Avoid the Crowds This National Day! Discover Majia Valley

Located in Aba Prefecture of Western Sichuan, Majia Valley is a fantastic off-the-beaten-path destination for enjoying autumn scenery. Even on weekends, it remains relatively uncrowded!

In Majia Valley, you can escape the hustle and bustle, immersing yourself in tranquility and beauty. The autumn here is vibrant and colorful, with snow-capped mountains, grasslands, colorful forests, lakes, and leisurely grazing cattle and sheep painting a picturesque scene.

【Location】Majia Valley Scenic Area is situated in Xiaojin County, Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province. It’s a lesser-known destination waiting to be explored.

💡【Travel Tips】
1. 🚗 For navigation, it’s recommended to approach Majia Valley from the Maerkang direction. This avoids the traffic on Panda Avenue and offers scenic views along the way.
2. 🚶‍♂️ Pack light and bring an oxygen canister to cope with the high altitude. Adjust your exploration depth based on your physical condition. Even without venturing deep, you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking views.
3. 🍜 Bring your own food or portable snacks. While local herders provide hot water and simple meals, having your own supplies is more convenient.
4. 📅 Autumn may arrive earlier this year, so visiting during the National Day holiday could coincide with the peak viewing period!
5. 🏙️ For those traveling from afar, consider spending two days in Chengdu for a city walk before heading to Majia Valley. A well-planned itinerary will make your trip more fulfilling and enjoyable.
6. 🐶 The scenic area is pet-friendly, so you can bring your furry friends along. You’ll see many visitors with their dogs 🐶.
