The Beauty of Aba Fulfills Every Imagination of Beauty

Embark on a spontaneous journey to the secret wonders of Western Sichuan! The stunning scenery of Aba Prefecture is intoxicating—snow-capped mountains, grasslands, Tibetan villages, lakes... every spot is a visual feast🏔️

🌈Recommended Route:

📍Depart from Aba County, take Provincial Road 217 to Zhagana. Along this stretch within Aba County, you will encounter the most beautiful sights of Aba.

✨My Personal Experience:
1. Be sure to bring plenty of sunscreen! The ultraviolet rays on the plateau are extremely strong.
2. September to October is the best viewing season; the colorful forests and snowy mountains are breathtaking, but the lush green scenery from June to August is equally beautiful.
3. Some attractions are above 4000 meters in elevation; it’s recommended to bring an oxygen bottle.
4. There is a section of the road under construction, closed every morning and open at noon. You can detour via a nearby unpaved road, but vehicles with low clearance risk scraping the bottom. There are few places to stop along the way, so when parking to enjoy the scenery, please pay attention to your own and other vehicles’ safety.

🚗Transportation Tips:
About a 4-5 hour drive from Chengdu
About a 5-6 hour drive from Aba County to Zhagana
Car rental or self-driving is recommended; be cautious on the many mountain roads.

🍜Food Recommendations:
- Tibetan-style earthen hot pot
- Butter tea
- Highland barley cakes
- Yak jerky
