Golden pine forest.
Jiayila Lake is a beautiful alpine lake in Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan Province, surrounded by golden pine forests and spectacular snow-capped mountains. The best time to visit is from mid-October to mid-November, when the fall colors are vibrant and unforgettable.
Many people choose to hike to Jiayila Lake, a round trip of about 10 km with an elevation gain of about 350 m, which is relatively easy and suitable for beginners. If you don't want to hike, you can also take a motorcycle or ride a horse, which costs about CNY 160–300 for a round trip. A one-way motorcycle ride takes about 30–40 minutes, and you can ask the owner of your accommodation to help you arrange it.
In addition to enjoying the scenery, there are some things to keep in mind when visiting Jiayila Lake. First, as the area is not fully developed, visitors should respect local customs and not enter Tibetan homes without permission. Second, the mountain roads are not very clear, especially the muddy sections after rain, so be careful to avoid slipping and bring trekking poles. In addition, the temperature is low in high-altitude areas, so remember to wear warm clothes and bring enough medicine to prevent altitude sickness and other emergencies.
Once, a group of people hiked from Dangling to Jiayila Lake, Hulu Lake, and Zhuoyong Lake, a total of 16 km, with complex and varied road conditions, and some sections even required walking in the dark. Although the experience was challenging, it left unforgettable memories. In addition, a visitor encountered a motorcycle breakdown on the way to Jiayila Lake and waited alone for half an hour before getting help, which reminds everyone to be prepared before traveling.
Jiayila Lake is not only a place of natural beauty but also a spiritual home for many people. Some people feel the power and peace of nature here and find inner peace. Whether lying on the riverbank looking up at the blue sky or standing at the foot of the snow-capped mountains feeling the charm of nature, Jiayila Lake can bring a deep touch.

They are built along the mountain, scattered on the slopes of nearly 1,000 meters, forming a magnificent picture.
When the spring breeze blows over this magical land, pear and peach blossoms bloom, and the poetic spring scenery brings Jiaju Tibetan Village to life. The scenic area has several viewing platforms for visitors to enjoy the full view of the Tibetan village. Although they are far apart, each offers a different visual experience. However, only by walking along the paths of the Tibetan village can you truly feel the unique charm and discover the hidden beauty in every corner.

The Dangling area has three sacred mountains: Zhuoyong Nari Ma 5475m, Xiaqiang La 5470m, and Doje Yuchong 5500m. The snow-capped mountains here are more spectacular than the seasonal snow-capped mountains in Jiuzhaigou, which is a complete victory 👏.

The colorful forest of Dangling is divided into two places. One is the Paradise Valley from Bianer Township to Dangling Village. Every October, the red, green, yellow, and purple leaves are intertwined, which is very beautiful. The other is the large larch in the valleys of the village. Every autumn, the golden valley is unique. Compared with the colorful forest dominated by purple shrubs in Jiuzhaigou, Dangling is more charming under the blessing of golden larch ✨.

Zhonglu Tibetan Village | A quiet and quaint Tibetan village.
| A quiet and quaint Tibetan village. Jiaju Tibetan Village and Zhonglu Tibetan Village are both famous Tibetan villages in Danba County, Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan Province. Compared to Jiaju Tibetan Village, Zhonglu Tibetan Village is more peaceful.
The village is filled with watchtowers, which is a unique feature of Zhonglu Tibetan Village. The watchtowers are not only residential buildings, but also defensive structures, showcasing the wisdom of the Tibetan people in surviving in harsh natural environments and complex social environments.
Take a stroll through the streets and you can see different types of watchtowers up close, such as square watchtowers and octagonal watchtowers. Some still stand majestically, while others are damaged, leaving traces of time.
When spring comes, pear blossoms and peach blossoms bloom, adding a unique tenderness to the village.
We recommend staying at Dolce Vita Hotel. The hotel's viewing platform offers excellent views, allowing you to take in the Tibetan houses, watchtowers, and farmland at the foot of the mountain. In the morning, you can watch the sun slowly pour into the village; in the evening, you can enjoy the twinkling lights of the houses. Even if you don't have much time to visit Zhonglu Tibetan Village, the scenery here is unforgettable.
Jiaju Tibetan Village | Where Tibetan aesthetics meet the brilliance of spring flowers.

The buildings in the Tibetan village are mainly made of stone and wood, with bright colors and unique shapes, reflecting the strong Tibetan characteristics. The houses are built on the mountainside, distributed on a hillside with a relative height difference of nearly 1,000 meters.

Are you sure you don't want to go here||The plateau in September enters a low season, but it is also the beginning of a new beautiful season. From the late summer scenery in September to the early autumn in early October to the late autumn in late October and early November, all are worth experiencing.
Here are a few scenic routes suitable for these months.
1⃣️Kangding-Xinduqiao-Jiagenba-Moon Lake-Wuxuhai. Autumn here is beautiful to a new height. The valley is densely vegetated. In autumn, it is a colorful forest. Wuxuhai, a niche attraction, is really beautiful. It is like the bottomless lake in Shangri-La, but it is easier to go to Wuxuhai. Moon Lake is also the ceiling of camping on the western Sichuan Plateau. Suitable time 3-5 days
2⃣️Tagong-Daofu-Yuke-Dangling-Danba-Siguniang Mountain. It can be used as a niche loop. The essence is Yuke and Dangling, but the core scenery of Dangling Wind, Gourd Sea, needs to be hiked. Suitable time 4-5 days
3⃣️Northwestern Sichuan route, Lixian County-Hongyuan-Abazhou, mainly grassland scenery, if you have more time, you can go to Jiuzhaigou together, suitable time 3-5 days
4⃣️Kangding-Litang-Genie-Cuopugou, a collection of western Sichuan attractions. Except for the distance, there are no other problems. Suitable time 5-6 days
