【Around Chengdu】Weekend Round Trip to Kangding Love Song Tour

【Around Chengdu】Weekend Round Trip to Kangding Love Song Tour💕 On the galloping mountains, a drifting cloud... The well-known folk song has made me long for Kangding since I was a child. The galloping mountains mentioned in the song refer to the Mugecuo Scenic Area in Kangding. Pick a weekend to depart from Chengdu, and just go with the flow. 👉Basic Information👈 📍Address: Navigate directly to [Mugecuo Scenic Area] ⏱Opening Hours: 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM (last entry at 4:30 PM) 💰Price: 180 RMB/person, includes adult ticket + sightseeing bus. Similar to most scenic spots in Sichuan, you have to take the sightseeing bus inside; private cars are not allowed. 🚙Transportation: About 4 hours driving from downtown Chengdu. Recommended to spend 4 hours touring. Mugecuo Scenic Area, also known as Kangding Love Song Scenic Area, includes [Yaoshi Boiling Spring], [Seven-Color Lake], [Azalea Gorge], [Fragrant Grassland], [Mugecuo], and [Red Sea Grassland]. 👍👍Recommended Stops [Mugecuo] After getting off the car and checking tickets, the shuttle bus will take you directly to the mountaintop, which is Mugecuo. Mugecuo translates to "Wildman Lake" in Chinese, a huge mountain lake that will make you say wow as soon as you get off. [Seven-Color Lake] A small lake in the canyon with rich layers of colors. The water reflects different colors under the sunlight, combined with various plant layers, making it a perfect photo spot! [Pine Forest on the Hiking Trail] A favorite for Japanese-style forest boys and girls! With sunlight, the photo rate is 💯. 🚫🚫Not Recommended [Red Sea Grassland] You need to take a boat or ride a horse to get there. Just to say, waiting in the cold wind for the boat is long. Horse riding is likely to be a rip-off. There are many photo-worthy grasslands along the way, so if the cost is too high, it’s not necessary. [Yaoshi Boiling Spring] There are several natural springs here, nurturing a warm pool, but... now it has developed into a crowded foot-soaking spot... If you are tired and want to relax, it’s okay, but it feels a bit strange. ⚠️⚠️Tibetan Area Precautions! ① Don’t be overconfident about your health; altitude sickness is really uncomfortable. If worried, buy inflatable oxygen at the hospital on the first day. Bottled oxygen from street vendors is basically useless. ② Many activities like horse riding can easily be scams! Be very careful! ③ Huge temperature differences, keep warm! Keep warm! Keep warm! ④ Strong sunlight, use sun protection! Use sun protection! Use sun protection! ⑤ Driving in western Sichuan has complex road conditions, take breaks. ———————— About me: Born in 【Chongqing】, Grew up in 【Australia】, Registered in 【Shanghai】, Settled in 【Foshan】, Working in 【Chengdu】 An architectural designer 🐶.
