The Poetic Meaning of Yamanoma, a Hidden Land in Kawanishi

From June to August, you must go to Moon Lake in western Sichuan~ Camping and hiking are awesome! 😎✨

From June to August, western Sichuan is just like a dreamy Manhua Manor💐, with endless green grasslands, horses🐎 running freely, and occasionally campers beside streams🌊. When you go to enjoy the sunset🌄 in the evening, I must strongly recommend a magical place that can definitely be called a "life check-in place", that is——
📍"Lotus Sea Forest Park-Moon Lake"

When you first arrive here, you can deeply feel that you are tightly embraced by nature. It turns out that far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, there is such a quiet and natural place. Whether you are taking photos📷 or enjoying the nature, you can easily relax and slow down the pace of travel~

🚖Destination: Lotus Sea Forest Park-Moon Lake
🏔️Altitude: 3500 meters (rich vegetation, not easy to get altitude sickness)
🎫Tickets: A cleaning fee of 20 yuan will be charged per person when going up the mountain

🌟【Travel Guide】
1⃣️It is not recommended to drive directly from Chengdu to Moon Lake. Driving the whole way is too tiring and the journey time is too long. It is best to stay in Xinduqiao for one night and go to Moon Lake the next morning.
2⃣️The Moon Lake section is located halfway up the mountain. There are falling rocks. Be sure to pay attention to safety when driving. Cars can also drive directly there.
3⃣️There are 3 camps, wild hot springs♨️ and Lotus Lake. If you want to go to Lotus Lake, you have to hike from Moon Lake👣 for 3-4 hours, but the scenery above is really beautiful.
4⃣️Camping there in the summer is absolutely amazing. Set up a tent, prepare dinner, and enjoy the comfort brought by the starry sky🌃 in the middle of the night.

🏕【About 3 campsites】
🔸You can see Campsite 1 as soon as you arrive at the parking lot. There is a lake here, and there is a cafe and swing in front. It is super photogenic📸.
🔸Going deeper, you can see a stream formed by the confluence of multiple rivers💦. Due to the depth of the water and the green plants growing in the water, the river presents colorful colors, which is very beautiful.
🔸There are wild flowers💐, dead trees, and forest🌲 vegetation everywhere on the road. Campsite 2 in the middle is very suitable for camping and kayaking.
🔸If you want to experience the ultimate tranquility of birdsong and flowers, you can continue to walk to Campsite 3. There are almost no people here, and the scenery is more pristine.

📸【About taking photos】
❶ Check the weather in advance. If the sky is clear, you can use the sky and mountains as the background, and the picture will be super clean.
❷ You can also take pictures with a full sense of atmosphere when camping, and those small props can be used.
❸ Try to wear a brightly colored skirt👗, and take pictures with the feeling of Hayao Miyazaki's animation in minutes.
