May. The

magical Jiuzhai of Erjia in western Sichuan not only let more people know about the paradisiacal scenery, but also plucked our heartstrings. It's like a seed buried in the heart, growing, growing! After many years of suppression, I finally braved the wind and rain with my wife like moths to a flame on May Day this year, and couldn't wait to throw myself into her arms to see her peerless face and relieve the obsession in my heart! Appreciate those unknown surprises, surprises, or shocks and amazements.

After two days of preparation, I temporarily put aside the trivialities of oil, salt, vegetables and rice, and went to western Sichuan with my wife to blow the free wind and breathe the clear air, which also made Jiuzhai no longer wait for our audience!

This trip to western Sichuan avoided the peak of May Day travel, and we specially planned to go out on May 1 and enter the scenic spot on the 3rd, which proved that such planning was wise afterwards.

The trip to Jiuzhai was generally perfect, not only feeling all kinds of self-heating beauty but also tasting Tibetan food, and gaining some touches. Therefore, while it is still in the afterglow of the aftertaste, it is necessary to make a summary and summarize the gains and losses.

1. Time and route planning

Day 1: Ya'an Caoba → Songpan

overnight stay in Songpan, parking fees are too expensive, occasionally Songpan bus station can park, charge 10 yuan. Seeing that the Tibetan aunt was kind and enthusiastic, my wife ordered to give an extra 5 yuan. The public toilet is clean and bright, easy to wash, and rest in the car after a simple meal.

Day 2: Songpan → Jiuzhaigou

breakfast 28 yuan yak beef offal soup, full of a large bowl of sea, it must not be a CD without the help of my wife. It seems that it is not a prosperous place, and the weight is sufficient, and what is said is true.

After breakfast, I left the ancient city of Songzhou and drove for 2 hours via Chuanzhu Temple to Zhangzha Town, and found a free parking lot opposite the 'Seeing Jiuzhai' theater.

My wife is quite satisfied with this, and I am very relieved!

It's still early, stroll around with my wife, and feel the national characteristics of China's most popular scenic spot town. One of the large animal skins was mistaken for bear skin, and the boss introduced it as Tibetan mastiff skin, which was clumsy!

Along the way, there is a dazzling array of Tibetan handicrafts, colorful and varied.

I agreed with my wife in advance that I would try to taste the local specialties in western Sichuan, and I saw a clean Tibetan restaurant that was quite eye-catching.

The 160 yuan small pot yak soup pot walks up.

The

soup is indescribably delicious, I can only blindly praise "so fragrant, so fresh", 5 yuan a bowl of highland barley wine is slightly sour and slightly sweet, really delicious, the same price of butter tea is milky, moderately salty, there is no expected smell, not repulsive at all, delicious!

The

wine is full of meat and soup, and the remaining half is packed, and the boss's self-brewed highland barley wine is packed with 10 catties to take away.

The moon and stars are sparse, the wind is slow and the rain is sparse, yes, it is raining, the wind is blowing, looking up at the colorful clouds chasing the moon, such a scene is magical enough, right?

Day 3: May 3, enter the ditch today.

On the last day of May Day, the car stopped at the ditch entrance and charged 40, which was just a little expensive.

Jiuzhai does not look at the water when he returns, and his name is well-deserved. Personally, I think the must-see attractions 1 is the colorful pond and 2 is the pearl beach. The water in the colorful pool is like colorful crystals, which are incredibly beautiful.

Pearl Beach Waterfall is the location of the opening credits of the old version of Journey to the West, looking up, like the Milky Way pouring down, thousands of pearls tilting down, the sunlight of the plateau reflecting the water droplets, and the silver light shines. The scene of Tang monk and his apprentice, the four of them trekking hard under the theme song of Journey to the West, is immersive and wonderful.

The other attractions are also wow! In short, the water in Jiuzhaigou is no longer ordinary water, but ice crystals that have been lit by the gods, and the colorful and beautiful ones dare not disturb! I will not repeat it again.

At 3 p.m., the tour ended, and the Jiuhong Grassland Sightseeing Highway more than 100 kilometers south via Chuanzhu Temple and Galitai felt the vastness and magnificence of the Yellow River Prairie. It made my wife constantly sigh: I didn't expect there to be such a vast grassland in Sichuan. Under the blue sky, marshmallow-like white clouds are within reach. On the way, he was blocked by yaks crossing the road several times, and the newborn calves were cute and cute.

All the way to the grassland sky, and finally stopped in a hurry at the Hongyuan Riganqiao rest area in Wache Town.

There is a monument to the Red Army crossing the grassland here

, and at the parking point, there are enthusiastic Tibetan brothers and sisters who guide us to the parking location and tell us the specific toilet and water intake location, the most touching thing is that Sister Dolma extended the closing time of the specialty canteen, illuminated us with the lights in the store, and brought steaming butter tea for us to taste for free to warm up our bodies.

Once again, I felt the simple enthusiasm of the national family and Tibetan compatriots, that beam of light not only illuminated us tired, but also warmed our cold hearts, and sincerely wished Sister Dolma and the unknown big brother Tashi Dele!

Day 4: When the first morning glow reflects the red sky, we go straight to the first bay of the Yellow River.

The season has not yet arrived, and standing at the highest point of the observation deck has not been able to experience the soft artistic conception of the Yellow River's grass and blue waters.

However, seeing the cute groundhog for the first time also made my wife happy a little.

There are many horse riding tracks along the way, but my wife's wish to let me gallop on horseback, thank you wife!

The enthusiastic Tibetan uncle repeatedly invited us to go to his pasture in July to ride horses and enjoy the flowers.

Day 5: Pass through Hongyuan, Anqu, Rangqu, and Zhuokeji Official Village to Kepantian Street, Malkang Songgang, and enter the homestay.

In the evening, I went to a farmhouse in a corner of the Tibetan village that was still in the development stage, ordered a few side dishes, drank a little wine leisurely under the apple tree, and shared with my wife what I had seen along the way. The evening breeze caresses, the Tibetan village watchtower on the mountain pass is plated with the afterglow of the sun, and the huge black crow is

really tired of traveling in the forest, but the novelty and surprises on the journey will also make people refreshed!

Day 6: Pass through Jinchuan and Beauty Valley to Danba, and enter the Xinduqiao Shili Gallery along 248 Landscape Avenue through Yala Snow Mountain, Tagong Grassland, and Moshi Park. October should be the most beautiful season for 248 Landscape Avenue to view the colorful forest. People are already planning to cross the 248 Landscape Avenue again in October to make up for the colorful forest scenery that they have not been able to enjoy.

Malbang's cherries are famous far and wide, but in fact, pollution-free strawberries are my wife's favorite. The flesh is firm, sweet and juicy, and the faint milky aroma fills the mouth, making people unable to stop eating.

opposite Moshi Park does not need to enter the park to play, you can get a glimpse of it by parking on the side of the road.

From my unprofessional point of view, I explained to my wife: when the earth's crust moves, the incompletely developed coal seam is arched out of the ground, and the landform formed by rainwater is not as ornamental as imagined, except for gimmicks.

A glimpse of the swan and leave.

The scenery of Xindu Bridge is truly soothing, and the reputation of a photography paradise is well deserved. However, October is her most beautiful season, and she looks forward to the next beautiful encounter.

Yuzi West is located on the top of the mountain of Yuzi West Village in Xinduqiao, which is a 360-degree viewing platform with an altitude of about 4200m, and you can see Yala Snow Mountain, Siguniang Mountain, and Gongga Mountains when the weather is good.

Pay 20 for insurance, the ticket is free, a little surprise. All the way to the top of the mountain, the weather changed suddenly, and the wind and snowflakes obscured the shadow of the surrounding snow-capped mountains.

There is no anti-rebellious wife, swinging with great interest and having a lot of fun.

The unseen galaxy and starry sky will be left for the next time.

Running all the way, joining the rolling traffic of 318, suddenly encountering a snowstorm while climbing over Zheduo Mountain, which made his tired wife excited. People who love snow should have a crystal clear and pure heart!

Day 6: A 12 yuan ticket can visit the world-famous Luding Bridge, and it is not difficult to imagine the heroic and fearless feats of the 27 warriors on the swaying bridge deck, and the people's heroes are immortal!

I heard from a friend that the cherry greedy people in Chuyi Township wanted to satisfy their greed, but the road was difficult, and they had to return the mulberries that cost 4 yuan a pound to their wife.

Returning to Caoba via the Yaxi Expressway, at this point, the Wuyi Sichuan West Small Crossing of more than 1,700 kilometers ended perfectly. This trip has gained a lot and regretted a lot. For the next trip, a more perfect experience is summarized as follows:

1. The car is in good condition, and half the remaining fuel tank must be filled.

2. Warm clothes such as jackets, thin down jackets, and long pants are available.

3. Self-heating food, biscuits, bread, filled coffee, red bull, fruits can be replenished along the way in appropriate amounts.

4. Sunglasses, sunscreen, sunscreen face towel, and sun hat are essential.

5. The most important thing is to plan the driving time and ensure adequate sleep, which can prevent high reactions and increase the spirit of subsequent play.

6. It is best to travel at off-peak times in terms of time arrangement, which can avoid crowds and save costs.
