There is a homestay on the hillside of Gulong Village where you can see the sunrise over the golden mountain. Homestay: Gulong Village•Gangri Dawa • A homestay full of sunshine and sunset, at an altitude of 3850, the sunset is extremely beautiful. • My favorite homestay on the small loop of Western Sichuan, the atmosphere is very good, I met a group of interesting friends, everyone comes from different places, eating together, singing together, chatting together, here I felt the meaning of the homestay. • Quiet, isolated from the world, beautiful scenery, vacation, travel, are all synonyms for this homestay. • A homestay where you can see the snow mountain lying on the bed, will miss.

Little bridges, streams, and meadows—Western Sichuan is truly a fairyland from a storybook

Little bridges, streams, and meadows—Western Sichuan is truly a fairyland from a storybook

Western Sichuan is a place you could visit ten thousand times and never tire of! I recently discovered another incredibly beautiful village! It has little bridges, meadows, streams, and even snow-capped mountains🏔 And it's free to enter, making it perfect for camping and hiking. 🍃Songdun Niji This is a homestay in Jiagenba, with large floor-to-ceiling windows offering stunning views. You can also enjoy afternoon tea by the stream. The yard has a small wooden bridge and pine trees🌲, with cows and sheep grazing nearby, which is super healing. 🏔Sky Snow Mountain Navigate to 'Xueyin Pavilion' and turn right to go up the mountain. A 7-kilometer, roughly 20-minute mountain drive will reveal the beauty of Xinjiang! A vast forest of fir trees, and the Gongga Snow Mountain! Absolutely breathtaking! Only off-road vehicles can go up, or you can take a local's car for a reasonable fee. The mountain is also great for hiking, with a 4.5km distance from the parking lot to the mountain top. 🍃Rize Village This village is truly too beautiful! Along the stream, there are meadows, forests, and gesang flowers, with small wooden bridges at intervals. It must be even more beautiful in autumn! 🏔Eyi Village A small village under the snow mountain, with the Lamu Snow Mountain above the Tibetan houses. Navigate to Eyi Village, located at the foot of Gedelamu Mountain. The houses under the snow mountain are too romantic. 🍃Jiagenba Town A 40-minute self-drive from Xinduqiao to Jiagenba, the route is lined with meadows, forests, and streams. The green barley on both sides has turned yellow, and there are many cows and sheep along the road. Many people camp by the stream without any fees. 🏔3-Day Snow Mountain Itinerary Recommendation 1. Chengdu-Kangding-S434-Honghaizi-Eyi Village-Xinduqiao 2. Xinduqiao-Jiagenba-Rize Village-Xinduqiao 3. Xinduqiao-Tagong-Gedelamu-Kangding-Chengdu The temperature difference between morning and evening in Western Sichuan is quite large recently, especially in the snow mountain villages. The temperature in Xinduqiao is about 10 degrees lower than in Kangding. I specifically wore a Columbia series jacket, which has a detachable design, especially suitable for my journey from town to the outdoors. Particularly, its strap design allows me to carry it on my back when I feel hot during the hike, convenient and lightweight. The jacket also has hook designs for hanging items like water bottles and sunglasses, freeing up my hands. The hat is also detachable. The professional waterproof fabric is not afraid of morning mist or a sudden light rain, keeping you dry. The golden dots on the inner lining can reflect body heat, keeping you warm while still being breathable! Western Sichuan Bamboo Sea Scenic Area

Kangding|Tagong Grassland

Kangding|Tagong Grassland

|Tagong Grassland.Kangding|Tagong Grassland Tagong Grassland was a place that brought me a great surprise on the second day of my trip to Western Sichuan. Perhaps because it is a free scenic spot, the tour guide only gave us thirty minutes to stay here. It's hard to imagine how beautiful the endless grassland of Tagong Grassland will be in summer. If I had enough time, I think I could stay here all day. I could run freely towards the hillside with the wind, and when I was tired, I could lie down on the grassland, looking at the endless blue sky and daydreaming is also a beautiful thing. If I feel bored, I can also play with the camera, trying to freeze the distant snow mountain with some quirky angles. The blue sky, white clouds, cattle, sheep, horse herders, ice lakes, snow mountains and lovers on the Tagong Grassland form a wonderful picture.
