Liupanshui is a great weekend getaway for beating the heat

A cool destination—Liupanshui, the 'Cool Capital' You can take a high-speed train or drive from Chengdu to Liupanshui, as the whole journey is accessible via expressway. We chose to drive ourselves as it was more convenient, but you can also rent a car upon arriving by high-speed train. Our main destinations were the Meihuashan Resort, Shuicheng Ancient Town, and the Wumeng Prairie. 1. The Meihuashan Resort is known for its spherical hotel and the park, which is great for taking photos. Any shot you take is picturesque. However, the accommodation is a bit pricey, as the rooms are independent and quiet due to their standalone nature. 2. In Shuicheng Ancient Town, we mainly enjoyed the sour fish, strolled around to see the night scenery, and admired the small bridges and streams. Inside the ancient town, there are various live singing performances and talent shows. 3. I highly recommend the Wumeng Prairie. Initially, I thought it would be an ordinary prairie, but I was amazed to discover what 'the wind blows low to show the sheep and cattle' truly means. The large windmills, vast prairie, and big white clouds along the way are incredibly beautiful. Eating a watermelon when the weather is hot is just perfect, and the roasted potatoes and lamb skewers are also very nice. Overall, Liupanshui has a lower temperature, so I suggest bringing a jacket!
