A lesser-known secret spot in western Sichuan, my friends were bombarded with questions when I posted it on my circle of friends

It's not Mount Siguniang, it's a lesser-known secret spot in western Sichuan that hasn't been developed. It only takes 2h30min to drive from Shuangqiao Valley Scenic Area to the destination. I played for a day and didn't meet a single person on the way. Snow-capped mountains, grasslands, streams, lakes, wooden bridges, yaks... This place can really satisfy all my fantasies about lesser-known secret spots. 📍Address: Datping Pastoral Village, Xiaojin County, Sichuan - Longtou Beach Drive directly to 'Datping Pastoral Village', park the car at the temple gate in the deepest part of the village, walk back to the first corner and hike into the mountains, about 30min walk to the destination and return the same way. 🗓Itinerary DAY①: Chengdu - Mount Siguniang Town DAY②: Shuangqiao Valley Scenic Area - Stay in Xiaojin County at night DAY③: Xiaojin County - Datping Pastoral Village - Return to Chengdu in the afternoon Travel tips ①The journey from Chengdu is a bit far, it is recommended to stay in Mount Siguniang for one night, add Shuangqiao Valley to the itinerary for a day, and then go here. ②The last hour of the journey to the destination, the road is very bad, all potholes and bomb roads, not recommended for small cars to go, it is best to have a high chassis car. ③There are many cows raised by villagers in the mountains, it is not very suitable for camping, do not drink water indiscriminately in the wild, yaks are unpredictable and should be kept at a distance. ④Outdoor activities must respect the environment.
