Ganzi's Winter Treasure Route, the S434 Provincial Road Snow Scenery is Stunning

Winter in Western Sichuan is clear and sunny, making it the perfect time for a self-driving trip. The S434 Provincial Road is known as Ganzi's winter "treasure route"! It stretches from Tagong Town in Kangding to Moxi Town in Luding County, with magnificent natural landscapes along the way including snow-capped mountains, grasslands, and lakes, earning it the title of "the most beautiful road in Ganzi." Hailuogou, located near Moxi Town in Luding County, is one of the starting points of the S434 Provincial Road. Here you can find modern glaciers where winter glaciers blend with snowy scenery. You can also soak in hot springs amidst the icy landscape, look up at Gongga Snow Mountain and glaciers, with snowflakes falling on your shoulders, experiencing the "fire and ice duality." The Yumo Road section (from Hailuogou to Kangding) is mostly above 3,000 meters in elevation. In winter, it becomes a "frost corridor," with trees along the roadside covered in silver, frozen lakes, and rolling seas of clouds. The Red Stone Beach along the way is rare worldwide, where red algae on the stones contrast beautifully with the snow mountains and forests. Red Stone Park is the best viewing spot. Driving this route, visitors will enjoy an ultimate visual feast, feel the wonder and grandeur of nature, and gain surprises and relaxation. Come check in and capture every stop of this stunning winter journey in Ganzi with your camera!
