Western Sichuan in autumn is legendary! Every frame looks like stepping into an oil painting

Who understands, family! Autumn in Western Sichuan is truly breathtakingly beautiful! Gunong Village, this secluded paradise, every snapshot is a masterpiece that needs no filter—streams, wooden houses, yaks, barley fields… fulfilling all my autumn fairy tale imaginations😍 The roads along the way are stunningly beautiful! Surrounded by colorful forests, layers of red, yellow, and green, driving feels like traveling through a painting, making you want to stop and take photos anytime~ The village is even more healing, with wooden houses scattered neatly, streams gently flowing, yaks leisurely grazing on the grass, and the air filled with fresh herbal scents, instantly escaping the city’s noise! 🏕️Super practical camping tips, jot them down quickly: ✔️Best camping spots are the scenic area at the foot of the snow mountain or along the way to Gunong Village, with snow mountains overhead and colorful forests below, the view is amazing ✔️Bring your own gear! Renting locally is expensive; tents, tarps, tables, and chairs can all be prepared in advance ✔️Huge temperature difference between day and night! Be sure to bring a 0-degree thermal quilt, or you’ll wake up freezing at night ✔️Recommend reserving at least half a day for camping; mornings are cool and you can slowly enjoy the scenery ✔️The campsite is very convenient! There are toilets and running water, no worries at all ✔️No worries about food shopping~ The campsite is close to the town, making it super easy to buy fresh ingredients, cooking hot pot while camping is pure happiness! 🍜Must-try local food: Try the Tibetan yogurt, hand-pulled meat, and warm butter tea at small roadside eateries—heartwarming and stomach-warming, perfect for recharging after a tiring walk~ 🚗Transportation Tips: Just navigate to “Gunong Village,” the entire road is easy to drive, even beginners don’t need to worry, and the colorful forests along the way are beautiful all the way to the destination! Autumn in Western Sichuan is definitely worth rushing for! Now is the best time to enjoy the colorful forests, so grab your friends and gear, and head to Gunong Village for an oil painting-like autumn camping trip~
