Chengdu has its own "Altay"❗  
The wild charm of Qianfo Mountain and the cliff carvings of Fozi Rock are absolutely stunning!🍞  
A cool 25°C throughout, perfect for summer escapes and vacations alike🥰  
Route: Chengdu—Xinchang Ancient Town (try a bowl of Zhou Blood Tofu🍜)—Fozi Rock (play in the water and collect stones)—Hua Shui Bay Hot Springs♨️—Qianfo Mountain (Buddhist pilgrimage & hiking)—"Wood-Fired Bakery" at the mountain base (feed the little goats🐑)  
Just a 2-hour drive! The bakery sits at the foot of Qianfo Mountain, with log cabins + meadows + goats, like stepping into a Xinjiang fairytale!  
Secret Spots:  
1️⃣ Wood-Fired Bakery: Sourdough bread🍞 fermented with mountain spring water, rich with smoky aroma! (The owner gave us scraps to feed the goats.)  
2️⃣ Fozi Rock riverbank: Hunt for patterned stones (locals call them "dragon bone stones").  
3️⃣ "Xiling Zhenna Villa" owner’s private creek—crystal-clear water perfect for kids to catch tiny fish🐟 (wear non-slip shoes!).  
4️⃣ Book a vibe-filled villa for gatherings—grilling, chatting, clinking glasses, and soaking in hot springs♨️... (Zhenna Villa’s complimentary plum wine is delicious...)  
❗❗Pro Tips❗❗:  
1⃣️ The bakery closes at 6 PM—don’t miss it!  
2⃣️ Premium villas🏨 book out fast—reserve at least 1 week ahead! We snagged the last villa with mahjong and real hot springs♨️ (Xiling Zhenna Hot Spring Villa). Friends on a budget chose "Qianfo Zhenna Villa," with exotic resort vibes and killer views❗  
3️⃣ For Qianfo Mountain, navigate to "Qianfo Mountain Scenic Area Parking Lot"—NOT Mianyang’s Qianfo Town! (Learned this the hard way.)
