Last October, I measured the autumn of Dangling with my footsteps.

Many people say that autumn in Kanas, Xinjiang, is unbeatable— But I want to say, Dangling in western Sichuan is just as good! Furthermore, there are fewer crowds, the trails are easier to navigate, and the value is superb❗ ✨ Why do I recommend Dangling? ✅ Meet in Chengdu, transportation is super convenient, and you can even visit Chengdu and eat there; ✅ Accommodation is truly affordable; a night in Kanas costs four figures, but here it's only a few hundred; ✅ The entire trip is incredibly hassle-free: accommodation, meals, a tour guide, transportation, and insurance are all included for just over 1,000 yuan; ✅ The hike is easy, the altitude is comfortable, and you can even bring children along; ✅ If you don't want to walk, you can also ride a horse or motorcycle. There's no camping involved, and electric blankets are provided! This is so friendly for beginner hikers! 🌲 Every October, this area seems to be painted by autumn itself. The entire mountain is like an overturned palette—golden pines and cypresses, vibrant crimson shrubs, azure lakes... Walking through it feels like stepping into an autumn fairytale. Hulu Lake and Zhuoyongcuo are especially blue, like gemstones. Tranquil amidst the snow-capped mountains and vibrant forests, their beauty is beyond words. ⚠️ A few sincere reminders: Although entry-level, it's not a "walk." Some sections (such as Hulu Lake to Zhuoyongcuo) are 5 kilometers round trip, so it's recommended to hike according to your ability. There may be areas without signal during the hike, but accommodation is available each night. The best time to enjoy autumn is from mid-October to mid-November. Although the colors may not be completely yellow during National Day, the colors are still stunning. - 📅 Available in 3 or 5 days: 3-day Dangling Mini-Circuit Experience | 5-day tour with the added bonus of a visit to the Tibetan village in the middle of the route for even more unique experiences!
