Western Sichuan Colorful Forests Hidden Gem 🌳 The Autumn Secret of Gergou Dagou Village
It's the season for colorful forests in Western Sichuan again, so stop crowding the popular spots! We recommend a less-visited and stunning place, Gergou Dagou Village, a true autumn secret~
🚗 Road condition tip: The road from Gergou to Dagou Village is fairly easy to drive, but a few kilometers past the village, it turns into a rugged gravel road, and your car will "creak." It's recommended to drive an off-road vehicle. Deep in the mountain road, there is a gate (tied with a rope); untie it when entering and remember to tie it back when leaving~
🍂 Best viewing period: Late October to mid-November. It's still a bit early now, so don’t go empty-handed!
☀️ Sunny day exclusive: The sunlight turns the mountains, birch trees, maples, and pines into a colorful tapestry, with leaves sparkling under the light; the off-road vehicle stirs up falling leaves like butterflies dancing, the stream shimmers like gold foil, and the occasional cattle slowly stroll through the colorful forest—an absolutely stunning scene!
🌧️ Overcast atmosphere: The mountain colors soften like they are veiled in a thin layer of gauze, the stream is clear and pure, and the gravel road becomes gentle, creating a different kind of tranquility~
Fiery on sunny days, gentle on cloudy days, every side of this secret autumn scenery is worth collecting! For those who love less crowded landscapes, just go for it~
