Back from Western Sichuan, here’s a heads-up for sisters going in November

Double Bridge Groove - Jade Rabbit Peak, super beautiful photo spot! 🏔🍃 Of course I have to recommend it to everyone! The scenery here is crazy beautiful🔥! It’s perfectly suited whether you’re new to travel or an experienced adventurer. The best thing is that the transportation is convenient enough, want to easily and freely walk without difficulty, definitely do not have to be afraid of hands and feet! If you encounter good weather, the camera casually clicks on the postcard feel, sooo beautiful! The entire Double Bridge Groove Scenic Area, exploration takes about 2-4 hours, easy to take a shuttle bus tour - the highest point although there will be a little alpine reaction, but do not worry, usually not serious. You drive from Chengdu, it takes 4-5 hours to get there, on the way you will cross 3500 meters above sea level, remember to be prepared to prevent high altitude! When autumn comes, the forest fades super fantastic, green and yellow intertwined, no human touch, fully blending into the embrace of nature. Snow-capped mountains and glaciers + blue sky and white clouds + beautiful trees, even breathing chills! (📸) 📍Double Bridge Groove Scenic Area Address: Within the territory of Siguniang Mountain Town, Xiaojin County, Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province Opening hours: 08:00 - 17:00 Want to escape the world and rest and have beautiful photos to harvest, the double bridge ditch is really perfect! Absolutely push ~~
