Western Sichuan Escape Plan🏔️ | Discover 5 stunning hidden gems at the foot of snowy mountains, even beginners can have a blast!🎉🎉 This summer finally realized a crowd-free, off-the-beaten-path Western Sichuan trip! No crowds like in Daocheng Yading, and avoiding the throngs at Jiuzhaigou, we found tons of treasure spots with snowy mountains, grasslands, and Tibetan villages. No worries about strangers in your photos, great value and super photogenic🤳🎊🎊🎊 🚗 Secret routes revealed 📍 Siguniang Mountain Shuangqiao Valley Opening hours: 7:00-15:30 Ticket + sightseeing bus: 150 RMB Recommended playtime: 4-5 hours Must-see spots: Redwood Forest, Potala Peak, and Ginseng Fruit Flat; the snowy mountain reflections are breathtaking! Remember to bring a jacket, it’s very cool at the summit🧥 📍 Danba Jiaju Tibetan Village Open all day Ticket: 50 RMB Recommended to stay overnight to experience the morning mist☁️ We highly recommend the guesthouse "Yunshang Danba," about 200 RMB per person including breakfast and dinner, the hostess’s butter tea is amazing! 📍 Moxi Park Opening hours: 8:30-17:30 Ticket: 60 RMB Alien-like landscapes make every shot a masterpiece, wearing bright colors is recommended for better photos📸 📍 Tagong Grassland Free entry Horse riding experience: 80 RMB/hour Be sure to wait for sunset, the golden light on Yala Snow Mountain is stunning! Many Tibetans sell freshly squeezed yak milk, 10 RMB a cup, super fragrant and sweet🥛 📍 Xinduqiao Lavender Manor Blooming season: June to August Ticket: 30 RMB A whole sea of purple flowers with snowy mountain backdrop, it’s like Provence! There’s also yak meat barbecue stalls nearby, 20 RMB per big skewer🍢 🌄 Travel tips🎉🎉🎉 1. Bring an oxygen bottle! Although this is a beginner route, the altitude is still over 3000m 2. Sunscreen essentials: hat + sunglasses + sunscreen, the high-altitude UV rays are no joke 3. Big temperature difference between day and night, onion-style dressing is recommended 4. Ask for permission before taking photos in Tibetan villages, some places charge fees 🏡 Accommodation recommendations🏚🏡 Kangding Love Song Hotel (oxygen rooms are very important!) Danba Yunshang Tibetan Family Inn (great value) 🍴 Foodie guide🍱🥘 - Matsutake mushroom stewed chicken (fresh only available July-August) - Tsampa dipped in yogurt (a very special Tibetan afternoon tea) - Highland potatoes (fried with yak butter, super fragrant) 💫✨✨✨
