Ya'an is a stop worth making a special stop in the rainy city. One day, between Bifeng Gorge and giant pandas, encounter the unique atmosphere of Ya'an.

Upon arriving in Ya'an, Bifeng Gorge immediately took the lead. In the morning light, it quietly spreads out like the first calling card handed over to this place, making people unconsciously step lighter.

Leaving half a day for the giant pandas was the most cost-effective decision on this Ya'an trip. Details unfolded at your fingertips and before your eyes, more satisfying than any check-in.

The tea horse is a gift from Ya'an to slow travelers. When you are willing to pause for a beam of light or a gust of wind, it gives up its softest part.

The evening rain is most full of the warmth of everyday life. Find a nearby small restaurant and enjoy a slow drink under the night sky of Ya'an, recounting the day's scenery through the cups.

The beauty of Ya'an is something you only slowly savor after you leave. When you suddenly think of Bifeng Gorge elsewhere, you'll understand: some places are meant to be missed over and over.
