Not Switzerland! It's the 18°C summer in Western Sichuan!

Honestly, if you don't plan ahead, you might not want to visit Western Sichuan a second time! Traffic jams are one thing, but there's also altitude sickness! The weather is both sunny and dry, and the rain comes unexpectedly! When it's hot, the UV index is extremely high; when it's cold, you'll be shivering. If Western Sichuan weren't so photogenic, I might have had a breakdown 😫 【Must-bring items for Western Sichuan】 💢 Oxygen bottles: 60% of Western Sichuan's roads are above 3,000 meters, and at the Zheduo Mountain Pass (4,298 meters), you'll be gasping for air after just a few steps. 💢 Portable raincoat: More practical than a windbreaker! During the rainy season (July-August), there's a 70% chance of rain. A raincoat that covers your backpack is a lifesaver during hikes. 💢 Thermos: Believe it! Temperatures can drop from 30°C in Kangding to just 5°C at Zimei Pass. For every 1,000-meter increase in altitude, the temperature drops by 6°C. A sip of hot water can be a lifesaver. 💢 Cash: Bring around 500 RMB! In places like Tagong Grassland and Lenggacuo, the network is poor, and you might not be able to use mobile payment for yak jerky or butter tea. 💢 Glucose oral solution: Proven to be more effective than Rhodiola. Drinking one bottle can alleviate dizziness. 💢 Sunglasses: Not just for style! UV radiation in Western Sichuan is three times stronger than in the plains. From noon to 3 PM, direct sunlight can be blinding, and the snow's reflection is especially harmful to your eyes. Without sunglasses, you won't dare look up. 💢 Trekking poles: A must for hikers! The long trail in Daocheng Yading spans 10 km, with altitudes rising from 3,700 to 4,100 meters. Bring foldable ones. 💢 Sunscreen: At 4,000 meters altitude, the UV index can exceed 12. Don't forget to apply it to areas like behind your ears and the backs of your hands. 🚗【6-day Western Sichuan itinerary】 Day 1: Chengdu - Maobiliang Viewing Platform - Siguniang Scenic Area - Danba Day 2: Yala Snow Mountain Scenic Area - Moxi Park - Yuzixi - Yajiang Day 3: Tianlu Eighteen Bends - Tu'er Mountain - Daocheng White Pagoda - Daocheng Pasture - Shangri-La Town Day 4: Daocheng Yading Day Tour - Shangri-La Town Day 5: Haizi Mountain - Litang - Thousand-house Tibetan Village - Xinduqiao Day 6: Tagong Grassland - Muya Monastery - Gedilamu - Chengdu ⭕️ Why choose us? ✅ Specializing in high-end travel with carefully selected accommodations ✅ Private customization with flexible itineraries ✅ Includes all scenic area tickets and shuttle buses ✅ Local experienced drivers and guides with high-end business vehicles ✅ Transparent pricing with no sales pitches or hidden costs 👉 If you want to travel to Western Sichuan without planning and prefer a private customized tour, feel free to click below to inquire for more details!
