I thought Mount Siguniang was already beautiful, until I went here
The Moon Lake in spring is so beautiful!!
Moon Lake is considered a lesser-known secret spot in Western Sichuan, not many tourists and you can even camp there. The scenery is gorgeous with the lake and grasslands blending together, it's closed in winter, but reopens in spring!
📍Destination: Lotus Sea Forest Park - Moon Lake
🏔️Altitude: 3500m (rich vegetation, less likely to suffer from altitude sickness)
🎫Ticket: A cleaning fee of 20 RMB per person is collected when going up the mountain.

Moon Lake, a hidden sanctuary, is a mesmerizing blue dreamland
After always thinking Jiuzhaigou was a paradise on earth, it wasn't until I stepped into this unknown sanctuary—Kangding Moon Lake—that I was as astounded and impressed as a night sky twinkling with stars. 🌌
The tranquility here is as if time has been silently frozen, immersing me in the blue-green hues of the lake. 🌊 No need to worry about crowds, it's just me and nature, the lake, the forest, the distant snow-capped mountains, and the leisurely grazing cattle and sheep, sharing this peaceful moment. 🏞️
🚗 Departing from Chengdu, a 6-7 hour drive takes you through scenery that feels like a flowing painting, refreshing the spirit. Starting from Xinduqiao town is even more convenient, requiring only 2 hours and 30 minutes to reach this secret place.
📸 Travel tips? Drone photography is a must! Overlooking the entire Moon Lake, the blue-green waters are like a gem set upon the earth, creating a stunning picture with the snow mountains, cattle, sheep, and forests. Overcast and rainy days have their own charm, as if nature has prepared another gift for us. 🎁
🚶♂️ Light hiking, camping, hot springs... this place can fulfill all your outdoor fantasies. However, remember to bring food and water, as there are no restaurants to prepare a feast for you. 🍽️
Sedans can easily reach the destination, and the road conditions are good, so there's no need to worry. 🚗
At an altitude of 3600 meters, most people won't experience much discomfort. However, the area is closed in winter and reopens in spring, so remember to plan your trip in advance! 🗺️
Entering the village requires a management fee of only 20 yuan per person, and parking for a day also costs just 20 yuan. 💰
This secret place, as if a gift from nature, awaits us to discover, appreciate, and cherish. 🎁💖

Some people call it Lotus Lake, Lotus Sea, Moon Lake
Now the attraction is collectively known as Lotus Sea National Forest Park
📍Location: Lotus Sea National Forest Park
🚗Transportation: 7 hours drive from Chengdu, 2 hours past Xinduqiao
📈Travel Route:
D1: Chengdu—Kangding—S434 Internet-famous Highway—Yuzixi—Xinduqiao
D2: Xinduqiao—Moon Lake—Lianhua Lake—Xinduqiao
D3: Xinduqiao—Honghaizi—Sidingcuo—Chengdu
🏔Attractions
1⃣Wild Hot Spring: About 2 kilometers from Lotus Sea, there are small hot springs and waterfalls, where thick fog rises when hot and cold alternate, making it feel like a paradise. Those who want to soak in the hot springs should prepare swimsuits in advance, and you can choose to ride a motorcycle up the mountain
2⃣Mountain Top Lotus Lake: Also called Lotus Sea, but actually there are no lotus flowers haha, it's because the locals put a plant called 'lotus grass' in the pond to dye the water green, which is refreshingly beautiful. You can choose to hike or ride a motorcycle up the mountain, and the plateau lake at the end is very much like the Milk Sea in Daocheng!
3⃣Moon Lake at the Foot of the Mountain: If you like hiking and camping, you must go here, with green grasslands and forests all over, and pure azure blue lake water. Even after seeing many mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas, stepping into the secret realm of Xichuan—Moon Lake, I am still attracted by the full view of green!
🏕Camping in the Scenic Area
The Moon Lake at the foot of the mountain is super suitable for camping, with low altitude. You can first hike to choose the best spot and then move the equipment to set up camp. Another thing is that the road is bumpy, so consider carefully if riding a motorcycle, and be prepared for sun protection, shade, and protection against mosquito bites.
