This is the ultimate winter hiking experience in Western Sichuan, see snow-capped mountains and glaciers in 3 days

Winter hiking spots in Western Sichuan are all closed! Closed! Closed! ✅ To let everyone enjoy the fun of hiking and beautiful scenery in winter, we designed this 3-day easy hiking route: Huajian Mountain sea of clouds sunrise + Yema Haizi + Zheduo Mountain Blue Ice Lake. A single trip to Huajian Mountain or Yema Haizi or Blue Ice Lake glacier ❌ might feel a bit lacking for those wanting an in-depth hiking experience. Therefore, we connect these three spots over 3 days. You can enjoy the golden sunlight on Mount Gongga from the Huajian Mountain campsite, admire the sea of clouds and snowy rime forests along the way, and feast on glaciers at Yema Haizi and Zheduo Mountain Blue Ice Lake ❄. Glide on the glaciers, lie down and listen to the pulse of the earth, and get the same glacier photo spots as in Tibet. 👇👇 Simple itinerary reference, about 💰1k+ per person: Day 1: Chengdu - Ya'an - Lengqi Town - Grassland - Huajian Mountain (Huajian Mountain dormitory, dinner included) 🚶Hiking about 10km Day 2: Huajian Mountain - Yema Haizi - Laoyulin Village (breakfast included, Laoyulin homestay standard room) 🚶Hiking about 15km Day 3: Laoyulin - Zheduo Mountain - Blue Ice Lake - Kangding - Chengdu 🚶Hiking about 8km 📅 Departure every Friday morning, hiking gear provided 🙋‍♂️ For detailed itinerary, feel free to contact us
