Sidingcuo

The first stop in Western Sichuan is Xinduqiao, known as a paradise for photographers, but little do people know that just an hour's drive past Xinduqiao lies a beautiful village. Here, there are streams, snow-capped mountains, and Tibetan-style villages. Right at the doorstep of each home is a bridge over flowing water, free from the noisy crowds, no need to queue and jostle, undisturbed, quiet, and lovely. Address: Navigate to Jia Gen Ba Ri Che Village. The whole journey is on a concrete road, accessible by sedan. The meadow stream, like a forest village from a utopian world, offers beautiful scenery all along the village. A stream runs through the entire village, making it a picturesque spot for photography, where one can capture the essence of 'small bridge and flowing water' while standing on the bridge. Ri Che Village, with its streams and wooden bridges as well as wooden swings, has a large grassland, perfect for both photography and camping. Ri Ou Village has Tibetan-style houses and streams, and in summer, you can see beautiful Russian Iris flowers💐. The season of Russian Iris blooms in May! A whole area covered with white Russian Iris flowers, like something out of a fairy tale! Ti Wu Village, with its wooden walkways, has a famous tree, and the area around the wooden walkway is surrounded by vast highland barley fields, where you can camp anywhere for free. Camping is free. Streams, meadows, and snow-capped mountains make it an ideal place to pitch a tent and enjoy the scenery all day long. After visiting Jiagenba, you can go to Moon Lake, which is accessible by sedan and is about a 2-hour drive from Jiagenba. 3 days and 2 nights itinerary: day1: Chengdu-Kangding-Yuzixi-Xinduqiao day2: Xinduqiao-Jiagenba-Moon Lake-Xinduqiao day3: Xinduqiao-Sidingcuo-Honghaizi-Chengdu

Who would have thought that beside Kangding Airport, there hides a stunningly beautiful highland sacred lake—Siding Lake. She is like a shy maiden, opening her affectionate eyes, nestled here year after year, yet seldom discovered. The lake water is azure, the white clouds and blue sky... Siding Lake is at an altitude of 4260 meters. From Zheduo Mountain to Jiangba Village, to Tagong, this is a must-stop viewing platform. Every step offers a new view, breathtakingly beautiful, like a dreamy fairyland. At Siding Lake, you can gaze at Gongga Mountain. She is the pupil of the snowy ice mountain, and also the echo of the soul... Half of everything in the world is in the sky, and half in the lake. This is a place people yearn for, to catch a glimpse of Siding Lake's beauty, they do not mind the toil, crossing mountains and ridges, just for that fantastical cloudscape that transcends the mundane, that burning sunset on the horizon.
