Itinerary

1Day|Chengdu - Wenchuan Service Area - Aba County

Departure from Chengdu at about 8:30 in the morning from Aba County, arriving in Aba County for about 8 hours, along the way I either listen to songs in the car, or sleep or just look at the scenery along the way outside the window, when I arrive at the Wenchuan service area, I can eat here, go to the toilet, etc.

Then I continued to go to Aba County, because it was the first time I went, and on the way I thought to myself that Aba would not have so much food to stay, when I arrived in Aba County, I saw a variety of styles of hotels, all kinds of different and similar delicacies, and erased my concerns, after all, it was night when I arrived in Aba County, and I didn't eat dinner on the road, so I had dinner in the county seat, especially the mutton stewed mushrooms here, which were extremely delicious, and drinking a bowl of broth was very cold.

After dinner, I returned to the hotel where I was staying, and when I was swiping my phone, I found that it was a blessing for "lazy people" like me to order takeout here, and there were some friends who liked to drink milk tea What "you love me, I love you", the panda logo can be drunk in Aba County, the key is high quality and low price.

2Day|Aba County - Lianbao Yeze Stone Mountain Scenic Area - Aba County

Wake up in the morning in the mist of Aba County, and can't wait to set off for Lianbao Yeze after breakfast at the hotel. From Aba County to Lianbaoye, it is about 4 or 50 kilometers, and the road is either in the same place without a border, watching the yaks on both sides grazing freely and leisurely, or in the valley, the road is winding, the rolling river next to it, the steep cliffs, all the way, the scenery is beautiful.

After driving for a while, I arrived at the tourist service center, bought a ticket, went to the toilet by the way, and then continued on my way. The lotus treasure leaf means in Tibetan: the peak of dignified jade, the secret realm of Aba integrating fairyland, demon world and the world. It belongs to the same area as Nian Baoyu, which is a famous sacred mountain in Tibet, ranking eighth among the top ten sacred mountains in Tibet, the first of the sacred mountains in the Amdo region, and known as the back garden of the gods.

Lianbao Yeze Stone Mountain Scenic Area has a straight and wide road, you can drive directly into the scenic spot, this is simply the welfare of friends who travel by car, with a "here", can't wait to get out of the car, the moment I got off the car I was shocked by the beautiful scenery here, at this moment I just want to pick up the camera in my hand is click and click, suddenly the sky began to snow, so that the scenic spot at this time was shrouded in a mystery waiting for me to unveil her, in the quiet lake sparkling, the water was as transparent as a mirror, Cold and clear, and there is a café currently under construction on the opposite side of the lake, I believe that friends who go to play on National Day should be able to use it, imagining drinking coffee while looking at the beautiful scenery, I really want to say "Ba Shide board".

Not far from where we parked, I saw the prayer flag, which is a belief of the Tibetan people and the life that beats on the earth. The various colors of the prayer flag are fixed and cannot be innovated casually. Secondly, the arrangement order of each color is strictly regulated and there can be no mistakes. Because the meaning of the prayer flag is very clear, it is not to beautify the environment, but to pray for good luck and prosperity and eliminate disasters.

The five colors symbolize the five phenomena of nature, which are the material basis of life's existence. When the natural world is peaceful and the weather is smooth, the world is peaceful, happy, and happy; When disasters occur in nature, there are many disasters on earth and there is no peace. People who have lived on the plateau for generations are more sensitive to changes in nature. Hoping for peace and happiness in the world should first hope that nature will be free of disasters, so it is really wonderful to use five different colors of flags on the prayer flag to express this psychological support. Then get in the car and continue to the next scenic spot, and I also like the stone scenery along the way, such as the sphinx, the enlightenment of the eight precepts, a kiss for a thousand years, and the eagle hitting the sky. After a few minutes' drive to the observation deck at an altitude of 4,424 meters, a new 360-degree transparent coffee has been built on the back of the landmark rock, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the snow-capped mountains at an altitude of more than 4,400 meters.

After the magical "carving" of nature, these high mountains and strange rocks and peaks have become a different temperament, looking up and surrounding as if entering the palace of art, Relying on imagination, there seem to be countless pictures, the stone mountains are undulating, high and low in the sky, drawing a beautiful arc.

Take

a look at our road up the mountain on the mountain, which can be described as eighteen bends of the mountain road, shuttling between the snow-capped peaks of this mountain, just to see the most beautiful scenery.

It's almost noon, so I went to the second visitor center at the foot of the mountain for lunch, which provides free hot water, and you can buy instant noodles, milk tea, coffee, etc. You can also prepare some food in advance to bring to eat.

After

lunch at the visitor center, take a break and go to Zagarcuo, this attraction is on the left side of the front visitor center, but if you walk slowly, it takes about 20-30 minutes, you can walk according to your physical condition and physical strength, all the way to the flat road, or you can drive in, basically no steps.

Zagarcuo means holy lake, with an area of about 3 square kilometers, you can walk around the lake if your physical strength allows, go out and smell the fragrance, you can also turn to the scriptures to pray for blessings, and you can also listen to the silent snow, the chirping of birds and insects, When turning the lake, you might as well bend down to scoop up a stick of water from the holy lake and wipe away the thoughts of your soul; Bow down to the top of the sacred mountain and brush the heavenly road of the soul.

Then you can also choose to overlook the entire viewing platform of Zagarcuo, which is relatively high altitude, but it is also the farthest place to see, and I can't help but take my camera and click a few more.

The snow on this mountain is getting heavier and heavier, so we are ready to go down the mountain to return to Aba County, and make up for the first attraction on the way back.

This pile of small "stone mountains" should be the most representative landmarks in Tibet, although there are no words engraved on the small stones, But the layers of piles also represent the tourists' yearning for beauty, hoping to rise steadily, which can be regarded as a wish exclusive to this high-altitude area.

>3Day|Aba County - Manzetang Wetland Prairie - Gemo Temple - Amdo Residence - Aba County

Today's weather is really good, Yangguan is bright, the main attractions are two scenic spots, one is the prairie, and the other is the Gemo Temple, after breakfast, the first to go to the Manzetang Wetland Prairie, along the grassland scenery belt all the way, along the way you will meet some cattle herders driving yaks on the road, and the car will also be forced by these yaks to stop and give way, this spectacle is still very amazing to me.

When it comes to grasslands, most people will think of Inner Mongolia as the first reaction, in fact, they can still increase their knowledge if they often go out for a walk, Aba County belongs to a semi-agricultural and semi-pastoral area, with a grassland area of about 5.61 million mu. Manzetang Grassland is located in the northeast of Aba County, more than 30 kilometers away from the county seat, including Melma, Jialuo Township, Jiake Ranch and other grasslands, with an average altitude of about 3,400 meters, and is also the main part of the Ruoerge Grassland Wetland.

After arriving at the end of the road, get off the car, see the grassland, river, cattle and sheep under the hillside, walk along the hillside, and you will find that the grassland is full of groundhog holes, at this time you will no longer think they are cute, because there is a hole every step you take, and these groundhogs are making holes while destroying the geological structure of the land and the root mechanism of plants.

When walking around the grassland at will, you can see many small groundhogs running from a distance, but as soon as you hear a sound, you can quickly escape back to the hole, if you want to take pictures, it is impossible, they are running too fast, you can't capture them at all, but I captured a frog. (Lonely, lonely, lonely...) ）

The yaks are lazily eating grass and basking in the sun, if they want to get closer, they basically keep a distance of more than 10 meters, which can also ensure safety, if the yak will not hurt people, they want to get closer, You can't get close, and the yak is afraid of tourists, and it will run away if you get close.

By the way, if you have friends like us who want to have a picnic, you can buy lunch in the county seat in advance and bring it over, and everyone sits in rows together, enjoying the touch of the plateau breeze. Chat with friends and eat food together, and be sure to pack all the garbage after the meal, after all, the ecology of nature still needs us to protect.

After lunch, I rested for a while, and then prepared to go to the next attraction, the Gemo Temple. Gemo Temple, also known as: "Huiyuan Temple", is located in Gemo Township, the west of Aba County, 13 kilometers away from the county seat, founded in 1790, with a history of more than 200 years, entering the temple does not require free admission, but please be sure to abide by the customs and regulations, and you are not allowed to take photos in the temple.

This Tibetan Buddhist Gelug temple has two Guinness records: it has the largest Maitreya Buddha in Asia and the largest one-piece Buddha temple in China, comparable to the Potala Palace , and the museum contains Shakyamuni's physical relics.

There are also prayer wheels on the left and right sides of the temple, and the masters who practice in the temple will walk in from one side from time to time and turn them one by one.

The temple buildings are lined up, which looks particularly sacred against the blue sky, and some wall photos here are also very good, taking artistic photos, image photos are available, and the background is simple. It's also easy to cut out the picture.

After visiting the Gemo Monastery, we began to return to Aba County, and on the way back, we could see Tibetan-style villages, it is said that there are more than 5,000 large and small Amdo Tibetan houses in Aba County. They are scattered across fields or grasslands.

According to the locals, some people have been developing Tibetan-style house-type homestays in recent years, and they must try it when they have the opportunity.

4Day|Aba County - Chengdu

At about 7 a.m., after breakfast at the hotel, I began to return to Chengdu.
