4–5 Day Western Sichuan Itinerary

How to Spend 4–5 Days in Western Sichuan|||As a driver who has been driving in Western Sichuan for 10 years, I think the best time to visit Western Sichuan is October and November! The mountains will be closed in December (for forest fire prevention). 1. The roads in Western Sichuan are golden at this time of year. 2. In autumn, you must take a DJI Mavic 3 series drone to take photos of the golden mountains at sunrise. Only a drone can bring the snow-capped mountains closer. 3. Choose to travel at the beginning or end of the lunar month to see the starry sky and Milky Way. If you travel in the middle of the month, you won't see the stars because the moonlight is too bright. 4. Choose a tour guide who is fun and wants to take photos more than you do. However, tour guides in Sichuan are generally good, and their service is excellent. Only some of them are not good at photography. Tour guides and travelers should get along with each other. Every tour guide wants to take good care of their travelers and become good friends with them. They hope that travelers will introduce their friends to them in the future. They don't mind driving dozens of kilometers more to take beautiful photos, as long as everyone is happy. 5. Choose a car: It's best to choose an off-road vehicle. For example, you need an off-road vehicle to go to Yala Snow Mountain, Gedilamu, and Jiagenba Aerial Garden, as well as many other wild attractions in Western Sichuan.
