Glacier Flower Sea

Glacier and flower sea, this is the place where the summer of Western Sichuan becomes legendary. If landscapes had ranks, the summer scenery of Genie would definitely be at the top. Driving through Genie, I was truly amazed all the way, unable to stop. Snow mountains, glaciers, grasslands, flower seas, streams, forests Even in Western Sichuan, such a scene is rare. It's incredibly beautiful, everywhere you look is a stunning view. This journey is like the dreamy scenes from a Hayao Miyazaki manga. What's more, even during the peak travel season in Western Sichuan, there are few visitors here. This beautiful and uncrowded five-star route, if missed this summer, will have to wait another year. 🚘【Travel Suggestions】 D1: Chengdu-Kangding-S434-Yuzixi-Xinduqiao D2: Xinduqiao-Yajiang-Tianlu 18 Bends-Litang D3: Litang-Tiejiangshan-Wild Hot Springs-Xiazetong D4: Xiazetong-Eye of Genie-Lenggu Temple-Zebavillage D5: Zebavillage-Hangda Campsite-Gemuvillage-Batang D6: Batang-Cuopugou-Sister Lakes-Maoya Grassland-Litang D7: Litang-Chengdu 📷【Photo Check-in Spots Recommended】 1⃣Yuzixi Sunset Be sure to watch a sunset at Yuzixi, surrounded by 360° snow mountains, or you can replace it with a visit to Yala surrounded by clouds. 2⃣Litang Changqingchun Ke'er Temple's Back Mountain From the back mountain, you can overlook the entire county town, be sure to watch a sunset, it's super beautiful. 3⃣️Xiazetong Village Xiazetong is Ding Zhen's hometown, halfway up the mountain there are cabins facing the sacred mountain and grasslands full of wildflowers, where you can overlook the entire village, and there is a wild hot spring by the bridge at the entrance of the village. 4⃣️Eye of Genie The Eye of Genie is beautiful when shot from a drone, opposite is the starting point of the Genie C line trek, and the grasslands here are full of golden wildflowers. 5⃣️Zebavillage (Essence of the South Line) Zebavillage faces the snow mountain, and the back mountain grassland has a solitary tree, an incomparably beautiful sight, and you can also take a local motorcycle to the foot of the main peak glacier of Genie. 6⃣️Gemuvillage A beautiful secret hidden in the valley, completely surrounded by a sea of flowers, calling it a paradise is not an exaggeration, regret not staying here for a night. 7⃣️Cuopugou The water is super clear, comparable to Jiuzhaigou, and the flowers by the main lake are also very beautiful, but the ticket is a bit expensive. 8⃣️Sister Lakes A free attraction on Route 318, the check-in spot is at the mid-mountain viewing platform. 9⃣️Maoya Grassland The sea of flowers stretches for tens of kilometers, a true feast of flowers, the only downside is that the roadside is fenced off, so you can only admire from the periphery. 🔖Tips: 1. Exercise less and drink more water to avoid altitude sickness, choose an oxygen hotel in Litang. 2. Accommodation in villages is limited, staying in a Tibetan local's home in Zebavillage is an option, you can bring your own sleeping bag. 3. The temperature difference between morning and evening is large, be sure to prepare a windbreaker and down jacket. 4. Some roads have potholes, it is recommended to go by SUV, and sedans should be cautious.
