Bipenggou is located in Lixian County, Aba Prefecture, Sichuan Province. Known as the "Little Switzerland of Western Sichuan," it attracts many tourists with its unique natural scenery and rich outdoor activities. Here is a detailed two-day, one-night travel guide to help you experience the stunning scenery of Bipenggou. Day 1: Depart from Chengdu and arrive at Bipenggou Transportation: Depart from Chengdu and drive or take a long-distance bus to Bipenggou. The journey takes about 3-4 hours. We recommend driving so you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of western Sichuan along the way. Accommodation: We recommend staying at a hotel near the scenic area, such as Nam Lake Resort Hotel. Some hotels offer free scenic area tickets and shuttle services. Itinerary: After arriving at Bipenggou, take a short break and then visit Taoping Qiang Village or Ganbao Tibetan Village to experience the unique Tibetan and Qiang culture. For dinner, try local specialties such as yak meat hot pot. Day 2: Explore Bipenggou Tickets and transportation: Book tickets online in advance (CNY 105, including a sightseeing bus) to save time queuing. The sightseeing bus only goes to Shanghaizi, after which you need to choose an electric car (CNY 30/section) or walk to visit the core attractions. Travel route: Scenic area entrance → Longwang Lake → Primeval Forest → Hongshi Ping → Shanghaizi Service Area → Zhuoma Beach → Bailong Waterfall → Panyang Lake → Hongshan Lake → Swallow Rock Nest. Longwang Lake, Panyang Lake, and Swallow Rock are must-see attractions. Photo spots: Panyang Lake and Moon Bay are great places to take photos of snow-capped mountains reflected in the water, while Swallow Rock offers a close-up view of snow-capped mountains and waterfalls. Lunch: Food in the scenic area is expensive, so we recommend bringing your own snacks and a thermos. Hot water is available at the scenic area service area. Practical tips Altitude sickness prevention: Bipenggou is at a high altitude, so prepare portable oxygen bottles in advance, rest, and avoid strenuous exercise. Clothing: The temperature difference between morning and evening is large, so prepare warm clothes, gloves, scarves, and sunglasses. Rain gear is also essential in case of sudden rain. Cash: Some attractions and merchants have unstable signals, so we recommend bringing a small amount of cash. The beauty of Bipenggou lies in its changing scenery throughout the year. Whether it's spring, summer, autumn, or winter, there are always unexpected surprises. This two-day, one-night itinerary is compact but fulfilling. Bring your good mood and go on a spontaneous trip!
