How to Enjoy the Highly Praised Labah River Online

How to Enjoy the Highly Praised Labah River Online❓ Let me explain clearly❗ A green wonderland near Chengdu❓ A summer resort❓ Is Labah River really that good❓ The online reviews are not lying, but the details are unclear, so here’s a guide to fill in the gaps.

📍Filming Location: Labah River Scenic Area, Ya'an, Sichuan

📖 Travel Guide:
Labah River is divided into east and west routes. If you have enough time, it’s recommended to spend two days exploring.

Day 1️⃣ East Route: Luming Hotel → Bishuiwan → Popular Ancient Tree → Yezhou Island → Blue Crystal Hotel
The east route follows the canyon boardwalk along the river, one way is 4.5 km, round-trip hiking takes 3-4 hours. If you get tired, you can take the scenic area shuttle back.

Day 2️⃣ West Route: Visitor Center → Cable Car → Heart-shaped Lake → Red Stone Beach → Deer Pond
For the west route, first take the sightseeing bus from the visitor center to the cable car station, then take the cable car up to the 3500m altitude viewing platform. It’s windy on the mountain, so it’s recommended to wear a jacket. From the viewing platform, hike 1.5 km to Heart-shaped Lake and then return. At the cable car station, take the bus down, stopping at Red Stone Beach and Deer Pond for sightseeing.

🚗 Transportation: Driving is more convenient, about 3 hours from Chengdu. If you don’t have a car, you can take a direct shuttle from Ya'an Station, but you need to book in advance.

🎫 Tickets: 50 RMB
🚌 West Route Sightseeing Bus: 35 RMB
🚡 Cable Car: 90 RMB

🏨 Accommodation: You can stay at Blue Crystal Hotel or Luming Hotel. At night, the sika deer come down the mountain, and if you’re lucky, you can see them.
