The Western Sichuan Route

⛰️ The Western Sichuan Route – Where Nature Meets Faith 🌌 If there is one place in China where travelers are left in awe by both majestic landscapes and sacred silence, it must be Western Sichuan. More than a trekking paradise, this region is often called an “outdoor movie studio,” where every snapshot feels like a masterpiece. 📍 Litang – City in the Clouds From Kangnian Old Town with its Tibetan charm to the grand Changqingchunke’er Monastery, Litang is both romantic and solemn. 📍 Seda – The Endless Sea of Red Houses Here, spirituality and daily life blend seamlessly. “Beyond Seda, there is no Seda” – once you visit, you’ll understand why words fall short. 📍 Danxia Town & Xinlong Red Mountain In Danxia, enjoy a 360° panorama of lakes, mountains, and hidden retreats. At Xinlong, red stone layers rise like a “ladder to the sky,” surreal even on cloudy days. 📍 Moshika Park & Shuangqiaogou Valley Moshika is enchanting under the rain, while Shuangqiaogou stuns with red pine forests, Mount Budala, and the glittering Zhugala Lake – the gem of the valley. ✨ The legendary highlights: • Zesangla Sky Garden – where every frame is a masterpiece. • Zimei Pass – only 5km from Gongga’s main peak, offering the best close-up view. • Yuzixi – a rare spot to witness sunset, starlight, and sunrise all at once. • Lenggacuo Lake – the “dressing table” of Gongga, perfect for breathtaking reflections. • Lisuo & Muya Lake – magical at sunrise when snow peaks turn golden. • Gedilamu – dreamy swings and cabins under snowcapped mountains. • Genie Mountain & the “Eye of Genie” – mysterious and awe-inspiring, like gazing into the soul of the earth.
