Xinduqiao, a place of such beauty that it makes you never want to leave! Next, I will take you through the unique charm of Xinduqiao. Xinduqiao is located in the suburbs of Chengdu, Sichuan, and is a dazzling pearl on National Highway 318. Here, you can admire the grand Yajiang Canyon that spans across the bridge, as well as witness many ethnic customs. The local peach, pear, and apple trees, when in full fruit, present a delightful scene with green leaves and red fruits. In the evening, take your camera and capture the beautiful scenery under the brilliant starry sky. Xinduqiao is not only scenic but also has a profound historical and cultural heritage. Walking here, it's as if you can feel the ancient city's long and storied past. Whether you're a photography enthusiast or someone looking for a spiritual haven, Xinduqiao is a travel destination you can't afford to miss!

1. Go ice skating on various lakes, such as the wild horse sea of Zhe Duo Mountain, the Sting Lake of Kangding Airport, the Lake of Black Stone City, the seven mountains and seven lakes of Tagong Grassland, it's really great! 2. If you want to see the golden sunshine on the snow-capped mountains, many places have been closed due to the snow. There are actually several peaks around Xindu Bridge that you can go to, such as Yuzi West, Gedilam, Mannuka, and the newly built Ze Ren Beng Zeng. It's only about an hour's drive from Xindu Bridge, and cars can reach directly. For those who want to go, it hasn't started snowing there yet, set off quickly~ Xindu Bridge

Along the way, there are blue skies, white clouds, cattle, horses, rivers, streams, Tibetan Mani stone piles, Lama towers, and devout followers... I am moved by the towering majesty of the mountains, and I marvel at the boundless and magnificent scenery. The spring tries to climb over the mountaintop, covering the snow-capped mountains with lush greenery, making one wonder what you look like in winter. It must be a vast expanse of white, waiting for the response of spring in the mountains. How can mere words suffice? One must see with their eyes, listen with their ears, feel the land under their feet, embrace with their arms, and breathe deeply to feel the pounding heartbeat of altitude sickness... Every time I pass by a house, I can't help but be dazzled. The fatigue of driving is swept away by the pure and pristine Tibetan homes: the Tibetan-style houses under the blue sky represent the closest integration of culture and nature, perhaps this is how humans were meant to live. The mountains are high and the roads are long, the winding mountain paths tug at one's heartstrings, and one must also face the potential landslides and falling rocks brought by the rainy season, the ringing and pain in the ears caused by altitude sickness (I am lucky not to have it severe), the lack of running water and electricity in the toilets... But if you ask me whether this self-driving journey is worth it, I can only respond with that slogan: 'Driving on Route 318 is a must in this lifetime!'

Xinduqiao is known as a paradise for photography and a world of light and shadow, but many people may feel the same when they get there - the reality is not as good as expected, or even a big letdown. What I want to say is, you simply haven't found the right place and time. Without further ado, here's the real deal, taking you to see the true photographic paradise of Xinduqiao. Firstly, you must go during the right season, which is definitely autumn. Emphasize this point: the autumn in Xinduqiao basically starts from late October to early November, a short thirty days. If you miss this period, don't bother going, as you'll either find the leaves not yet yellow or already fallen. You also need to choose the right weather and time. Remember to check the weather forecast before you leave, which is generally accurate. You should go on a sunny day, as an overcast day greatly diminishes the experience. Take note, the best time is from five in the afternoon on a sunny day until it gets dark. The most important point is that the most beautiful autumn scenery is not in Xinduqiao town, but on the road from Kangding over Zheduo Mountain, past the Muya Holy Land, all the way to the Gongga Viewing Platform near Xinduqiao. The scenery is all along this stretch, so make sure not to miss it. There are many temporary parking viewing platforms built along this stretch of road, so do not park your car on the roadside, as it affects traffic and is unsafe. You must drive yourself, as you won't see these sights on a bus. It looks like next weekend will be the best viewing period. The sunshine sprinkles down, beautiful like an oil painting, astonishing! Address: Xinduqiao Town, Kangding City, Ganzi Prefecture Transportation: Due to the complex local road conditions, it is recommended to drive yourself or join a tour group. Some places along the way have already snowed, so please drive safely! Self-driving route sharing: D1: Chengdu to Kangding - Honghai to Yuzixi to Xinduqiao D2: Shang Chiji West Village to Moshigong Park to Rainbow Road to Chengdu The temperature difference between day and night in Xinduqiao is now significant, with strong sunlight and ultraviolet rays during the day, and it's quite cold, so everyone going there should pay attention to sun protection and keeping warm. It's not recommended to bathe or wash your hair two days before entering Tibet to avoid catching a cold and causing high altitude sickness; when entering the plateau area, slow down all activities. Precautions: High altitude sickness: It is recommended to take Rhodiola or anti-altitude sickness medicine one week in advance. Items to prepare: Thermos, lip balm, sunscreen, windbreaker, down jacket, glucose Only by coming here can you truly appreciate its essence!

🎉Beyond the towering snow-capped mountains🏔️, shimmering lakes, and dense forests of Western Sichuan, there lies a picturesque, refreshing pastoral scene! This place is Xinduqiao, a breathtakingly beautiful place that will make you linger and forget to return!💖 🌼🐎Xinduqiao, a pastoral symphony where cattle, sheep, and horses gather, is brimming with life and vitality. When the May Day holiday or summer arrives, it becomes an ideal spot for picnics, camping🏕️, and leisurely outings! If you want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, cast aside the worries of work and life, why not explore Western Sichuan for yourself!🌈 📸There are countless pastoral check-in spots along the way, each worth stopping for a photo!📷 Waze Township, a world of light and shadow, makes you feel as if you are in a fairyland; Juri Temple, with its serene valley setting, is a perfect choice for wedding photography; along the way in Riche Village, fields, streams, and little wooden bridges, each spot irresistibly invites admiration... 🏡In addition, there are beautiful places like Songdun Niji Post, Shuiqiao Village·Wilderness Journey, Maiba Village, and more waiting for you to explore! Here, you can feel the charm of nature and also enjoy the warmth and comfort of homestays.💕 🚗Of course, there are some things to keep in mind when traveling! The plateau weather is changeable, remember to bring more clothes; drink some Rhodiola before setting off to maintain a good mood; for family trips, it is not recommended to bring family members who are too young or too old; and be sure to take sun protection measures!🌞 🔥Finally, I'll share with you a less crowded route that allows you to travel through Western Sichuan with ease! Starting from Chengdu, the route passes through Kangding Airport Road, Balang Shengdu, Moshishan Park, Tagong Grassland, and other places, eventually returning to Chengdu. This route is not only stunningly beautiful but also relatively off the beaten path, avoiding the awkwardness of overcrowding.🚙

Currently, the villages that are visited more often and are suitable for photography and camping are Riche Village and Tiwu Village. At the entrance of the villages, there is a stream running through, beside the stream is grassland with cattle and sheep. Camping here for half a day can really relax your mind and forget all troubles. ♻️ Jagenba travel tips: 1. If you want to see the sunlight on the golden mountain🏔️, you can go to the Zesangla Sky Garden in Riche Village. Navigate to Xueyin Pavilion Homestay🏨, and go up the mountain from the side of the homestay, but the road up the mountain is rough, requiring an SUV🚙 off-road vehicle. Sedans cannot make it, or you can take a local's car for 260💰. 2. For camping and photography, you can go to Songdun Niji, which is a homestay. There are many beautiful spots for camping and photography📷 right outside the homestay, but you need to book the homestay or buy an afternoon tea to be allowed in. 🚗 The road conditions are very good, with asphalt roads all the way, even electric cars can come 🏨 Accommodation: You can stay inside the village or in Xinduqiao, both are convenient, but you need to book in advance during the peak season.

Family, who understands 😭 A person from Chongqing went to Western Sichuan twice in less than half a year, and each time encountered heavy snow ❄️ The scenery in the snow is so beautiful! The first time was with a tour group, the second was a self-driving tour Different ways of traveling, but each has its own joy 😆 👇 1️⃣ Tour group Day1: Chengdu → Mao Bi Liang → Four Girls Mountain → Xiaojin County Day2: Xiaojin County → Huiyuan Temple → Moshishan Park → Tagong Grassland → Yuzixi → Xinduqiao Day3: Xinduqiao → Zheduo Mountain → Mugecuo → Chengdu 2️⃣ Self-driving tour Day1: Chongqing → Zigong → Kangding County Day2: Kangding County → Mugecuo → Honghaizi → Xinduqiao Day3: Xinduqiao → Tagong Grassland → Gunong Village → Yunrao Yala → Leshan - The total cost is about 💰 just over 1k, overall it was very fun, will go again! - ⚠️ Make sure to prepare sufficient items before traveling ⚠️ 1. Electronic device chargers, power banks, cameras (batteries drain quickly in high-altitude areas!) 2. Sunglasses, sunscreen (Western Sichuan has particularly strong UV rays, be sure to protect yourself) 3. Toothbrush, toothpaste, shower gel, shampoo, towels, and bath towels (I suggest not to wash your hair or take a bath in high-altitude areas, otherwise it's easy to get altitude sickness... It's better to bring your own personal items in Western Sichuan) 4. Insulated cup (drinking hot water is useful, especially when the weather is cold) 5. Hats, umbrellas (can protect from the sun and the rain, and if your hair is oily, wearing a hat is also a good cover) 6. Skincare products, lip balm, face masks (the weather is really dry, girls also need to moisturize) 7. Slippers (hotel slippers are so smelly you'll question your life...) 8. A small amount of change 💰 (better to have it just in case) 9. Warm patches (really necessary! Especially when going out in the morning) 10. Disposable underwear, socks, and warm clothes (there's a big temperature difference between morning and evening, and the weather changes a lot) 11. Altitude sickness items, glucose, candies (can improve tolerance to hypoxia 👍🏻) 12. Oxygen cans (you can prepare these in advance, better safe than sorry) 13. Snacks, instant noodles, etc. 14. Prepare anti-skid chains for self-driving vehicles (‼️ Buy anti-skid chains in advance and keep them in the car, it's really necessary, if you slip on the road and can't move, buying them then will cost you another price oh)

At the moment when the camera 📷 is pressed All the beautiful scenery is in sight In the last few days of the countdown in 2023, I saw the sunrise on the golden mountain during a self-driving tour Standing at the Mudo Pass, looking at the spectacular Gongga Snow Mountain, it seemed as if I had entered a mysterious fairyland. The tour guide drove us up the mountain, and the rented car was a tank 300. From Xindu Bridge Xindu Bridge-Mudo Pass Mudo Haka Viewing Platform We meandered through the gravel road, although the journey was bumpy, but the inner excitement and anticipation made everything seem insignificant. After a rest, we went to Lengga Cuo, Lengga Cuo is 4600m above sea level, and the other two buddies had a plateau reaction after going up But everything is worth it The sun shines through the clouds on the Gongga Snow Mountain, instantly dyeing it into a golden towering peak, this sunrise on the golden mountain-like scenery, feeling the majesty and magnificence of the snow mountain, a sense of happiness arises These photos span every trip of mine Every recorded life experience comes and goes In 2024 we will have more stories on the road
