Where to go for May Day from Chengdu? The town under the snow mountain

Looking at the snow mountain from Chengdu, the picture of the city and the snow mountain in the same frame is always so fascinating. However, due to weather reasons, it can only be seen about a dozen times a year. This is Moxi Ancient Town at the foot of Hailuogou Mountain, an important transfer station for Ganzi travel in the past. Here you can see the stunning picture of the town and the snow mountain in the same frame up close! What to see in Moxi? 👒Tourist spots: 1️⃣Catholic Church. Located in the middle of the ancient town, it was a place passed by the Red Army during the Long March and where Chairman Mao stayed. 2️⃣Yajiageng Pass. Crossing the Yajiageng Pass towards Kangding New City along the Yumo Road, the journey is accompanied by snow mountains, and the high mountain rhododendrons bloom one after another. 3️⃣Hailuogou. It has been reopened for almost half a year now. The glacier was damaged a bit after the earthquake. You can go when the weather is good, and skip it when the weather is bad, after all, the ticket + cable car + sightseeing car is quite expensive. 4️⃣Red Stone Park. On the way to Yajiageng, there is a gully covered with red stones extending from the snow mountain. Unfortunately, most of the red stones were covered after the earthquake, and now you can only see a few red stones scattered. 🏕Accommodation recommendation: Where to stay in Moxi❓Currently, there is absolutely no need to book online in advance, just go there and find a place on the spot. There is a wide selection, and some very nice homestays and hotels are also very cheap, especially since the popularity has not yet recovered. 🍱Food recommendation: There are so many restaurants on the street, with all kinds of types available. This time in Moxi, I only had one meal, the Xiankeshi stone pot beef🥩, which was generous in portion and tasted good, and received unanimous praise from the whole family. If you don't have a good place to go for May Day💁‍♂️, why not come here and take a look? The recovery of Moxi's popularity still needs time, and currently, this place is definitely considered a relatively unpopular spot during the holiday season.
