The matcha green secret realm of Western Sichuan—Maga Ditch

In the mysterious and enchanting Western Sichuan, there is a place that exists like a secret realm—Maga Ditch. The scenery here is beautiful with few people, making it an extremely ideal travel destination choice. It takes about 6 hours to drive from Chengdu to reach the entrance of the Maga Ditch scenic area. The whole trek is about 10 kilometers, and it takes approximately 2 hours to reach the beautiful Moon Lake. During this trekking process, you might as well slow down and immerse your body and mind in the scenery along the way. The highest altitude here reaches up to 4200 meters. Although I usually exercise, I still suffer quite severely from altitude sickness. Make sure to keep warm, and be sure to bring a down jacket. In terms of food, there are many delicious Sichuan dishes to choose from along the way, which are tasty and affordably priced. Friends who like spicy food can freely walk into a restaurant and enjoy the feast of delicious food. As for accommodation, you can choose to stay in Maerkang or in the homes of local residents in Maga Ditch, where the accommodation conditions in Maerkang are relatively better. Maga Ditch is a relatively niche attraction in the Western Sichuan region. Even during the holiday season, there won't be too many crowds. However, it has all the stunning scenery of Western Sichuan, which can be described as all-encompassing. Remember to bring an umbrella when trekking, in case you encounter rainy weather and feel cold, and also bring some snacks and fruits, such as oranges, bananas, etc. We walked slowly, and I only had a slight case of altitude sickness, so be sure to drink plenty of hot water! If you are still struggling with not knowing where to go for a trip, then come to Maga Ditch in Western Sichuan and experience its unique charm for yourself!
