Why Go to Xinjiang for May Day When Sichuan's Western Region Offers Better Value!

✔️✔️✔️May Highlights: 🌱Four Sisters Mountain: In early May, Four Sisters Mountain offers a gradual feast from late winter's chill to spring's bloom to summer's brightness. You can simultaneously enjoy the beautiful scenery of snow mountains 🏔️, flower seas 🌸, meadows 🌱, and glaciers ❄️. The climate is mild, making it a golden season for hiking and photography 🤩 🌱Jiagenba: The entire route is as beautiful as a painting, with colorful forests 🍂, snow mountains 🏔️, streams, wooden bridges, and leisurely cattle and horses - a perfect spot for amazing photos 🌱Gurong Village: Observe the snow on Yala Snow Mountain up close, tender shoots 🌿 just emerging on the great meadow, and highland rhododendrons in full bloom. At this time, casual snapshots all resemble scenes from "Heidi and Grandfather" 🌟Lengga Lake: Encounter the golden sunrise on Gongga mountain peaks up close - if you're lucky, you can brag about it for years . ❤❤❤Food Recommendations 🥩Yak Meat: Must try! The meat is delicious and nutritious (truly different from city beef). Yak meat hot pot, roasted yak meat - every bite is satisfying 🍵Tibetan Hot Pot: Made with yak meat, Tibetan fragrant pork, various mushrooms, and special soup base. The flavor is rich - you'll fall in love with the first bite (The Tibetan clay hot pot at Mushan Yingxue Changpinggou Store in Four Sisters Mountain was my most unforgettable one, but I haven't been there for a year, so I'm not sure if the taste has changed) 🍵Butter Tea: Has a rich milk and tea fragrance. Not only delicious but also helps relieve altitude sickness (varies by person) 🍵Yak Yogurt: Tibetan handmade yogurt has a naturally sour taste. If you don't like sour foods, eat it with white sugar or jam . 🚶Travel Route: D1: Chengdu - 318 Landmark Checkpoint (Tianquan Service Area) - Red Lake (highland lake) - Gedilamu (highland fairy tale world) - Xinduqiao (accommodation) D2: Xinduqiao - Jiagenba - Riche Village - Lengga Lake/Muya Lake (Gongga golden sunrise) - Xinduqiao D3: Xinduqiao - Gurong Village - Moshi Park - Yala Snow Mountain Viewing Platform - Four Sisters Mountain D4: Four Sisters Mountain - Shuangqiao Valley - Balang Mountain - Cat's Nose Ridge - Chengdu . 🧳🧳🧳Packing List ✔Essential trio: Sunscreen + sunglasses + wool hat (the fierce mountain winds will teach you how to be human) ✔Layering formula: T-shirt + fleece + windbreaker (can remove outer layer at noon for beautiful photos) ✔Altitude sickness prevention: Drink rhodiola tea in advance, bring glucose oral solution, drink plenty of hot water
