[2025 Kangding Attraction] Travel Guide for Jiagenba Town (Updated Mar)

#grassland #100waysoftravel Nestled in the expansive beauty of the Chinese countryside, my travel experience at 甲根坝, a picturesque location known for its lush grasslands and serene river, was truly one of a kind. One of the highlights of this visit was the uniquely delightful experience of enjoying an afternoon tea set up as a camping activity right by the river. The journey to 甲根坝 was as peaceful as it was scenic, winding through verdant landscapes that promised adventure and tranquility. Upon arrival, the vast expanse of green, coupled with the gently flowing river, set the perfect stage for a relaxing afternoon. The setup for our afternoon tea was thoughtfully arranged on the grassy banks, with comfortable seating and a low table laden with a variety of teas and local snacks. The tranquility of the location was enhanced by the soft sounds of the river’s flow and the gentle rustle of the grass in the breeze. As we sipped on aromatic teas, we enjoyed an assortment of local treats that included both sweet and savory options, each complementing the serene environment. The simplicity of the setup, combined with the natural beauty surrounding us, created a feeling of being at one with nature. The grasslands around us were vibrant and alive, stretching out under the vast sky. After tea, we took the opportunity to explore the area, walking along the riverbank and through the fields. The peaceful environment was occasionally punctuated by the distant sounds of local wildlife, adding to the sense of being in a remote and untouched part of the world. As the sun began to dip lower in the sky, casting golden hues over the landscape, the peacefulness of the setting deepened. We packed up our tea setup and lingered a while longer, not wanting to leave the relaxing embrace of 甲根坝’s natural beauty. This experience of afternoon tea camping by the river at 甲根坝 was not just a meal, but a moment of connection with the environment, providing a profound sense of relaxation and a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It was a reminder of the joys of simplicity and the beauty of slowing down to savor the moment. #TravelChina #OutdoorTea #RiverCamping #GrasslandAdventures #NatureEscape #PeacefulRetreat #CountrysideCharm

If you want to see Gongga’s true form, you have to wait for a whole day. The weather on the plateau is really unpredictable. The weather forecast said it would be sunny, but when I woke up I found it was cloudy. I decided to try my luck at the secret place called Tinong.

This week, we chased autumn in western Sichuan and stayed in Jiagenba Town for a few days. We were so reluctant to leave. This village, like a paradise, is really too lovable! Golden leaves, gurgling streams, leisurely cattle, and unique Tibetan houses, whether camping or living here, are all beautiful scenery. Every day is particularly comfortable, it satisfies all my yearnings for autumn. 🚗Navigation guide: Jiagenba Town. It takes 5 hours to drive from Chengdu, the road conditions are good, and the car is stress-free. In Jiagenba Township, I met a kitten squatting on the grass slope, staring at the colorful forest in the distance. At that moment, my heart was strongly healed. The state of life that has been pursued hard, isn't it just like this? On the way from Jiagenba Township to Zariku Village, the poplar trees by the river have turned yellow. Find the right angle by the river by the roadside, and you can get a beautiful autumn scene. The autumn scenery in Riche Village is beautiful. We went to the popular shop Song Dun Ni Ji, which costs 50 yuan per person. The garden is very small, the sheets are drying outside, there are many people and noisy, messy, really not recommended. In fact, there are many small and popular places for photography and camping near the homestay. Every place is very out of the picture. Continue from Song Dun Ni Ji, you will see the cement road connected to the dirt road at the end. Enter "Nida Ka Ranch" from here, 20 yuan per car. There is a dirt road of about 4 kilometers along the creek, and the car can drive 2 kilometers. When we went there on the weekend, there were no tourists inside. Camping is available along the creek and grass slope, the scenery is beautiful, highly recommended, full of surprises! There is a lawn outside the couple tree homestay in Jiagenba Township, and you can camp on the lawn for free if you live here. Enjoy afternoon tea with small yaks and kittens. The few plateau apple trees next to it are full of red apples, which can be picked for free, super sweet! When you come to western Sichuan to shoot autumn scenery, remember to bring a telephoto! In the evening before sunset, the mother drove the yak home. Encountering a group of yaks on the road, and the poplar trees by the stream like oil paintings, every moment makes people happy. 🕘Best shooting time: around 8-10 o'clock and 15-17 o'clock, the light is relatively oblique at this time, very suitable for taking pictures. The light is strong at noon. It is expected that the yellow leaf viewing period will last until November 15.

In late autumn, in low-altitude areas, except for the coolness in the morning and evening, you still need to wear short sleeves at noon. But in high-altitude areas, these days, it can no longer be described as cool. On the way to Jiajinba, the rain outside did not diminish, and the depression in my heart grew: what should I do if it rains all day today, what should I do if the weather is like this in the next few days... The more I think about it, the more annoyed I am, so I saw a suspension bridge by the road. I stopped the car, snow began to fall in the sky, the snowflakes fell slowly, soaking the entire mountain forest, the prayer flags on the bridge and the flowing water under the bridge were silent, allowing the curtain of falling snow to slowly surround them... It's so beautiful. I am completely immersed in the current world, and my heart no longer has any anxiety. I will gladly accept everything. Just like Rastignac's inner declaration to Paris: "Come on, let's compete!" The snow only fell for a while and turned into drizzle. When passing through Xinduqiao, there were several sections of poplar trees on both sides of the road, which were dense and golden, and they were beautiful even on rainy days. Familiar streets, familiar gold, and familiar tourists blocking the road for photos flashed before my eyes. I didn't stop because Jiajinba was ahead. Stepping on the old G248, one mountain after another, one colorful forest after another.

Tibetan homestay, large barley fields, streams flowing down from the snow-capped mountains. If you're not into checking in at popular places, there are many places along the road where you can camp and play. A cup of coffee, a pot of milk tea, and a beautiful afternoon...

Relax, take your time, and don't rush. This is how you should spend your Mid-Autumn Festival! Western Sichuan Camping Guide🏕 Destination: Jiagenba Camping in Xinduqiao Estimated time: 3 days during the Mid-Autumn Festival Guide: Day 1: Depart from Chengdu - Luding Expressway Exit - Zheduo Mountain - Yuzixi Starry Sky Campsite 1. After exiting the Luding Expressway, you can visit the Luding Bridge and learn about the Red Army's heroic feat of capturing the Luding Bridge! ⭐Parking fee: CNY20; entrance fee: CNY5/person; time required: 30 minutes; you can have lunch at the food street. 2. Depart from Luding and pass Zheduo Mountain. ⭐Zheduo Mountain is the first pass in Kangba, with an altitude of over 4,000 meters. It takes about 1 hour and is free. 3. Depart from Zheduo Mountain and navigate directly to the Yuzixi Starry Sky Campsite for camping! ⭐First navigate to Yuzixi Village 3, then navigate to the Starry Sky Campsite. You can enjoy the sunset, starry sky, and sunrise. Camping is free, CNY30/person (free for teachers, military personnel, etc., no verification required). Day 2: Yuzixi - Jiagenba 1. You can navigate directly to the Ankang Starry Sky Campsite. ⭐This campsite is located in Jiagenba and has hot water and clean toilets. CNY70/tent (more expensive than other campsites), but the environment is really good. There are wooden platforms and lawns to choose from, and you can choose to stay in a tent. The owner can also take you to see marmots, and you can have barbecue at night. 2. After settling in, you can rest and then head to Riju Village. ⭐Riju Village has beautiful scenery along the way. You can park and take photos by the river, or set up a small table and have tea or coffee. As for the Songdonije recommended by other bloggers, it is not necessary to go there. After all, I am not very willing to accept the act of charging CNY20 for blocking the road with a wooden pole. 3. Return to Riju Village and go to the Sky Garden to see the sunrise over the mountains and take photos and drink coffee. ⭐CNY25/car. The road is dusty, but it's worth it when you reach the top. You can see the snow-capped mountains from the top (as for the sunrise over the mountains, it depends on your luck). Buy a cup of coffee and sit down to enjoy the relaxed feeling of a day trip to the camp. For me, it's more meaningful than taking a dangerous motorcycle to another viewing platform. Day 3: Jiagenba - Xinduqiao - Chengdu 1. Since you're already here, why not visit Xinduqiao and experience what it's like to be a photographer's paradise? ⭐It's free here, and you can go to some photo spots and then have some local yak beef soup pot. Although the taste is not very special. 2. After strolling around, drive back to Chengdu. If time permits, you can also visit Tagong Grassland and Gumnong Village. The above is just the route I have personally taken. I hope it will be helpful to netizens!

Particularly, its strap design allows me to carry it on my back when I feel hot during the hike, convenient and lightweight. The jacket also has hook designs for hanging items like water bottles and sunglasses, freeing up my hands. The hat is also detachable.
