The winter ceiling of Western Sichuan! Mugecuo is so beautiful it leaves you speechless

Freshly snowed Mugecuo Like a crystal ball enchanted with magic🔮 The lake is dressed in a white coat Snow-capped mountains sparkle with fine golden light under the sun Wooden boardwalks wind through the frosted forest sea Every step feels like walking into a scene from the movie "Winter Sonata" 🍂 Autumn and winter exclusive scenery: ▫️ Golden Rhododendron Gorge Maple leaves red / pine needles yellow / spruce green intertwined Hiking the boardwalk feels like walking through a painting (9:00-11:00 is the softest light) ▫️ Snow peaks reflecting on the lake Visibility is super high in autumn! Lotus Snow Mountain reflects in the Seven Color Sea Golden period for drone shots ▫️ Hot spring boiled eggs Soak your feet by the medicinal hot spring pool while eating natural hot spring eggs 📸 Best shooting times: 🌅 10 AM - 12 PM: Morning light penetrates the thin fog Casting stunning Tyndall light on the snow 🌄 3:30 PM - 5:50 PM: Sunset on the golden mountain The entire snow mountain is bathed in a golden halo 🚗 Weekend getaway guide: 📍 Navigation: Kangding Love Song Scenic Area · Mugecuo ✔️ 3.5-hour self-drive from Chengdu (highly recommend Provincial Road 434! The scenery along the way is amazing) ✔️ Altitude 3780 meters, walk slowly and carefully ✔️ Huge temperature difference! Thin down jacket + windbreaker are life-saving gear ✔️ Triple sun protection! The plateau UV rays are very strong
