Altay in Sichuan
Altay in Sichuan - Yele Lake Bar in Chengdu
Recently it was popular on CCTV. The local cultural scenery is refreshing and refreshing. After watching it, I wanted to go on a trip where anyone can go, but it was too far and my fingertips were too thin.
It doesn't matter, there is also our own Altay around Chengdu - (located in Yele Township, Mianning County, Liangshan Prefecture), which retains the scenery of plateau lakes at an altitude of 2,600.
For fun~
2 days and 1 night self-driving route
It is 320km away from Chengdu, so self-driving experience is the best!
Day1: Chengdu➡️Menghuo City➡️Shimian County
Day2: Shimian County➡️Yele Lake➡️Chengdu
It is not recommended to go on a one-day tour as the time is too tight. It takes 5 hours to drive from Chengdu. The two-day trip is relatively comfortable. On the first day, you can go to Shimian to eat barbecue, go to Menghuo City for fun, and stay in Shimian County or Liziping in the evening. It took about 1 hour to drive there the next day.
About camping
You can camp by the lake and watch the starry sky here at night, it’s so beautiful~
However, there are fees for camping there, which is not expensive. There is a big temperature difference between morning and evening, so it is more suitable for friends with outdoor experience.
Must-see attractions
Along the way, we encountered cattle, sheep, monkeys, and black mountain pigs, which was very original;
The blue lake, distant mountains and close water, cattle and sheep meadows, and villages halfway up the mountain really gave me a sense of sight of Altay Xinjiang.
You can take photos by the lake📷Primitive small forest and grassland
Taking photos is really impressive and the scenery is stunning!!!

About food
Asbestos BBQ and Xichang Haggis Rice Noodles are a must-try; Jiuxiang Beef
There is nothing delicious near Yele Lake, so it is recommended to bring your own snacks and fruits.
Best viewing time
From June to September, Yele Lake is the most beautiful season. The lake is blue, surrounded by primeval forests, with snow-capped mountains reflected in it, and large meadows with clusters of rhododendrons and wild flowers. Cattle and sheep roam waist-deep in the lake. Grazing peacefully in the pasture.
Attention ⚠️
There is a big temperature difference between day and night in Yele Lake, so you should wear a thick coat and a hat to keep warm.
Girls should wear sunscreen and UV rays are stronger

Yele Lake in Liangshan, a secret place unknown to 99% of people
Yele, I stumbled upon this place online and was instantly intrigued. Taking advantage of the holiday, I drove there from Chengdu, which took about four hours. Upon entering the lake area, I was truly stunned by the natural and primitive scenery of mountains, lakes, livestock, and houses. Driving around the lake made me feel incredibly relaxed. Forget about the crowded Dali; this is the real place where you can feel the wind. Here are some tips:
1. There's no admission fee, but there's someone guarding the entrance to the lake area. Whether you can get in depends on your luck. I had to talk to the gatekeeper for a while, and eventually, after registering my information, I was allowed in.
2. There are hardly any tourists; I only encountered what seemed to be an outdoor group in the entire afternoon, and I was the only individual traveler.
3. Most of the journey is on the highway. Just navigate to Yele Lake. There's a winding mountain road with lots of small stones just before you reach the lake area, so be careful with your tires.
4. There aren't many places to stay inside, so I suggest camping or staying in Shimian after your visit.
5. If you have extra time, you can also visit the nearby Menghuo City.

A good place to see autumn scenery in Ya'an, with red leaves and snow mountains without spending money
Menghuo City is the last battlefield in Zhuge Liang's seven captures of Menghuo, and it was here that Menghuo completely surrendered to Zhuge Liang, so this place was named 'Menghuo City'.
Next to Menghuo City is a well-equipped resort with decent accommodation conditions. Of course, it is more recommended for everyone to stay in the small wooden houses on the meadow. Here you can see the sea of clouds in the morning, the sunset in the afternoon, and the starry sky and the Milky Way at night. Next to it is the original dense forest, and it is very beautiful to walk through. The stay experience is very good, if you are interested, you can place an order online, and then come and stay for a night to feel it!
If you stay in the resort outside, you can take the scenic area's shuttle bus to visit the attractions during the day. As the place where Zhuge Liang captured Menghuo for the seventh time, it now has 'primitive forest, large meadow, red stone beach, beacon tower, moon lake' 5 natural attractions, as well as glass bridge, forest trail, horse field, ATV and other entertainment projects; the largest open area in Menghuo City is the 'large meadow', which is the 'first wild giant panda relocation site in the world', and it can be selected here to see its good ecology. In the autumn, the trees and shrubs in the large meadow have turned yellow and red, and the scenery is quite beautiful.

However, because the small door is closed, you have not yet opened it. You will go straight to the alpine meadow. There is a mangrove tree in the neck. The legend is the god tree that helps Meng.

JUNS.
Asbestos Meng won the city, it is said that Meng received the first six games, and he and Zhuge invited the seventh game. Legend has it that before the seventh battle started, Zhuge Liang stole a tree of gods that Meng received. Without this tree, the god tree that can be moved to Tianbingtian will help him to win. Finally, the blood of the soldiers was stained with red stones, and Meng was crying in the sky, and the tears turned into a river between the red rocks.
