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.
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.
After the discount, the 32 yuan ticket is still worth it. The sightseeing car is not interesting. It is very close to the alpine meadow. Easy self-driving, there are not many people here, suitable for weekend trips, and there are many accommodations in Shenmu Leidawa Gengza.
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]
Super recommended, not tired, happy, very cost-effective
Pet-friendly scenic spot, the scenery is beautiful, and the puppy is very happy. It is best to deworm the puppy, otherwise it is easy to be bitten by the bug. There is also remember to pick up shit and walk the dog civilized.
When you arrive at Shenmu Lei, you will be very shocked. This is the virgin forest? Is it the grassland? Is it the beautiful mountains? Shenmu Lei scenic spot contains all this, this is a stunning scenic spot, spring, summer, autumn and winter are worth visiting.
