Sichuan Aba Diexi Haizi | China's Most Beautiful Earthquake Site

🌈 Diexi Haizi is located in Mao County, Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, the largest Qiang settlement in China. It is located at the foot of Minshan Mountain in the upper reaches of the Minjiang River and is a unique scenic spot along the Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong tourist routes, both World Natural Heritage sites. In 1933, the "Diexi Earthquake" blocked a section of the main stream of the Minjiang River, forming 11 barrier lakes. Over the past century, the Haizi has been surrounded by green mountains, lush grass, and rippling blue waters, creating a beautiful and charming landscape. 📍 Location 5 li southeast of Diexi Town, Mao County, Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province 🌈 Overview The first time you see Diexi Haizi, you'll be amazed by its beauty. The clear blue lake is like a giant sapphire set among the mountains. The surrounding peaks are undulating, and the green trees on the mountains reflect the lake, creating a stunning landscape. 📸 Photo Spots ✨ The viewing platform by the Haizi offers a panoramic view of the magnificent scenery. Every shot is a masterpiece. ✨ Stroll along the lakeside and find some uniquely shaped stones or trees as foregrounds for your photos. 💡 Travel Tips 🎈 The best time to visit is spring and autumn, when the weather is pleasant and the scenery is at its best. 🎈 You can drive there and enjoy the beautiful scenery of western Sichuan along the way. 🎈 Remember to bring warm clothes and sunscreen, as the weather in the mountains can change quickly. 🎈 There are some farmhouses nearby where you can taste local specialties such as yak meat and barley cakes. 💕 Diexi Haizi is a truly enchanting place, like stepping into a dream world. 💕 If you love nature and exploring beautiful scenery, don't miss Diexi Haizi.
