Chengdu, this treasure town under the snowy mountain, boasts beautiful scenery, few people, and an abundance of wild vegetables
To the west of Chengdu, the Xiling Snow Mountain stretches continuously. 🏔️
Xieyuan Town, a hidden paradise beneath the Xiling Snow Mountain.
Verdant hills faintly visible, clear waters babbling, flowers blooming like a brocade.
Green bricks and grey tiles, covered bridges over flowing water, winding paths leading to secluded spots, a view at every step.
Xieyuan is not an ancient town, but a long-sought-after poetic retreat.
·Spring outing to Xieyuan🍅
Step into the Xieyuan fruit and vegetable base, gaze at the vast distant mountains, admire the poetic sea of rapeseed flowers, experience the joy of picking, and take cool photos with the miner panda. There are vegetables in the greenhouses that are in the peak of their growth, and the roadside grass outside hides a plethora of wild vegetables.
Walk through Xieyuan Town, feel the simple local customs, reminisce about the past with the old items on the walls. Look at the mountains, gaze at the water, listen to the wind, admire the flowers... Life in the town is very comfortable and leisurely.
·Photo checkpoint📷
At the fruit and vegetable base, you can take pictures with the miner panda, rainbow railings, and the camping site.
Miner's Club, have a coffee
By the stream, there's a checkpoint with white tables and chairs like those in Shuanglang, Xieyuan road signs, picture frames, and the wall with Buddha stone carvings from Yaoshi Rock.
Dayi white porcelain, neatly inlaid on the wall, a casual snapshot is full of artistic conception.
Old items wall, a wall full of life appliances and transportation tools commonly used by our parents, a throwback to 'Reply 1988'.
Jiulong Bridge, you can go to the small path under the bridge and look up at the majestic Jiulong Bridge.
·Miner's Club⚒️
A beautiful coffee bar themed around Xieyuan's mining culture, offering light meals and afternoon tea. A flowering tree at the entrance is very photogenic right now.
·Xieyuan Cultural and Creative Center🐼
Lots of miner panda-themed merchandise available for purchase~ At the entrance, there's a huge miner panda perfect for taking photos with.
·Xiling Post Traveler Service Center
A rest stop for cycling and self-driving tours, with two restaurants, Xiangwei Kitchen and Xiling Little Kitchen, offering local ingredients, green and healthy food with great taste, and next to it, a Rider's Club that cares for cyclists.
The landscape is serene and naturally charming.
Come to Xieyuan! See the poetic spring.

Holle～Hello everyone! This is Xiaxia, taking you to explore the hidden gems around Dujiangyan and its vicinity
Located at the foot of Xiling Snow Mountain, known as the 'first town to enter the mountains', Xieyuan Town in Dayi County, Chengdu, boasts gray bricks and black tiles, ancient trees reaching the sky, exuding a simple and serene charm.
We went to Daping Village to see the plum blossoms, and on the way back, we took a stroll through the town. Although it is an ancient town, the buildings are newly constructed, but there are still many photogenic spots in the town. However, now is the off-season, and many shops in the town are closed. Summer is the peak season here, with a lot of people coming to play in the water.
🌈Highlight Features: The villages around Xieyuan Town were once dominated by coal mining. From a residential resettlement site to becoming a popular check-in spot on the internet, from 'living off industry' to 'living off tourism', it is neither a traditional scenic spot nor has it undergone large-scale commercial development.
Xieyuan Town has introduced a visionary and promising social investment management team, setting up 22 boutique projects along the main tourist route, such as Shadow Water Bar, Heizi Perspective, Artistic Homestays, and 720° Cloud Photography, making the slow life of the countryside a fashion, where you can enter, sit down, and stay.
