"Lazy" Travel in Sichuan | A Guide to "Chill Mode" Tourism~

Who says travel has to be hardcore?
This lazy traveler unlocked "horizontal sightseeing" in Sichuan—
Living by the motto: "If I can sit, I won't stand; if I can lie down, I won't sit."
Step one to chilling? Handing over the itinerary to someone else.
That's why I opted for a chartered car tour 😉
The driver-guide handled everything, tailoring the schedule to my preferences.
Now THIS is true "chill mode" travel!!!

Anti-routine itinerary 🛌
Day 1: Dashiban Village → Golden Scale Beach
Drove to Dashiban Village in the afternoon—this orange Yi ethnic village is insanely photogenic!
🛕 Got complimented for having "Buddhist affinity" while praying at Lingying Temple (maybe my chill vibe looked pious?)
After exploring, the driver took me to a hidden gem at Golden Scale Beach—fewer crowds, stunning views, basically had the whole beach to myself!
Day 2: Fishing Platform - Moonlight Town - Jianchang Ancient City - Tang Garden
While others woke early for sunrise, I slept in and fed seagulls at Fishing Platform 🕊️
Rented hanfu at Jianchang Ancient City—driver snapped perfect shots instantly 📸 (no makeup = no face = skipped editing! Haha)
Evening brought us to a driver-recommended authentic firepot BBQ spot—absolutely divine~ No more agonizing over food choices—this lazy traveler is in love 🥰
Day 3: Xichang Lushan Slide → Happy Home
Driver insisted we queue early for Lushan, even called to wake me (bless him)
Thank goodness someone managed the schedule—I'd have slept through it all 🤣
The downhill slide was smoother than Dove chocolate—must-try experience!

Post-trip thoughts:
Handing off planning to others is BLISS—
When I wanted naps, driver adjusted his driving for smoother rides.
When I wanted photos, the car "coincidentally" parked at perfect angles—he even captured my best life shot.
When I agonized over dinner, he took me to local-approved spots that blew my mind 🥰
Now I get it: While others compete in itinerary density, I compete in COMFORT!
