This is the secret place in Western Sichuan where I check in the most times a year There are no crowds and commercialization of popular places like Xinduqiao and Yuzixi What it has is the purest natural scenery and the original Tibetan style, brilliant autumn colors, towering snow mountains, solemn temples, azure lakes, herds of cattle and sheep, and boundless grasslands There are also snow mountain hot springs that can be booked for a few tens of dollars, monkeys and cute groundhogs encountered everywhere You can experience all the beauty of Western Sichuan that you can imagine here It's like a backyard carefully crafted by God, mysterious and unique But not many people know about it, and the beautiful golden autumn can be enjoyed alone. Address: Yuke Grassland, Daofu County, Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan Tourist highlights: 1. The first sacred lake of Yuke: Jia Yila Cuo Like a blue gem embedded at the foot of the snow mountain; you can reach it by horse, motorcycle, or on foot 2. Natural hot springs under the snow mountain, a wonderful experience Natural hot springs facing the snow mountain, 40 yuan a room, can accommodate six or seven people, soaking in the hot springs while watching the snow mountain, super cost-effective 3. Unique Tibetan cultural experience The isolated Tibetan ancient village, the 700-year-old Yinka Temple, listen to the Sanskrit, paint Thangka 4. The palette of the magical earth, the beautiful autumn colors as far as the eye can see 5. Admire the Maitreya Buddha of the snow mountain, marvel at the wonders of nature Encounter magical animals, herds of yaks, interesting monkeys, cute groundhogs This time I specifically brought the KWV Kaitunhui Coffee Pinotage Dry Red Wine I bought at Sam's Supermarket. The price-performance ratio is very absolute. It's less than fifty yuan for South African easy food and wine, and it's surprisingly good! Under the snow mountain, while admiring the beautiful autumn colors, I have a small drink and am slightly drunk, it's simply too great~ The red wine label and the autumn scenery complement each other, and there is a rich fruit aroma of blueberries and cherries in one mouthful, blended with a faint spice sensation. The most special thing is the roasted aroma of mocha coffee. Very wonderful. The taste is soft and rich, without any sourness, and it is also great with snacks and desserts. The design of the spiral cap is also my favorite place, saving the trouble of the bottle opener, super friendly for travel, open the bottle anytime, anywhere, and easily enjoy the delicious and travel fun ❹ Day ❸ Night itinerary sharing Day1 Chengdu-Luding-Danba-Dangling-Yuke Grassland Day2 Tibetan style experience in Yuke Grassland, Yinka Happy Stage, hot springs under the snow mountain Day3 Check in Jia Yila Cuo in Yuke Grassland, get close to groundhogs, enjoy the golden autumn snow scene Day4 Yuke Grassland-Daofu-Xinduqiao-Chengdu Accommodation recommendation: There are two great homestays in the town, both with unique Tibetan style and the atmosphere of trendy wild luxury camps; there are snow mountains, grasslands and streams outside the door, and groundhogs come to visit from time to time, worth checking in.
