When the autumn wind blows through the valleys of the upper Min River, Heishui becomes the most romantic "colorful dream" in Western Sichuan—Dagu Glacier’s snow-capped peaks shine like silver crowns, the colorful forests of Naizigou blaze like flames over the mountains, and Heishui Qingxin Mountain Residence is like a "snow mountain letter" hidden in this oil painting. With "trust" as the bond, it connects all the romance of snowy mountains, colorful forests, and streams, making every stay a soulful journey you won’t regret.
【Stay】In the embrace of colorful forests and snowy mountains, every window is a "promise of trust"
● The "healing sincerity" of the wooden space: Furniture made from old fir wood carries natural textures, cotton and linen bedding sun-dried under Western Sichuan’s sunshine, and freshly picked wild chrysanthemums placed in handmade pottery jars; some room types feature private hot spring pools, where soaking in warm water while watching the snowy mountains makes you realize: "Genuine comfort is more touching than luxury."
● The "slow time promise" in the courtyard: Rocking chairs, tea tables, and a stove create a "daydream corner" reserved for you—no need to rush your itinerary or take "check-in photos." Here, "wasting time" is allowed because we believe: "True travel is letting your soul slow down."
【Explore】Guided by trust, unlock Heishui’s "autumn and winter limited romance"
We never recommend "superficial sightseeing," only taking you to "places worth staying":
▶️ Free shuttle from the guesthouse to Dagu Glacier—"The closest distance to the farthest, the truest shock"
As the "world’s lowest modern glacier," the beauty of Dagu Glacier is something we have "measured with our own steps":
● Ride the world’s highest altitude sightseeing cable car (4,860 meters) through the sea of clouds, beneath your feet lies billion-year-old blue ice, and in the distance, endless snowy mountain peaks—We will tell you the "best viewing time" in advance: the glacier sunrise at 7 a.m. (fewer people, sunlight just right on the snow caps), more moving than any "internet-famous check-in spot."
▶️ A 20-minute encounter with Naizigou Colorful Forest—"An 80-mile gallery, the purest colors"
The colorful forests of Naizigou are a "must-visit every autumn and winter" for us:
● This is Asia’s largest natural colorful forest belt. In the 80-mile valley, maple leaves are as red as fire, birch trees as golden as gold, and green ash trees as jade-like green—we will take you on a "lesser-known wooden walkway": avoiding the noise of tourist buses, stepping on thick fallen leaves, listening to the babbling streams, letting the colors of the forest "flow into your heart."
● We will also share the "secret of the colorful forest": mid to late October is the "peak of red leaves," early November is the "color transition period"—we don’t exaggerate the "best time," only share the truest "seasonal code," so you "come at the right time and see the right scenery."
▶️ Nearby hidden gems—"Our private treasures are the truest surprises"
● San’ao Snow Mountain Colorful Forest Hiking (30 minutes by car): The colorful forest surrounds the snowy mountain. While hiking through the woods, you might occasionally see squirrels jumping on branches or encounter leisurely yaks on the grass—we provide you with a "hand-drawn hiking map," marking "resting stones" and "best angles for snowy mountain photos," because "true secrets require a heart to discover."
● Kalong Valley Calcified Pools (1 hour by car): The colorful forest and blue calcified pools complement each other like gems embedded in the valley—we will tell you "this place is more off-the-beaten-path than Jiuzhaigou and quieter than Naizigou," but also remind you "the road is a bit steep, so wear comfortable shoes," because "sincere recommendations never hide details."
【Experience】Standing on trust, making every interaction "warm and genuine"
We never provide "standardized service," only "companionship with warmth":
● The owner is a native of Heishui and customizes routes based on your preferences—if you love photography, he will take you to "secret spots" to capture colorful forests and snowy mountains in one frame; if you prefer quiet, he will recommend "deserted streamside spots for daydreaming."
【Transportation & Booking】With trust as a promise, making every step "clear and reassuring"
● Self-driving: Navigate to "Heishui Qingxin Mountain Residence," the route is all highway plus mountain roads, with picturesque scenery along the way—we provide "road condition tips" in advance so you can "depart with peace of mind."
● Public transport: Take a bus from Chengdu Chadianzi Station to Heishui County, the guesthouse offers "free pick-up service" (requires booking one day in advance)—we never "cancel last minute."
【Core Philosophy】Trust in food, exchange heart to heart
We never attract you with "luxurious decoration" or "exaggerated promotion," only with "sincere service" and "authentic experiences"—because we believe: "The soul of a guesthouse is trust."
Here, you don’t have to worry about "being cheated," or "disappointment," just bring a relaxed heart to this "date with snowy mountains and colorful forests."
Heishui Qingxin Mountain Residence, with trust as the bond, awaits you in the colorful forests of Western Sichuan to see the snow of Dagu Glacier, hear the songs of Tibetans, and make every stay a beautiful moment you won’t regret.
