It’s not Switzerland, it’s the summer in western Sichuan

Western Sichuan is a perfect blend of nature and culture. The mountains and rivers here are majestic, the lakes are clear, and the meadows are endless, like a canvas spread out on the earth; the temples here are solemn, the folk customs are splendid, and the light of faith shines through the years. It is the poetry and distance that the soul yearns for. Traffic tips: Self-driving: Starting from Chengdu, it is recommended to take Chengya Expressway or Yakang Expressway. You can take National Highway 318 to Daocheng Yading. The scenery along the way is beautiful, but the road conditions are complicated in some sections, so you need to have skilled driving skills and check the vehicle in advance.

Seda: famous for its red monks' houses all over the mountains and its strong religious atmosphere.
