Trip to Aba 🇨🇳

Aba is a place we explored that left us in awe with its breathtaking landscapes, rich Tibetan culture, and stunning natural wonders. Whether you love crystal-clear lakes, ancient monasteries, or snow-capped mountains, there are plenty of incredible spots for photography. We would recommend visiting in the morning or late afternoon for the best lighting and a more magical experience. 📍 Address: Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan, China One of the most mesmerizing places we visited was Jiuzhaigou Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its colorful lakes, waterfalls, and snow-covered peaks. The best time for photos is in the morning when the lakes reflect the clear blue sky, creating a picture-perfect mirror effect. The Five Flower Lake, with its vivid turquoise waters, was one of our favorite spots to capture! 📍 Address: Jiuzhaigou Valley, Jiuzhaigou County, Aba, Sichuan, China We also explored Huanglong Scenic Area, known for its unique limestone terraces and hot springs. Walking along the boardwalk, we saw pools in shades of blue, green, and yellow, which looked like something out of a fairy tale. The best time for photos is in the afternoon when the sunlight enhances the colors of the water. The view from the Golden Sand Temple at the top was absolutely breathtaking! 📍 Address: Huanglong Scenic Area, Songpan County, Aba, Sichuan, China Another incredible place we visited was Larung Gar Buddhist Academy, one of the largest Tibetan Buddhist institutes in the world. The sight of thousands of red-roofed monk houses covering the hillside was unforgettable. Sunset is the best time to visit, as the golden light creates a beautiful contrast against the deep red buildings. The spiritual energy of this place made it one of the most unique experiences of our trip. 📍 Address: Larung Gar Buddhist Academy, Seda County, Aba, Sichuan, China #discoverchina #travel #vacation
