The eternal god of Western Sichuan - A snow mountain journey on my life's list
Western Sichuan is beautiful in all four seasons,
It's a mysterious and very healing place.
Western Sichuan is not far away, you can just go on a whim.
The Scarecrow Travel took me to three encounters with three snow mountains,
I savored a feast of snow mountains among the clouds in Western Sichuan.
🏔️【Mount Siguniang, Yala Snow Mountain】
These two famous snow mountains in the Tibetan area fulfilled all my fantasies about Western Sichuan. Here, snow mountains, grasslands, lakes, and seas of cattle and horses form beautiful and spectacular paintings. The sight of them is unforgettable. Not only are they high in altitude, but their scenery is no less stunning than other snow mountains, especially when paired with Tagong Grassland and the sunset, the view is even more beautiful.
❷Besides the beautiful scenery, what's unforgettable is the story shared by a local Tibetan youth, Jiumei. He talked about his entrepreneurial experience: building libraries, guesthouses, and trying various methods to find a way out on the Tibetan Plateau. From his story and words, I felt his deep love for this land. The well-designed sharing session gave me a profound understanding and feeling for the Tibetan people and their culture.
🏔️【Mount Gongga】
It's extremely difficult to reach Niubei Mountain due to its high altitude, requiring at least four bus changes, switching to six taxis, then to an Iveco, and finally to the hotel's off-road shuttle. Fortunately, the Scarecrow Travel arranged everything, otherwise, I can't imagine how I would have gotten up here alone. When the weather is good, you can see the full view of Mount Gongga, with clouds, sunset, starry sky, sunrise. Watching the clouds surge at that moment, I felt that all the hardships along the way were worth it. The hotel I stayed at on Niubei Mountain offers a 360-degree view, and I had a steaming yak soup pot, which was warming both to the stomach and heart.
🔥【Travel Tips】
❶The temperature difference between morning and evening in Western Sichuan is large, so bring warm clothes.
❷Drink plenty of hot water, prepare some high-calorie food in advance, and bring some medicine for altitude sickness.
❸The UV rays are strong during the day, so be sure to protect yourself from the sun.
🌞【5-Day Itinerary in Western Sichuan】
✔️Day1: From various places to Chengdu → Check-in
✔️Day2: Chengdu → Maobinliang Viewing Platform → Mount Siguniang Shuangqiao Valley → Stay in Xiaojin
✔️Day3: Xiaojin → Yala Snow Mountain Viewing Platform → Moshigong Park → Muya Temple → Tagong Grassland → Stay in Xinduqiao
✔️Day4: Xinduqiao → Zheduo Mountain → Kangding → Luding → Niubei Mountain
✔️Day5: Sunrise at Niubei Mountain → Return to Chengdu
Tips:
This trip to Western Sichuan brought me a lot of gains. I didn't expect the Scarecrow Travel's snow mountain pilgrimage group to give me so many surprises. Not only did they show me the beauty of the snow mountains, but the guide also took us to Jiumu Temple, saw the unique Mani stone piles, and the first encounter with female lamas was really wonderful. We all listened together to the Tibetan people's faith and attitude towards money. At the top of the mountain, we experienced meditation in a retreat cave and felt the flow of energy. Jiumei said that only the Scarecrow Travel group can come here, others do not know the profound story hidden in Jiumu Temple. It turns out that Western Sichuan has not only landscapes but also a rich cultural atmosphere and local culture.

In the autumn of Ya'an in Western Sichuan, I stumbled upon the 'Little Switzerland'~
The end of autumn in Ya'an is brilliantly golden, where you can enjoy the most beautiful colorful forests, as well as see the adorable giant pandas🐼, green meadows, and babbling streams, giving you the feeling of being in 'Switzerland'. Visiting the 'New Eight Scenic Spots' of Ya'an with friends, one can't help but exclaim in amazement❗
1⃣️ Niubeishan
Niubeishan combines spectacular wonders such as sunrise, snow-capped mountains, sea of clouds, Buddha's light, starry sky, and flower sea, and is known as 'Asia's most beautiful 360° viewing platform', with the reputation of 'returning from Niubei without looking at clouds'. First, a shock! Standing on the 360° viewing platform, you can experience the stunning beauty of the sea of clouds, snow mountains, and sunrise🌅. The Niubeishan ticket-free event is still ongoing! 🎫Now tickets + sightseeing car 0 yuan/person~
2⃣️ Bifengxia
'National Geographic' did not deceive me. The severely underrated small city in Western Sichuan, here is the 5A scenic spot Bifengxia, I think the biggest advantage is that you can watch the national treasure panda at close range!!!! How can you not be moved!!!! The dreamy land of giant pandas🐼, what attracts me the most is the opportunity to see the adorable giant pandas🐼 up close, definitely not to be missed!
🎫Ticket + 🚠Sightseeing: 100r
⏰Opening hours: 9:00-16:00
3⃣️ Wanggangping
Gradually entering autumn, Wanggangping will be as beautiful as a fairyland~ The autumn breeze sweeps through, and the large colorful forests, like God's overturned palette, pile up on the slopes in reds and greens, like brocade and jade, dazzling and intoxicating! There is also the Gongga Snow Mountain with its perennial snow, the forest in brilliant purples and reds, this is the 'Song of Ice and Fire'~ Snow-capped mountains and colorful forests appear in the same picture, a rare sight, with thick fog, it's like traveling through a fairyland, with sunrise, it's like being clad in golden armor😍
4⃣️ Mengdingshan
The middle and late October of each year is the most beautiful season for ginkgo trees, with yellow leaves🍂 all over the ground, a paradise for photographers. The Mengdingshan scenic area's Tiangai Temple is surrounded by 13 tall ginkgo trees, with 12 remaining female trees, known as 'Mengding's Twelve Hairpins', each with a history of 2200 years. This kind of ancient ginkgo group is rare in Sichuan Province and even in the whole country.
The secret base of ginkgo, in autumn the ginkgo leaves cover the ground, super beautiful for photos! The 52 yuan ticket is a great place for photo ops.
♨️ Additionally, there are
5⃣️ Hanjiang Ancient City
6⃣️ Fengtongzhai Dengchi Valley
7⃣️ Laba River
8⃣️ Sichuan Dadu River Gorge National Geopark
Ya'an is also the first and only city in Sichuan to be awarded the title of 'National Designated Film Shooting Location'. Movies like 'The Road of Life is Unfamiliar', 'The Road to Heaven', 'Above the Clouds on Niubei', and TV series 'Yi Hai Alliance' have successively brought the beautiful scenery and food of Ya'an to the screen. The movie 'P Plan', starring internationally renowned actor Jackie Chan, is currently being filmed in Ya'an, and the TV series 'Westward, Westward' has just wrapped up shooting in Ya'an.
Why go to Xinjiang or Switzerland, folks! If you don't want to travel far and deal with crowds, definitely take this guide~ A lesser-known tourist spot around Chengdu
99% of the locals don't know! Under the Gongga Snow Mountain, above the cloud pasture, yes! This is Ya'an!!! You definitely can't miss the autumn in Ya'an😛

Ya'an Yuansuo Yunfeng Yuli Hotel Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Surrounding Chengdu, visit the millennium-old Zen temple and admire the vast tea plantations
-
Ya'an is only a 2-hour drive from Chengdu, just right for a visit to my favorite mountains and temples, trees and tea.
-
🍃 Yunfeng Temple, a sanctuary surrounded by a thousand-year-old ancient Nanmu forest
No admission fee, no donation box, no incense and candles for sale - a pure temple!
It boasts over 200 ancient trees and is known as 'China's most beautiful ancient forest' - a pure land on earth.
🍃 Niunianping, the starting point of the ancient Tea Horse Road, with its vast tea gardens
April is the most beautiful time of the year, with everything growing and the green tea trees covering the hills like 'fingerprints of the earth'. The tea garden is picturesque with its spring greenery, and it's busy with tea picking. Besides enjoying the flowers and scenery, you can also hike the small loop, pick tea leaves, cycle around, and learn about tea. There are hardly any food vendors in the park, so it's recommended to bring some water and food.
🍃 A Zen hotel hidden in the secret forest.
I tried it out for the 'Top 10 Must-Sleep Green Luxury Awards' in China. The hotel is located within the Yunfeng Mountain Scenic Area, opposite Yunfeng Temple. Here you can hear the temple bells, the chanting of monks, and every morning the hotel butler reads scriptures on the chanting platform - a very healing moment.
🚗 Share itinerary:
Day one: Sleep in until naturally waking up, leave around 10 am, have local snacks for lunch in Xingjing County, such as Zhou Ji's ancestral Bangbang Chicken (with many bamboo shoot side dishes, a quarter is enough for two people), Dada noodles, etc. After lunch, arrive at the hotel, drink tea, visit Yunfeng Temple, daydream, and after dinner at the hotel, take a leisurely stroll and soak in a private bath. (There is a famous Taihu Fish Restaurant 300 meters from the hotel that closes at 7 pm, and it takes about 40 minutes to roast a fish, so it's best to call ahead to reserve)
Day two: Also sleep in until naturally waking up, have breakfast and then head back to Chengdu. Stop by Shangli Ancient Town for lunch on the way, and visit Niunianping Tea Garden in the afternoon for sightseeing and tea drinking.

May you and I have the capacity for happiness

Be sure to eat a good stick to the chanting, chicken slices mixed with hot peppers, and the local chicken meat is more fragrant, so that we ate a few great chickens later.
How can I eat a bean farm rice when I eat a farmer's dish? The bean flower of his family is also very tender and the entrance is instant.
Farmhouse sausage, moderate fat and thin, spicy.
In addition to hiking on foot in the Long Canggou Forest Park, you can also float on the Emerald Lake by boat. Its a pleasant time to row a boat on this emerald green and crystal clear lake.
Long Canggou kayaking: 50 yuan / boat, a boat can only sit one person
Long Canggou bamboo raft: 20 yuan / person
no paddling small partners can also come here Experience once, the paddle is very light and very hard, so it is also very easy to draw, easy to control the direction, even a small rookie like me can easily move forward, how fast you want depends on you.
Sitting on the bamboo pole, there is a staff responsible for boating, but the speed is very slow, you can enjoy the beauty of the mountain slowly.
In the scenic area, the water is flowing, the grass is forestry, and it is said that the forest park is definitely not a name. After all, 97.5% of the forest coverage rate, even if it is only a weekend to come here to breathe a little fresh air is worthwhile, covered with pieces of trees, It is a real natural oxygen bar.
Hiking is also the best way to explore in the scenic area. It is in the forest, and there is a stream flowing through the river. When the sun is shining, the bright April is so beautiful, very poetic and very Zen.
There are special walking walkways in the scenic spot, all the way along the plank road, leisurely and self-sufficient, walking through this virgin forest. There are no scenes of people and seas. The scenic spot seems to belong to a few of us, very quiet. If you want to find a quiet place, Long Canggou can't be better.
