Everywhere is a view! I was amazed by my trip to Majiagou in November
Everywhere is a view! I was amazed by my trip to Majiagou in November. Before going, I chose between Songpinggou and Majiagou, and finally chose Majiagou. I didn't expect everything to be perfect! Although some parts are like Bipenggou, the valley is much wider when you climb up, and it's not inferior to the big view, really few people and beautiful scenery!
Time: November 2-3, 2023
Number of people: 2
Travel mode: Self-driving
One-way duration: 5 and a half hours (excluding sightseeing time on the road)
Cost: 682 yuan (fuel and toll fees 368+ accommodation 109+ scenic spot 140+ meals 65)
We set off from Chengdu at 4 am and arrived at Majiagou at 12 noon. Detailed strategy as follows:
Scenic spot basic information:
Address: Navigate to "Aba Xiaojin County Majiagou Tourist Center"
Cost: Sanitation cleaning fee 30+ sightseeing car 30+ parking fee 20/vehicle
Altitude: 3700 meters (sightseeing car drop-off point)-3900 meters (Qumei Cuo, most people turn back at this high point)-4250 meters (Dawa Yongcuo (Moon Lake), a few advanced players turn back at this high point)
Tour time (one way, uphill all the way): 7 km road (sightseeing car) 15 minutes + 3.7 km wooden plank road 2 hours (to Qumei Cuo) + 1.8 km dirt road (Qumei Cuo to Moon Lake) 1 and a half hours
Tour and highlights:
Yi Ang Qu Cuo: The first sea you slowly ascend to. There are snow-capped mountains, colorful forests, wooden houses, meadows, swings, and the dead tree in the middle of the sea is very special
Majiagou Yun Cuo: A slightly steeper climb to the colorful pool. Surrounded by colorful forests, with snow-capped mountains behind
Qiong Ruo Cuo Mu: Steep continuous steps up, it will be very panting to climb up, but don't turn back, up is a very open pass, only to hear a "wow" sound, below is Qiong Ruo Cuo Mu wetland, the farther sea is Qumei Cuo, beautiful to incoherence
Qumei Cuo: Downhill through Qiong Ruo Cuo Mu, the wooden plank road becomes a stone road, the large sea in front of you is very beautiful, and there are swings!
Dogs can be brought, Qumei Cuo must turn back at 16 o'clock, and it takes 40 minutes to go down the mountain
Points to note:
1 Sun protection/clothing: The weather forecast for the day was cloudy to light rain, but it was actually sunny. It was colder and sunnier after entering the ditch. It is recommended to bring a hat and wear a thin down jacket/thick storm jacket that can be taken off
2 Food and beverage: There is no food provided in the tourist center and the scenic area (at least not when we went during the week), bring dry food to prevent hunger
Accommodation: There is no accommodation in the scenic area, we stayed in Shuanghekou Village, a few minutes drive
4 Travel: If you want to go to Moon Lake, be sure to arrive at the scenic spot early, otherwise there will not be enough time
5 Signal: There is no signal in the ditch, beware of drones falling and not being found
Complaints: Sightseeing car
1 Majiagou's current reception capacity is limited, there are only two sightseeing cars, which are older buses, with limited seats, and people have to wait to be full before they leave (can stand)
2 We arrived at 12 noon, and it was almost 13 o'clock before we set off into the ditch; the return trip was said to be the last bus at 17 o'clock, and it was not until 17:30 that we were sent out of the ditch
Going to Majiagou to see the colorful forest at the end of October and the beginning of November is very beautiful. If you miss it, you must go once next year. It is still relatively primitive. There were not many people when we went during the week, basically retired ladies and uncles. Those with average physical strength must go to Qumei Cuo!
Magagou is the first stop. The weather was good that day and there was a beautiful scenery. The overall scenery is similar to that of Bipenggou, but the development here is relatively late, and the number of tourists is relatively small, so it is not crowded when going. The most important thing is not where to go, but who to go with.
This scenic spot called Majiagou is really beautiful. The various scenery is very intoxicating. All tourists here have a feeling of walking into the paradise, because the scenic spot is really beautiful and indescribable.
The road conditions are extremely poor, the landslide mudslides fly over the stone... I advise everyone to choose carefully, from Chengdu to Majiagou, drive for 12 hours, and still without traffic jams... will not come again for the second time
After arriving at Majiagou, find a local inn to stay. I have been there 3 times, and in contrast, I still think Zhang Junzi Inn is the most suitable. It is a local simple farmhouse inn. The elderly are Tibetans. They are very kind to people. Don’t worry about being high. The accommodation is clean and cheap. The food is also very Tibetan. The green vegetables grown by my own family have to say a good word for them here, because when I lived there, There is no problem of worrying about the cost, and it is very comfortable to live and eat. You can find it on the map.
Majiagou, located in Daban Village, Lianghe Township, Xiaojin County, Aba Prefecture, Sichuan Province, is a secret place that has just begun to develop and is not known. There are few tourists, suitable for people who like to hike outdoors. To visit Majiagou, you must live in the Tibetan B&B in Goukou the night before. The price is not expensive. Breakfast and dinner are included. The next day, you will take the car to Goukou. The ticket is 20+ and the round-trip fare is 30. When I arrived at the guokou, I started to hike. First, it was a sandy road and a dirt road, but it was not difficult to walk. There was a boardwalk after a while. There were streams, lakes, forests and snowy mountains all the way. It was beautiful and quiet. There was no aunt and no bustling team. The altitude was 3100-3900 meters. It snowed a few days before I went. The weather was very good on the hike, but the snow was too deep in the second half, and I couldn't see the path. I could only turn back, so I only walked part of it. I heard that the Majiagou in autumn is the most beautiful.
The environment is very beautiful, it is a little cold, remember to wear more clothes if you want to go
Some people like to leave its beauty with pen and paper, and I like to record every moment with the camera, record every bit of life, and combine these into our wonderful life. Whether it is early morning or dusk, the coniferous forest is bathed in golden sunshine, shining like a classic Russian oil painting recreates the world.
