Soak in the snow mountain hot springs with your kids! The complete 22℃ summer escape and family guide to Gergou

✨A natural healing spot beneath the snow mountains✨
August in Chengdu is meltingly hot, but Gergou is embraced by a refreshing 20℃ coolness! Starting from Longgang, Shenzhen, drive 3 hours via Chengdu to reach this hidden paradise. The moment you open the car door, you’re stunned by a scene where snow mountains, forests, and hot springs intertwine—kids chase butterflies toward a Tibetan-style manor while you soak in milky hot springs watching clouds drift by. This is what summer vacation should be like!

🏨Stay in a fairy-tale family castle🏨
✅Ramada Hot Spring Hotel: The brand-new "Cave Family Room" turns kids into little explorers instantly! Fully smart-controlled room + private hot spring pool, a children’s tent projection area filled with picture books and toys, and when you open the curtains in the morning, the majestic snow mountains greet you. The hotel’s second-floor mini playground is a perfect energy outlet, and the snow mountain afternoon tea by the infinity pool lets parents easily snap stunning photos.
✅Gongdeling Manor: In the 10-meter-high Tibetan-style lobby, the butler serves warm Tibetan tea and barley biscuits, instantly winning the kids over! We recommend the "Tibetan Deluxe Private Hot Spring Room," where floor-to-ceiling windows overlook snow mountain valleys, and you can see the Milky Way and snow mountains together while soaking. The manor’s unique Thangka painting workshop lets kids experience Tibetan culture through colors and stories.

♨️Family magic in the hot springs♨️
Known as the "Best Hot Spring in Western Sichuan," Gergou Hot Spring is rich in 17 trace elements. The 45℃ constant temperature pool has a shallow area designed for children, where kids can play with water guns while learning fun facts about how the hot spring water nourishes the body. We recommend visiting the mountain hot spring area at dusk, soaking in the open-air pools surrounded by snow mountains while watching the sunset dye the clouds golden pink; at night, the indoor hot spring in the main building is even more thoughtful, with anti-slip floors and a constant temperature system, so even very young children can play safely.

🎢Tibetan village adventures and nature classes🎢
✅Qiudi Tibetan Village Carnival Night: The Friday night bonfire party is a must! Rent Tibetan costumes for 30 RMB/set and transform the whole family into Jiarong Tibetans. Learn the Guozhuang dance with villagers, with firelight reflecting on smiling faces, creating an unforgettable atmosphere. You can also learn to make butter bread with the local moms—crispy outside, soft inside, with a milky aroma that kids can’t stop eating.
✅Bipeng Valley Nature Class: Just a 30-minute drive from Gergou, Bipeng Valley is a natural outdoor classroom! Stroll along wooden boardwalks with a stroller, see the snow mountains reflected in the clear waters of Panyang Lake, and bring a sketchpad for the kids to paint; on the meadows of Swallow Rock Nest, you might spot little squirrels—don’t forget binoculars to observe the plateau ecosystem.

🍖A Tibetan-Qiang feast for your taste buds🍖
✅Manor breakfast ritual: Tibetan yogurt with wild honey, yak meat pies, and butter bread fill the table, beautifully plated like works of art—even picky kids fight to finish it all.
✅Town’s lively food scene: A 5-minute walk to Gergou town leads you to "Liu’s Barbecue" greenhouse, where sizzling yak meat skewers pair with slightly sweet barley wine (non-alcoholic versions perfect for kids). For about 50 RMB per person, you get a hearty meal. The Tibetan hot pot is a must-try, with a copper pot piled high with hand-shredded yak meat, morel mushrooms, and matsutake, and the broth is incredibly flavorful!

🚗Nanny-level practical guide🚗
▫️Transportation tips: After flying to Chengdu from Shenzhen, it’s recommended to rent a car (about 800 RMB/day). The route is all highway and national roads, with plenty of spots to stop and take photos of flower-filled highways. Ramada Hotel offers free shuttle service—booking in advance is more convenient.
▫️Summer package: Ramada offers a summer special starting at 225 RMB/person/night (minimum 3 nights), including breakfast, unlimited hot spring access, and 4 hours of daily board games, plus free admission for children under 1.4m! Book now to unlock a snow mountain afternoon tea voucher.
▫️Must-haves before the trip: Children’s sun hats, non-slip creek shoes, portable medicine kit (including fever and stomach medicine). The plateau has big temperature differences between day and night, so a windbreaker and light jacket are essential.
