It's rare to see attractions that charge admission, but they're still quite beautiful! Every checkpoint is worth a visit! Recommended spots include Panyang Lake, Swallow Rock (avoid taking a car from Swallow Rock to Panyang Lake; the walking path leads through primeval forest covered in moss and mushrooms, creating a fairytale atmosphere), Zhuoma Beach, and Longwang Lake. For those driving, I also recommend staying at the Namu Lake Resort Hotel in the scenic area. It's convenient, has excellent facilities, and even offers real hot springs.
A highly recommended hotel near the Bipenggou Scenic Area. The environment is great, the bathtub is fantastic, and the food is plentiful. It's very close to the scenic area, so you can park your car at the hotel and walk directly to the visitor center.

The ancient Qiang village architecture is quite distinctive. The brick walls are connected by pillars, and each household is connected. The door locks are very unique, and there are observation holes facing outwards, so you can shoot hidden arrows. There are watchtowers and secret passages. I invited an old man from the Qiang village to explain and take me around. The old man was very enthusiastic and sang very nicely.
