It's amazing! You really don't need to bring too many clothes to West Sichuan.

It's amazing! You really don't need to bring too many clothes to West Sichuan. Ladies, you really don't need to bring too much luggage when coming to West Sichuan. Many things are sold here at similar prices to online, and you can even bargain! · When I first arrived in Kangding, I wanted to buy a cowboy hat. After bargaining, it was 40 yuan each, and shawls were 55 yuan. I thought it was a bit expensive, so I didn't buy them. When we got to the Four Girls Mountain, the hats at the entrance of the scenic spot were 15 yuan each, and the shawls were 25 yuan each! My friend and I each bought one, such a great deal!! · ✅Money-saving tips for West Sichuan 1️⃣ Oxygen tanks sell for 25 yuan in Gengda, 15 yuan per tank at Zheduoshan, and 8 yuan per tank in Chengdu. 2️⃣ Cow horn hats are 10 yuan each in Jiuzhaigou Valley, with several colors to choose from. There are also many ethnic shawls sold outside the scenic spot for 20-40 yuan, and you can bargain! 3️⃣ If you don't have thick clothes, you can go shopping in Xinduqiao Town. There are several clothing stores with a wide variety of clothes! Short sleeves, vests, sun protection clothing, jackets, thin coats, overalls, as well as hats, shawls, raincoats, shoes, and warm clothing. It's all there! A 3-in-1 jacket is only 150 yuan, and you can bargain. If you buy a lot, the boss will also give you a free oxygen tank, haha. 4️⃣ Fruits at Four Girls Mountain are relatively cheap, but pay attention to the weight, which may be less than expected. The price may be calculated per gram. 5️⃣ Authentic beef jerky in Tibetan areas is generally over 100 yuan per 500g. Be careful not to be greedy for small bargains, as there are many fakes. • ♨️Other tips ✔️ West Sichuan is really dry, so bring a small humidifier. Girls, bring your moisturizing skincare products to prevent your face and lips from chapping. ✔️ Wear more clothes. West Sichuan is not only windy but also has large temperature differences. The wind can make your head hurt, so hats are important. ✔️ Bring high-SPF sunscreen to West Sichuan, as the UV rays are very strong. Reapply once or twice a day. ✔️ Be sure to use the restrooms at gas stations and service areas. Otherwise, you'll regret it when only pit toilets are left. ✔️ There are no shortcuts at Four Girls Mountain. You can either hike or take the sightseeing bus to the top. Anyone who says they can take you up a shortcut is lying. ✔️💊 Bring enough medicine, including headache medicine, cold medicine, and motion sickness medicine! Food delivery services are not well-developed in the mountains, and there's nothing available at night! ✔️ You'll spend most of your time in the car in West Sichuan, so remember to bring more high-calorie snacks, such as self-heating rice, instant noodles, and chocolate, to avoid getting hungry on the road. Don't bring puffed food, as the bags will expand. • 🧳Equipment 👉 A 24-inch suitcase + a backpack is enough. 👉 Jacket + long pants + long sleeves + cotton jacket + long socks + hat + comfortable walking shoes 👉 Lotion + lip balm + cream + sunglasses + sunscreen + lipstick 👉 Charger + power bank + headphones + camera + ID photo + thermos
