Free off-the-beaten-path attraction Pingwu Baima scenic route – encounter green waters, blue skies, colorful forests, and snowy mountains

Driving from Chengdu to Pingwu Baima, this route is truly an autumn visual feast! The stunning combination of colorful forests, snowy mountains, Tianmu Lake, and blue skies with white clouds made me marvel at nature’s craftsmanship all along the way 👏 📌Must-visit spots: 1️⃣ Baxijia Ancient Village (within Baima Wanglang National Nature Reserve, Pingwu County, Mianyang City, Sichuan Province) This Tibetan ancient village retains its most original appearance. In autumn, the colorful forests covering the hills make the whole village especially beautiful. Standing in the village, you can gaze at the snowy mountains in the distance, and the river winding in front of the village creates postcard-perfect scenery with every shot 🏞️ 🚗Transportation tips: Self-driving is recommended. It takes about 5 hours from Chengdu. The section from Mianyang to Pingwu passes through the most beautiful scenery, so remember to fill up your gas tank in advance~ 📸Photo tips: 1. The best time to shoot Baxijia Ancient Village is before 10 a.m. and after 4 p.m. 2. When taking photos under the snowy mountains, wearing bright-colored clothes makes the pictures stand out more 3. Increasing contrast slightly when photographing the colorful forests enhances the effect ✨Friendly reminders: - The mountain area is relatively cold, so remember to bring a jacket - UV rays are strong on the plateau, so be sure to do sun protection - October to November is the best viewing period, with especially spectacular colorful forests
