Underrated Autumn Secret in Western Sichuan · Yala Snow Mountain (Collector's Guide, Recommended to Read After Bookmarking)

📍Underrated Autumn Secret in Western Sichuan · Yala Snow Mountain (Collector's Guide, Recommended to Read After Bookmarking) ✨Why must you come? 1️⃣ Colorful forest density ≥ 200% of Shuangqiaogou, every shot looks like a Windows desktop! 2️⃣ Snow mountain within ≤ 50m, visual impact = "Mini Everest Base Camp" 3️⃣ The alpine lake "Yala Youcuo" on the summit comes with a Tiffany blue filter, same as Dangling Ridge + even closer! 4️⃣ Autumn exclusive 300 people/day, private-style photo shoot, no need for filters~ 🚗 How to play? 09:00 Scenic area gate → Sightseeing bus (30min/shift, remember to grab the right side seat!) 09:40 First stop "Colorful Forest Valley" 🍁 (Don’t get off! Driver stops only 5min, take photos through the window) 10:20 Final stop "Snow Mountain Pasture" → Choose horseback riding or hiking - Horseback riding: 40min one way, 💰80/person, beware of "horse manure fragrance" warning ⚠️ - Hiking: gravel road + 450m ascent, about 1.5h, recommend knee pads + trekking poles 12:00 Arrive at "Yala Youcuo" 🏔️, snow mountain reflection + surrounded by colorful forest, lunch with self-heating hot pot tastes better! 15:00 Must descend! Last sightseeing bus at 16:00, miss it and you have to stay in herders’ wooden house (no signal, no hot water) 📸 Photo spots - Snow Mountain Pasture: use yaks as foreground, shoot epic snow mountain road photos - Yala Youcuo: go around to the right small hill, low angle to capture snow mountain + lake reflection - Colorful Forest Tunnel: second turn of sightseeing bus, continuous shooting mode + lower window by 15cm, full cinematic vibe! ⚠️ Pitfall guide × Sightseeing bus "seat reservation" trick: solo travelers queue 10min early, refuse group cutting in line! × Mobile signal: no signal on the summit for 5 hours, inform your partner/boss in advance! × Gravel road shared with horse caravan: wear anti-slip shoes + gaiters, avoid light-colored pants! × Scenic area only has simple toilets & instant noodles, bring wet wipes + self-heating meals! 🎒 Gear list Windbreaker + fleece + sunglasses + sunscreen (altitude 4400m, UV ×3) Power bank ×2 (for photos + drone, no charging spots) Trash bag (such a beautiful place, please take your trash back!) 🎫 Tickets + sightseeing bus: 90 + 90 = 💰180 🕒 Best time: 10.15-10.30 peak colorful forest, enter before 8:00 = private experience 📌 One sentence summary "Scenery first-class, facilities 18th-class," but for this hidden autumn beauty, it’s worth it! 👇🏻Tell me in the comments: Would you accept a "wild" experience for such pristine scenery with few people?
