Visitors can enjoy the Nie Er Youth Orchestra Art Week, float on a bamboo raft through Tianhetan scenic area, catch meteor showers on Yunding Grassland, or feel the adrenaline rush of the Mountain Hero Challenge.

Start your day at Shizi Street with a bowl of Huaxi beef rice noodles, sip artisan coffee in the afternoon, catch a roadside music concert at dusk, and unwind with a glass of craft beer by night. Don't forget to take home a piece of local culture, such as intricately crafted Miao embroidery or batik souvenirs.

For accommodation, options include the historic Longjing village, a 500-year-old Bouyei settlement, the tranquil tea-scented countryside of Qiantao village, or the serene Shili Hetan Resort, offering peace and quiet right in the heart of the city.

Wherever you go in Huaxi, you'll find a refreshing escape, joyful moods, and a true taste of summer living.
