Another exhausting week is over, how about a rich and relaxing itinerary for the weekend~ Follow my plan and let's go~
09:00 Tanzhe Temple | Morning Zen at the Thousand-Year-Old Temple
🌟 Must-try:
· Light incense and pray at the Hall of Heavenly Kings, said to boost your career luck
· Touch the Emperor Ginkgo (a 1300-year-old ancient tree, named "Emperor Tree" by Emperor Qianlong)
· Collect the incense ash glass bracelet (exclusive to Buddhist circulation places, shimmering under the sunlight)
· Have a cup of coffee at the temple’s Jiafu Coffee~
🍽️ 11:30 Mountain Wild Lunch | Collision of Vegetarian and Rustic Flavors
🥬 Zen choice: Vegetarian meal inside the temple
🍗 Meat recommendation: A few minutes’ walk outside the temple to delicious iron pot stew
🕳️ 13:00 Baqi Cave | Enter the 16℃ Underground Magical World
🔦 Cave adventures:
· 400-meter slide straight to the earth’s core (extra 30 RMB, hold the anti-slip mat tight when sliding, super stress-relieving!)
· Walk across the lotus flower floating bridge over the underground dark river, with lights illuminating stalactites like coiled dragons
· Touch the mysterious stone dragon of "Xiansheng Dragon Pool" (an expert’s unsolved mystery, neither stone nor jade but with clear scales)
⚠️ Pitfall tips: High humidity and steep stairs inside the cave, wear anti-slip shoes + light jacket (constant 16℃); if you have knee problems, avoid the "Underground Great Wall" section
🏡 16:30 Xiaoman Private Hot Spring Homestay | Healing Moment in Mountain Wild Courtyard
► 🛁 No compromise on private hot springs: Each courtyard’s hot spring water is drawn from a kilometer underground, bicarbonate springs are smooth and skin-friendly, leaving your skin silky after soaking
► 🎨 Design as art: The art academy owner personally created the hollow light and shadow wall, Marshall speakers paired with a solid wood tea table, full relaxation vibe
► 🌌 Soul emptying technique: Soak while gazing at the mountains, evening breeze ringing the eaves’ wind chimes
🛏️ Room Recommendations:
💑 Couple’s first choice: "Biyi" panoramic terrace room (bathtub facing the starry sky)
👨👩👧 Family recommendation: "Baize" courtyard room (40㎡ private courtyard + children’s tatami)
⭐ Deep healing fans: "Zhuyu" tea room suite (handmade scutellaria tea)
A pot of tea, a lamp, a pool of hot spring, city anxiety completely stripped away—this is what "Xiaoman means perfection" really is
