Jiayila Lake is always the most beautiful autumn in Ganzi.

Complete Guide

This place can satisfy all your fantasies about autumn!

Navigation: Jiayila Lake (Note: No public transportation, only self-driving or carpooling)

❤️ Detailed introduction: Located in Qimei Village, Yuke Township, northern Daofu, adjacent to Danba Dangling, it is an unmissable beautiful secret place on the Dandao Ring Road. This lake is one of the undeveloped lakes in the state, primitive and simple, surrounded by towering snow-capped mountains and forests, and the scenery is very spectacular.
⭐️ Plateau primary hiking route: 5 km one way, with a maximum altitude of 4,100 meters, very suitable for beginners.

⭐️ Jungle motorcycle: The mountain road has been simply repaired, and the steep slope has almost disappeared, leaving only relatively flat paths. Motorcycles can pass without pressure, and the safety index is slightly higher than that of several viewing platforms for Gongga. 💰 Fee description: Cleaning fee (ticket): CNY 20/person.
Transportation up and down the mountain: Hiking (only need to buy a CNY 20 ticket for hiking).
Motorcycle up and down the mountain: CNY 160/round trip (you used to be able to buy a one-way ticket up the mountain, but now you must buy a round trip), you will be given a motorcycle ticket, and you need to check the ticket up and down the mountain. You don't need to buy a ticket if you buy a motorcycle ticket. ⏰ Time: Hiking up the mountain takes about 2–3 hours, and down the mountain takes 1–1.5 hours. Motorcycle up the mountain: 20 minutes, down the mountain: 15 minutes.

🍮 Food supply: There is currently a restaurant and 2–3 small supermarkets at the foot of the mountain, where you can buy food. There is a small shop on the mountain where you can buy instant noodles, etc.

🏠 Accommodation recommendation:
1. There are inns and mountain villas at the foot of the mountain. It is best to book in advance during the peak season, as the number is limited.
2. Dangling Village: Stay in Dangling, about 30 minutes drive to Jiayila Lake.
3. Dandao Ring Road: ➡️ There are many inns and homestays from Danba to Dangling, ➡️ Dangling Village ➡️ Dangling to Yuke Grassland: Stay in Yuke Town. ⚠️ Dandao Ring Road conditions:
Danba–Dangling–Jiayila Lake: Many mountain roads, cement pavement, good road conditions. Jiayila Lake–Yuke Town: Unpaved road near the pass, with potholes, and cars can pass. Pass–Yuke Town: Turn to cement pavement, good road conditions, but there are many yaks on the road, pay attention to safety.
