Sichuan West | If there is a road that must be taken in this life, 318 must be among them

This is the route I took for the National Day holiday, avoiding the statutory holiday, and set off 2 days in advance to tour the Sichuan West Ring Line. Departing from Chengdu, passing through Yuzixi, Daocheng Yading, Seda, Siguniang Mountain, Moshishi Park and other classic scenic spots in Sichuan West. Accommodation 🏠 The accommodation along the way is relatively convenient, the accommodation conditions are general, there are not many people coming and going, and most places have a town center where you can stay nearby. Eating 🍚 There are relatively more Tibetan meals and Sichuan cuisine along the way, and the local special meals and soup pots taste pretty good. Confirm the price before placing an order~ 🙏Seda, a place where there is no lack of faith in hypoxia 🏔️Daocheng, if there is a place that must go with the person you like, it must be Daocheng Yading 🌋Yuzixi, snow-capped mountains, sunset clouds, and midnight star sea are all worth your rush 🌍Moshishi Park, the exotic planet of Sichuan West, as if stepping into another time and space ⛰️Siguniang Mountain, besides Xinjiang, I saw snow-capped mountains, forests, grasslands and streams here Precautions 📕 ⚠️For the first time on the plateau, don't drink and eat, don't drink alcohol, don't exercise vigorously, and rest more. ⚠️You can drink more hot water or prepare glucose water to drink, try not to drink cold raw water. ⚠️Don't wash your hair and take a bath in the first two days to prevent colds, colds, and fever from causing high anti. ⚠️You can bring more fruits, snacks, glucose, and chocolate in the car. ⚠️Try not to rely too much on oxygen, panting and rapid heartbeat are normal, just rest and walk. ⚠️If your body is extremely uncomfortable, contact the local rescue station/hospital in time, don't take medicine by yourself.

Grassland Horseriding in Garze (Sichuan)

Garze or Kandze in West Sichuan is an autonomous region with many minorities. It's part of the Tibet-Qinghai plateau and you can see grasslands and mountains. 🏔️🐎 I recommend to go there by car, because public transport is quite difficult, although it's possible. Booking a tour would be an alternative option, in case you don't have the Chinese driver license. 🏷️ Price: 30-200 RMB, depending on the length and location. 📍There are hundreds of local horse riding spots, very nice view and enough hotels and restaurants nearby you get in the Xin-Du-Qiao area. #sichuan #horseriding #tibetanculture #china

Since embarking on the road of Tibetan areas, I have followed the senior friends all the way, and today I arrived at a well-known stockade, Jiaju Zhaizhai (Aju, meaning Tibetan means 100 households. There are 141 households in this Tibetan village. They climbed up from the Dajinchuan River valley and stretched to the foot of the Kapama group. The whole village is swaying in the rolling hills, with a relative height difference of nearly 1,000 meters. On the hillside, a Tibetan-style Zhailou is dotted among the green trees. The wooden frame parts and eaves of the residential area are red. The walls above the second floor are painted white or the walls are white and white. The shape of the building is like a devout Buddhist. The cross-legged figure is in the position of the Chinese National Geographic magazine in 2005. The Damba Tibetan Village represented by Jiaju Zangzhai is rated as the most beautiful six ancient towns in China. After the first, "Jiaju Zhaizhai" occupies the headlines of all kinds of self-driving routes of various media in almost every year, every month, there are different kinds of beautiful, red eaves, simple folk style! Sing a folk song I can catch up with the flock for a whole day! This is my longing for life!

To see pear blossoms in early spring, one must go to —— Danba

Danba is known as the Valley of Beauty, the Land of a Thousand Watchtowers, the site of the Eastern Women's Kingdom, and has been named China's most beautiful village by 'Chinese National Geography'. In early spring, Danba is covered with pear blossoms. The Tibetan villages and watchtowers complement them, creating a unique charm. Located at the junction of Garzê and Ngawa —— it's easily accessible. The county town is at an altitude of 1800 meters —— no need to worry about altitude sickness. Five rivers converge here —— there must be extraordinary landscapes. 🌸 Best season for pear blossoms Mid-March to early April (the pear blossoms in Danba are mainly concentrated in Zhonglu and Jiaju) 🚖 Transportation 1. 🚗 Self-driving: There are two routes from Chengdu to Danba County. (1) About 340 kilometers from Chengdu via Siguniangshan Town to Danba County. (2) About 370 kilometers from Chengdu via Ya'an, Luding, and Wasi Gully to Danba County. 2. 🚌 Bus: The Chadianzi Bus Station has a bus to Danba at 10:30 every day (an extra bus is added on holidays); if you miss this bus, you can first go to Kangding (Xinnanmen Bus Station) or Xiaojin (Chadianzi Bus Station) and then transfer to Danba. Kangding has six buses every day (the latest at 18:00); the bus from Xiaojin to Danba is rural transport (no fixed time, safer before 17:00). 🛏 Accommodation Danba County: There are many accommodation options, concentrated near the bus station and on Sanchahe South Road. Zhonglu and Jiaju have many options: In Zhonglu, it is recommended to stay near the Zhonglu Township Government or in the Jikayi Village area; in Jiaju Tibetan Village, it is recommended to stay near Jiaju Primary School. 🏜 Attractions 1. Jiaju Tibetan Village (about 2000 meters above sea level, entrance fee 45 yuan, sightseeing car 40 yuan round trip, self-driving cars can enter if staying in the scenic area): The most beautiful part of Jiaju Tibetan Village is near Niega Primary School. 2.

In just over 10 days, traveling to Western Sichuan in March is something you absolutely can't miss

March in Western Sichuan, I recommend everyone not to miss the pear blossoms in Jinchuan, a 3-day trip is feasible. Itinerary Day 1: Chengdu - Danba - Zhonglu Tibetan Village (recommended to stay inside the village) Day 2: Zhonglu Tibetan Village - Jiaju Tibetan Village - Jinchuan (stay in Jinchuan, the whole journey is filled with pear blossoms) Day 3: Jinchuan - Ma'erkang - Chengdu Attractions Zhonglu Tibetan Village: Located in Niexia Township, Danba County, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, it's less famous than Jiaju but I find it more pristine. The village is full of Tibetan friends who are very friendly and will greet you actively. You can drive into the village, but be careful as there are many bends. Pear blossoms, Tibetan villages, and highland barley fields are all super photogenic, waiting for a sunrise🌅sunset🌄 Jinchuan Pear Blossoms: The blooming period is from mid-March to the end of March, lasting just half a month. From Zhonglu Tibetan Village to Jinchuan, you will see pear blossoms in the river valley along the way. Of course, the most famous spot is in Jinchuan's 'Fairy Pack' (as shown in picture two). You must get there early in the morning, drive up, and there's a special viewing platform. Wait for the sun to rise, and capture it along with the smoke from the local Tibetans' fires, it's absolutely fantastic! Notes Hotels: In Zhonglu Tibetan Village, homestays are the main accommodations with varying prices. Everyone can choose according to their preferences. Hotels in Jinchuan are more expensive, so book in advance. Altitude: There are no places along the entire route that cause altitude sickness discomfort, with the highest altitude being around 2200 meters. Altitude sickness usually occurs above 3000 meters. Clothing: Remember, friends, when traveling to Western Sichuan, no matter what month you go, definitely bring a down jacket. The weather in Western Sichuan changes a lot, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is significant. Bringing it is the right choice. For those who like to take photos, bring your beautiful dresses. Road conditions for self-driving: The entire route is in good condition, even for sedans, with mostly highways➕asphalt roads.

1. Go ice skating on various lakes, such as the wild horse sea of Zhe Duo Mountain, the Sting Lake of Kangding Airport, the Lake of Black Stone City, the seven mountains and seven lakes of Tagong Grassland, it's really great! 2. If you want to see the golden sunshine on the snow-capped mountains, many places have been closed due to the snow. There are actually several peaks around Xindu Bridge that you can go to, such as Yuzi West, Gedilam, Mannuka, and the newly built Ze Ren Beng Zeng. It's only about an hour's drive from Xindu Bridge, and cars can reach directly. For those who want to go, it hasn't started snowing there yet, set off quickly~ Xindu Bridge
