Required supplies:
Thick jackets and pants: Because the temperature is low, you need to keep warm.
Hats, scarves, gloves: Protect your head, neck, and hands from the cold.
Sunglasses and sunscreen: The UV rays are strong in high-altitude areas, so you need sun protection.
Toiletries: Including toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, shower gel, etc.
Portable kettle: Convenient for boiling water to drink.
Camera and drone: Record the beautiful scenery during the trip.
Anti-skid chains for self-driving: Prevent skidding on snowy roads.
Oxygen: You don't need to bring a lot, because most people don't have symptoms of altitude sickness.
This route includes two attractions, Zimei Pass and Lengga Lake. Choosing route a allows you to ride a horse up the mountain, there is no time conflict, and the distance is relatively close. Zimei Pass can be reached by car and is the closest to the snow mountain. Lengga Lake can capture the reflection of the snow mountain, and it will be even more beautiful if you encounter the sunrise over the golden mountain. The Ganzi route is really beautiful, even more beautiful than the Aba I visited before. If you have plenty of time, you can choose a 4-day and 3-night itinerary, if you are short on time, you can also choose a 3-day and 2-night itinerary. The recommended homestays are all good, the bosses are all very nice, especially the boss of Banshanshuiju Homestay, who will drink and play games with the guests, creating a great atmosphere. Wish you a pleasant journey!
