This is not abroad, this is Lizhou Jiuzi Village. 165 kilometers from Chengdu, you can make a round trip in one day. Depart from Chengdu in the morning, navigate to Qiangzhai Tianmei Homestay to arrive just in time for lunch. You can have barbecue or Tibetan hot pot at Tianmei's place. After lunch, take a short rest before heading to the top of Jiuzi Village. It's a bit far to hike. We found a local resident to drive us up the mountain, which cost us a few dozen yuan for the round trip. The price is negotiable (since it's a mountain road, it's not recommended to drive up the mountain yourself). Locals are more familiar with the road conditions. Once you reach the top, the beautiful scenery is all in sight, with horses, cows, mountains, and trees, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The beauty of nature can heal all unhappiness, so cheer up. Note! If you have enough time, you can stay at Tianmei's Qiangzhai for one night. A room costs just over a hundred, which is not expensive. The main thing is that the air is good on the mountain, and you might even see the starry sky at night.
