The plateau is really different from the plains! The temperature difference between day and night is large, and it gets colder at higher altitudes and at night. You can buy a shawl at the scenic spot, which looks good in photos and keeps you warm. 🔹Prepare for sun protection, bring sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses. Don't be fooled by the seemingly mild sun; the ultraviolet rays are very strong on the plateau, and it's super easy to get tanned! The sunlight there is quite glaring. 🔹Bring moisturizing skincare products, face masks, and lip balm. The plateau climate is quite dry, and if you don't hydrate your face enough, it will hurt from being too dry, and makeup will cake!

Winter travel in Sichuan and Tibet is an unforgettable experience, but it also requires some preparation and precautions. In the Sichuan-Tibet region, the winter weather is harsh, the roads may be icy, and there may even be blizzards. Here are some suggestions and precautions: 1. Prepare sufficient winter equipment: including warm clothing, windproof and waterproof jackets and pants, anti-skid shoes, gloves, hats, scarves, etc. Ensure that the clothes are warm and dry. 2. Choose transportation carefully: If you plan to drive or take a bus, be sure to understand the road conditions and weather. In winter, the road conditions may be very difficult, especially in high-altitude areas. Consider hiring a local experienced driver or joining a tour group led by a senior driver. 3. Prevention of altitude sickness: The altitude in the Sichuan-Tibet region is high, and winter is more likely to cause altitude sickness. It is recommended to adapt for at least one or two days before going, and you can also ask the doctor for advice on preventing and relieving altitude sickness. 4. Ensure food and accommodation safety: Choose reliable accommodation and catering services. In high-altitude areas, it is very important to find a warm place to stay. 5. Respect local culture and traditions: The Sichuan-Tibet region has a rich culture and tradition, understand and respect the local religious beliefs and customs. The most important thing is to do a detailed investigation and planning before traveling to the Sichuan-Tibet region in winter, to ensure safety and comfort

Recently, I've seen a lot of people avoiding Mount Siguniang, and I really don't understand why! It's a breathtaking paradise on earth! 🚗 Take a car to the top of the redwood forest, walk inside, and watch the snow fall, the yellow leaves glisten in the sun, and snowmen are everywhere. We had a blast here for half an hour! 🏔️ After getting off the bus at Potala Peak, hike to Zhuganacuo Lake, which takes at least 1 hour round trip. The road is very flat. Along the way, you can see snow-capped mountains, meadows, and forests, which are the essence of Mount Siguniang! 🕙 Unfortunately, we didn't have time to go rafting. We only visited Sigunacuo Lake and other attractions before returning, but we still felt that this trip was worth it! Really, Mount Siguniang is not just a name. November here is a snow kingdom more beautiful than a fairy tale. Every scene can touch your heart and heal all your fatigue. Once you come, you will fall in love with this paradise!

How to Spend 4–5 Days in Western Sichuan|||As a driver who has been driving in Western Sichuan for 10 years, I think the best time to visit Western Sichuan is October and November! The mountains will be closed in December (for forest fire prevention). 1. The roads in Western Sichuan are golden at this time of year. 2. In autumn, you must take a DJI Mavic 3 series drone to take photos of the golden mountains at sunrise. Only a drone can bring the snow-capped mountains closer. 3. Choose to travel at the beginning or end of the lunar month to see the starry sky and Milky Way. If you travel in the middle of the month, you won't see the stars because the moonlight is too bright. 4. Choose a tour guide who is fun and wants to take photos more than you do. However, tour guides in Sichuan are generally good, and their service is excellent. Only some of them are not good at photography. Tour guides and travelers should get along with each other. Every tour guide wants to take good care of their travelers and become good friends with them. They hope that travelers will introduce their friends to them in the future. They don't mind driving dozens of kilometers more to take beautiful photos, as long as everyone is happy. 5. Choose a car: It's best to choose an off-road vehicle. For example, you need an off-road vehicle to go to Yala Snow Mountain, Gedilamu, and Jiagenba Aerial Garden, as well as many other wild attractions in Western Sichuan.

|A paradise called Balang Shengdu. The best decision I made on this trip to Sichuan was to choose the Balang Shengdu Villa Hotel. About the hotel: The Balang Shengdu Villa Hotel is a cultural tourism project run by the Balang Shengdu Village Committee. The facilities are very complete and can be booked on XC. Balang Shengdu It took six hours to drive from Chengdu to Tagong Grassland and arrived at night. On the first day of coming to the grassland, I chose a star hotel at an altitude of 4,000 meters. I didn't adapt step by step, which caused severe altitude sickness, so I didn't have the energy to see the stars properly. It's a pity. If I have the chance, I really want to come again and make up for the regret of not taking pictures of the stars. From Xinduqiao-Balang Shengdu came again this year haha This time I chose a homestay again. I didn't expect the experience to be full of 10 parent-child rooms. The space is enough and the view is super wide~ The key is that the room partition is great. Lucky goose also met a double rainbow! Balang Shengdu Homestay (we booked a parent-child room)
