The weather is getting hotter and hotter🌞 Escaping the heat and playing in the water🌊has become a theme for short-distance trips around the area If you don't want to be in a crowded stream You need to find a place with fewer people This time I chose Longcanggou in Ya'an 🚘About transportation Departing from Chengdu, take the Chengwenqiong or Chengya expressway, after Mingshan enter the Yaxi expressway, the road conditions are very good (less traffic on Chengwenqiong).
