Western Sichuan Small Loop Family-Friendly Non-Traffic Route

Finally took the Western Sichuan Small Loop with the kids during the National Day holiday. Since we were driving with children, after a lot of research, we chose to travel counterclockwise. Successfully avoided traffic jams, and took Provincial Road 434 on the way back (this route is stunning, with many attractions, ideal for stopping and taking photos). Below is a simplified itinerary; a detailed version will be shared later. · 📍Day ❶: Chengdu ➠ Dujiangyan China Panda Garden ➠ 9.
