A hiking paradise south of Chengdu where you can see the "Golden Mountain" at sunrise

Located just over 160 km from Chengdu, Zhaizi Village in Gaoqiao Town is a hiking route near Chengdu. The village is surrounded by tea mountains and shrouded in mist. The scenery is stunning on a clear day, making it worth the early morning hike. 🚞How to get there? Take a high-speed train from Chengdu to Emeishan Station. You can take a taxi to your destination or stay at Emei Chuzishanjian Xiyuan or Foya Zen Tea Manor, both of which offer a shuttle service to the station. ⛰️Photo spots Golden Mountain: This is probably the first time you will see the Emei Snow Mountain from a third-person perspective. When the sun shines on Mount Emei, the golden sunlight and white snow create a magnificent visual effect. It is breathtaking. The mountain is right in front of you, but you can never touch it. The wide-angle, telephoto, and panoramic shots are all uniquely beautiful. Zhoushan Zen Tea Valley: Known as the "largest temple in Western Sichuan" in ancient times, the valley is home to more than 1,000 mu of 50-year-old Sichuan tea and tens of thousands of century-old tea trees. Here, you will find a manor that seems to have grown out of the tea mountain, Foya Zen Tea Manor, which is now open to the public. Staying here is like staying in a primeval forest. It is truly beautiful and stunning. 🤓 The hiking route in Zhaizi Village is still relatively unknown, so there are few visitors and it has not been noticed by the locals. The route is not very difficult. Most of the villagers are elderly people who have stayed behind. If you pass by and see some fruits and vegetables you like, you can buy some to taste the natural, organic vegetables that have been blessed by the Buddha.👅
