Tianquan Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Laba River Park, Erlangshan National Park Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Around Chengdu!! I found the autumn secret land in Van Gogh's oil painting
''Autumn is the dusk bitten by the universe''
·
Autumn is really a gentle and healing season
Without the heat of summer, without the cold of winter
The forest is dyed with layers of leaves🍂
The fallen leaves are the best background board🍁
Looking around, the whole forest has become gentle
Just hit the horn river and autumn full
·
I didn't expect the autumn of the horn river to be beautiful as a painting🖼️
The colorful forest all over the mountains and plains🌳 is so beautiful
The moment I met the little deer🦌
I deeply believe that I am in a fairy tale world
Quietly walked into its side and took a photo with it📷
I took a life photo belonging to late autumn
Walk up along the hiking route of the scenic spot🚶
Insects chirping, birds singing, river accompaniment🎵
Walk and enjoy the autumn scenery along the way
·
Take the cloud cable car
Go to the top of the mountain to see a perfect sunrise🌅
If you're lucky, you can see the red panda🐼
·
In the next month
The horn river will be a grand late autumn🍂
Friends who like hiking🧑🤝🧑 must not miss it😭
Driving from Chengdu for 3 hours, it's worth it!!!
Really feels like accidentally wandering into a fairyland🏝️
The original and secluded forest is super photogenic
🌲Along the way, the forest streams, monkeys, and deer completely avoid the hustle and bustle of the city, immersing oneself in the green world where the vast trees nourish the lush and moist moss, it feels like walking into a misty forest...

💰Ticket price: Online purchase available for 83 yuan (including 50 for the scenic area + 35 for the sightseeing bus) Tickets for the same day can be purchased before 4 PM. (Free parking❗)
🌟Highlights: ① Red Stone Beach: 5 stars
A 20-minute walk allows you to see the beautiful spectacle like an oil painting. The orange-red stones spread along the stream to the foot of the mountain, and the entire valley is endowed with orange-red by nature, which I think is probably the fairy tale world of autumn. The color brightness is super high, very photogenic.
② Panda Plank Road, also known as Niu Jinggou Plank Road, is located in the original forest at an altitude of 2600 meters, with a total length of 4.5 kilometers. This place is like a cold forest with few people and tranquility, a rare summer retreat, and a blessing for hikers. Strolling here, you may also encounter red pandas and antelopes. Although we only met a monkey family of more than 20.
③ Deer Pool can be reached in just a few minutes by sightseeing car, and it is one of the must-visit attractions. Deer Pool is not big, but the reflections of pedestrians on the shore, arch bridges, and trees in the water are clear, like a mirror, very photogenic. It is said that this is a place with a lot of sika deer.
④ Forest hiking
This is on the right side of the scenic area, where you can see the sunrise at around 6 AM
. Following the stream upwards, there are many wooden suspension bridges, and the lush trees are distributed along the river, really very much like Mount Siguniang

📌Little Tips: It is recommended to play for two days, walk slowly in the forest, and accompany the deer.
🐶Pets: This is a pet-friendly scenic area! But dogs can't go on the cable car, and you need to arrange with the driver in advance for the sightseeing bus.
🐯Animals: Be sure to keep a safe distance from wild animals, protect the animals and also protect yourself (there are really a lot of monkeys in Laba River, it is recommended to carry a stick for self-defense)

🛥️Sea of clouds: You can ask the staff of the scenic area if you can see the sea of clouds, so as not to make a wasted trip.
The place that seems crazily foreign is actually the primitive forest of Sichuan
There really is a beauty that feels like mistakenly wandering into a fairyland.
The secretive forest in its primitive state is super photogenic.
Along the way, there are forest streams, S monkeys, and little deer.
Completely away from the urban noise, you are immersed in a green world.
The vast and lush trees nourish the verdant and moist moss.
It feels like walking into a forest shrouded in mist.

Love at first second! After the snow, Laba River is like a fairy tale world!
🕉 As the colorful forests in the mountains gradually fade away, the winter of Laba River finally arrives‼️
🕎 The snowflakes that originally only covered the mountains begin to visit the mid-mountain, and the white color that turns from thick to light slowly spreads across the valley, unfolding a freehand ink painting of early winter in Laba River.
🏔 A sky full of silver, wrapped in silver❄️
Pure white snow adorns everything, creating a tranquil and lush world between heaven and earth
The winter of Laba River, beautiful in a thousand ways
As wonderful as a fairy tale, as dreamy as a fantasy land
📍Address: Erlang Mountain Laba River Scenic Area
🚗Self-drive: About 2.5-3 hours from Chengdu
🎫Ticket: 50/person, sightseeing car 35/person, cable car 70/person
❄️Itinerary:

📷Photo Strategy:
Sunrise and Sea of Clouds
Take the cable car to the Jiaoshan viewing platform over 3700 meters above sea level to see the sea of clouds. There is a high chance of encountering the sea of clouds in winter, which is really beautiful and spectacular.
Snow Scenery and Rime
The branches on the slopes are all covered with rime, a vast expanse of white, making one feel as if they have entered a snowy fairy tale world.
30°N Square
This is a playground for children to play with snow, a super large square for kids to have fun, and there is a very cute named Hug Hug Coffee☕️ on the second floor. Drinking a warm cup of coffee on a snowy day is really too comfortable.
Deer Pool
The water of Deer Pool is still emerald green in winter, adding a touch of color to the surrounding white scenery, and the snow scenery along the way to the lake is also really beautiful.
Encounter with Wild Animals
Walking into the primeval forest, you may encounter various wild animals such as water deer, Tibetan macaques (please do not feed), golden monkeys🐒, red pandas, etc., appearing in the forest from time to time!
🏠Accommodation Options:
There are Blue Crystal and Deer Ming hotels in the scenic area, both with good facilities. This time we stayed in the family room of Blue Crystal, where you can see Ye Zhou Island and the waterfall scenery from the balcony, with a broad view, and both adults and children liked it very much.
‼️Travel Tips:
⭐️Wild monkeys can be seen everywhere in the scenic area, do not open your backpack in front of monkeys, close the windows and doors when getting out of the car, and it's best to carry a wheel with you.
✨It's quite cold on the mountain and there's a lot of snow, so it's recommended to wear anti-slip snow boots, gloves, hats, and scarves to avoid getting cold.
🌟The phone battery drains very quickly in cold weather, so remember to bring a power bank so you can keep taking beautiful photos.
✳️Be sure to bring snow play tools for the children, as there are none for sale on the mountain.
Every time you visit the autumn of Laba River, you will cry
This time we took the kids to Laba River, which is 3 hours away from Chengdu. Here we found a beautiful parent-child hiking route. The whole wooden plank road is very easy to walk. With the arrival of autumn, the scenery along the way has become very beautiful. You will pass through forests, streams, suspension bridges, lakes, waterfalls, etc., and have the chance to meet deer and monkeys. It's really suitable for bringing children to play👍

🚗Self-driving: It takes about 3 hours to reach Chengdu, and the whole journey is very easy to drive on the highway.
🌟🌟🌟Travel strategy:

Now is the best time to watch red leaves. The whole forest is dyed with layers of colors. You can take your children to experience the route from Hetao Ping to Blue Crystal Waterfall. The whole 3.7 kilometers of wooden plank road is very easy, and the scenery along the way is beautiful, just like walking into a painting.

Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Travel Accommodation | Vienna actually has a sub-brand called "3 Good Hotels"
🚗 A less-known travel destination in Sichuan - Tianquan County, Ya'an
🙋 As a transit point to the Sichuan-Tibet Highway, you can also visit the not-too-distant Erlang Mountain Laba River
🍃 Tianquan County itself, as a red tourism destination, is worth staying for a night
🏨 There aren't many hotels in Tianquan County, so I randomly booked one
【Vienna 3 Good Hotel】
🤣 At first, I thought it was fake, but it turned out to be a real sub-brand of Vienna, just the name has a strong knockoff vibe
📍 No. 40, Kunpeng Road, Chengxiang Town, Tianquan County
💰 The average cost per person is not over a hundred in the off-season
🍃 The front desk service is quite nice, and the environment is not much different from other Vienna hotels, just slightly inferior
🛏️ But the bed is really comfortable~ Very simple and relieves the fatigue of the journey
🙋 When traveling, as long as you can achieve cleanliness, hygiene, comfort, and good service, you've got most of it covered
😄 The experience is really good 😌 Staying here when visiting Tianquan County won't be a disappointment
Labahe Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
One-day tour of Erlang Mountain and Laba River
During the double festival holiday, it's crowded😊, to avoid the congestion, we chose the less popular "Erlang Mountain Laba River Scenic Area", to take the elderly and children for a stroll✌
Get up at 7 o'clock, wash and eat
Depart from "Xi Wang International Hotel" in Ya'an Yucheng District at 8 o'clock, along the North Outer Ring Line-Qingbi Mountain Tunnel-Xikang Bridge Toll Station-Yaye Expressway-Hu Nie Line-After several tunnels (Hongchunping, Redwood, Hongmulin, Ying Shan Hong, Wanjiafu Tunnel),
Arrived at the entrance of Laba River Scenic Area at 9:10. Tickets booked online, follow the guide to the right, turn from the 3rd and 4th parking lots, come to the ticket check point, there are staff responsible for ticket verification, then turn right and enter the scenic area, drive all the way to the visitor center (about 14km, there will be monkeys along the way🐒, pay attention to the speed🚦)
Park the car in the visitor center parking lot, you can take the sightseeing car (need to buy a separate ticket, 35 yuan/person) to the deer pool and Jiaoshan direction.
It is recommended to go this line first, because there will be more people later, you need to wait.
The sightseeing car will drive directly to the cable car station, without stopping in the middle. At that time, everyone can choose to take the cable car (the cable car needs to buy a separate ticket) to Jiaoshan. Everyone can also take the downhill sightseeing car or walk downhill. When you arrive at the scenic spot, the master will remind everyone to get off the car and play. When you return to the roadside, you can take the car.
We chose to walk to the jungle crossing (3km distance, walked for more than 40 minutes, and saw wild deer during the period😉), then took the car to the deer pool, the children played on the grass for a while, and also fed some fruits to the wild monkeys😁. Then take the sightseeing car back to the visitor center again.
At 12 o'clock, lunch was solved in the snack bar of the visitor center. I recommend beef miscellaneous soup powder👍 (28 yuan/serving), it is originally clear soup, the taste is right, of course, put some coriander, millet spicy taste is more refreshing😄
After lunch, drive to the right line, towards the "Blue Crystal Hotel" direction, all the way there are waterfalls, monkeys. (It is recommended to drive to the Blue Crystal, then play from top to bottom, and then return along the way😊
Clothing: The scenic area is located in Tianquan County, Ya'an City. The scenic area is cooler than Ya'an Yucheng District. Pay attention to suitable clothing.
Ride: The scenic area is Y-shaped, similar to Jiuzhaigou😊. The left line cannot be self-driving, it is recommended to take the sightseeing car to the top, walking uphill is too tired; the right line can be self-driving
Cost: The ticket is 50 yuan/person for adults, half price for locals in Ya'an, children, 60-64 year olds, free for those over 65
Sightseeing car, 35 yuan/person
Cable car, 110 yuan/person
