuan Village Waterfall (P2-P3)
There is a feeling of flying down three thousand feet. There are observation decks and plank roads. You can also take pictures on the rocks on the river beach for great photos.
⭐️Fuxing Village Tea Mountain (P4-P7)
Fuxing Village is my favorite place. It is best to go in the morning. If you are lucky, there will be morning fog. The hiking is not very strenuous and takes about 2 hours round trip. There is an observation deck at the top where you can see the beautiful Yanu Lake and overlook Mount Wawu in the distance.

⭐️Yanyuan Village River Beach Stone Bridge (P1)
The scenery here is like Kanas in Xinjiang. The photo was taken at a bend about 200 meters away from the bridge with a telephoto lens. The location of this bridge is near Zhongshanping shown on the map, next to Yanyuan Village.
⭐️Gaomiao Ancient Town (P12-14)
Gaomiao Ancient Town is a stop on the way from Chengdu and is worth a visit. It has a history of thousands of years. What I like most is the rope bridge and the red ancient building next to it, which is a bit like the soup house in Spirited Away. The specialties of the ancient town are handmade rice krispie treats and liquor.

Hidden in Hongya County, Meishan, the stunning Yan Yuan Village Waterfall
| Yan Yuan Village Waterfall.
Yan Yuan Waterfall, a spectacular waterfall hidden in the rural mountains. The waterfall is about 60 meters high and 30 meters wide, presenting a magnificent view. This summer, standing on a large rock and looking up at the waterfall, the mist on your face brings a natural coolness.
There are two waterfalls here, one large and one small. The river water under the waterfall is emerald green and crystal clear. Dense forests flank the valley, with cypress trees and rocky rivers distributed continuously. Rivers, grasslands, forests, and mountains make up the refreshing rural natural scenery.
