My spending habits collapsed after 3 days in Panzhihua

Baozis! I recently discovered a treasure trove that's perfect for chilling out and going wild: Panzhihua! 🌺
It has gentler sunshine than Sanya, spicier food than Chengdu, and surprises hidden in the mountains and valleys.
I've put together a super detailed guide, so you can't go wrong following it! πŸ‘‡

🌟 [Itinerary Overview: 3 Days and 2 Nights in Panzhihua] 🌟

Day 1: City Check-in β†’ Full of Local Life

β€’ Morning: Yishala Ancient Village 🌿
China's No. 1 Yi ethnic village! Red walls, gray tiles, and stone roads make every shot feel like a movie.
Remember to find an auntie in the village to buy a cup of freshly squeezed sugarcane juice 🍹, it's sweet to the heart!

β€’ Afternoon: Panzhihua Park 🌳
A local's secret oxygen bar! Climb to the top for a panoramic view of the city, the sunset is absolutely beautiful πŸŒ‡.
On the way down the mountain, visit the "Third-Line Construction Museum," the retro train and old factory buildings are great for taking photos πŸ“Έ!

β€’ Evening: Jin'ou Square Night Market 🍒
So fragrant you can't move! Must-try grilled small intestine (crispy on the outside and tender on the inside), ice powder jelly (spicy relief artifact),
and freshly baked pineapple rice 🍍, sweet and super satisfying.

πŸŒ„ [Day 2: Natural Adventure β†’ Frolicking Between Mountains and Seas]

β€’ Morning: Yizhi Green Train 🚞
The retro green train travels through a wonderland! Choose a window seat and watch the Jinsha River winding at your feet,
as if you've stepped into a Miyazaki animation.πŸ’¨

β€’ Afternoon: Yishala Jinsha River Viewing Platform 🌊
Stand on the edge of the cliff and feel the river breeze! In the distance is the "Little Erhai" view of the river,
remember to bring a light jacket, the wind is a bit cool. πŸ§₯

β€’ Evening: Tianxing Lakeside 🌌
A secret base for locals to take a walk after dinner! There are bars and barbecue stalls by the lake,
order a cup of lemon tea πŸ‹, listen to the resident singer play the guitar, the atmosphere is full.

🍜 [Foodie Radar: Panzhihua Must-Eat List] 🍜

⚠️ Key points! The food here is spicy and fragrant, remember to bring digestive tablets if you have a small stomach!

β€’ Hu Lao Si Beef Noodles 🍜
The soup base is super thick! The beef slices are as thin as paper, add a spoonful of chili flakes 🌢️, it's so spicy you'll sweat, super refreshing.

β€’ Pang Jie Dipping Rice Noodles πŸ₯’
The soul is in the dipping sauce! Millet pepper + peanut crumbs + mint, the rice noodles are full of soup, a bite into the soul.

β€’ Song Yanhua Mango Smoothie πŸ₯­
Freshly cut mangoes piled into a small mountain! There are also fruit granules in the smoothie, a bite of sweetness to the heart. 🍧

β€’ Pepper Salt Cake + Fatty Intestine Noodles 🌯
Local breakfast CP! The pepper salt cake is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, dipped in fatty intestine soup, it's amazing.

πŸ›οΈ [Accommodation Guide: Value for Money Options] πŸ›οΈ

β€’ First choice in the city: Panzhihua Hotel 🏨
Old state-owned hotel, excellent location! Walking distance to the night market and park,
the rooms are spacious and clean, super cost-effective.

β€’ Internet-famous homestay: Miyi Sun Valley 🌿
Choose this place if you want to lie down! Open the window to see the pastoral scenery, suitable for dazing and watching the clouds ☁️,
there are also outdoor swimming pools and barbecue areas, families with children can also have fun.

πŸš— [Travel Tips: Nanny-level Avoidance Guide] πŸš—

β€’ Transportation ✈️: Fly directly to Panzhihua Bao'anying Airport, the starting price for taxis in the city is CNY 6, and the bus is CNY 2 for a through ticket.

β€’ Dress πŸ‘—: Large temperature difference between day and night! Wear short sleeves + sunscreen in the daytime, and add a thin coat in the evening (best from March to May).

β€’ Avoidance ❌: Don't buy unknown fruits on the roadside! Ask for the price before you start, to avoid stepping on the pit.

πŸ’Œ [Last Words]
Panzhihua is really an underestimated city!
There are no crowded people here, only a slow-paced local life,
whether it's sunbathing, eating delicious food, or chasing a sunset over the Jinsha River,
it can make you completely forget the hustle and bustle of the city. πŸŒ…
