After being highly praised, I've visited Moon Lake and it truly is beautiful

Next up is the most beautiful time in Western Sichuan, from June to August Western Sichuan turns into a land of sprawling flower gardens🌼, verdant grasslands🌿, galloping horses🐎, camping by the streams🏕️, and enjoying the sunset in the evening🌄, But I must recommend a place that truly deserves to be called a 'life checkpoint', which is 'Lotus Sea Forest Park - Moon Lake'. Upon arrival, you can feel enveloped by nature, realizing that apart from the hustle and bustle of the city, there is such a tranquil place full of natural charm. Whether it's for photography or experiencing nature, one can easily capture a sense of relaxation, allowing the travel pace to slow down~ 📍Destination: Lotus Sea Forest Park - Moon Lake ⛰️Altitude: 3500m (rich vegetation, not prone to altitude sickness) 🎫Ticket: A cleaning fee of 20/person is collected when going up the mountain 1️⃣It is not recommended to drive directly from Chengdu to Moon Lake, as the journey is long and time-consuming. It is suggested to stay overnight in Xinduqiao and head to Moon Lake the next morning 2️⃣The road to Moon Lake is on the mountainside, with some steep sections, so drive safely. Sedans can also reach the destination directly 3️⃣Inside there are 3 campsites, a wild hot spring, and Lotus Lake. To get to Lotus Lake, one needs to hike from Moon Lake for "3-4h🚶‍♀️. However, the scenery above is truly beautiful. In summer, you can camp inside, set up a tent⛺️, have dinner🥣, and enjoy the tranquility brought by the starry sky at midnight ✔️Upon reaching the parking lot🅿️, you will see Campsite No. 1, which has a lake and a coffee house☕️ and swings in front, perfect for taking photos📷 ✔️Going deeper, you will see streams formed by the convergence of multiple rivers. The depth and green plants growing in the water make the streams colorful and particularly beautiful ✔️Along the way, there are wildflowers🌷, dead trees, and forest vegetation. Campsite No. 2 in the middle is very suitable for camping and kayaking🚣‍♀️ ✔️If you want to experience the tranquility of birdsong and floral fragrance, you can continue inward to find Campsite No. 3, which is almost uninhabited and the scenery is more pristine 📷 🔸Check the weather in advance, clear skies🌞 make for a clean background of sky and wilderness 🔸Camping🏕️ can also capture an atmospheric feel, and these little props can be put to use 🔸Try to wear brightly colored dresses👗, which can capture the feel of a Miyazaki anime 👇 D1: Chengdu - Kangding - S434 - Airport Road - Yuzixi - Xinduqiao D2: Xinduqiao - Jiagenba - Riche Village - Moon Lake Camping D3: Moon Lake - Xinduqiao - Tagong Grassland - Muya Monastery - Chengdu
