In July, Ganbai Road is covered with flowers.

🌼A secret wonder of Western Sichuan! A healing journey where the sea of flowers and snow-capped mountains frame each other on Ganbai Road✨ 💐Reasons to visit The ultimate highland flower sea! Every snapshot looks like a Windows desktop! The triple beauty of sky + snow mountains + flowers is breathtaking! 📍Address: Ganbai Road, Baiyu County, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province 🚗Travel tips: Navigate to "Changtai Grassland." From Chengdu, it’s recommended to charter a car or drive yourself (about 10 hours). Along the way, National Highway 317 passes by an incredibly stunning snow mountain viewing platform. 🌸Trip highlights 1️⃣ Ganbai Road Flower Corridor Wild gesang flowers grow wildly from June to August! It’s recommended to wear light-colored dresses for running and spinning live shots. 📌Hidden spot: At the third bend on the roadside, you can capture the flower sea with snow mountains as the background. 2️⃣ Changtai Grassland A hidden gem in Western Sichuan! A divine composition of yak herds + prayer flags + streams. The light is softest at 4 PM; remember to bring a telephoto lens. 3️⃣ Glacier Viewing Platform A free bonus halfway along Ganbai Road! At 4500m altitude, overlook the continuous snow peaks. ⚠️Note: The wind is very strong! Be sure to wear a wool hat. 🍲Food recommendations ▫️Changtai Beef Soup Pot: A warming magic broth made from beef bones by herders. ▫️Butter Tea and Tsampa: Experience Tibetan-style afternoon tea (available in roadside tents). 📸Photo tips ✔️Throwing ronda paper in the flower sea (can be bought in the county town). ✔️Borrowing a herder’s yak as a background (10 yuan is enough). ✔️Shooting prayer flags in the foreground with snow mountains behind. ❗️Avoid pitfalls 1. Bring a rain jacket in July and August rainy season! The weather changes quickly. 2. Avoid intense running or jumping above 4000m altitude. 3. Use any toilet you see first... the next one might be 50 kilometers away.
