[2025 Xiangcheng Attraction] Travel Guide for Ge'Nyen (Updated Mar)

Genyen South Line, no retreat In addition to the small beauty of Tagong Grassland in western Sichuan, I found a small Switzerland hidden in Litang, a village protected by the Genyen Snow Mountain. ✨Here you can see snow-capped mountains, forests, hot springs and rows of cabins The important point is that this is Ding Zhen’s hometown ⛳ Fire in Ranrikaka Village, Litang, Ganzi Altitude about 3800 🚘Self-driving: Start from Chengdu, follow 318, pass Kangding, and then arrive at Litang Ranrika Village 🌆Accommodation: You can stay at the Genyen Hot Spring Hotel, which is located at the entrance of the village. It is the same hotel as the cabin and is a little expensive. However, there are many other accommodations in Rika Village, which are cheaper, but the conditions are relatively worse. If you like Ding Zhen, you can stay at his uncle's house - the Genyen Prince Hotel. 🌲Nearby attractions ✨ Log cabin It is located on the road from Genyen Town to Ranrika Village, very close to the village. The cabin is great for taking photos. If the weather is good, you can stay here for a night. It seems that you can even see the Milky Way at night. ✨Observation Deck There is an observation deck on the way to the Eye of Genyen, where you can overlook the entire village. If you go early, you can also see the clouds and mist. ✨Eye of Genyen Summer is the dry season, and there is no water in the spring. It will not rain until September. Only by using a drone can you capture the majestic beauty of the spring. ✨Cuopugou A very beautiful lake, backed by snow-capped mountains and surrounded by forests. Under the sunlight, the lake surface is sparkling and extremely beautiful.

Recently, I was amazed by the autumn scenery of Genie Mountain. How can there be such a stunning treasure? There is no entrance fee at present. If you have time, you must go. The healing scenery will make you feel relaxed. On the way, you can see the world and find yourself. - Recommended Check-in Points 📍Genie Mountain This is the 13th goddess of the 24 sacred mountains of Tibetan Buddhism. The golden color reflects the snow-capped mountains, which is very shocking. You can also camp, hike, and ride horses. 📍Genie Eye There is a small round lake lying on the undulating meadow. From the air, it looks like a human pupil. 📍Ranrika Village Ding Zhen's happy hometown is located in the low-lying river valley, surrounded by golden meadows and hills of different heights. 📍New and Old Lenggu Temple The old Lenggu Temple is hidden in the valley like a heart, while the new Lenggu Temple is at the foot of Genie Mountain, where the "Three Treasures of Genie" are also placed. 📍A Tree A tree growing alone at an altitude of more than 4,000 meters, facing the eternal snow-capped mountains. 📍Hupiba The first big river valley to enter the Genie area, the winding water is like the pattern on the back of a tiger, and the yellow-brown meadow looks like a tiger skin from a distance. 📍Hangda Camp It is very suitable for watching the main peak and glacier of Genie Snow Mountain up close, and shooting the golden mountain and starry sky. This grassland is also very beautiful. 📍Retti Camp This is the best viewing point on the west slope of Genie Mountain. It is a huge plateau wetland with a very wide view. - If you decide to go to the south line of Genie Mountain, you must reserve 5–10 days for the trip. This route is far away, and you can't go if you have little time. According to the navigation, start from Chengdu - Genie Mountain - Genie Eye - A Tree - Heishicheng - Cuopugou - Lenggacuo - Xinduqiao - Litang - Haizishan, follow this route, and you can basically understand the beauty of Genie Mountain.

📕Tips ⒈ The weather in western Sichuan is changeable, so be sure to bring clothes for spring, summer, autumn and winter (hats are important) ⒉ The climate in the plateau is very dry, so be sure to bring a mask/body lotion/lip balm ⒊ Most of the B&Bs with beautiful views have few rooms, so be sure to book in advance 4. The conditions of B&Bs vary, so bring disposable items (toilet cover/face towel/bath towel/portable slippers) - 💥 About altitude sickness: ① Glucose (powder) is easy to carry. I soak it directly in a bottle of mineral water to replenish my energy at any time. ② It is recommended to start taking squalene (capsules) one week in advance to increase blood oxygen saturation; I take it with glucose to relieve headaches caused by altitude sickness; it can also be taken when you are stressed/fatigued/dizzy at work (ps: it is not recommended to take Rhodiola during menstruation) ③Oxygen bag (42L) can be filled with oxygen at a nearby hospital. It can be used repeatedly (and is also convenient to carry when not in use) - ⭐ Must bring in Genyen: Food: water, self-heating rice, bread, snacks Items: thick coat, hat, raincoat, power bank Thoughts: ①Hard-mounted off-road vehicle ②Download offline maps in advance ③Fill up the gas ④The flood season of Eye of Genyen is from September to October ⑤A lonely tree round trip 3h Horseback riding 300/person 🌿Finally, I wish everyone a great time in western Sichuan!

I think it should heal everyone who goes there Snow-capped glaciers are just around the corner Under the sunlight The light and shadow are constantly changing It's really a great atmosphere Many people say it looks like Switzerland But I don't think it's inferior to foreign countries at all The Gnie God Mountain 🏔️ is looming in the clouds and mist It's like it should be like in my dreams... This is Chuanxi Gnie A place that is highly recommended to be sure to visit.

🚩Planning to visit Western Sichuan during the National Day holiday? If you're considering a long trip to Genie Mountain, make sure to do your homework! I just got back, and while the grass hasn't fully turned yellow, the scenery is still breathtaking. However, there's a lot to learn about how to make the most of your trip. 📕❗❗ 🤔Those who have been to the southern route of Genie Mountain know that the area revolves around three main villages: Xiazetong Village, Zeba Village, and Gemu Village, whether you go in one direction or the other. Let me introduce the landscapes and attractions of these villages. 💥 Xiazetong Village ✓ Scenic Features: Located beneath the snow-capped mountains, the village offers expansive views that complement the snowy peaks. Every snapshot is a masterpiece. Not far from Xiazetong Village is the Eye of Genie. The village also has natural hot springs, where the warm steam provides comfort and relaxation. The architecture is rich in Tibetan characteristics, and the villagers maintain traditional lifestyles and customs, offering a deep dive into Tibetan culture and life. Zeba Village ✓ Scenic Features: Almost in the middle of the southern route of Genie Mountain, with the Eye of Genie and Lenggu Temple in front and the Hot Ladder Valley and Gemu Village behind. It faces the Genie Glacier directly, making it a prime Tibetan village on the southern route with views in multiple directions. Enjoy flower seas in summer and colorful forests in autumn. ✓ Numerous Check-in Points: There are many spots to explore, including a lone tree, Hangda Camp, Old Lenggu Temple, Stone Forest, Black Lake, caves, and the Zeba Secret Realm. The rich variety of activities can satisfy different exploration needs. Gemu Village ✓ Scenic Features: Like a forgotten fairyland, it is tranquil and peaceful. The wooden cabins are scattered, with smoke curling from the chimneys. Although the Tibetan elders may not speak your language, their warm smiles and nods make you feel especially welcome. ✓ The area around the cabins features vast grasslands, vibrant flower seas, and leisurely grazing cattle and sheep, along with babbling streams. This is my favorite place, where many people set up tents to enjoy the tranquility and beauty of nature. 🙂Finally: ● Gemu Village is more primitive and rustic compared to Zeba Village and Xiazetong Village. However, accommodation is less convenient, so it's recommended to stay in Xiazetong Village or Zeba Village. ● There are no gas stations in Genie Mountain, so remember to refuel whenever you come across a gas station along the way. ⛽ ● The altitude of Genie Mountain is high, and there's no signal, so download offline maps in advance. It's sincerely advised that beginners avoid self-driving and join a small tour group for convenience and ease. ● The road conditions in Genie Mountain are poor, so it's best to choose an off-road vehicle (like Tank 300 or BJ40) for your trip!

I came to Mount Ge'nyen, which is comparable to foreign mountains. Although the sea of flowers was no longer visible, I was still shocked by its beauty when I arrived. The scenery along the way made me feel as if I was in Xinjiang. The rugged and difficult road could not cover its beauty. I was just a little bit short of seeing the sunrise over the golden mountain, but it was blocked by clouds, and I couldn't help feeling regretful. But because of this, I look forward to coming again next time. The beauty here is unique and unforgettable. I will bring this regret and look forward to a more perfect encounter with it next time.

I personally went to the Genyen South Line. Unlike the Sichuan West Loop Line, my feelings during the entire Genyen South Line were: It is really the ceiling of the beautiful scenery of western Sichuan! ! ! Every frame is a wallpaper-level scenery, and every shot is very good❗❗❗ But if you don't make a strategy, you will really step into a lot of pitfalls😤 My sisters promised me that we would go during the holidays, so let’s read this guide first! ! ! - [Travel Method] ❌❌Sisters who have no driving experience in plateaus and mountainous areas should not consider self-driving, especially sisters from other provinces, really don’t consider it The roads here are winding and mountainous, and some parts of the road are very bad, and there is no signal on some parts of the journey! ! If you want to go to Daocheng or Siguniang Mountain, you said you want to drive yourself, which is fine, but it's better to go through the southern line of Genyen. Honestly, I suggest you go with a small group or find a tour leader. - 【Beautiful scenery along the way】 🌟 Eye of Genyen: A very beautiful lake. It is not as beautiful as the one taken by drone. If you have a drone, it is recommended to bring it with you. 🌟 Xiazetong Village: Tibetan villages and hot spring villages, where you can watch the beautiful sunset and experience local life and customs 🌟Genie cabin This is a small cabin hidden in the mountains and forests, surrounded by green trees and fresh air. Take a walk in the forest and feel the tranquility and harmony of nature, and your tired body and mind will be relaxed. 🌟Cuopugou: Taking photos under the snow-capped mountains and lakes is really amazing! 🌟 Zeba Village: At the foot of Mount Genyen, there is a paradise with golden meadows and glaciers in autumn. 🌟 Fish Roe If the weather is good, it is recommended to go to Yuzixi to watch the sunset. Surrounded by the 360° Gongga Snow Mountain and Yala Snow Mountain, the sunset is super romantic - 【How to play in Genyen】 ❤If you are going to Genyen South Line for the first time and don’t want to make a guide~ Choose this 2-4 person Tank 300 off-road vehicle hardcore off-road pure play small group to set off, worry-free throughout the whole journey ✌ Just have fun 🥳 Have fun taking pictures~ D1: Chengdu - Honghai Lake - Yuzixi - Xinduqiao D2: Xinduqiao - Eighteen Bends of the Heavenly Road - Litang - Genie Town D3: Genyen Town - Zeba Village - Glacier 1 Tree - Genyenye Hot Spring - Xiazetong Village D4: Xiazetong - Eye of Genyen - Xinleng Ancient Temple - Tiejiangshan Pass - Litang - Xinduqiao D5: Xinduqiao - Qingrao Mountain - Zheduo Mountain Pass - Chengdu

Beautiful scenery along the way: Fish Roe: 360-degree view of the snow-capped mountains, you can see the golden mountain in the sun of Gongga Snow Mountain and the nearby Yala Snow Mountain🌄When the sun sets, the golden sunlight shines on the mountains, and the whole scene is dyed with a layer of golden glow☀ Zeba Village: In summer, you can see snow-capped mountains and sea of ​​flowers in the same frame.

A list of items to bring is enough: thicker outerwear, clothes that look good in photos, toiletries, drinks and snacks, oxygen cylinders, motion sickness medicine, mobile phones and other electronic products 3. The road conditions in Genyen are really not very good. You should prepare a spare tire for your vehicle. There are always people on the Internet saying that you can also go there with a sedan. I can only say that if you are not good at driving, be careful that the chassis is low and you will directly fall on the shell crater~ As for altitude sickness, the altitude along the way is constantly fluctuating, so don't rely on oxygen tanks! ! ! Try not to run, jump or play when you first pass the time. Excessive exercise will increase your body's need for oxygen.

Join a small group of 2-8 people with a professional driver, it's free and worry-free, and you can also do short hikes, which is very interesting !! Travel tips Time: Personally recommend July-September, the flower season in Genie is particularly long, it has already turned green this year, but the flowers have not yet bloomed, and there is no water in the Eye of Genie Altitude sickness: The average altitude of Genie is higher than the average altitude of western Sichuan, so alleviating altitude sickness here is very important. Do not run or jump, and try not to wash your hair or bathe Clothes: Thick clothes, thick clothes! Be sure to have at least one down jacket or a jacket with a down liner of equivalent thickness. The entire trip in Genie has relatively high altitudes, and the weather changes greatly between day and night, so keeping warm can greatly prevent altitude sickness Snacks: Coke, bread, and sausages are my most commonly brought and useful items, and since western Sichuan is dry, you can bring some fruits

Dear electronic girlfriends! Genyen is so popular this year! Hard control for the whole summer The alpine flower sea under the snow-capped mountains is even more beautiful. The atmosphere is really great. It is important to find the right location. Today I will share the location and itinerary with you sisters, and also provide tips for taking photos. I hope you can get beautiful pictures Zeba Village It is also called Chachongxi Village. You can navigate there directly. Continue walking inside from Xiazetong Village.

During an interview, Ding Zhen said that the sea of ​​flowers in Zeba Village is very beautiful, which is the Laqing Sea of ​​Flowers, the essence of the flower sea on the southern line of Genyen. It is recommended to stay here for more time. Hamda Camp No matter which route you take to Genyen, the Hamda Camp is a must-visit spot! ! It is really hard to resist the alpine meadows under the snow-capped mountains. Behind a large forest are the remains of ancient glaciers. A tree and a lonely cabin An undefined tree, it is a tree that grows alone at an altitude of 4,800 meters! Where the biosphere defines it it shouldn't grow! A spot with a full sense of atmosphere and vitality. Take a motorcycle up from Genyen Town and you can see a tree and a lonely cabin next to it. Gemu Village Flower Sea From Genyen Town to Batang, cross the Laozelongba Pass, turn right at the fork in the road and about 16 kilometers away you will reach the flower sea of ​​Gemu Village. Don't stay on the roadside, but in the canyon above the village. It feels like a little Switzerland.

Eye of Genyen Next to the Eye of Genyen is a herdsman's house, opposite is the Genyen Snow Mountain and a sea of ​​flowers. If you are lucky, you may even see Tibetans grazing their horses.
