The Golden Summit is beautiful and the Buddha statues are majestic, but the heavy rain in the mountains reduced the experience, and the monkeys were not as splashy as imagined. The whole sightseeing car + cable car, the elderly and children are not tired
Mount Emei is truly beautiful and well worth a visit. From the high-speed rail station, you can take a bus directly up the mountain, which is very convenient. We took the bus and cable car tour, and I'd love to hike there sometime.

The Blue Moon Valley is crystal clear and beautiful. You can take the Yunshanping cable car up the mountain and look up at the snow-capped mountains up close. There are alpine meadows, spruce forests, herds of cattle and sheep, and dotted dandelions. It is a very satisfying scenic spot.
Overall it's ok. Yuhu Village is relatively small. Longnu Lake is ok and the scenery is nice, but not as beautiful as expected. It rained, so we stayed for a while and then left.

Walking into Du Fu's Thatched Cottage feels like stepping back into ancient times. The bamboo forest resembles a green ocean, rustling in the wind. The crooked thatched roof reminds me of Du Fu's poem, "The bedside is leaking, and there's no dry spot." Strolling through the grounds, I can empathize with Du Fu's concern for his country and his people, as he wrote, "I wish I had thousands of mansions." The guide's lively narration is available, and group tours are only 20 yuan per person.
Du Fu Thatched Cottage is a famous tourist attraction in Chengdu. It is a historical, cultural and literary theme. You need to listen to the explanation to understand the history and stories behind it. We invited a study teacher to explain, turning this trip into a vivid class. The teacher was very serious and professional. The explanation was vivid and interesting. The children liked it very much and were very educated. Many important figures have visited the Thatched Cottage, which shows that its status is extraordinary.

Located at No. 231 Wuhouci Street, Wuhou District, Chengdu, it covers an area of 150,000 square meters and consists of four parts: Han Zhaolie Temple, Wuhou Temple, Huiling, and Sanyi Temple. The gate of Han Zhaolie Temple has a hard roof, and there is a main hall inside. Together with the corridors for civil officials and military generals on the east and west sides, it forms a complete courtyard-style building. The hall has a single-eaved hip roof, is seven bays wide and four bays deep, and houses a 3-meter-high seated statue of Liu Bei. Wuhou Temple is surrounded by six buildings: the passage hall, the east wing, the west wing, the bell tower, the drum tower, and the Kongming Hall. The hall has a single-eaved hip roof, is five bays wide and two bays deep, and houses a statue of Zhuge Liang sculpted in the 11th year of the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty.
His first act of military prowess earned him a name for himself, and who can rival him in the next millennium? The Wuhou Temple Museum offers both historical and cultural heritage and scenic beauty. The offerings on the altar range from the abstract to the heartfelt, bringing a smile to your face. Sure enough, thousands of years later, people still hope he'll win. The cultural and creative exhibits are lovely, but there are just too many people. I went just before 4 PM, when admission closed, and it was incredibly crowded, making it impossible to take in a closer look.

The money was well spent. The car took us directly to the mountain, and there was a rest room. The tour guide took us two people alone and explained the route directly to the foot of the Leshan Giant Buddha. It saved time and effort. After the climb, there was hot tea and candy.
Although the weather was very hot, we had a great time. The Buddha was not under renovation and was fully exposed in front of us. It looked magnificent and the children had a lot of fun.

Qingcheng Mountain is much bigger than I imagined. After taking the cable car, don't go down. Go up a little bit and there is a road that leads down the mountain with the most scenic spots. If you go directly down after the cable car, there are very few scenic spots. If you don't take the cable car, it will be very difficult to climb the front mountain in one day. It is definitely not possible to climb it with children and the elderly.
A trip to Dujiangyan and Qingcheng Mountain was truly rewarding! First, I visited Dujiangyan and witnessed the Yuzui Diversion Dike, which divides the Minjiang River into two, achieving a 4:6 water split and a 2:8 sediment removal. I also witnessed the Feishayan flood discharge and sediment removal, and the Baopingkou precise water control. I couldn't help but marvel at the extraordinary wisdom of the ancients, which still nourishes the Chengdu Plain over 2,000 years later. Qingcheng Mountain offers a completely different experience. The moment you step through the mountain gates, the ambiance of "Qingcheng, the most secluded in the world" hits you. Walking along the winding mountain path, you're greeted by lush greenery, surrounded by Taoist temples like Tianshi Cave and Shangqing Palace. The air lingers with incense and the sound of bells, as if the hustle and bustle of the world is completely cut off, bringing a sense of tranquility and peace to your body and mind. These two attractions, one brimming with historical wisdom, the other brimming with natural tranquility, are absolutely not to be missed when visiting Chengdu!

Overall, Kushutan is worth a visit, with several nice spots. We opted for a 2.5-hour horseback ride for 300 yuan per person, but it involved some walking. The horseman suggested we walk back, saying it was an easy downhill hike, though there was still an uphill section at the end. After we got off, the horseman started soliciting customers at Kushutan again, suggesting that those who want to ride horses should consider Kushutan, as it might be more cost-effective. Overall, the value wasn't great.
36. I really like it and support it very much. The quality is very good, exactly as described by the seller. I am very satisfied and it completely exceeded my expectations. The delivery speed was very fast, the packaging was very careful and strict, the logistics company had a good service attitude, and the delivery speed was very fast. It was a very satisfying shopping experience~~~

The Tiger Leaping Gorge scenic area is flanked by Jade Dragon Snow Mountain on the south bank and Haba Snow Mountain on the north bank. Tightly bounded by the mountains on both sides, the river flows into the gorge, only about 50 meters wide. At its narrowest point, tigers and leopards could easily leap over it, hence the name Tiger Leaping Gorge. The gorge boasts steep slopes and sheer cliffs, forming a juvenile "V"-shaped canyon. The scenic area enjoys a temperate to cold temperate monsoon climate, with an average annual temperature of 4.7°C to 16.5°C. The canyon is divided into three sections: Upper Tiger Leaping Gorge, Middle Tiger Leaping Gorge, and Lower Tiger Leaping Gorge. Located 80 kilometers from Lijiang City, the gorge lies on the upper reaches of the Jinsha River. It stretches 17 kilometers, with a 25-kilometer winding path. With a vertical drop of over 3,900 meters, it is one of the deepest canyons in the world. Landslides once blocked the river, leaving behind massive boulders that exacerbate the currents.
We left Lijiang Old Town around 1:00 PM during peak summer season. Traffic was horrific, and including the hour-plus visit to Tiger Leaping Gorge, the total journey took almost seven hours. During peak season, it's recommended to depart before 8:00 AM to avoid the rush hour. After purchasing tickets on Ctrip, you need to exchange them at the ticket center and then transfer to the scenic area bus to take the elevator. The entire journey was quite smooth. The elevator ride up and down Tiger Leaping Gorge was effortless, saving time and effort. It was so user-friendly. The awe-inspiring Tiger Leaping Gorge is worth a repeat visit. 👍

A soul-stirring experience at Lugu Lake! Climb aboard the Mosuo people's unique pig trough boats, and you'll feel like you've become part of this landscape painting. The waters are crystal clear, and the oars slice through the emerald waves, creating a tranquil and soothing experience. The boatman, a warm and friendly man, steers the boat steadily while introducing Mosuo culture and interesting stories about the lake, like an old friend. As the boat sails through the center of the lake, surrounded by mountains, the blue sky and white clouds reflected in the water are breathtakingly beautiful! This is an unmissable experience to experience the pristine charm of Lugu Lake and the Mosuo culture, and it's absolutely worth the price of admission! 🌙
It's worth a visit. Due to time constraints, I only stayed for one day. It's more suitable for a leisurely tour here, not just to see the scenery. If possible, you can go deep into the ethnic minorities to visit.

My eyes were in heaven, my body was in purgatory—worth it! Daocheng Yading, known as "the last pure land on the blue planet," is truly the most breathtaking place I've ever visited! But be sure to be well prepared before going, otherwise it'll be truly excruciating 😣 Transportation and Itinerary 🚗We drove from Chengdu. The scenery along the way was breathtaking, but the journey was a bit long, lasting several hours. You can also fly to Daocheng Yading Airport, but be aware of altitude sickness. Sightseeing buses and electric cars are available within the scenic area. The sightseeing bus is a must, saving time and energy, while the electric car can be chosen based on your fitness level. Experience the Scenic Spots 🌄The scenic area is divided into long and short tours. We first visited the Pearl Lake, a relatively relaxing tour. Strolling along the plank road, we admired the forest and snow-capped mountains along the way. The snow-capped mountains reflected in the Pearl Lake were stunning. It was a perfect place to take a leisurely stroll and experience the tranquility and beauty of nature. 🥾The long hike to the Milk Lake and Five-Colored Lake is truly a test of both physical strength and willpower. The round-trip hike is about 10 kilometers, and the altitude is high, making it difficult to walk without breathing. But once you see the pure blue of the Milk Lake and the vibrant colors of the Five-Colored Lake beside it, all your fatigue melts away. It's so worth it! The scenery is like something out of a painting. Scenic Area Facilities The scenic area's facilities and services are quite comprehensive, with sightseeing buses and electric cars operating efficiently. Staff are available at the visitor center and rest areas, providing prompt assistance with any questions. However, there are few dining options within the scenic area, and prices are relatively high, so bring some snacks and water. Travel Tips 👩‍🦯 Be sure to take precautions against altitude sickness and take rhodiola rosea beforehand. Avoid strenuous exercise upon arrival. Also, for long hikes, be sure to wear comfortable shoes and bring plenty of water and energy-boosting foods, such as chocolate or beef jerky. If you're less physically fit, horseback riding is an option, but availability is limited, so arrive early to queue. Daocheng Yading is a place that makes you feel tired and doubt your life, but you will miss it so much when you come back. The scenery is beautiful and it is worth a visit. #稻城亚丁 #旅游攻略 #川西旅游
The ticket was valid for two days, so we split the two days between the long and short routes. The weather was amazing, with two days of perfect weather. 👍 On the first afternoon, we booked the short route, with only five or six people on the tour bus. It was a fantastic experience. We took a leisurely tour of the short route, spending almost three hours, checking in at all the attractions, and finally caught the last bus down the mountain at around 7:00 PM. It was a perfect experience. ❤ The next day, we went to the ticket center around 9:00 AM and paid for the half-price bus fare, which cost 60 yuan per person. The crowds weren't too great, so we arrived at Zhaguanbeng without any problems. We walked a few hundred meters to Chonggu Meadow and transferred to the central electric car. We bought round-trip tickets for 70 yuan. After arriving at Luolong Ranch, we hiked for five hours, admiring snow-capped mountains, grasslands, waterfalls, lakes, and rivers, before finally encountering the Milk Sea and the Five-Colored Sea. The weather was perfect, clearing up every time it was our turn to take photos. It only rained lightly, but ordinary waterproof jackets are not necessary. We didn't use oxygen the entire time and didn't experience altitude sickness. The experience was truly wonderful. Aside from the somewhat strenuous climb up the plateau, everything else was perfect. 💥Note: Self-heating meals are basically the only thing sold at the Milk Sea food stall, 35 yuan a box. Coke is 15 yuan a bottle. We barely managed to eat a few bites of food until around 3:00 PM. If you're a slower climber, it's helpful to bring some energy supplies. Daocheng Yading truly lives up to its name: the last pristine land on the blue planet!
