Stay in a Neo-Chinese aesthetic hotel and unlock the secrets of millennium-old stone carvings.

Girlfriends 👯‍♀️, who understands?!❗️ I discovered a hidden gem of a city in eastern Sichuan, favored by time! My stay at the Yunfuli Hotel completely overturned my perception of traditional hotels. The scent of sandalwood drifting from the lobby instantly cured the fatigue of my journey 🍵 🏨 Yunfuli Hotel (Anyue Ningdu Avenue Branch) 📍 No. 3 Huangjueya Street, Ningdu Avenue, Anyue Day 1️⃣ A night in a landscape painting 🏞️ My room was a concerto of warm light and natural wood tones! The landscape painting at the bedside seemed to breathe, complemented by smart room controls throughout. Classical aesthetics and modern technology can be such a perfect match! Special praise for the double-curtain design! Waking up to the morning light filtering through the bamboo-patterned sheer curtains, and drawing the blackout curtains in the afternoon for an instant immersive nap – I give these details full marks 💯 Housekeeper's surprise gift 🎁 The housekeeper really understands a foodie's heart! Not only did she recommend the local time-honored lemon feast, but she also whispered, "The sad jelly noodles around the corner must be paired with the shaved ice from the shop next door to be authentic" 🍜🍋 (Key point) 🚗 Nearby attractions: 1⃣ Yuanguo Cave (8-minute drive) I recommend arriving at 4pm! When the setting sun gilds the edges of the thousand-year-old Buddha statues, the 12-meter-high Lotus Hand Guanyin is breathtakingly beautiful. Focus on the Northern Song Dynasty "Three Sages of the West" niche; the folds of the garments are more exquisite than a haute couture gown 👗 2⃣ Thousand Buddha Village (15-minute drive) A wild and charming secret spot known only to locals! 797 cliff carvings are hidden among the pine trees. Remember to wear Hanfu to take some forest-themed photos. After the rain, moss covers the Tang Dynasty Bodhisattva statues, and you can almost hear whispers echoing through the millennia 🌿 🍜 Food recommendations: Zhou Li Sad Jelly Noodles (Makes you cry but you can't stop eating 🌶️) Pot-braised Pork (Perfect with lemon wine 🍹) Nameless Tofu Pudding with Rice (The tofu pudding is smoother than first love 🥰) 🏞 Day 2️⃣: Visiting the Oriental Venus Chartered a car to Mingshan Temple (40 minutes). When the 8-meter-high Northern Song Dynasty Guanyin statue came into view, the entire cliff seemed to glow! The statue's hair bun has a delicate bow hidden within, and the folds of the skirt seem to flutter in the mountain breeze. 💕 Tip: Wear flat shoes! Some stone steps are quite steep 👟 📸 Photo guide: • At Mumen Temple, use a wide-angle lens to capture the spectacle of the "Ming Pagoda Enclosing the Song Pavilion." • At Huayan Cave, take center-stage photos of the smiling Bodhisattva. • At Peacock Cave, capture the Peacock King in the sunset. 💡 Trip tips: ① The attractions are far apart, so renting a car/chartering a car is recommended. ② You can arrange for a professional guide specializing in stone carvings (highly recommended!). ③ For souvenirs, choose freeze-dried lemon slices + stone carving-themed cultural and creative products. This trip was like living in an aesthetic museum, with cultural surprises around every corner. The small city of Anyue has carved its thousand-year-old stories into stone, while Yunfuli has captured all the poetry within its eaves.
