Instead of the popular Xichang, I recommend these less-known hidden gems!

In the mysterious land of Western Sichuan, there are countless astonishing hidden places. Whether it's the sea of flowers in spring or the greenery in summer, there's always a beautiful scene that makes people linger. Today, I want to recommend to you those hidden gems that are less popular and more charming than the internet-famous check-in spots. Whether you are on a long holiday during the Spring Festival or on a short trip, you can drive there to experience the beauty that is rarely known. 🔥【Off-season, less crowded scenic spots】 ✅Mount Siguniang (Xiaojin County, Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province) This place, known as the 'Swiss scenery', is definitely worth visiting with your family. The snow mountains in Shuangqiao Valley are close at hand, and there are exciting rafting projects for you to play. The snow covering the road in winter is breathtakingly beautiful. ✅Daocheng Yading (Daocheng County, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province) Daocheng Yading, a place that makes people yearn for. The unique mountain and river scenery here is an ideal place for girls to take pictures. No matter how others evaluate it, you should come and experience the wonders of nature. ✅Bipenggou (Lixian County, Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province) A summer resort in summer and a snow paradise in winter. The ticket is only 130 yuan, with high cost performance! The Shanghaizi Trail and the waterfall and swing under Panyang Lake are excellent places for photo check-ins. ✅Dagu Glacier (Heishui County, Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province) The Dagu Glacier in winter is dreamy and beautiful, with snow-covered peaks and distant blue lakes reflecting each other. The coffee house here is also a popular place for photo check-ins. 【Less-known hidden gems in Western Sichuan】 🌲Moon Lake (Kangding City, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province) Compared to the popular Xichang, the flow of people in Moon Lake is much less. But the scenery here is no less than anywhere else, with mountains, lakes, cattle and sheep, it's an excellent place for camping, hiking, and relaxing. ⛺️Gunong Village (Tagong Town, Kangding City, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province) Gunong Village is not a real village, but a beautiful camping site near Tagong Town, a 10-minute drive away. Here you can find streams, snow mountains, grasslands and Tibetan wooden houses, as if it's a gathering place of nature's charm. 🌃Siye Yala (Yala Township, Kangding City, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province) Although many people know about Muya Temple, the hidden gem of Siye Yala is rarely known. The camping site, which is only a 15-minute drive away, is an ideal place to take beautiful photos. In the evening, you can enjoy the spectacular sunset, and at night, you can look up at the brilliant starry sky. 🏔️Xiaze Tong Village (Litang County, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province) This is the hometown of Ding Zhen, and also the location of a European-style log cabin hidden on the hillside. In summer, the mountains are full of wild flowers, forming a beautiful picture. There are too many astonishing hidden gems hidden in the land of Western Sichuan. In addition to the places mentioned above, there are also the Eye of Ge'nyen, Zebavillage, Gemu Village, Cuopugou, Seda, Mao Ya Prairie and other places that are equally beautiful. 🚗【Sharing a route to less-known hidden gems】 D1: Chengdu-Kangding-Airport Road-Xichang-Xinduqiao D2: Xinduqiao-Sequka Village-Siye Yala-Muya Temple-Gunong Village-Balangshengdu-Bamei D3: Tagong-Yala Snow Mountain Scenic Area-Mount Siguniang-Chengdu ⚠️Tips for playing Be sure to bring cash, many places in Western Sichuan have no signal. The temperature difference between morning and evening on the plateau is large, so prepare enough clothes just in case. It's best to drive a powerful SUV to Western Sichuan, because many hidden places have potholes on the road.
