I finally made it to Xinduqiao! This guide is all you need for taking photos

One must visit Xinduqiao on the Western Sichuan Plateau at least once in their lifetime. Every casual shot is a stunning view! When you get here, you might wonder if the seasons have put on an art exhibition on the plateau. Is it only in autumn that Xinduqiao is so splendidly colorful? After spring and summer, the colors of autumn are rendered to the extreme on the plateau, painting the hillsides and fields with brilliant golds and intoxicating reds that are almost exaggeratedly bright. Generally speaking, going to Xinduqiao is not about visiting a specific scenic spot, but rather to appreciate the beautiful natural environment of Xinduqiao town, with its pastoral scenery beneath the alpine meadows. Here, the boundless meadows, winding streams, cattle and sheep foraging on the slopes, and Tibetan villages scattered among the mountains are like a fairyland of oil paintings with shifting light and shadow, making one linger and forget to return. 📍Located at the fork of the G318 national highway's south and north lines 🚗350 kilometers from Chengdu, a 6-hour drive ✅Jiagenba Covered with a sea of colorful flowers, a casual glance back from the pavilion walkway reveals a world as beautiful as April on Earth. Many people miss the scenery here, so be sure to leave time for photos and check-ins! ✅Ten-mile Corridor Located along more than ten kilometers of the Xinduqiao town line, with tall poplar forests on both sides of the road, this place is a world of light and shadow, truly deserving of the name 'Photographer's Corridor', where every casual shot is a masterpiece ✅Xinduqiao Town Xinduqiao has a stream, and on sunny days, the stream here is like sprinkled with a layer of frosting, with blue skies and white clouds, everything seems so healing and warm. Be sure to take photos on the wooden bridge! It's especially photogenic! 📍Best photography location: About 20 kilometers from the direction of Zheduo Mountain to Xinduqiao, next to a road maintenance team, continue along the G318 national highway for about 1 kilometer on the high slope, and along the Yingjiu Road towards Jiulong for 7 kilometers, the composition is superb! 🕰Best photography time: Morning or dusk, at the Gongga Snow Mountain viewing platform, not only can you see Gongga Snow Mountain, but you can also take in the entire valley, with the light hitting Xinduqiao presenting a stunning play of light and shadow! 📌📌Travel Tips: 1 The scenic area is located in a high-altitude area, avoid strenuous exercise to prevent altitude sickness 2 The body consumes more on the plateau, and it's easy to get hungry, so it's wise to carry some dry food and snacks 3 The UV radiation is strong, be sure to take sun protection measures~ 4 Essentials for plateau travel: sunscreen, umbrella raincoat, humidifier, oxygen bottles, etc. ——————
