On the winding mountain road down the mountain from Dawa Gengza, you can see the white mountains and snow-covered roofs at a glance. However, the most attractive thing is the azure blue Xieqi Lake. It does not require any filters, it is a beautiful picture in itself. Xiechi Lake is a must-go place on the way to Dawagengza or Shenmulei. The lake is wide and sparkling. In fact, you don’t have to stop at the scenic spots indicated by the navigation. You can easily overlook its magnificence and feel the tranquility and shock along the winding mountain road🛣️.

I missed the autumn of Li Xiaoji. In the early winter, this avenue of red leaves is not inferior to Li Xiaoji at all. Dozens of miles of endless red leaves, combined with the ink-like mountains and rivers, form beautiful pictures. Siguniang Mountain → Jiajin Mountain → Baoxing County, you must not miss this landscape avenue. Although we encountered landslides and severe weather in Jiajin Mountain, the trip was still worth it. If Li Xiaolu is a quiet and elegant young lady, then Jiajin Mountain is definitely the style of a king, majestic, magnificent and majestic. The scenery along the way is picturesque, and all the autumn scenery in western Sichuan can be seen here. If you are lucky, you can also see groups of wild macaques, jumping up and down on the roadside unscrupulously. 🔆Qi Qi Lake If time permits, it is recommended to stay here for a few days. Stay in a lakeside B&B, surrounded by colorful forests and facing the wide, blue lake. No matter how many worries you have, you can get rid of them here.

1️⃣ 'Jiajin Mountain' means towering and steep mountain in Tibetan. The local folk song says, 'Birds can't fly over it, and people can't climb it.' In June 1935, the brave Red Army conquered it, but many soldiers stayed here forever. 2️⃣ Leaving Dengchigou and continuing north, the mountains become more majestic. After an hour's drive, we arrived at Qiaoqi Lake at the foot of Jiajin Mountain. This lake was formed by the construction of the Qiaoqi Hydropower Station on the upper reaches of the Baoxing River in 2002. At the southern end of Qiaoqi Lake, a green pine tree guards the Red Army tomb beneath it, with red ribbons fluttering in the wind on its trunk. This is the 'Red Army Umbrella.' Back then, Tibetan compatriots spontaneously buried the unburied remains of Red Army soldiers here and planted a green pine tree above them. Every year, they tie red scarves and khatas to commemorate them. Ninety years later, the tree has grown tall like an umbrella, and the Red Army tomb remains intact, with white chrysanthemums offered in remembrance. To the north of Qiaoqi Lake, the 'Monument to the Red Army Crossing Jiajin Mountain' stands solemnly, facing north and south. Surrounded by green mountains and clear waters with red stars dotted around, looking back at the heroic days of the past, I can't help but feel a surge of passion: the clear wind shines on a sunny day, the clear water ripples, and the pine waves remain the same. 3️⃣ Tomorrow we will cross Jiajin Mountain. It's still early, so we drive to the Shenmulei Scenic Area to calm our excited hearts. Shenmulei is a meadow under the Pagra Sacred Mountain, at an altitude of about 2700 meters. The original redwood forest and alpine meadows in the scenic area are suitable for quiet walks, but the facilities need improvement. Compared to the lakeside, it seems a bit plain. I am Anxiang Yingxiu, sharing stories in the scenery with you.

There are three spots in total: Qiaoqi Lake, Shenmulei, and Dawagengzha, all of which are very close. You only need a little more than one day to visit, with the highest altitude being over 3800 meters. I didn't see anyone with altitude sickness, so a weekend trip is completely OK. The green lake, snow-capped mountains, streams, waterfalls, and fir trees, you can see all of these here. Although the grandeur of the scenery is not comparable to Western Sichuan, it is closer and without the risk of altitude sickness. Leisurely itinerary option one Day 1: Depart at 8-9 am, Chengdu-Qiaoqi Lake-Shenmulei-Dawagengzha entrance for accommodation Day 2: Wake up at 4 am, walk to Dawagengzha to take the scenic area bus to the mountain top, walk on the plank road, wait to watch the sunrise, and descend around 8 am, leisurely return to Chengdu. Tight schedule option two Day 1: Depart at 5 pm, Chengdu-Dawagengzha entrance for accommodation, stroll around and have a barbecue in the evening Day 2: Wake up at 4 am, walk to Dawagengzha to take the scenic area bus up the mountain, walk on the plank road, wait to watch the sunrise, and descend around 8 am, pass by Qiaoqi Lake on the way to Shenmulei, play for 20-30 minutes, then to Shenmulei, play for 2-3 hours. You can return to Chengdu before 2 pm. The third option is if you don't watch the sunrise, there's no need to stay there, and you can go back and forth in one day.
