Sichuan - A Traveler's Paradise in Western Sichuan

Western Sichuan is the real traveler's paradise! 5-day tour guide The Qingming Festival, May Day, and summer vacation are approaching, where do you plan to go? When it comes to Sichuan, most people think of Chengdu without hesitation. To check in at Chunxi Road, to have a morning tea in the Wide and Narrow Alleys. But the real beauty of Sichuan is in Western Sichuan, this is the paradise for travelers. The summer snow mountains, grasslands, colorful flowers, streams and lakes, scattered cattle and sheep, forest hideaways, cultural landscapes, countless sceneries are overwhelmingly beautiful. Everyone should take the time to visit Western Sichuan, but it's inevitable to encounter some pitfalls when going out to play. Today, combining the strategy I made and some of my own travel insights about Western Sichuan, I hope to help those who are going to play there. Transportation: To go to Western Sichuan, you start from Chengdu. It is recommended for people from all places to arrive in Chengdu 1-2 days in advance to experience the local atmosphere. Depart at 6:00 am the next morning, pass through Tianquan Service Area, where you can check in at National Highway 318, and after a brief rest, arrive in Kangding at 11 am, then start on the S434 road. If you choose to drive yourself, it is recommended to use a powerful SUV, as many secret spots in Western Sichuan are inaccessible by sedan (you can join a pure play group, self-driving in Western Sichuan is very tiring). Some experiences of playing in Western Sichuan: 1⃣️ Prepare a 24-27 inch suitcase, and even in summer, be ready with a thick coat, the plateau wind is strong, and it really can cause a cold. 2⃣️ The area is at high altitude, almost everyone experiences altitude sickness, it's better to prepare oxygen bottles in advance, they cost 30 yuan each locally, which is a bit expensive. 3⃣️ Rhodiola doesn't really work, just eat less, drink more water, and don't exercise vigorously, don't get too excited when you see beautiful scenery. 4⃣️ It's not recommended to wash your hair or take a bath for the first 3 days on the plateau, if you catch a cold, you basically can't play. 5⃣️ The signal is very poor, Mobile is slightly better, the other two are basically 'out of reach'. 6⃣️ Prepare some change, many scenic spots charge a cleaning fee, not an entrance fee. 7⃣️ You basically can't see marmots from April to June, if you want to see them, it's recommended to go in July and August. 8⃣️ It's not recommended to buy beef jerky on the roadside, nor the barbecue, we tried a few times and got diarrhea every time. 9⃣️ Western Sichuan turns green around the end of May, if you go in April, you can only see withered yellow, but the scenery is still very nice. 🔟 For Seda, you currently need to book tickets 3 days in advance, and locally you can only book for the next day, so don't make a wasted trip. 1⃣️1⃣️ During the peak season, you must book hotels 3-5 days in advance, otherwise, you can only stay in Tibetan homestays (which only have electric blankets). 【Share a 5-day tour itinerary】 1: Chengdu - Airport Road - Gedelaram/Yuzixi - Xinduqiao 2: Along Jia Genba - Moon Lake - Xinduqiao 3: Xinduqiao - Seda Buddhist College - Stay in Seda County 4: Seda - Jinchuan - Guanyin Bridge - Danba 5: Danba - Shuangqiao Valley of the Four Girls Mountain - Balang Mountain - Chengdu

It was early in the morning, starting from Jinchuan Guanyin Temple Jinchuan Guanyin Temple, also known as the second Potala Palace the beginning of the mountain, it was amazing by the road scenery, the same car people have been feeling This mountain is infinitely good.

March 15, 2024, Chengdu to Jinchuan

This morning at 8:30, we set off from Chenggao on a camping RV, taking the highway to Ma'erkang. Along the way, we could see many rapeseed flowers in full bloom, filled with the air of spring. After a long journey, we arrived in Jinchuan. According to the local residents, in three more days, it will be the best time to photograph the pear blossoms. The special thing about this trip is that we rented a camping RV, which means we both eat and sleep on the vehicle. Cooking on the vehicle is different from at home, but the most important thing is that we can enjoy our own taste. The Pear Blossom Avenue in Jinchuan is also very lively at night, and the night view of Jinchuan county is pretty good.

Generally, in one month, this year, pear blossoms are expected to end in the Ching Ming Festival. Everyone must go early! 3) When Jinchuan is in the peak season, accommodation must be fixed in advance!

The road from Danba to Jinchuan is more difficult to walk, not only the 18th bend of the mountain road, but most of them are pits and pits, and the bumps are like sitting on the cradles, but fortunately our driver Chen Ge drives. The technology is great. After the Onda, the road began to flatten, and a few groundhogs and monkeys were pulled out from time to time outside the window. All the way to the groundhog and the monkey became the biggest fun we have on the road today.

Let's go to the Guanyin Temple in Jinchuan to pray for wealth

Today, I mainly introduce the Guanyin Bridge Scenic Area. The Guanyin Bridge Scenic Area is located in the hinterland of the northwestern plateau of Sichuan on the southeastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It is a combination of plateau grassland and highland mountains. It is located in Jinchuan County, Aba Prefecture, Sichuan Province, including Guanyin Bridge Town, Akeli Township, Maori Township, Taiyanghe Township, etc., one town and six townships, with a total area of up to, and an altitude of 2500 to 5300 meters. There is a Guanyin Temple in Guanyin Town. The Guanyin Temple is named after the four-armed Guanyin enshrined in the temple. It has a history of more than 1300 years and now covers an area of nearly 30,000 square meters. The Guanyin Temple also enshrines the Lotus Born Master, Amitayus Buddha, Amitabha Buddha, God of Wealth, Lama Sman Chorten, and the footprints of Xiangba Living Buddha. We have traveled thousands of miles to come here. It happened to be the 19th day of the sixth lunar month when we went. It was the day when Guanyin Bodhisattva became enlightened. It can be seen that we are all sincere people! It is said that Princess Miaoshan became enlightened and proved the fruit on the 19th day of the sixth lunar month, and now shows the appearance of the Thousand-Handed Thousand-Eyed Guanyin Bodhisattva. Therefore, later generations set this day as the day when Guanyin Bodhisattva became enlightened. The common people believe that chanting Buddha, chanting sutras, chanting mantras, and releasing life on the day when Guanyin Bodhisattva became enlightened are particularly auspicious and have great merit.

Compared to Hongcun, I prefer the autumn scenery of this small town in southern Anhui

As we enter November, southern Anhui has reached its most beautiful autumn season. Everyone is looking for a suitable place to enjoy the autumn. Compared to the crowded Wuyuan and Hongcun, I prefer this small town in southern Anhui with fewer people and beautiful scenery. ✔ Direct high-speed rail ✔ Enjoy autumn and hot springs 🌈Practical information Location: Yongquan Town, Tongling 🚗Transportation: Self-driving from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai for 1-3 hours, free parking for accommodation after getting off the highway 🚅High-speed rail: 'Tongling North Station' taxi 10min, free pick-up and drop-off for guests staying at the North Station; 'Tongling Station' taxi 30min~ 🌈2-day 1-night tour guide Remember Jiangnan 12 Scenery☞Jiubao Hot Spring☞Jiangnan Snack Street☞Hot Spring Hotel☞Town Walk 1 Remember Jiangnan 12 Scenery Walking up the valley, babbling streams, ancient tree corridors, as if walking into a paradise.
