#tripflyingtoChina Switzerland Dragon Land Come see the glacier, the second viewpoint after going up to the highest point of Siguniang Mountain (Siguniangshan). The park car will stop for us to take pictures at each point, from the highest point down. The beauty of this 5 A level national park varies in each season, but it is beautiful in every season. The weather up there is quite cold all year round because it is almost 5,000 meters above sea level. Travel recommendations for each season Autumn (September - November) The weather starts to get colder. It is the most beautiful time, no less than summer because you will get to see the leaves change color. Red trees alternate with golden yellow, reflecting on the river, clear sky, contrasting with the beautiful view of the snowy mountains. 🌤 Summer (June - August) is the most recommended season to visit. The nights are cold, but the days are quite warm. You can hike comfortably. See beautiful flowers blooming all over the valley. Take beautiful pictures from every angle. See the clear, cool water flowing in the stream, which is melted by the snow on the mountain. You can also go down to play. Spring (March - May) It is still cold. Snow starts to melt. Flowers start to bloom. Contrast with the snow-capped mountains 🗻 Winter (December - February) Snow covers the entire area until it is completely white. The lake turns into ice. #triptravelchina #placestovisitchengdu

Winter travel in Sichuan and Tibet is an unforgettable experience, but it also requires some preparation and precautions. In the Sichuan-Tibet region, the winter weather is harsh, the roads may be icy, and there may even be blizzards. Here are some suggestions and precautions: 1. Prepare sufficient winter equipment: including warm clothing, windproof and waterproof jackets and pants, anti-skid shoes, gloves, hats, scarves, etc. Ensure that the clothes are warm and dry. 2. Choose transportation carefully: If you plan to drive or take a bus, be sure to understand the road conditions and weather. In winter, the road conditions may be very difficult, especially in high-altitude areas. Consider hiring a local experienced driver or joining a tour group led by a senior driver. 3. Prevention of altitude sickness: The altitude in the Sichuan-Tibet region is high, and winter is more likely to cause altitude sickness. It is recommended to adapt for at least one or two days before going, and you can also ask the doctor for advice on preventing and relieving altitude sickness. 4. Ensure food and accommodation safety: Choose reliable accommodation and catering services. In high-altitude areas, it is very important to find a warm place to stay. 5. Respect local culture and traditions: The Sichuan-Tibet region has a rich culture and tradition, understand and respect the local religious beliefs and customs. The most important thing is to do a detailed investigation and planning before traveling to the Sichuan-Tibet region in winter, to ensure safety and comfort

A place to practice trekking in the Himalayas and a place with heavenly scenery, Sikunyang Mountain is a mountain located in the central western part of Sichuan Province, China. It is such a wonderful place that some say it is better than the Himalayas. The green alpine meadows, waterfalls, and clouds that come up close are a place that truly deserves the word "spectacular." You can hire a porter to carry your luggage and provide you with food from the village below, and as you trek through the alpine mountains, you will feel completely at one with nature. I highly recommend it to those who love mountains and nature. #China #Sichuan #AbaZhangZhuang Autonomous Region #Sikunyang Mountain #Trekking #ChinaTravel #MountainHiking

I went to the Panda Research Institute, where many of my favorite pandas are kept. Sichuan Province is a big city with many buildings with innovative designs. After a short drive, we arrived at the panda research facility. There are pandas everywhere you look. They are kept by size, which is really soothing. They just eat bamboo and climb trees and fall down. It's one of the places I want to visit again. #Panda #Sichuan Province #Panda #Theme Park #Support Tourism

Exploring the Taoist culture on Qingcheng Mountain is considered as the birthplace of Taoism and one of the most important Taoist centers in China. It can be a long hike up to the top but you pass by beautiful lakes, waterfalls and plenty of nature. For the physically less active there is also a chance to pay for a cable car ride but if you have the ability to walk, I highly recommend it. You can spend a full day here and just let all your thoughts fade, refresh and re energize yourself. There are food opportunities along the way and also refreshments stops. For sure you won't get bored! #urbanexplorer#qingmingtravel#roadtrip

Huanglong Scenic Area, located in Songpan County, Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, is a renowned World Natural Heritage Site in China. In winter, Huanglong's crystal-clear waters intertwine with the snow, creating a dreamlike, fairytale-like atmosphere. The scenic area blends alpine snowscapes, limestone terraces, and ancient Tibetan and Qiang culture, leaving every corner captivating. Winter is particularly popular, as fewer visitors allow for a tranquil experience of natural beauty, making it a perfect destination for nature lovers and photography enthusiasts. Recommended Itinerary: It is generally recommended to enter the area at 8:00 AM, the morning opening time, and follow the main trail. First, take the Huanglong Scenic Area Cableway directly to the summit (55 Pingsong Road). This will save energy, and especially in winter, it's recommended to avoid long walks through the snow. Enjoy the magnificent snow scenery along the cableway. Upon arrival, walk to the core attraction, the Five-Colored Pond Observation Deck (Huanglong Scenic Area Five-Colored Pond), to admire the plateau scenery and Huanglong's uniquely colored pools. The snow-capped poolside creates a magical and captivating experience, making it a must-see. Finally, descend the mountain along the main trail, stopping to admire the travertine waterfalls, spiral pools, and emerald pools along the way. Must-see attractions & photo spots: 1. Huanglong Five-Colored Pools: Under the winter snow, the colors of the Five-Colored Pools are even more vibrant, and the lake surface resembles emerald snow, creating a stunning photo opportunity. 2. Huanglong Cableway: Take the cableway for a bird's-eye view of the entire snowy valley, enjoying a unique perspective and excellent photo opportunities along the way. 3. Natural Scenic Spots, Such as Travertine Waterfalls and Spiral Pools: There are many beautiful scenic spots along the way, so you can stop and take photos at any time. Tips: 1. Huanglong is at a high altitude (approximately 3,000 meters). It is recommended to start training a week in advance, bring anti-altitude sickness medication, get enough rest, and avoid strenuous exercise. 2. Winter temperatures are low, and the temperature difference on the mountain is significant. Please prepare a down jacket, hat, gloves, and other warm clothing. Ski boots are essential to avoid falls on the snow. 3. Maintain your energy: If you have limited stamina, take the cable car up the mountain. Walking down is a more relaxing option. 4. Smoking and open flames are prohibited throughout the scenic area. Please observe these regulations. 5. It is recommended to enter the mountain in the morning, as it gets dark early in winter. Returning in the afternoon is safer. Notes: - Tickets are 170 yuan per person purchased on-site. Reserving in advance can save time. - Opening hours are 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM (last admission at 4:00 PM) from August 4th to October 31st, and 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM (last admission at 4:00 PM) from November 1st to May 31st (the following year). Please choose a suitable time to visit based on the season. - Signal reception may be poor in the mountains, so it is recommended to check transportation information and routes in advance to avoid delays. Huanglong in winter is magnificent and magical. In addition to breathing in the pure plateau air, you can also enjoy the most natural blend of colors, a breathtaking sight not to be missed in western Sichuan. Whether you're a photography, mountaineering, or cultural enthusiast, this place promises unforgettable memories!

Explosive! This "Asia's largest table mountain" hides divine experiences, sea of clouds, waterfalls, and adorable beasts all for you! "You think Sichuan only has Jiuzhaigou and Emei Mountain? Wrong! In Hongya County, Meishan, there is a 'Sky Table' spoiled by clouds and mist—Wawu Mountain! Here, not only is there the world's largest area of original fir forest, but also one of the world's highest waterfalls, Lanxi Waterfall, and you might even encounter the 'national treasure-level cutie,' the red panda! Just rolled back from the mountain, carrying a phone full of beautiful photos and heart-pounding memories, I’m here to tell you what a 'must-check-in in this lifetime' fairyland-level trip really means!" 1. Sea of Clouds Cable Car: A 5D heart-pounding experience through clouds and mist Starting from Jinhua Bridge Visitor Center, take a 30-minute panoramic cable car straight to the summit. This journey is like a "roller coaster in the sky." When the cable car breaks through the last layer of thin fog, the view suddenly opens up: the sea of clouds surges like waves beneath your feet, distant mountains appear like floating islands, and fir trees topped with snow peek through the cloud gaps. Key tips: • Best time: 7-9 AM when the fog is thickest; recommend queuing an hour early to catch the first cable car • Photo trick: Use your phone’s slow-motion to capture the moment the cable car breaks through the clouds, caption it "Tearing through cotton candy at 3000 meters high" • Hidden gem: There’s a "Cloud Viewing Platform" halfway up the mountain; the driver sometimes stops for 10 minutes—rush to the railing for silhouette shots! 2. Lanxi’s Three Wonders: Waterfall, plank road, and adorable beasts triple hit 1. Lanxi Waterfall: A sound and light show of the Milky Way falling from the sky Hike 1.5 km to the waterfall viewing platform at 2830 meters elevation. The 1040-meter-high water crashes down the cliff, and the mist instantly cools the air by 10°C! Must-try: • Stand directly under the waterfall and have a friend shoot from a 45-degree side angle for a stunning "hit by the Milky Way" photo • Take a deep breath! The mist is rich in negative oxygen ions, cleansing your lungs like a forest spa • Listen carefully: Close your eyes and hear the roar hiding the waterfall’s "heartbeat frequency" 2. Lanxi Cliffside Plank Road: An adrenaline-pumping walk in the clouds This 2.8 km cliffside plank road has a 1000-meter vertical drop on the left and misty fir forests on the right. Survival guide: • Wear non-slip shoes! Some sections are slippery; hiking poles recommended • Don’t panic if "Brother Monkey blocks your way"; put away snacks in advance—they only snatch, don’t harm • Must-shoot spot: The "Sea of Clouds Gate" stone frame mid-way, framing the mountains like an ink painting 3. Cute beast sightings: Red pandas and squirrels’ healing triple hit Between Yuanyang Pool and Gufoping, there’s a 60% chance to spot wild red pandas! Observation tips: • Most active before 9 AM and after 4 PM • Keep a 10-meter distance; they might slowly climb to your feet • Squirrels are bolder! Bring some nuts, and they’ll jump onto your hand to eat 3. Divine experiences: From wuxia drama scenes to social media showstoppers 1. Wuxia film set real experience At the "Secret Pool" below the waterfall, wear Hanfu and hold an oil-paper umbrella, shoot a "Lingbo Weibu" (light stepping on water) video at 0.5x speed with the soundtrack "A Laugh in the Vast Sea," guaranteed to go viral on Douyin! 2. Creative check-in spots • "Hiking challenge success" arch: Pose with a trophy + waterfall background, caption "Conquered Asia’s largest table mountain" • Fun photo frame: Frame the sea of clouds in a heart shape, write "Put the sky into your heart" • Wawu Memory Wall: Use a Polaroid to stick photos, write "In 2024, I’m waiting for you in the clouds" 3. Rainy day alternatives If it rains, don’t rush to leave! Rain-only experiences: • Wear a raincoat on the plank road, shoot dreamy "Cloud Fairy" photos • Drink ginger tea at the visitor center and watch the "Sea of Clouds live stream" on the monitor • Join a craft class and make "Wawu Mountain bookmarks" from fallen leaves 4. Practical tips: Avoid 90% of tourist traps 1. Clothing guide • Big temperature difference at the summit! Bring a thin down jacket in summer, wear a windbreaker in winter • Rain essentials: waterproof shoe covers + foldable raincoat (sold for 30 RMB each in the park) • Color advice: Wear bright-colored jackets for better photos in the sea of clouds 2.
