Western Sichuan - A land untouched by civilization!

Western Sichuan is really too beautiful!!!! There's no need to leave Sichuan to enjoy a feast of snowy mountains. Compared to Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan, it's all very close. Sharing some lesser-known spots to view snowy mountains I hope you can also see such beautiful snowy mountains Se'erkaka Village This is a village under the snowy mountains. When I went there, the snow had almost melted. If you go in autumn or winter, it will definitely be more shocking! Navigate to Se'erkaka Village from Xinduqiao. When you're almost there, you'll pass through a village. It's about a 30-minute drive. Jiagenba The Oser Flower Sea, a fairy-tale paradise. Kangding Airport Road Both Highway 434 and 318 can get you there. It's recommended to park your car on the open plateau in front. This road is super beautiful, and you can see Mount Gongga all the way. The best photography spot is at the low position on Rainbow Road. Siding Lake At an altitude of 4200, it's recommended to take National Highway 434. You can drive directly to the foot of the snowy mountain. The photography spot is at the low position opposite the lake. It feels like you're standing right under Mount Gongga. There's a 10 yuan cleaning fee. Gunong Village Also a snowy mountain stream that can be reached by car🚗. You can see the full view of Yala Snow Mountain, with cattle and sheep all around, and the scenery is absolutely beautiful. This is a stunning spot to view Yala Snow Mountain. Yala Snow Mountain Scenic Area My favorite snowy mountain! Very few people go to Yala. I've been there three times and it was almost deserted each time. This place is super close to the snowy mountain, with beautiful streams, and you can camp here. Waiting for the sunset on the golden mountain here is super romantic. Siye Yala Near Se'erkaka Village, there are also streams and meadows, and you can see Yala Snow Mountain up close. Compared to Gunong Village, it's basically deserted, and camping is free. Balang Shengdu The altitude is 4300. This place is very close to Yala Snow Mountain, and you can also see the full view of Mount Gongga. It's more off the beaten path than Yuzixi, with very few people. You can see both Gongga and Yala, about 20 kilometers in front of Gunong Village. Yala Snow Mountain Camping Base Streams, meadows, and a day under the snowy mountain - it's too romantic. Gaersi Mountain Heishi City At an altitude of 4300, when I first saw the full view of Mount Gongga, I was stunned. This was the closest I've ever been to Gongga! Heishi City is a must-visit in this lifetime. You need a car with strong off-road capabilities. ❄️Snow Mountain Circuit Recommendation Day 1: Chengdu - Kangding - Highway 434 - Honghaizi - Airport Road - Siding Lake - Xinduqiao (You can see snowy mountains all along this route) Day 2: Xinduqiao - Se'erkaka Village - Siye Yala - Gunong Village - Balang Shengdu - Tagong - Stay in Bamei Day 3: Tagong - Yala Snow Mountain Scenic Area (If you have enough time, you can make a trip to Heishi City) Return to Chengdu via Danba, or take Highway 434 back to Chengdu from Tagong. Note 1. The temperature on the plateau is low, with large temperature differences. Even in summer, you need to bring a thick down jacket. 2. As long as there is no heavy snow closing the mountains, there is no need for anti-skid chains. 3. Many snowy mountains can be accessed by sedan cars. The dressing table at Gaersi Mountain can also be reached by sedan. To go up to Heishi City, you need an off-road vehicle
