A comfortable mountain home | The most beautiful homestay in Chengdu's small "Aman" I feel that Aman is a hidden gem among global hotel brands. People who love it will check in like crazy along the marks on the map. There are only three Aman resorts in China: Beijing Yihe, Hangzhou Fayun and Lijiang Dayan. I have experienced each of them, and in one word: expensive and beautiful$~ As a native Chengdu native, I have always hoped that Aman can build a "Chengdu Tianfu". It wasn't until Zizai Shanju appeared that I was shocked. Isn't this a mini version of Aman Dayan? It is a replica in exact proportion. So I decided to "sleep with him" and then quietly plant some seeds for you about B&B: The entire homestay is located on the hillside at an altitude of 1,200 meters, surrounded by mountains, and has a bit of arrogance hidden in the city. Here comes the point. This altitude brings two benefits: no mosquitoes in the summer and snow in the winter. You should know that in a basin like ours, you can go bare-legged in the jungle to enjoy the coolness in the summer and listen to the sound of snow falling in the winter. That is simply too happy! PS: There is floor heating in the winter Check-in: There were two big words "Free" written on the plaque at the entrance, and I instantly felt FREE. After entering the door, follow the winding plank road all the way up. The stream flows slowly by my feet, and along the way there are all kinds of flowers and birds calling to my room.

Wear comfortable sports shoes or hiking shoes to avoid fatigue and potential danger. 4. Check the weather forecast before traveling. Pengzhou’s weather is changeable, so remember to bring rain gear and appropriate clothing, and take sun and rain protection measures. 5.

The Longmen Mountains: The "Western Backbone" of the Chengdu Plain, Nature's Ecological Poetry As the natural barrier on the western edge of the Chengdu Plain, the Longmen Mountains stretch over 200 km in a northeast-southwest direction, with elevations soaring from 2,000m to over 3,000m westward. The main peak, Jiuding Mountain, stands like a pillar of heaven, towering at 4,989m and overlooking the world below. The dramatic vertical drop here creates breathtaking layered landscapes: at lower elevations, the forests of Bailu Forest Park cycle through the seasons—spring azaleas blaze like fire, while autumn foliage glows like sunset; mid-slope, the Baishui River Nature Reserve shelters a haven for giant pandas, where over 4,000 species of wildlife thrive together; and at the summit, Jiuding Mountain’s perpetual mist weaves a magical scene of "four seasons in one mountain," unfolding in all its glory. The people of Pengzhou’s love for mountains is embedded in three ecological landmarks: the rugged peaks of Jiufeng Mountain (Flame Peak, Vermilion Bird Peak, etc.), standing like cliffs carved by blades, majestic and mysterious amidst swirling clouds; the crystal-clear streams of Baishui River nourishing all life, serving as a sanctuary for countless rare species; and the oxygen-rich air of Bailu Forest, a "natural remedy" for urbanites escaping the hustle and bustle. These mountains are not just a barrier but a gift, sculpted over eons into the most captivating ecological tapestry of Sichuan. Pengzhou’s charm lies in the grandeur of the Longmen Mountains, the myths of Jianshan, the allure of its three major branches, and the rings of time in Jiulong Mountain. These ranges not only uphold the ecological shield of the Chengdu Plain but also cradle the origins of ancient Shu civilization and the cultural fusion of Sichuan and Chongqing. When you stand atop Jiuding Mountain watching the sea of clouds, listen to golden snub-nosed monkeys calling in Baishui River, or trace the legacy of "Jiulong" in Jiulong Mountain, you’ll understand: the mountains are Pengzhou’s skeleton—and its soul. This city embraced by peaks is never just scenery—it’s a symbiosis of nature and culture, a symphony of history and reality.
