Pretend to be in New Zealand | Lesser-known Secret Lake in Western Sichuan - Lover's Lake.

👩🏻‍🌾【Introduction】: Lover's Sea, also known as Changhaizi, Tibetan name 'Sa'erjiao Cuo'. It's really beautiful here, and there are hardly any people, like a paradise on earth. It feels like I have the whole lake to myself! A perfect destination for a short holiday🍀; · · 🕘【Opening Hours】: Open all year round; the scenery is beautiful all year, and the blue ice in winter is particularly stunning🈵; · · 💴【Ticket Price】: No tickets & no parking fees; · · ⛺【Activities】: Tour Suggestions 🔶You must drive or go to the observation deck halfway up the mountain to overlook the entire Lover's Sea! Continue driving forward, there is a parking lot, and also a large~ 🔶You can walk along the trail by the lake to view the lake from different angles. I think the best angle is from the front, where you can capture the snow-capped mountains in the background; 🔶You can prepare equipment, and enjoy the view of the snow-capped mountains and the lake by the lake where there are no people. It's so beautiful; ❌Friendly Reminder: The walking paths around the lake have been completed, and public toilets and scenic facilities are being built. It is expected to be developed into a scenic spot soon, and it may lose some of its wild charm by then. Those who like peace and quiet should go early! 📸Photo Spots: Park at the village basketball court and walk to the lake; drive along the lake into the mountains, there are two observation decks on the way, both great for photos. Recommended photo time: The direction of the sunlight is more suitable in the morning, while in the afternoon, it is a bit backlit at the observation deck. · · 🚌【Transportation Guide】: 🔶Address: Sa'erjiao Village, Akeli Township, Jinchuan County, Aba Prefecture. Search 'Lover's Village' on the map to reach the parking lot; 🔶Transportation Route: Since it is an undeveloped spot, there is no mature transportation route. It takes about 6 hours from Chengdu, search for 'Lover's Village' on the map, and there will be various road signs indicating 'Lover's Sea' on the way; · · 👉【Itinerary Recommendation】: Recommended route as follows D1: Depart from Chengdu - Gurgou Hot Spring - Gurgou (overnight) D2: Gurgou - Lover's Sea - Maerkang (overnight) D3: Maerkang - Bipenggou Scenic Area - Chengdu (overnight) 🔶Depart from Gurgou, stay at Lover's Lake for half a day, you can bring food for a picnic by the lake and relax. You can have lunch at a Tibetan house or bring your own food. 🔶Travel route, remember to return via the original route towards Guanyin Bridge, the other road is a mountain road and difficult to walk, do not follow the navigation towards the snow-capped mountains! · · 🧡【Preparation Before Departure】: 1. There are no inns or hotels near Lover's Sea, you can drive to Guanyin Bridge Town or Maerkang City to stay! 2. There are no restaurants or eateries here, it is recommended to bring your own food and water to avoid hunger! 3. The altitude of Lover's Sea is about 3800m, please avoid strenuous exercise! 4. Be sure to check the weather before going. The ice will only appear blue under the blue sky and sunshine in winter! When playing on the ice in winter, be sure to observe the solidity of the ice surface before going down, do not take risks easily! 5. Please take your garbage with you! 6. You can only stay in Tibetan houses around Lover's Lake, the environment is very poor, not recommended. You can stay in Guanyin Bridge Town, about an hour and a half drive away, where there are better hotels. You can eat at Tibetan houses, the food tastes good and is not expensive, about 40-50 yuan per person.
