Who says Bipenggou is a little Switzerland in western Sichuan? I disagree!
The world is so beautiful, only if you have seen it with your own eyes
Who says Bipenggou is a little Switzerland in western Sichuan?
It's much more beautiful than Switzerland!
The sky of the plateau is like a child's face, today it gave us a big smile all the way. It was still winter when we went up the mountain, the higher we went, the less clear we could see, the ice and snow on both sides of the road had not melted, making people mistakenly enter the foggy forest of the ice and snow wonderland.
But as soon as we arrived at Shanghai Zi, the sun began to show its face, gradually the veil of the snow mountain faded away, when we got to Panyang Lake, the sun was no longer shy, shining generously on the lake.
The ice is clear and transparent, the snow is heavy on the pine, the jade lake is reflected... It's so beautiful that it's breathtaking, even my parents who don't like to travel feel it's worth the trip, this world is worth it, the fairyland is nothing more than this.
When we descended from Swallow Rock and returned to Panyang Lake, the scene was no longer there, and it had returned to the foggy state. So the good scenery in this world never waits for anyone, it requires a bit of good luck, and also a bit of courage to go out.
When we returned to Shanghai Zi and took the sightseeing car down the mountain, the snow on the side of the road had melted, winter had turned into autumn, colorful and dazzling. Don't say that the scenery is different in a few days, even in a few moments it's a world of difference.
Go, while you can!

🍽️Recommended food in Western Sichuan:
✔️Yak meat: A specialty of Western Sichuan, it tastes good with dry dishes!!
✔️Sausage: It's different from the sausage I usually eat. It's a bit spicy. If you're not afraid of spicy, you can try it
✔️Hand-grabbed lamb: It's also spicy, but it's delicious
✔️Butter cake: Also a specialty of Western Sichuan. This store's butter cake has a bit of milk flavor, but I have eaten another store's butter cake. It's greasy and there's something inside. It's like the cake I usually eat at a small stall. I feel this store's butter cake is more authentic

Panyang Lake Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Who says Bipenggou is a little Switzerland in western Sichuan? I disagree!
The world is so beautiful, only if you have seen it with your own eyes
Who says Bipenggou is a little Switzerland in western Sichuan?
It's much more beautiful than Switzerland!
The sky of the plateau is like a child's face, today it gave us a big smile all the way. It was still winter when we went up the mountain, the higher we went, the less clear we could see, the ice and snow on both sides of the road had not melted, making people mistakenly enter the foggy forest of the ice and snow wonderland.
But as soon as we arrived at Shanghai Zi, the sun began to show its face, gradually the veil of the snow mountain faded away, when we got to Panyang Lake, the sun was no longer shy, shining generously on the lake.
The ice is clear and transparent, the snow is heavy on the pine, the jade lake is reflected... It's so beautiful that it's breathtaking, even my parents who don't like to travel feel it's worth the trip, this world is worth it, the fairyland is nothing more than this.
When we descended from Swallow Rock and returned to Panyang Lake, the scene was no longer there, and it had returned to the foggy state. So the good scenery in this world never waits for anyone, it requires a bit of good luck, and also a bit of courage to go out.
When we returned to Shanghai Zi and took the sightseeing car down the mountain, the snow on the side of the road had melted, winter had turned into autumn, colorful and dazzling. Don't say that the scenery is different in a few days, even in a few moments it's a world of difference.
Go, while you can!

Liangtai Gully Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
A hidden paradise in Western Sichuan!
Many people know about Bipenggou, but few know about Liangtaigou, which is a sister valley to Bipenggou and a very beautiful place. Here, there are snow-capped mountains, forests, meadows, streams, and especially the grand red stone beach, acclaimed as a hidden paradise in Western Sichuan!
It's definitely a free treasure spot, with advantages: 1. A 3.5-hour drive from Chengdu; 2. The road is fully paved; 3. The altitude is not high, suitable for family trips; 4. Closer to the snow mountains than most paid scenic spots; 5. Currently, there are fewer people, it's not crowded, great for photography, and even a smartphone can capture stunning shots.

And it's free and less crowded, without the hustle and bustle of commercial atmosphere, it's completely in its original state, with snow-covered mountains and colorful forests, different scenery in spring, summer, autumn and winter, looking far away as if you are in the Rocky Mountains of Canada, winter is even more beautiful like a fairyland.

The beautiful blue ice pours down, and under the guidance of the coach, you can experience the adventure of ice climbing.
The development of ice waterfalls in Liangtaigou is very good, ice climbing enthusiasts rate its experience as not inferior to Shuangqiaogou, there are 7 ice waterfall gullies here, with different difficulties and rich routes, professional guidance is required for the experience.
This Spring Festival, going to the less crowded and beautiful Liangtaigou is a good choice.
Tips: Liangtaigou is 210 kilometers away from Chengdu and 36 kilometers away from Li County, near the Bipenggou scenic spot. It takes 3 hours to get to Liangtaigou from the Chadianzi Passenger Station in Chengdu (Duwen Expressway, Rongchang Expressway).

Liangtaigou Travel Guide
Travel information:
1. Navigate to Lixian Daliangwan Shed, about 4 hours from Chengdu, all asphalt road, no pressure for cars, friends who come recently can also eat Yin Peach in Lixian, you will find that the villages along the way are all Yin Peach trees that seem to be picked by hand
2. Liangtaigou is very niche, there are no supply points here, so be sure to prepare dry food, and take away your own garbage, compared to Lixian, the altitude here rises all the way, don't be too excited and jump around when you first see the snow mountain, to prevent altitude sickness
📸Photo suggestions:
1. There are almost no cars here, so beauties can find straight or winding S roads to take photos of the snow-capped mountains on the road, but also pay attention to safety
2. There are also some forest and stream light outdoors here, which are also suitable for shooting
3. Find suitable props, every time I am photographed, I don't know what pose to pose, I often take down the suitcase on the car as a prop, it feels very suitable for the road photo of this moment, I often bring is the love cola suitcase, the value is very high, I like its front side cover design, it is convenient for me to find the things I need to use in time, I usually bring it with me when I come out for a short time
4. Don't forget to look back on the way to the snow mountain, the scenery here will not disappoint you
Rather than the Four Girls Mountain, I love this undeveloped secret place more~
This super beautiful snow mountain road has been opened this year~
If you don't want to be crowded when traveling, come to this niche secret place.
It is located in the deep secret place next to Bipenggou.
Here are snow mountains, meadows, cattle and sheep, streams, waterfalls...
You can camp, you can also hike, and the scenery is good with few people~
