    The pandas at the panda breeding base are incredibly cute. I was so lucky to even encounter one that could roll around and catch butterflies. If the green vegetation managed by the pandas could grow a bit bigger, the streets wouldn't be so sunny. Perhaps because of COVID-19, they do look rather dashing when they walk.

    A drop in the ocean, perhaps twenty years from now, I'll revisit Dujiangyan and greet my younger self. I recommend hiking up the mountain and spending a little money to visit Yulei Pavilion, where you can enjoy a panoramic view of Dujiangyan.

    I really enjoyed the atmosphere here; it's a lovely garden scenic spot. Du Fu was truly Du Fu—he knew how to choose a place to settle down! Although his own thatched cottage was very simple, the location he chose was truly beautiful and ideal for living. In short, I really liked this place! At first, I thought the ticket price was a bit expensive before going inside, but after walking around, I found it was definitely worth it.

    Emei is so hard to go, but it was truly rewarding when I reached the peak. Its very crowded, but you will still be able to get some pretty nice pictures. The monkeys along the way really added the extra special touch to the trip :) some people found the bus journey up the winding roads very nauseating, but I slept throughout and was fine both ways! You can consider eating some anti-nausea pills some time before the bus ride though!

    I went in the summer, it wasn't too hot, very comfortable. If you know about the history of the Three Kingdoms, it's a great place to visit. I highly recommend it. What impressed me most was the rotten wood statue next to Liu Bei, representing his son; "Rotten wood cannot be carved."

    After climbing Mount Emei, I went to Leshan to sample the local cuisine and also visited the famous Leshan Giant Buddha. Yes, the confluence of three rivers—the Minjiang, Qingyi, and Dadu—makes this auspicious location a sight to behold. The Buddha, built over 90 years, is definitely worth seeing. The red sandstone along the riverbank is easily weathered, and the section of the ancient path that once stood there is now a protected historical site, closed to traffic since around 2019. So, some places are best visited early; otherwise, the experience won't be the same as it was back then.

    Qingcheng Mountain has beautiful scenery. On a sunny day, the sun shines brightly, and the scenery is stunning. You can take the cable car up and walk down. I'd love to go again sometime, though it's a bit tiring on the legs. It's important to exercise more and get out more often. The air in Qingcheng Mountain is truly excellent; I highly recommend a visit.

    Taking children to Huanglong is half healing and half a challenge. The healing comes from the light in their eyes when they first see the Five-Colored Pool, walking on the soft boardwalk watching the water change colors, listening to their excited chatter about their new discoveries – the parent-child time is filled with beauty. The challenge comes from the discomfort of the high altitude and the agonizing wait in line for the park's sightseeing bus. But putting these minor hiccups aside, being able to experience the gentleness and grandeur of the high-altitude wetlands together with your child is the most precious reward of this trip.
