Xiaojiazhai in Western Sichuan | Free after November 16.

It is said that Songpinggou is a substitute for Jiuzhaigou, so I went there on the weekend. I read all the travel guides before departure. Some people said that there was no need to take the sightseeing bus to Changhai, but I couldn't help but want to go. 😊 It was really the dry season, and I went there in the morning, so the sun couldn't shine on the lake, and there was no snow on the distant mountains. It was hard to describe. The water in Wucai Pond was also pitifully low. 🍁 The best scenery is only on the section from Mohai to the entrance of the scenic area, a round trip of 3.5 km, with few people and beautiful scenery. The colors are dyed from the peaks to the river valleys and the banks of the Haizi, reflected in the water, with blue water and sky, and colorful red leaves, forming a picturesque natural landscape. 🍁 Bailahai and Shangbaila Village outside the scenic area are also good choices, and even free of charge. Navigate to Kuanghai Hotel, about 10 minutes by car. Bailahai feels more beautiful than Changhai Haizi in the scenic area, with more water and colorful forests. 🎫 Tickets: Adults: CNY 70 Seniors aged 60–65 (free on non-holidays) Seniors over 65 years old: free Boat: CNY 60 Sightseeing bus: round trip CNY 70, one way CNY 50 Tour time: 4–5 hours Tips: The scenic area is 2,100–2,900 meters above sea level, with no altitude sickness.
