Longtou Beach in Xiaojin County, Western Sichuan, perfect for a self-driving camping trip during the May Day holiday!

👍Highly recommended: Longtou Beach in Xiaojin County is a little-known secret spot in Western Sichuan that remains undeveloped. Snow-capped mountains, grasslands, streams, lakes, wooden bridges, yaks... it fulfills everyone's fantasy of a secluded destination. 📍Detailed address: Navigate to "Daping Pasture Village", about 50 kilometers from Xiaojin County town. Park your car in front of the temple at the very end of the village, then walk back to the first corner to enter the mountain for a hike. It takes about 30 minutes to reach the destination and return the same way. 🚉Travel tips: Road conditions: Only accessible by self-driving. The last stretch of the road is in very poor condition, not suitable for sedans. There is about 20km of washboard road into the village, so drive slowly if you're in a small car. 💰Average cost per person: Tickets: No admission feeFreeFree 📝Note tips: Altitude: The area is at an altitude of about 3800 meters, so be aware of altitude sickness. 🗓Itinerary: Self-driving camping route from Chengdu to Longtou Beach in Xiaojin County: Day 1: Chengdu—Balang Mountain—Daping Pasture Village in Xiaojin County—Longtou Beach Day 2: Longtou Beach—Mount Siguniang—Chengdu or Day 1: Chengdu—Balang Mountain—Mount Siguniang Day 2: Mount Siguniang—Daping Pasture Village in Xiaojin County—Longtou Beach—Danba Day 3: Danba Jiaju—Zhonglu Tibetan Village—Mosika Day 4: Mosika—Chengdu
