Ruoergai Flower Lake nanny-level guide🌼! Spend 500 RMB per person to experience a Windows desktop-like view!
Everyone, let's go! 🏃♀️ Personally tested, these three hidden spots at Ruoergai Flower Lake are absolutely stunning! Standing on the boardwalk feels like stepping into a computer desktop, every shot is a masterpiece!
🌟 Best time to visit (miss it and wait a year!)
- June to August: The grassland turns into a green carpet 💚, and the lakeside blooms into a sea of flowers! Recommended to arrive before 9 AM to avoid crowds~
- Mid-September: Golden brown grassland + snow-capped mountains 🏔️, the layers are breathtaking! Fewer tourists, perfect for atmospheric photos!
🐎 Transportation guide
【Self-driving】Chengdu → Rongchang Expressway + National Highway 248, 8 hours to 📍 (Address: Huahu Scenic Area, Lanmo Line, Ruoergai County, Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture). You can stop anytime at Diexi Haizi along the way.
【Bus】Chengdu Chadianzi Bus Station 7:30 AM bus → Ruoergai County → Carpool for 30 RMB direct access
【Charter】Combine with Jiuzhaigou/Huanglong tour, 800 RMB/day, hire driver as guide!
📸 Three hidden photo spots
1️⃣ Viewing platform with lake and sky in one line: Morning mist looks like a fairyland 🌫️, golden lake surface at dusk is stunning!
2️⃣ Tibetan-style white tent: Wear a white dress + red scarf for epic Tibetan-style photos 🤳
3️⃣ Birdwatching area (May to September): Use a telephoto lens to capture black-necked cranes 🦢, super lively!
🏨 Accommodation recommendations
✔️ Altitude sickness warning, stay at "Zunyue Ruitian Hotel" (with oxygen rooms)
✔️ Best for morning mist photos: "Huahu Ecological Hotel," 5-minute walk to the scenic area
✔️ For romantic stargazers, stay in grassland tents 🌠, lie down and watch the Milky Way!
💡 Practical tips
☑️ Must-have: oxygen bottle + sunscreen essentials + light down jacket
☑️ Snacks: No restaurants in the scenic area, bring your own self-heating hotpot, super tasty
☑️ Altitude 3500 meters, don’t run or jump! You might get dizzy 😵
Have fun!
