Taking Your Dog to Ruo Ding Mountain in Aba, the "Little Switzerland" of Western Sichuan | Who Says Western Sichuan Only Has Daocheng

**Ruo Ding Mountain at an altitude of 2200m+**, with daytime summer temperatures of **20℃+**, few people, beautiful scenery, and dog-friendly spaces to run freely—definitely the ultimate summer escape! **🏡 About Ruo Ding Mountain** This is a paradise personally created by Abu over more than 10 years! Facing Mount Gongga, with the golden sunlight on the peaks overhead⛰️, the mountain features grasslands, wooden cabins, swings, and a group of healing little animals—**Lafeng (dog), Lafei (horse), Gongga (cat), and little calves and geese**—running freely on the lawn every day, as if stepping into a fairy tale world~ **🐾 Reasons to Bring Your Dog** ✅ **Pet-friendly paradise**: Dogs can be themselves! Interact with little horses and calves, run freely on the mountaintop lawn ✅ **200% photo-worthy**: Wooden cabins + snow mountains + swings, every shot looks like a scene from the movie "Heidi" ✅ **Perfect summer retreat**: While Chengdu hits 35℃+, here you just need a jacket, and stargazing at night is super romantic **🚗 Travel Tips** 📍 Navigate to "Hailuogou Ruo Ding Mountain Camp," 1 hour from Moxi Ancient Town ⚠️ **Driving warning**: Narrow mountain roads with many sharp turns! Landslides are common in the rainy season; novice drivers are advised to hire local drivers **📸 Must-visit Spots** 1️⃣ **Mountaintop Lawn**: Take photos with Lafeng and Lafei, with Mount Gongga as the backdrop 2️⃣ **Wooden Cabins**: Feel like living in "Little Forest," with sea of clouds and golden sunlight on the mountains visible when you open the window in the morning 3️⃣ **Cliff Swing**: Swing out with snow mountains right beneath your feet—thrilling and dreamy **🍲 Food and Accommodation Suggestions** ▫️ The camp offers barbecue and chicken soup hotpot, surprisingly delicious! ▫️ Wooden cabins need to be booked in advance **✨ Real Experience** The dogs played until exhausted, haha! Chased the calves but got chased back, then lay down watching the stars at night✨ **The key is there are few people!** Unlike crowded popular spots, here people and nature truly coexist harmoniously~ **📌 Notes** ▪️ Big temperature difference! Bring a thick jacket + sunscreen ▪️ Weak signal on the mountain, download offline maps in advance ▪️ Protect the environment, don’t scare the little animals
