2025 Daofu Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

In Ganzi, Sichuan, at the congregation of scenic areas around Xinduqiao municipal, to the north is the Moshi Park (Inked Rock Park). These rocks are in grey shades, as though immersed with calligraphy ink, thus the name "Inked Rock". And it was awesome to visit the park in autumn to appreciate the rock forest adorned by the surrounding's autumn display. #china #sichuan #ganzi #naturalwonders #thingstodo The rock here is a type of rare rock formed inside the Earth, then tectonic activities had somehow pushed it to the surface. Over the years, these rocks are weathered forming an array of interesting structures and texture, with what appears like folds, jagged edges, rugged surface and appearance, and some are rather smooth. At an altitude of 3,500m above sea level, it is a transitional zone from tree forest to grassland. Forests, shrubs and grasses are found here and the surrounding hills, creating autumn shades of green, yellow, orange, brown and red. Wild animals can sometimes be seen here, and chance of viewing is uncertain. The locals rear yak and horses, and these animals can sometimes be seen here as well. I visited the park twice, the second visit (2024) was 10 days later than the first (2023). It was noticed that the yellow display of the hills in the first visit, was redder in the second visit. Notably, the entire park looked redder in the second visit. The photos shown here are a mixture from both the visits. Moshi Park is often included as one of the destinations in Daocheng Yading tours. The nearest village to her is the Bamei village. There are vantage points to view the rock forest from a distance, and there are walkways to walk beside and among the rocks.

There are few people here, and the scenery is as beautiful as Siguniang Mountain. I love the rainbow road leading to the snow-capped mountains the most. The forest on both sides is covered in golden autumn colors. Especially now, it feels like being in an autumn fairy tale world. There are snow-capped mountains, streams, wild horses, meadows, and colorful forests. Sitting by the clear stream and looking at the snow-capped mountains nearby, That moment is so beautiful that it feels like entering a dream. . —Transportation Guide— 📍Location: Yala Snow Mountain Scenic Area, Ganzi, Sichuan 🚗Self-driving: Navigate to Yala Snow Mountain . 🗺️Travel Guide ❶You can only take a sightseeing bus to Yala Snow Mountain, and there are many beautiful views along the way. ❷The rainbow road at the entrance of the scenic area is great for photos, and you can see the full view of the snow-capped mountains. ❸The sightseeing bus will stop at Yala Bridge for a while, where there are streams, lawns, and colorful forests, making it a great spot for photos. ❹At Basong, you can hike or ride a horse to Sister Lake. ❺On the way back, you can get off at the turquoise lawn, where you can see the snow-capped mountains up close, as well as streams, cattle, and horses. . ⚠️Tips 1️⃣The weather is changeable, and it is beautiful to visit on a sunny day. 2️⃣The ultraviolet rays are strong, so be sure to protect yourself from the sun. 3️⃣If you plan to hike to Sister Lake, be prepared for outdoor activities.

The plateau is really different from the plains! The temperature difference between day and night is large, and it gets colder at higher altitudes and at night. You can buy a shawl at the scenic spot, which looks good in photos and keeps you warm. 🔹Prepare for sun protection, bring sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses. Don't be fooled by the seemingly mild sun; the ultraviolet rays are very strong on the plateau, and it's super easy to get tanned! The sunlight there is quite glaring. 🔹Bring moisturizing skincare products, face masks, and lip balm. The plateau climate is quite dry, and if you don't hydrate your face enough, it will hurt from being too dry, and makeup will cake!

🎈The original picture of Mount Siguniang is straight out, and the aftereffects brought by Western Sichuan are even more intense than a heartbreak! Here comes the summary of my strategy for spending 1700+ on a customized small group tour⛰ If someone hasn't been to Mount Siguniang in the summer, I would really cry to death😭😭 It's really so beautiful that it hits right in the feels without any need for filters! Snow mountains, lakes, grasslands, yaks, log cabins, the beauty here is completely natural and doesn't need any excessive embellishment, 📷a casual snap is just like a blockbuster movie🤩🤩 🔸【Mount Siguniang】 It is divided into three scenic areas: Shuangqiao Valley, Changping Valley, and Haizi Valley. I highly recommend choosing Shuangqiao Valley, where you can enjoy the fun of hiking and also take a tour by car, which is not tiring at all! Shuangqiao Valley is the most developed valley in Mount Siguniang, with a scenic area tour bus that runs through the entire valley. The scenery in the valley is like a huge bonsai, with forests, snow mountains, streams, lakes, and meadows perfectly integrated, and many places will make you feel as if you are in Switzerland. ‼️If you can only choose one place to go in Western Sichuan, take a look at the Western Sichuan small loop, which really meets all travel needs. Spend three days visiting the essence spots like Fish West, Mugecuo, Zheduo Mountain, Moxi Park, Mount Siguniang Shuangqiao Valley, Tagong Grassland, etc.‼️ ❗️❗️【Itinerary】 🍋Day1: Chengdu - Mao's Nose Ridge - Mount Siguniang Shuangqiao Valley - Danba 🍋Day2: Danba - Yala Snow Mountain Viewing Platform - Huiyuan Temple - Moxi Park - Tagong Grassland - Fish West - Xinduqiao 🍋Day3: Xinduqiao - Zheduo Mountain - Mugecuo - Chengdu 📌【Travel Guide】 Recommended travel dates: July every summer.

Tickets: Ticket plus park sightseeing car 150 yuan/person. ✅【Preparations Before Departure】 1. Altitude sickness: I am the kind of person who easily gets altitude sickness, but going to Shuangqiao Valley is no problem. If you are worried, you can prepare some glucose, and if you feel hypoxic after entering the mountain, you can buy an oxygen can, which is available at almost every station for self-service sale. 2. Transportation: For friends who drive by themselves, if you are not often on this route, it is not recommended to drive by yourself. The roads in Western Sichuan are treacherous, especially during the rainy season, so be more cautious as the routes are complex and dangerous. 3. Accommodation: Accommodation is generally chosen in Rilong Town (Mount Siguniang Town), and there are homestays available for accommodation in Shuangqiao Valley, suitable for in-depth travel. 4. Weather: You can check the weather in Xiaojin County before departure, which is generally accurate. Even if it's cloudy on the road, it might be a different scene once you cross the mountain. When the sun comes out, it's really hot, so just wear some easy-to-take-off jackets.

I found the deserted 'Matcha Lake' in western Sichuan and it's insanely beautiful! At the last moment of 2023!? I embarked on my third trip to western Sichuan. This time, I stepped into a less-known county in western Sichuan with my friends - Dao Fu County. I stepped into the secret realm of the towering snow mountains in the painting, the prayer flags, and the green lake. I love this kind of original natural gift that is not destroyed~ It's the shock of seeing Qinghai after flipping through the mountains at first sight. When I stood on the spot and couldn't calm my excitement for a long time, I felt that this trip to Dao Fu was worth it! I want to share this beautiful view with you. About Dao Fu County: The overall altitude of Dao Fu County is around 4000+, so you must adapt to the high altitude in advance before doing outdoor activities. The overall urban facilities of Dao Fu County are already very complete, and the hotels in the county are very good~ You can also choose outdoor homestays to watch the sea of clouds and starry sky, etc. About transportation: Direct flights from all over the country to Chengdu, self-driving from Chengdu into western Sichuan county, we took the 318, the whole journey is about 5.5h, avoid the weekend peak period, there will generally be no traffic jams on the road~ About the route: The surrounding areas of Dao Fu County are all undeveloped scenic spots. We also followed local friends to several natural treasures. Many of them are inaccessible to city vehicles and require a half-hour walk or professional vehicles to enter~ About the season: November to December is the season when the autumn leaves in western Sichuan are more yellow. The scenery taken is more autumnal, and the overall temperature will be lower, so be sure to wear more clothes. Here I share a 3-day and 2-night itinerary: Chengdu - Dao Fu County - Yu Ke Town - Yu Ke Prairie - Yu Ke Pass - Yu Zhu Lake - Ba Mei Town - Mo Shi Park - Chengdu. Only the beautiful scenery that you see on your journey can stay in your mind and let us savor its beauty in every dream. I hope it will not be destroyed too quickly and retain the original sense of nature's gift.

This time I will introduce a very famous scenic spot in Ganzi: Moshi Park. Moshi Park has a unique mylonitic stone forest in the world. It was formed when the sedimentary rocks on the seabed in ancient times gradually rose with the movement of the earth's crust, were crushed by the powerful ground stress, and then were eroded by wind and rain. At present, similar metamorphic rock forest landscapes have not been reported in China and are extremely rare in the world. Its unique geological structure is called "China's Geological Bermuda" by experts and scholars. Looking at the stone forest from afar, you can see numerous peaks, towers standing in a row, rugged and undulating mountains, and numerous scenes, just like a carefully crafted bonsai.
