Came in afternoon and crowd wasnt bad since November is off peak season! Very worth! Feels like a long walk in the park.
Good to visit in autumn season. I went during April and the pandas are only active in aircon rooms. In Nov. you can see them very active outdoor although they like sleeping. Must go! I manage to see the star Hua Hua and He Ye!

The tour guide was very professional and patient in explaining things on-site. We communicated in advance to confirm the reception location and time, and the on-site explanation service, which was originally scheduled for 2 hours, went far beyond what was expected. The elderly were very satisfied!
Highly recommend and thank you to Professor Zhou Huan for her three-hour insightful lecture. Our family of three learned a great deal. Professor Zhou Huan was very patient, providing a wealth of practical information. She is incredibly knowledgeable and has a deep understanding of Sanxingdui culture. My 7-year-old child listened attentively throughout the entire lecture thanks to Professor Zhou's meticulous explanations. I believe we will definitely come again in a few years when our child is older.

The weather was lovely, the environment was lovely, the air was lovely, everything felt so natural and comfortable. I could leisurely stroll around for a day, replenishing my extremely knowledge-poor brain. I love Caotang, I'll definitely visit again next time.
The content is excellent, the landscaping is beautiful, and the scenery is unique, making it perfect for student study tours! It allows students to learn about the integrity of poets and scholars, and to gain a deeper understanding of the ancients! It's best to hire a guide inside so you can learn even more!

The natural scenery of Mount Emei is breathtaking. The sunrise and sea of clouds at the Golden Summit are truly spectacular. Taking the cable car to the Golden Summit at dawn allows you to witness the sun piercing through the clouds, with the rosy glow intertwining with the sea of clouds to create a flowing golden ribbon. The viewing platform at an altitude of 3079 meters seems to float in the sky. On a clear day, you can also see Mount Gongga, the highest peak in Sichuan, with glaciers and the sea of clouds in the same frame, a magnificent sight. The landscape painting at Qingyin Pavilion is also not to be missed. The twin bridges, clear streams, waterfalls, and primeval forests create a stunning scene. Walking along the boardwalk, the sounds of water and birdsong form a natural symphony.
Amidst the swirling clouds and mist, the Golden Summit of Mount Emei suddenly revealed its true form, with golden Buddha light illuminating the vast sea of clouds, creating an atmosphere like a fairyland. My soul was instantly awestruck by the magnificent beauty of nature! Mount Emei is so beautiful!

I traveled on Nov so the weather was quite cold but the scene is very pretty
To be fair, places with rich cultural heritage are quite nice. Make sure to let the tour guide speak; otherwise, the trip is a waste. This time, the guide was very professional, spoke at a comfortable pace, and gave lively and interesting explanations. Worth a visit!

The Leshan Giant Buddha is more than just the giant Buddha statue itself. After seeing the entire Buddha from head to toe, you can visit nearby attractions such as Su Garden, Dongpo Tower, Wuyou Temple, Mahao Cliff Tombs Museum, and Pilu Temple, all of which are excellent choices.
It takes about half an hour by taxi from the high-speed rail station. It was incredibly crowded. The queue to get to the base of the Buddha statue took about an hour. There were also many foreigners visiting. It's really quite impressive, but the queues are too long. I recommend traveling during off-peak hours.

It's pretty good. The air on the mountain is very fresh. If you're going for the hike, I wouldn't recommend the cable car; the queue is two hours long, while the cable car ride is only five minutes. Of course, it depends on the situation. It gets very crowded during the summer holidays. This is just for your reference.
Qingcheng Mountain is a secluded and tranquil place, lush with greenery, shrouded in mist, and filled with fresh, invigorating air. Its peaks rise one after another, covered in verdant forests that remain evergreen year-round. The surrounding peaks resemble a fortified city, and the scenic area is deep and serene, hence the reputation of "Qingcheng, the most secluded place under heaven." Another theory about the origin of the mountain's name is that during the Tang Dynasty, a mistake in a written edict changed "Qingcheng" to "Qingcheng," supported by existing Tang Dynasty inscriptions.

We visited here in July .It wasn’t crowded at all .However the weather was quite rainy with lots of mist,so We couldn’t see the Mountain View’s I was hoping for 😭.The peaks were completely cover by fog ,but the mist added a calm ,mysterious atmosphere that made the experience unique in its own way.I would like to come back again on a clear day to see the full view!!
The Shuangqiaogou Scenic Area of Mount Siguniang is mainly for viewing snow scenery and snow-capped mountains this season. Compared with other scenic spots in western Sichuan such as Bipenggou, the scenery is not as good as advertised. However, it is still worth a visit if you have never been before. See the pictures for the scenery.

The journey from Lijiang to Lugu Lake was quite long, but the moment I saw the lake, it was all worth it! It truly deserves its reputation as a pearl of the plateau, and was the most memorable highlight of our Yunnan trip. Even now, more than a month after returning, I often think of the azure lake and the beautiful sky—a sight I'll never want to leave!
This is my third trip to Lugu Lake. The first time was in 2016, alone; the second time was with colleagues. Nine years later, I'm going again, and the lake scenery is still the same—very peaceful, with excellent water quality. This time, I'm with my wife. We spent two days at Lugu Lake, enjoying a pleasant drive around the lake. Waking up in the morning, we could see the beautiful scenery. The overall ecological environment is excellent, although some attractions are still underdeveloped. I hope to have the opportunity to go again sometime.
