Sichuan's Little Switzerland~YeLe Lake

Sichuan's Little Switzerland~YeLe Lake, Buddha said: Only deep and profound fate Can make us walk the same path over and over again, and go to the same place over and over again YeLe Lake, which allows me to visit the same place twice, is one of them. I accidentally saw YeLe Lake on the Internet a few years ago Indeed, it is a niche attraction that few people know about. It is in a semi-open state You need to book a homestay in the scenic area in advance to enter the scenic area. There are very few homestays, and only one has good conditions I like this semi-open state, which greatly controls the flow of people and will not disturb the lives of the original residents It also enhances the experience of guests staying in the scenic area. The first time I went to YeLe Lake was during the Spring Festival in 2022. When other scenic spots were overcrowded I experienced charter tourism at YeLe Lake (with winter photos) The feeling is different in different seasons, it's worth me to travel a long way to see it. Today I saw the latest news about YeLe Lake, which is limited to 100 people per day You can make an appointment online in advance, and you don't need to book a homestay in the scenic area to enter

Visited Yele Lake

This time we chose to pre-order from Miye Inn, and the smoked meat stewed chicken soup pot we had was very tasty, recommended👍 🌲 Scenery: Yele Lake has pleasant scenery, with different views in each season. It has a quiet beauty that feels secluded from the world, with primitive villages of ethnic minorities, few people, beautiful views, and many animals. Along the way, there are monkeys🐒, cattle and sheep🐑🐂, pigs🐖. Snow-capped mountains are within easy reach, and when the weather is good and the sun is out, the lake shimmers beautifully. You can watch the sunrise and sunset🌄, and at night there are stars🌃. It's very relaxing, fun, beautiful, and photogenic by the lakeside. In summer, when the grass turns green, it should be even more beautiful. I want to go again in winter. Highly recommend camping⛺️ 1️⃣ For camping, you can navigate to📍 Yele Lake Shepherd Tribe Camping Base. It costs 40 yuan/car to enter, plus 10 yuan per person.

Mianning-Lingshan Temple

Hidden and unassuming, in the deep old forest of the western foothills of Xiaoxiangling, the incense is not affected by the remote and high ridge, it's truly a treasure land. During the Qianlong period, Buddhist disciple Yang Xuexin (Dharma name Wuzhen) traveled through the 'Four Famous Mountains' and passed by Mianning Lingshan. He saw detailed clouds covering it, and was moved by the unique and strange scenery of Lingshan, so he decided to build a temple in Lingshan for quiet cultivation. It took 15 years to build the Lingshan Temple, and he preached for 21 springs and autumns, with 48 disciples. In 1804, after his death, his body did not decay and was worshipped by disciples in the Buddha Hall for 160 years. Moreover, he left a spectacular 'Seven Stars Holding the Moon' temple for future generations, and created the temple style of 'Goodness is the Best, Forever Tied to Lingguang' for future generations.

Lingshan Temple‖"The first spirit in the world, the first mountain in the south of Sichuan, the first temple in Panxi"

Lingshan Temple is located in Mianning County, Liangshan Prefecture, Sichuan Province. It is 365 kilometers away from downtown Chengdu, 8 kilometers away from Mianning County, and 80 kilometers away from the capital of Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture. Because it is closely backed by the towering mountain called Lingshan, it is called Lingshan Temple. Lingshan Temple was built during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. It is the most famous temple in Liangshan Prefecture, and it is known as the "first spirit in the world, the first mountain in the south of Sichuan, the first temple in Panxi" because of its responsiveness. The scenery of Lingshan Temple is beautiful, with green mountains and trees all year round, clouds and mists, and the changes in the cloud layer are dazzling and spectacular. After sunrise or sunset, the sunlight is like thousands of golden lights, like a myriad of rosy clouds, dyeing the white clouds in the sky colorful, and reflecting the Lingshan Temple golden, as if the entire Lingshan Temple is covered with gold gauze at that moment. Being in the morning clouds and evening fog of Lingshan Temple, listening to the morning bell and evening drum, stopping, you can unload the fatigue, and quietly appreciate the natural landscape of Lingshan Temple is a kind of healing. Main attractions: Changhai Monk Ling Pagoda, Gao Monk Practice Place, Huotanbao Tibetan Stone Carving, Benbo Teaching Stele, Moyu Sea, Jin Sea, Lian San Sea Parking: 10 yuan Tickets: 58 yuan for adults Scenic area shuttle bus round trip: 20 yuan per person (you can choose to walk or ride a horse up the mountain, 35 yuan for a single trip by horse, and a management fee of 2 yuan) Address: 20 kilometers east of the city of Mianning County, Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province

I accidentally watched a few episodes of "Bohai Alliance", which was attracted by the historical story of Liu Bocheng and Xiaoye Dan's blood. I didn't expect the China Self-driving Tournament to come to the place where the story happened - Suining. The Bohai Sea here is an important stop on the Red Army's Long March. The Xichang satellite launching base here is a place to go to the moon. The Yele Lake here is surrounded by the natural beauty of snow-capped mountains and meadows. Raise the resort.
