No admission fee, drive straight there, and encounter a colorful fairyland beneath the snow-capped mountains

🍁Sharing this stunning hidden gem I discovered this autumn — Dageze Natural Ecological Tourism Area.
🌿There are no crowds, no signs of commercialization, only the purest natural beauty.

🌈First glimpse of Dageze: A colorful scroll in a secret realm
🚗Departing from Chengdu, a 6-hour drive will take you to this hidden place located in Hongyuan County.
🛤️When the entrance opposite Emotang comes into view, it means you have set foot on the road to Dageze.
🏔️Every turn along Longre Road offers breathtaking views of the snow mountains, and the winding streams in the canyon make perfect photo backdrops.
📅Best time to visit: Late October to early November, when the colorful forests are most vibrant.

🌟Must-see core experiences
🏯Dageze Temple: This temple hidden in a paradise has a dazzling golden roof that looks spectacular from a drone’s perspective, with a sea of clouds behind the building that is truly breathtaking.

🌊Alpine Lakes: About a 1-hour walk along the wooden boardwalk to the mountaintop, you will encounter three alpine lakes.

💎The second lake is the most stunning, with crystal-clear water shimmering under the blue sky and white clouds, surrounded 360° by snow-capped mountains—no filter needed for photos.

🍂Colorful forests and snow mountains: In autumn, Dageze’s colorful forests and snow mountains intertwine to form a vibrant painting. Compared to popular scenic spots, here you can quietly appreciate the beauty of nature.
