[Coke][StarEyes] Reflecting on my four-day self-driving trip through Western Sichuan, the most beautiful service area was hidden on the Ya'an-Kangding Expressway – the Tianquan Service Area. It's a must-visit landmark, a dream destination for every man [Chin]. [Highway][Car] Departing from Chengdu, after about 2.5 hours of driving along the Ya'an-Kangding Expressway, the Tianquan Service Area came into view. For me, it was more than just a rest stop; it was an indispensable, ritualistic start to my journey on the 318 Sichuan-Tibet Highway. [FireBalloon][Scenic] The service area is themed around "Panda Home" and "G318 National Highway," with adorable panda art installations and "Must-Drive 318 in This Lifetime" signs everywhere. My friend and I took a photo in front of the unique panda sign, a unique souvenir for every 318 self-driving enthusiast starting their journey. [Hotel][FireBalloon] The food at the service area has a strong Western Sichuan flavor. You can sample authentic Tianquan spicy chicken, hamburger potatoes, and other local delicacies, and get a commemorative stamp at the highway post office to leave a unique mark on your journey. [HeartBeat][DoubleHearts] Whether it's replenishing oxygen tanks, purchasing warm clothing, or enjoying a final cup of "the first cup of milk tea on your way to Tibet," the Tianquan Service Area warms every traveler embarking on their plateau journey. [!][100] Useful Tips: [One] It's recommended to stop for 0.5-1 hour, take photos, and then continue on to Luding and Kangding. [Two] Pet-friendly, and you can also purchase 318-themed car stickers and other cultural and creative souvenirs. #SichuanWesternSelfDrivingTour #SelfDriving318SichuanTibetRoad #TianquanServiceArea #MustDriveInThisLife #MustDrive318
The first stop on the Western Sichuan self-drive mini-loop! Depart from Chengdu and head straight to Kangding, stopping at the popular Tianquan Service Area along the way for a quick break before finally reaching the breathtaking Red Lake. Explore two stunning locations in one day—a relaxing and effortless journey! 🚗 Itinerary: Depart Chengdu at 8:00 AM and drive for two hours to the Tianquan Service Area. This service area, known as the "most popular online shopping area for the 318 shopping festival," is truly photogenic! Must-see spots: the 318 "Must-Drive" sign and the KFC Snow Mountain Wall. Stop for 30 minutes for breakfast. KFC (located on the west side of the Tianquan Service Area on the Yaye Expressway) is recommended; it might be the highest-altitude KFC you'll ever eat! Continue the drive for another three hours, passing through Kangding city without stopping, and head straight to the Red Lake. The scenery along this stretch is breathtaking, so slow down to appreciate it. The Red Lake (located in Yala Township, Kangding City) is located at an altitude of 4,100 meters. You can drive right up to the lake's edge, where the azure waters reflect the snow-capped mountains, creating stunning photos. Reminder: The scenic area is open from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. 💡TIPS: 1. Red Lake is at a high altitude, so bring oxygen tanks and rhodiola rosea in advance. 2. The best viewing period is from May to October; the road may be closed in winter. 3. The KFC at the Tianquan Service Area is very crowded, so it's recommended to avoid peak hours. 4. The road is in good condition throughout, but there are many curves, so novice drivers should be cautious. 🍜Food Recommendations: You must try Tibetan cuisine in Kangding! Recommendations: ▫️Beef offal hotpot: authentic Tibetan flavor ▫️Butter tea: a relief from altitude sickness ▫️Tsampa: a Tibetan staple It's recommended to stay in Kangding city tonight to prepare for the next day's itinerary! #SichuanWesternSelf-Drive #KangdingRedLake #TianquanServiceArea #ThisLifeMustDrive318 #HighPlateauTravel
I took my kids to the super cute Laba River on Sunday. Sharing this wild and immersive experience! ✨ [DAY 1: A Chance Encounter with Wildlife] 🚗 Lezhi → Tianquan Must-take photos and check-in at the Tianquan service area! My teammates and kids were super cooperative, snapping non-stop and delaying our departure until 3:00 PM. 😂 Honestly, it really disrupted our plans for the East Route... 🎫 Scenic Area Tips: Purchasing tickets online is super convenient! Just show the QR code and you're in! Once you enter the scenic area, 🐒 it's all about the action! Make sure to keep your car windows closed! It's normal to be afraid, but remember these two "don'ts" to stay safe: 1️⃣ Don't grab food in front of monkeys. 2️⃣ Don't carry plastic bags. The little ones won't bother you! 🌄 East Route Experience (4:00 PM - 6:00 PM) A lucky escape! A trip off-peak! With very few tourists, you can enjoy the cool mountain air all to yourself! 💚 Route: Blue Crystal Hotel → Luming Hotel Takes 2 hours. We recommend calling the Luming front desk for a taxi back home (intimate service!) 🌙 Night Viewing🦌 You can see deer at the Blue Crystal parking lot, but the light is too dim to fully appreciate them. We only took a quick look and then left. [DAY 2: Upgraded Wilderness] ⏰ Check out at 10:00 AM Go straight to the visitor center to buy tickets for the sightseeing bus to the cable car station and check out the popular "Bao Bao Coffee"☕ (we skipped the summit due to the clouds!) 🚶 Red Stone Beach Adventure I wanted to walk down the mountain...but it was too tiring! We recommend taking a car directly to the entrance! ⚠️ Monkey alert! The monkeys here are incredibly aggressive! • I witnessed elderly people and children being snatched for food. • We were so scared we didn't even dare drink water. 😂 • Keep your snacks hidden! But the end of Red Stone Beach is a safe zone! Only after you've reached the top can you indulge in the food! You've come all the way to the top, so you have to! 🏆 🎖️ Easter Egg Don't forget to collect stamps and exchange them for medals in the "Wonderland Wandering" app! Redeem them at the Luming front desk at 3:00 PM~ [Accommodation Tips] 🏨 Blue Crystal: Expensive but convenient (don't expect too much~) • No air conditioning, but definitely cool • The real experience of trying to find a blanket in the middle of the night 🤣 ⛺ Campers should do their research; there are camping areas in the scenic area~ #Labahe #FamilyTravel #Wildlife #SummerResort #SichuanTravel
📍Route: Today we set off from Chengdu and first arrived at the Tianquan Service Area (this is the first check-in point of the 318 must-drive in this life, which is of great significance)😉It took about two and a half hours to drive from Chengdu. When we arrived at the service area, we must take a photo of the iconic "318 must-drive in this life" landmark (there are 2 check-in places on the cover), which marks the official start of our 318 Sichuan-Tibet Line journey. There is also a cute panda station sign. Taking a photo with the panda is very memorable, and the photos taken are also very good. There are also many 318 highway cultural and creative peripheral products in the service area Leaving the Tianquan Service Area, we went all the way and came to the Dadu River in Luding County, where there is the world-famous Luding Bridge. Standing on the bridge, the water of the Dadu River roared, as if you could see the heroic scene of the Red Army flying over the Luding Bridge that year, which was really shocking. After walking across the Luding Bridge, you can also go to the exhibition hall at the bridgehead to visit the scenes of the battle that year and learn about that passionate history, which is very educational for children. (You don’t need to buy tickets for Luding Bridge at present🎫, you only need to buy 5 yuan insurance) 🚗Then we went to Kangding. Kangding is worthy of being a place famous all over the world because of a song "Kangding Love Song". It is really charming. 🍜Food recommendation: Non-Internet celebrity restaurant🍴--Zangjiayan (Tibetan dining experience) Walnut butter tea🍵 (a light salty taste mixed with the aroma of yak milk, the taste is very moist), beef blanket (a little spicy, similar to the dry pot method,🥔 base, flatbread covered with meat, the meat is not dry and goes well with rice), beef buns and yak yogurt (children like it more) 🏨Accommodation recommendation: Figure 1⃣️3⃣️-1⃣️7⃣️ Manyue Impression Hotel (navigation🧭Kangding Chama Road Xintiandi 4 District 1 Building 3 Unit 1 Floor) The location is very good, there are parking spaces, convenient travel, the room is clean and tidy, the service is also very considerate, the key is that the price-performance ratio is super high! Ps: Parking in Kangding is a problem. It is a bit like the first stop, Xuanen. You must find a parking lot or a roadside parking space (6 yuan). The public parking lot we found has a starting price of 10 yuan, and 2 yuan per hour thereafter. #GoToTibetTogether #318川藏线 #AccommodationRecommendation
