Dangling Hiking Three Lakes Guide, Unlocking the Most Beautiful Secret in Western Sichuan

This autumn, I found a treasure! The hiking route in Dangling, Danba is like stepping into a painting, the experience of passing through three lakes is absolutely amazing~ The best part is fewer people and beautiful scenery, every photo looks like a masterpiece! Dangling Village Address: Within Dandong Town, northwest of Danba County, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture Open all year round, but it is recommended to visit in September-October when the autumn colors are at their peak! ✨ Hiking Highlights 1. Hulu Lake: Like an emerald embedded in the mountains, reflecting the snow-capped peaks 2. Zhuoyongcuo Lake: Legend says it is the fairy’s makeup mirror, the lake water changes color with the light 3. Jiayila Lake: The blue tear hidden deep in the mountains, reaching here means you basically own the entire lake view 💡 Useful Tips - Altitude is over 4000m, remember to bring an oxygen bottle, don’t get too excited running or jumping - Be sure to wear waterproof hiking boots! Some sections require stepping through streams to cross rivers - The village only has Tibetan-style guesthouses, conditions are simple but very characteristic - Large temperature difference between morning and evening, fleece + windbreaker is a life-saving combo 📸 Recommended Photo Spots 1. Prayer flag boardwalk in front of Hulu Lake 2. Viewing platform on the west shore of Zhuoyongcuo Lake 3. Large rock by Jiayila Lake (perfect for drone shots) Looking back now, it’s still breathtaking—the scene of snow mountains, lakes, and golden fields blending together is truly a paradise for the eyes! The whole hike is about 15 kilometers, it’s recommended to start before 8 AM~ Remember to pack: ✓ High SPF sunscreen ✓ Thermos (villagers can provide hot water) ✓ Chocolate/beef jerky (to replenish energy in time) ✓ Power bank (you won’t want to stop taking photos)
