The service at Yipeng Hotel 🏨 was so impressive that I can't help but give it a big thumbs up! The most scenic Ningguo section of Southern Anhui's Chuanzang Line - Yipeng Hotel (Nanling Zhanghe Ecological Park Branch) From the moment I made the reservation, the excellent service journey began.

The buffet was so abundant it was dazzling, featuring authentic local snacks alongside Western-style bread and milk - every item was incredibly delicious. Additionally, the hotel offers late-night snacks, truly a blessing for foodies😜.

Driving along the winding road, with steep cliffs on one side and deep precipices on the other, is both thrilling and awe-inspiring. Venturing further, the "Six Bends" of Taoling Highway are astonishing. Viewed from above, the road resembles a giant dragon coiling through the mountains, with one curve after another - each turn full of challenges and surprises. Along both sides, wildflowers bloom across the mountains in red, yellow, purple - a riot of colors complementing the green forests, creating a stunning natural panorama. Every scene along Southern Anhui's Chuanzang Line makes perfect photo backdrop. The dramatic landscapes of Tauling Highway can make your photos tell stories effortlessly. Wearing a flowing dress standing on the mountain road with endless green peaks and blue skies behind you - every shot looks like a fashion spread; or sitting under the eaves of Hui-style architecture with sunlight filtering through carved window lattices - the photos exude classical charm. At Yipeng Hotel, experience warmth like home; on Southern Anhui's Chuanzang Line, encounter nature's breathtaking beauty. Here is the resting place for your soul, the poetic harbor of your journey.

The Shijiu Line is an off-road self-driving route from Shimian to Jiulong. It starts from the primeval forest on the edge of the Sichuan Basin and gradually climbs to the snow-covered Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Along the way, there are mountains, canyons, forests, grasslands, pastures, lakes, rivers, waterfalls, and snow-capped mountains. In other words, in just one day, you can see all types of landforms in western Sichuan on this crossing route, and even directly see the King of Sichuan Mountains, Gongga Snow Mountain (south slope). If the starting point is not set in Shimian County, the total length of Shijiu Line will be less than 150km. We checked into Hongba Township, Jiulong County one day in advance. If you can accept camping, you can continue driving 10km to reach an unnamed lake. The terrain here is flat and the environment is beautiful, and many people choose to camp here.
