The first stop in Western Sichuan is Xinduqiao, known as a paradise for photographers, but little do people know that just an hour's drive past Xinduqiao lies a beautiful village. Here, there are streams, snow-capped mountains, and Tibetan-style villages. Right at the doorstep of each home is a bridge over flowing water, free from the noisy crowds, no need to queue and jostle, undisturbed, quiet, and lovely. Address: Navigate to Jia Gen Ba Ri Che Village. The whole journey is on a concrete road, accessible by sedan. The meadow stream, like a forest village from a utopian world, offers beautiful scenery all along the village. A stream runs through the entire village, making it a picturesque spot for photography, where one can capture the essence of 'small bridge and flowing water' while standing on the bridge. Ri Che Village, with its streams and wooden bridges as well as wooden swings, has a large grassland, perfect for both photography and camping. Ri Ou Village has Tibetan-style houses and streams, and in summer, you can see beautiful Russian Iris flowers💐. The season of Russian Iris blooms in May! A whole area covered with white Russian Iris flowers, like something out of a fairy tale! Ti Wu Village, with its wooden walkways, has a famous tree, and the area around the wooden walkway is surrounded by vast highland barley fields, where you can camp anywhere for free. Camping is free. Streams, meadows, and snow-capped mountains make it an ideal place to pitch a tent and enjoy the scenery all day long.

As summer approaches, this place becomes a fairyland for photo shoots. No matter if it's sunny or rainy, the atmosphere here is just perfect for photography. The clear lake water, dense forest, and aquatic plants in the lake remind me of the phrase 'lotus leaves stir the clear waves.' Paired with the fairies' beautiful dresses, it feels like stepping into a comic book. - Compared to Fish West, this is a completely different landscape. The ceiling of the camping world, and wild hot springs, this off-the-beaten-path spot is definitely a great place for photo shoots. Everyone should take a trip to Moon Lake when you have time. .

It is recommended to stay in Xinduqiao the night before, depart from Xinduqiao the next day, the drive takes 2-3 hours. Do not drive directly from Chengdu at night, as it is difficult to drive, the road is winding through the mountains, without another car in sight, pitch black!!! It is not recommended to travel at night. 2. As you approach the destination, there will be a fence, and villagers will collect an entrance fee of 25 RMB per person. If it's peak season, make sure to book the local homestays in advance, otherwise, there will be no place to stay once you get there. 3. The area is quite primitive, including the homestays, which often lack water and electricity. The local food is very light, so you can bring some instant noodles or self-heating pots. 4. If you have enough time, you can follow the homestay owner to pick mushrooms in the mountains, all natural!! Remember, after picking mushrooms, have them checked by experienced locals!! 5. The next morning, a 10-minute drive will take you to Moon Lake. The layout here is divided into campsites, at the entrance to the scenic spot. 6. Campsite number 6 requires a 20-minute walk inward. The most beautiful site is the innermost campsite number 6, which is basically deserted, and you can bring a drone. Photo Spot Recommendations 1. There is a lake at campsite number 1 near the entrance of the scenic area. Standing on the opposite shore, you can capture the reflection of the snow mountain, and there's also a swing, perfect for photos. 2. Continue walking along the trail inside, and you'll find many dead trees. 3. Campsite number 2 allows you to walk into the grassland in the middle of the lake, where you can take photos with horses. 4. Keep going deeper, and there are many places in the middle of the lake to explore, with trees, meadows, and flowers. Wearing a fairy dress and taking photos here is very picturesque.

"Immersed in the Fishzi West, it feels like the arrival of the entire Western Sichuan's summer splendor. In the summer, the mountains of Western Sichuan are blooming with flowers💐, and the lush green grasslands are in full view, a sight too beautiful for words. The upcoming summer trip to Western Sichuan is sure to be captivating! Here, you will stroll beside streams lined with blooming flowers🌊, or ride horses around the lakeside camps🏕️, spending your days immersed in the healing embrace of nature. This year, even on continuous rainy days, it's worth visiting those stunning check-in spots to feel the charm of summer. However, when traveling in Western Sichuan, it's easy to fall into traps if you're not careful❎. For example, you might end up at the wrong spot to watch the sunset🌄, missing out on the beauty of the day. To help, I've put together a guide to avoid pitfalls in Western Sichuan (including a lazy person's itinerary). 1⃣️Firstly, Western Sichuan is divided into Ganzi and Aba. It's recommended to go directly to Ganzi for sightseeing and pass through Danba on the way back to visit the Four Sisters Mountain🏔️. 2⃣️For summer retreats, there's no need to go far to Jiuzhaigou; Bipenggou is an excellent choice. 3⃣️Be sure to plan your itinerary and route in advance. Generally, you should arrange at least 3 days to explore Western Sichuan. 4⃣️If possible, choose to travel in a small group or self-drive, rather than joining a large bus tour group, for a more flexible schedule. 5⃣️Travel shouldn't be wasted on sleeping in. It's suggested to depart from Chengdu at 6 am on the first day, reach Kangding by noon, and explore the scenery near Tagong in the afternoon. 6⃣️There are more accommodation options during the off-season, but during the peak season, it's necessary to book 5 days or even half a month in advance to avoid not having a place to stay. Accommodation costs also increase accordingly during the peak season. 7⃣️For travel during the May Day holiday, it's advised to depart 2-3 days in advance to avoid traffic congestion. I have personally experienced being stuck in traffic from S434 Zhonggu Hot Spring all the way to Xinduqiao, leaving at 14:00 and not arriving until 1 am. 8⃣️Don't worry about food in Western Sichuan; most places offer authentic Sichuan cuisine. 9⃣️It's more economical to bring your own oxygen bottles than to buy them locally, so it's recommended to prepare in advance. 🔟Currently, the ticket price for Moshishan Park is 30 yuan per person, but it will reach 80 yuan during the peak season. If you're on a trip to Western Sichuan, why not take a look? 1⃣️1⃣️In some places, the use of drones is prohibited without the consent of the locals. 1⃣️2⃣️Please respect local culture, do not kick Mani stones, and definitely do not touch children's heads!! Preparation before departure: 🔺Some scenic spots require identification, so be sure to prepare in advance. 🔺For summer attire, be aware of the heat at noon and the temperature difference in the early morning and evening, so it's advisable to prepare several sets of clothes. 🔺When traveling in summer, carry a small electric fan for coolness. 🔺Do proper sun protection, apply enough sunscreen to prevent sunburn. 🔺Prepare snacks and water, and you can also bring instant hot pots, chewing gum, chocolate, etc. 🔺Always have medicine for altitude sickness, colds, motion sickness, headaches, and stomach ailments. 🚗【Western Sichuan 5 Days 4 Nights Itinerary】: Day 1: Chengdu - Kangding - Airport Road - Gedelaram - Xinduqiao.

Coming to western Sichuan in autumn, you must not miss Xindu Bridge. The most lively place in western Sichuan this autumn is none other than Xindu Bridge. The hotels are full, the circle of friends is being swiped, and many people are coming one after another... In addition to Xindu Bridge, after entering Kangding, the autumn colors of the S434 road to Xindu Bridge are also very rich, and the roadsides to Shad are also very beautiful... Autumn is beautiful, autumn is also short, the weather cools down, the leaves will fall, go now, you should be able to catch the tail of autumn. There are many beautiful sceneries in western Sichuan, but Kangding can also play for several days: Xindu Bridge, Tagong Grassland, Yuzi West, Lengga Lake, Zimei Pass, Moon Lake, Lotus Lake, Airport Road, Balang Shengdu, Gladium, Red Sea, Sting Lake... You can plan your travel route according to different times and needs.

The first stop in Western Sichuan is Xinduqiao, which is indeed a paradise for photographers. There is a beautiful village past Xinduqiao. It takes about an hour to get there from Xinduqiao town along a small road. This village is a pastoral scenery, with small bridges and flowing water at the doorstep. The whole village is in Tibetan style, very primitive, simply my dream village. I really want to quit my job and come here to herd cows🐮. 🎈 I really like this primitive village, set up a canopy by the stream, listen to the sound of the water, in the distance are horses grazing🐎, watching children playing in the village. After staying in the city for a long time, I really like this environment, undisturbed, quiet and beautiful. 🎈 📍Address: Navigation Jiagenba Riche Village 🚘Road conditions: The whole journey is cement road, cars can go, but the small road next to Xinduqiao is very narrow, be careful when driving. . 📷Good places to take pictures ❶、Song Dun Niji The outside is a large green barley field, there is a single wooden bridge, under the bridge is a stream, it is very good to take pictures here, people standing on the bridge can take the artistic conception of small bridges and flowing water. . ❷、The whole village of Jiagenba has good scenery along the way, and it is also good to take pictures. A small stream runs through the whole village. . ❸、The wooden plank road of Tiwu Village, there is a popular tree there, but it looks better with Russian flowers. . You can go to Moon Lake by the way when you go to Jiagenba. It's a bit unworthy to run a trip just for Jiagenba, and it's a bit far from Chengdu. It takes about 2 hours to drive from Moon Lake to Jiagenba, and cars can also go. 🎈 🚘🚘3 days 2 nights route recommendation day1：Chengdu-Kangding-Yuzixi-Xinduqiao day2：Xinduqiao-Jiagenba-Moon Lake-Xinduqiao day3：Xinduqiao-Sidingcuo-Red Sea-Chengdu

Lotus Lake, a grand but not popular treasure spot. 🌲Kangding Lotus Lake, about 4200 meters above sea level, is located in Lotus Lake Village, Pusharong Township, Shadetown, Kangding, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province. It is a place that has not yet been developed and not many people know about this place. ⛳Attraction address: Lotus Lake Village, Kangding, Ganzi, Sichuan (Kuxirong Village) ✨Kangding Lotus Lake is named for the magical 'Lotus Stone' blooming by the lake. Along the lake, there are towering mountains, stacked and scattered. Between the mountains, the green pines and cypresses are lush for thousands of miles; in the lake light, the pavilions and solitary islands reflect each other. Seagulls and cranes spread their wings, fish swim in groups, thousands of sails compete, the green waves are rippling, the water and the sky are the same color, and it is still picturesque. ✨The scenery here is no less than Daocheng, you can stroll through the original forest, listen to the birds singing, and see the cattle and sheep in groups. The alpine lakes that can't be found on the map are dreamy and mysterious. You can also find a place to camp by the lake. This is Kangding Lotus Lake, also known as the paradise for camping that is claimed as one's own. 🚃Recommended travel route D1: Chengdu-Zheduoshan-Gedilaram/Yuzi West Sunset-Xinduqiao/Bamei D2: Xinduqiao-Shadexiang-Moon Lake around the lake-Xinduqiao/Bamei D3:Xinduqiao-Sidingcuo-Red Sea-Chengdu
