Western Sichuan 7-day Grand Loop Tour Guide is here! Starting from Chengdu, this route connects snow-capped mountains, grasslands, and Tibetan village scenery, with every stop being stunning~

🚗Itinerary
Day1: Chengdu - Mount Siguniang Shuangqiao Valley
Depart from Chengdu directly to Mount Siguniang, the "Oriental Alps." The scenery in Shuangqiao Valley is the most concentrated, remember to bring an oxygen tank! We recommend staying at Kongshan Homestay in Siguniangshan Town; you can see the snow-capped mountains by opening the window.

Day2: Danba Tibetan Villages - Jiaju Tibetan Village
This is home to one of China's six most beautiful ancient rural towns, with red Tibetan-style watchtowers built against the mountains. You can also experience Tibetan culture. In the Tibetan villages, we recommend trying Tibetan fragrant pork and highland barley wine~

Day3: Mount Yala - Tagong Grassland
Xinduqiao, at the foot of Mount Yala, is known as a photographer's paradise. Wildflowers on Tagong Grassland bloom from June to August, and horse riding is super refreshing! For accommodation in Xinduqiao, we recommend Gonggazo Manor Hotel.

Day4: Litang - Changqingchunke'er Temple
Visit Litang County, Ding Zhen's hometown. Be sure to visit Changqingchunke'er Temple (admission 30 yuan), one of the largest Gelugpa (Yellow Hat) monasteries in the Tibetan region.

Day5: Daocheng Yading
This is the highlight of the trip. The hike to Luorong Pasture and Milk Lake takes about 6-8 hours. Staying in Yading Village within the scenic area is very convenient.

Day6: Haizi Mountain - Xinduqiao
The ancient glacial remains on Haizi Mountain are particularly spectacular. If the weather is good, you can see reflections of hundreds of small lakes. For dinner, we recommend Chuanxiangju Restaurant in Xinduqiao.

Day7: Return to Chengdu
On the last day, it's recommended to drive back to Chengdu slowly. Along the way, you'll pass less-known attractions like Juli Temple and Muya Holy Land.

🍜Food Recommendations
Yak hotpot, matsutake mushroom stewed chicken, highland barley cake, butter tea. The specialty dishes at Tibetan restaurants are very substantial!

⚠️Tips
1. Altitude sickness should not be underestimated; it's recommended to take Rhodiola a week in advance.
2. Most of the trip is at an altitude of 3000-4500 meters. The temperature difference between morning and evening is large, so bring warm clothes.
3. The best season is May-October. Pay special attention to road conditions during the rainy season in July-August.
4. Download offline maps in advance, as some sections have no signal.
