A reminder for everyone! December - February in Western Sichuan, be careful when traveling...

Western Sichuan is covered with snow in winter, as beautiful as a painting🖼️ but! ️Don't go to western Sichuan blindly. 💯As a local, I have summarized some experiences and hope it will be helpful to those who come to visit. Where to enjoy the snow❓ ❄Jiuzhaigou: The lake looks crystal clear among the snow-covered woods, and the unfrozen waterfall cascades down, adding vitality to this peaceful scene. ❄Dagu Glacier: "The glacier closest to the city", enjoy the quiet time alone in the loneliest cafe on the top of the mountain. ❄Mt. Siguniang: The forest branches all over the mountain are covered with rime, and the meadows are also covered with snow. The scenery is as beautiful as a painting. ❄Bipenggou: Easily get to see large snow-capped mountains and forests, from streams and lakes to alpine meadows and snow-covered forests, which is extremely romantic. ❄Partridge Mountain: Hidden under the snow-capped mountains, it looks like a romantic fairy-tale town where you can also witness pink snowflakes. ❄Wawu Mountain: Cedars, rime, icefalls and frozen lakes can be seen everywhere, and magical astronomical phenomena such as sea of ​​clouds, sunrise, starry sky and Buddha's light are very likely to appear. ✈️About transportation: 1️⃣Tianfu Airport: There are many flights and various choices, but it is far from the city. You can take the airport bus directly to Chunxi Road, or you can take the subway. 2️⃣Shuangliu Airport: There are fewer flights and the price is a bit higher, but it is closer to the city and more convenient. If conditions permit, dual flow can be selected. About road conditions: 🧊When traveling in winter, the roads are prone to hidden ice and snow. Be sure to prepare anti-skid chains and observe the road conditions and drive carefully. 🚗If you are not an experienced driver with rich experience in self-driving on mountain roads and snow, it is safer to travel with a group. 👗 Outfit suggestions 🌞Temperature: -5 degrees - 10 degrees 👔Top: Warm inner wear + down jacket/jacket 👖Bottom: Autumn johns + outer pants 🧣Accessories: hat + scarf + gloves + sunglasses 👉Practical experience ✅Remember to check whether your power bank can be used in plateaus! Some power banks may experience "altitude sickness". ✅The conditions in Tibet are limited, and accommodation cannot be compared with that in the city. It is best to bring some toiletries. ✅If you are worried about altitude sickness, you can take Rhodiola rosea in advance. Be careful to prevent colds. ✅Each scenic spot in western Sichuan is far apart, and it takes several hours to travel there. Bring some snacks and motion sickness medicine.
