132***32:“We went there after the snow in March. There were many monkeys jumping onto the car asking for food. We hiked at the foot of the mountain on the first day and saw deer. On the second day, we took the cable car to the top of the mountain. It was still foggy halfway up the mountain, but when we got to the top, there was a sea of clouds and the scenery was great. We only had one restaurant in the scenic area, and the soup pot was very small.”
Open tomorrow at 08:30-16:30 (admission ends at 16:30)
举世无双大头虾:“We went directly to the scenic area on the first day. We entered at 2:30 in the afternoon and did not visit the panda park. We went directly to the left canyon. The left canyon is relatively flat and the hike is not tiring. The Fengshui waterfall is spectacular. We entered at 2:30 and came out at 5:30. We took the elevator out and the queue was not long.”
M31***91:“This is one of the scenic spots I am quite satisfied with during this trip. The ticket price is not very expensive, but there are not many people and I even saw pandas fighting. There are very few people in the short canyon and it takes about an hour to walk through it. The scenery is pretty good. The only complaint is that the elevator at the end requires waiting in line for more than 40 minutes. I finally took a picture, but when I got out of the elevator, I found that there were still hundreds of steps to climb. It was really tiring.”
M30***43:“Apart from the price, there's nothing wrong with it. The entrance fee is expensive, and some of the facilities inside require additional payment. However, the Tiger is quite fun and the kids also like it. Overall, it's worth a visit.”

老老倪:“Erlangshan Tunnel is located in Luding County, Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan Province. It starts from Longdanxi No. 3 Bridge in the east, passes through Ganhaizi Mountain of Erlang Mountain, and ends at Bietuo Tunnel in the west. It is 4,176 meters long, 748 meters deep, and a two-way, two-lane, three-level highway with an altitude of 2,200 meters. It was started in 1996 with an investment of 540 million yuan and completed and opened to traffic in 2001. At that time, it was the longest, deepest, highest altitude, largest ground stress, and longest construction period in China. The tunnel was constructed using the New Austrian Tunneling Method and composite lining, overcoming rock bursts, large deformations, landslides, underground rivers, and karst areas. In 2004, it won the "Fourth Zhan Tianyou Civil Engineering Award" and the "Lu Ban Award" for national quality construction projects.”
Opening hours: Off season 09:00-17:00, Peak season 08:30-17:30
Anonymous user:“I did it for the beautiful medal! The whole hike took about three hours, including sheltering from the rain. I didn't take the cable car. It rained heavily during the hike, otherwise I could have walked faster.”
格格巴:“Erlang Mountain is located in Tianquan County, Ya'an City, 172 kilometers away from Chengdu, with an altitude of 3,437 meters. It is the natural watershed between the Qingyi River and the Dadu River. Climbing to a higher point, you can see the snow-capped peaks of Mount Gongga in Sichuan. Compared with the forest parks around the city, the scenery here has more primitive wildness. This temperament is given by nature and is also the temperament that only the original ecological forests like Erlang Mountain have.”
「QingH」:“Who in my family understands? Mount Emei is absolutely stunning, with its sea of clouds, sunrise, and Golden Summit. But the ticket price is really expensive, including the ticket, cable car, and sightseeing bus. It's a real drain on your wallet!”
Anonymous user:“If you don't want a tour guide and just want to see the dam, you still need to get an audio guide. It is recommended that the scenic area put audio guides for rent at each gate, so that many tourists who do not want a tour guide can rent an audio guide at different locations and return it when they leave, without having to go back.”
Opening hours: 08:00-17:30 (admission ends at 14:00)
岚行天涯:“Lanxi River is named after the magnolias and azaleas that cover it. It is the largest river on the top of Wawu Mountain. Lanxi Waterfall is also the largest waterfall in Sichuan Wawu Mountain National Forest Park, with a total height of 1,055 meters. In winter, Lanxi Waterfall freezes into a huge icefall, which is crystal blue and a great spectacle.”

M45***39:“A very satisfying trip. The food at Luming Restaurant tastes good. You can also see deer when you eat there at night. It is a wonderful trip. It will be very nice to bring friends here in the future~”
树之欲静:“The famous dish on National Highway 318, Tianquan Chicken.
The beautiful and thrilling National Highway 318, starting from Chengdu to Tibet, when passing through Tianquan County, Ya'an, you must eat Qiaotou wonton, and also order a cold chicken.
If you are not passing by, but staying in the city, you don't necessarily have to go to Qiaotou to eat. Because there is more than one similar restaurant in Tianquan County, such as this one-Zengji Pepper Chicken.
Zengji Pepper Chicken Restaurant is said to use red crowns and aggressive pheasants, whose meat is firm, chewy, and rich in meat aroma.
The mixed chicken offal and chicken slices are very delicious, spicy and full of freshness;
The wonton skin is good, with a solid texture but not thick.
White soup wonton is recommended. The soup is chicken soup, with pepper, fresh and tempting.
Red soup wonton is too ordinary.”
滇国剑客:“Although Fancunpo Farmhouse has the word "farm" in its name, the food here tastes really good, especially the recommended foods such as stewed chicken with cured ribs and fish with sauce, which have been well received by the public.”
liyuzeng60:“This KFC fast food restaurant is located in the Tianquan Service Area shopping mall on National Highway 318 in Tianquan County, Sichuan Province. It is a gourmet restaurant serving specialty food with a nice environment and consistently good taste.”
M45***54:“20-year-old shop, conscientious business. 500 meters away from the Red Army Memorial Hall, large portions and affordable prices. Located next to 318 Road, it is worth recommending. Many people ride 318 to check in at this shop, and the boss is very enthusiastic. The boss can provide 26 tourist loops for free, and he considers all customers. Very thoughtful and good service

郭小yan:“The first stop in western Sichuan, from Chengdu to Ya'an, 130 kilometers, for a bowl of wonton.
.
Every time I come to western Sichuan, I want to patronize this [Qiaotoubao wonton], but every time I don't go, because if the first stop from Chengdu is only to Ya'an, it's a bit too close, and if the schedule is tight, this operation is a bit of a waste of time. This time the schedule is not too tight, and I finally came to taste it as I wished.
.
It is said that the predecessor of this old store was a barber shop, but the owner has a hidden skill of cooking wontons and pepper chicken, which is very delicious. Gradually, people come to get a haircut for this bowl of wontons and this bite of chicken. So, later it simply became a small restaurant, well, it's so willful. The original small shop at the bridgehead can no longer accommodate the booming business, so they rented the opposite side of the road to run it.
.
Must-eat when visiting the store:
Oh my God, the pepper chicken is really delicious, the chicken is very tender, and the secret dipping sauce is amazing! To be honest, I used to feel that there was nothing delicious in western Sichuan. Lao Zhao and I often lived on self-heating rice, but now I have changed a little.
However, the skin of the wonton is a bit too hard and not smooth enough. But the flaws do not outweigh the merits, and the price is completely cheap, which is no longer seen in the city. Such a big bowl is only 8 yuan, so the first bite of wonton at this first stop is still highly praised.
.
This old shop still has a human touch. Only from the most local eating habits can you taste the most local human touch. It is said that the taste of a city cannot be easily changed, because there are too many memories involved in the taste. Every old brand keeps the human touch they insist on, and manages the taste and the feelings. I think this is why the wanderer can relieve his homesickness as long as he eats a bite of local food.
.
When you come to western Sichuan to play, you might as well stop by to eat a bowl of wonton and a portion of Sichuan pepper chicken to experience the most local taste.

Stevemnnn:“Hot pot (English: Hot Pot), formerly known as "Gudong Soup", is named for the "gulp" sound made when food is put into boiling water. It is a unique Chinese delicacy with a long history and is suitable for all ages. According to research, hot pot existed in the Warring States Period, and people at that time used pottery jars as pots. By the Song Dynasty, eating hot pot was very common among the people. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Lin Hong's cookbook "Shan Jia Qing Gong" introduced eating hot pot with friends. In the Yuan Dynasty, hot pot spread to Mongolia. By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, hot pot was not only popular among the people, but also became a famous "palace dish", with game such as pheasants as ingredients.”
CD云上:“I went to Shimian and passed by Tianquan, so I went to this shop. The shop looks very old, and the sign is still a barber shop. It is very popular, and many people come here because of its reputation. There is no seat when I went there at noon, so I had to queue up. The shop mainly sells cold chicken and wonton. The chicken is good, but I think the price is a bit high. The seasoning is their specialty, with a strong spicy and sweet taste. The seasoning can be purchased separately.”
liyuzeng60:“This coffee shop is located in the lobby of Tianquan Service Area in Tianquan County. The environment here is very good, the coffee tastes good, and the service is also very good. It is well worthwhile for tourists to take a rest in this service area.”
