Day 1 Nationwide → Chengdu ★Assembly Day
All day
The first day is a full-day meeting day. Tourists will proceed to the meeting hotel based on their arrival time in Chengdu. Check in at the front desk by entering "China - Travel Note + Name." Chengdu is a "Chinese Tourism City," so we recommend arriving early to enjoy the city's slow pace, exploring the various local snacks and attractions.
Recommended places to visit: Jinli Ancient Street, Wuhou Temple, Kuanzhai Alley, and Chunxi Road, one of the top ten commercial streets in China.
Food recommendations: Jinli and Kuanzhai Alleys offer a variety of Chengdu snacks: Long Chao Shou, Dandan Noodles, Feichangfen (Fat Intestine Rice Noodles), Maocai (Maocai), and more.
Day 2 Chengdu → Maobiliang (3600m) → Shuangqiaogou (3600m) → Xiaojin/Danba (1900m)
·morning
We set out from Chengdu in the morning, passing through forest canyons, passing Balang Mountain, and arriving at the Maobiliang Observation Deck. The Siguniang Mountain, behind the Shu Mountains, stretches before us, and the outstanding Yaomei Peak, with an altitude of 6,250 meters, ranks second in Sichuan.
·afternoon
At the entrance to Shuangqiaogou, transfer to the scenic area shuttle and begin your exploration of the beautiful Shuangqiaogou. This is the most scenic and well-developed area in the Siguniang Mountain region, and you can freely stop and take photos at any suitable location within the scenic area.
Many of Siguniang’s “relatives” live in seclusion here, including Hunter Peak, Eagle’s Beak Rock, Potala Peak... The valley is surrounded by various snow-capped mountains of different shapes. You can appreciate the snow-capped mountains and the scattered large and small waterfalls up close. The reflection of the snow-capped mountains in the lake is even more beautiful.
·night
Stay in Xiaojin County or Danba County
Day 3: Xiaojin/Danba (1900m) → Moshi Park (3500m) → Tagong Grassland (3500m) → Yuzixi (4000m) → Xinduqiao Town (3600m) or Kangding City (2500m)
·morning
In the morning light, we journey through the beautiful Yak Valley, past streams and canyons, and snow-capped peaks, admiring the majestic beauty of the sacred Yala Mountain from the highway. Arrive at the exotic Moshi Park, where the unique and stunning Moshi landforms, standing at the highest point, will give you a bird's-eye view of the surrounding mountains. Capture some stunning travel photos with the Moshi as your backdrop – this western Sichuan travel photography destination truly lives up to its reputation.
Driving to Tagong Grassland, the Muya Golden Pagoda comes into view, juxtaposed beautifully with the distant Yala Snow Mountain.
·afternoon
Then we came to the secret grassland highway specially arranged for summer - Provincial Highway 434. This is a treasure road known only to in-depth players. It passes through the two alpine grasslands of Tagong and Jiangba, with cattle and sheep scattered around. From June to August, the grassland is full of geraniums. If the weather is fine, the Yala and Gongga snow-capped mountains are clearly visible.
Important reminder: Because Provincial Highway 434 is near the airport, a temporary height restriction is in effect. Only vehicles with 23 seats or less can pass through. Today, you will take G248 to Xinduqiao.
In the afternoon we headed to Yuzixi, where you can enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view of the Hengduan Mountains and swing on the swing facing Gongga.
Important note: If you encounter traffic restrictions or congestion at Yuzixi Scenic Area, you will be redirected to Gediram or Sidingcuo according to the actual opening conditions of the scenic area. Thank you for your support and understanding.
·night
In the evening, check in to Xinduqiao Town or Kangding City.
Day 4 Xinduqiao Town (3600m) or Kangding City (2500m) → Niubei Mountain (3600m)
·morning
Depart from Xinduqiao and head to Niubei Mountain. At the end of 2009, a renowned photographer from National Geographic magazine stumbled upon an unnamed hillside in Luding County offering stunning views of numerous snow-capped mountains. Since then, the area has become known as Niubei Mountain, attracting photographers from all over the world.
·night
Nestled in the China-TravelNotex Niubei Mountain Star Camp at night, I was completely captivated both physically and mentally. Niubei Mountain is high in elevation, offering a wide field of view and far away from light pollution. The lights in the tent complement the twinkling stars.
Day 5: Tianniubei Mountain (3600m) → Chengdu
·morning
Early in the morning, Niubei Mountain offers a chance to watch and photograph the sun setting over the eastern slopes of Gongga Mountain, with the colors of the sky and Mount Gongga changing dramatically in just a few minutes. Mornings are also the time when seas of clouds are most likely to form in the valleys, creating the spectacle of a "golden mountain on the sea."
·afternoon
We bid farewell to the western Sichuan Plateau around noon, passing through Ya'an and the Chengya Expressway before returning to the bustling city of Chengdu. We then proceeded directly to Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport. Don't forget to keep in touch and plan your next trip together.
