Not Gnie! Not Litang! When going to Western Sichuan, this is my top recommendation!

Did you know, in Western Sichuan, there is a place called "Jiarong," a low-key name hiding extraordinary scenery. From a bird's-eye view of Western Sichuan, the dense mountain peaks are the folds of the earth rising, layer upon layer, running north to south. And Jiarong lies deep within these folds. The mountains there hide meadows, forests, and ancient glaciers. The waters there wind past pine forests and through villages, clear as if never touched by dust. The villages there quietly grow at the foot of the mountains. The days there are slow and leisurely, like a secluded paradise isolated from the world... To explore this lesser-known corner of Tibet, our product team conducted on-site research and proudly launched the "Light Wild Jiarong" route: Light means a relaxed pace, no rushing the itinerary; Wild means avoiding tourist spots and venturing into pristine mountains and pastures. With enough leisure and comfort, we delve deep between the mountains and villages: From snowy mountain pastures to mountain hot springs, from hidden ancient villages to century-old temples, and to the Lixiaolu, known as the "Duku Highway" of Western Sichuan, witnessing snow-capped peaks, forests, valleys, glaciers, and meadows... An in-depth exploration to awaken your new imagination of Western Sichuan. 🏞 Pastures: At Erguxi, we enter the tranquil depths of Western Sichuan’s forests, with no crowds, no noise, only the sound of wind, cattle and sheep, streams, and our hiking footsteps. We traverse this alpine pasture, with soft meadows, fragrant woods, and silent distant mountains. This is the most pristine face of Western Sichuan, deeply moving us. ♨️ Hot Springs: We specially arranged a stay at Gergou Hot Spring Hotel, enjoying a private infinity pool. Soaking there, you can watch clouds roll and mountains fade in the distance. Nothing soothes a tired heart like plateau spring water. 🛣 Roads: On the third day, we drive through Lixiaolu, a hidden route recommended by locals in Western Sichuan, almost condensing the entire landscape of Western Sichuan, with breathtaking views all along the way. We don’t rush, stopping as we go to explore "wild spots," camping amid the scenery and enjoying a meal. This is the true way to travel Western Sichuan. 🏡 Ancient Village: Selong is a quiet ancient village in the Jiarong Tibetan area. There is no commercialization here, only authentic Tibetan flavor. We enjoy a lively hotpot meal, quietly listen to prayer flags fluttering in front of the ancient temple, take a gentle hike through pine forests, watching sunlight softly fall on grass tips. Everything is unhurried and just right. Over five days and four nights, we gently step into the utopia called "Jiarong," and let comfort gently enter our hearts. This autumn, as the colorful forests begin to dye the valleys, we invite you to join us, to step into Western Sichuan, to step into Jiarong.
