The autumn secret paradise Ganhaizi just 1.5 hours direct from Chengdu is amazing!

🚗 A 1.5-hour direct trip to an autumn fairy tale world, it’s so beautiful✨
As a Chengdu local, I really have to brag a little! This autumn, to see colorful forests and snowy mountains, you really don’t have to struggle deep into western Sichuan! Right in Wolong, Wenchuan, there’s a hidden treasure—Ganhaizi, known as the "backyard garden" for Chengdu people’s weekends!🏞️

🌟 Why do I strongly recommend this place?
✅ Altitude-friendly and easy: The highest point is only about 2700 meters, so almost no worries about altitude sickness. Kids can jump around happily, and elders can walk slowly, all totally fine!👶👵
✅ Hiking difficulty: one star⭐: The whole route mainly consists of well-maintained stone steps with gentle slopes. It takes about 1.5-2 hours to walk up slowly, and 1 hour to come down. Perfectly manageable for families with kids and hiking beginners.
✅ Autumn scenery at its peak😍: Golden colorful forests, distant snowy mountains, the atmosphere of alpine meadows... It packs the essence of autumn colors around Chengdu all in one stop!
✅ Top choice for family trips: Even kids as young as 3 can complete the whole route by themselves, and grandparents aged 72 are smiling all the way! Truly a family-friendly scenic spot.👪

💡 Thoughtful tips
🧥 Clothing: Plateau weather is changeable with big temperature differences between morning and night! Be sure to bring a thick jacket, and also take good sun protection during the day.
👟 Gear: Wearing non-slip shoes is very important! Some steps may be wet and slippery with dew, so be extra careful going down. Trekking poles are a plus.
💰 Cash: Some areas on the mountain have weak signal📵, so it’s safer to bring some cash for snacks and drinks.
🗑️ Environmental protection: Forest fire prevention is everyone’s responsibility! Please be sure to take your trash with you~
