The best views are indeed the free ones… Gunong Village

This year, Gunong Village will be a breath of fresh air✔️. Strongly recommend sisters visiting Western Sichuan in June-July not to miss this free check-in spot with a 180-degree view of Yala Snow Mountain🏔️, clear streams for camping nearby, vast fields of wildflowers, and endless green wilderness to explore!! If you have enough time, be sure to check in at Gunong Village in the early morning🌁. The early morning at Gunong Village is the gentlest painting of the Western Sichuan Plateau🖼️. The moment you unzip your tent, the outline of Yala Snow Mountain appears faintly through the mist, morning light pierces through the clouds onto the meadow, dew💦 and wildflowers weave into a sparkling mosaic of tiny diamonds💎. Such a scene might only be seen in fairy tales!! 🚗 About the off-the-beaten-path Gunong Village itinerary D1: Chengdu - Maobiliang Viewing Platform - Siguniang Mountain·Shuangqiao Valley - Danba D2: Danba - Yala Snow Mountain Scenic Area - Gunong Village - Tagong - Yuzixi - Xinduqiao D3: Xinduqiao - Moon Lake - Lenggacuo D4: Zimei Pass - Gaersi - Zheduo Mountain - Chengdu 📍【About Gunong Village】 🗺️ Location: Near Tagong Town, Kangding City, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture 🚘 Transportation: 6 hours from Chengdu, no problem for sedans 🎫 Tickets: 🆓 Free!
