Baoxing in Ya'an is a more suitable alternative to the Western Sichuan Plateau for babies with general physique!
There are three spots in total: Qiaoqi Lake, Shenmulei, and Dawagengzha, all of which are very close.
You only need a little more than one day to visit, with the highest altitude being over 3800 meters. I didn't see anyone with altitude sickness, so a weekend trip is completely OK.
The green lake, snow-capped mountains, streams, waterfalls, and fir trees, you can see all of these here. Although the grandeur of the scenery is not comparable to Western Sichuan, it is closer and without the risk of altitude sickness.
Leisurely itinerary option one
Day 1: Depart at 8-9 am, Chengdu-Qiaoqi Lake-Shenmulei-Dawagengzha entrance for accommodation
Day 2: Wake up at 4 am, walk to Dawagengzha to take the scenic area bus to the mountain top, walk on the plank road, wait to watch the sunrise, and descend around 8 am, leisurely return to Chengdu.
Tight schedule option two
Day 1: Depart at 5 pm, Chengdu-Dawagengzha entrance for accommodation, stroll around and have a barbecue in the evening
Day 2: Wake up at 4 am, walk to Dawagengzha to take the scenic area bus up the mountain, walk on the plank road, wait to watch the sunrise, and descend around 8 am, pass by Qiaoqi Lake on the way to Shenmulei, play for 20-30 minutes, then to Shenmulei, play for 2-3 hours. You can return to Chengdu before 2 pm.
The third option is if you don't watch the sunrise, there's no need to stay there, and you can go back and forth in one day.
The poster is not high, suitable for taking the elderly and children to go together, the forest trail is also very interesting, there is a chance to see the horse group and cattle and sheep in the forest. But close contact is not recommended. The service is a bit poor. There is only one toilet in the whole process. The toilet has no water. The staff is off work very early and it is dark.
It is an hour's drive from Ya'an City 1.5, mainly national roads, and the scenic spot is not big, suitable for playing as an intermediate point. The mountain is divided into meadow and snow mountain two attractions. The meadow scenic spot should be more beautiful in spring and summer.
The weather is super beautiful, it feels very healing, the mountain is right in front of you, and the photo is very good. Pay attention to sun protection. The altitude is not high, but the scenery is very good and the body is not uncomfortable. There are cows and small squirrels on the road.
The Shenmu Lei before the Dragon Boat Festival is great! There are few people, beautiful baskets, white clouds, and cattle and sheep everywhere. It is really beautiful! There is a sightseeing car in the scenic spot to send to the middle of the mountain. It takes 20 minutes to walk to the big lawn Shenlongping, and it takes less than 40 minutes to go down the mountain. Shenmu Lei, a place worth visiting!
The scenic spot is pet-friendly, how can this not be praised, it must be strongly praised and recommended. The scenery of the scenic spot itself is also very good. It was late autumn when I went. Although I didn't see the layered red leaves of the mountain, the golden autumn color was also beautiful. Next time I wait for the summer to bring the dog to escape the heat.
It is still worth going, that is, the attitude of the staff in the scenic spot is not very good, but it does not affect the beauty of the scenic spot. The meadow is not too tired to climb up the mountain on the top of the mountain. The meadow is very beautiful and special. The scenery along the road is still good.
Second brush Shenmu Lei, the entrance of the scenic spot is the Tibetan Village, the altitude of 2300+ is not high, find a homestay you like, take your baby to climb the mountain, write, read, and eat meat. Satisfy your yearning for the sea of clouds, rain, mist, luck, you can watch the stars and wait for the moon, a short version of Western Sichuan [satisfaction]
