Friends have asked me countless times if I went to Seda, but this stunning hidden gem is actually right in Panzhihua! No more worries about altitude sickness or visitor limits on the way. This low-key red village brings the shock of the "red mountains and rivers" right before your eyes!
📍 Location: Yishala Village, Panzhihua  
🚗 Transportation: Navigate to "Yishala Village Entrance," the car can go straight there, parking is super convenient, and you can start hiking and exploring the village right after getting off~
⏱ Suggested visit time: 2 hours is enough to check out the core beautiful spots, take your time if you have more!  
💡 Time-saving tip: If you're in a hurry, enter the village from the left side and head straight to the central pond for epic shots; if you have time, definitely stroll along the village paths, every step is a surprise!
📸 Must-shoot spots ranking:
1. Central Pond: The village’s prime spot! Standing by the pond, see the layers of red houses built on the hillside, sunlight shining on the roofs, the visual impact is maxed out. Isn't this a mini version of Seda!
2. Mirror Wall: A must on sunny days! Blue sky and white clouds reflect on the wall, any pose looks like a "sky mirror," creativity nailed~
3. Lotus Platform at Village Entrance: A panoramic spot you can shoot as soon as you arrive, red village, green mountains, and white clouds all in one frame, the first epic shot of your journey!
4. Village Path Walk: Don’t just focus on the check-in spots! Wander along the paths, red walls and pastoral scenery collide beautifully, every snap is a healing scene~
No need to squeeze into crowded popular spots, no complicated planning, just take a day on the weekend to rush to this treasure spot. Panzhihua really nailed it this time!
