The summer flowers in Western Sichuan are the "ticket" to enter the summer
Originally, there was such a fairyland hidden in Western Sichuan, a paradise on earth🌸. This year's May Day and summer vacation, don't just lie in bed, go enjoy the blooming flowers, the forest🌲, the romantic sunlight on the Golden Mountain🌄. Perhaps in life, it's just these moments that are truly romantic✨~
.
But thinking about going out, there will definitely be traffic jams, always in the car‼️ Getting off to take photos, it's crowded everywhere, no experience at all~ So traveling off-peak really solves 80% of my problems. I'm sharing this guide with you, summer is coming, let's rush together🔥

【📸Small Loop Travel Tips】
1⃣️Starting from the May Day holiday, more people travel to Western Sichuan, causing traffic jams. If you have enough time, you can leave 1-2 days in advance to avoid congestion.
2⃣️Tianquan is a service area, 100 kilometers away from Kangding. You can check in "✅318" here, and there are many panda🐼 plush toys locally.
3⃣️Actually, I prefer Gedilam to Yuzixi, as the atmosphere here is more suitable for photography.
4⃣️Litang has an average altitude of 🏔️4000m, which is higher than Xinduqiao. Be sure to prepare enough oxygen bottles to avoid altitude sickness.
5⃣️You must check in at the One Tree photo spot. A telephoto lens will give you a blockbuster feel.
6⃣️There are many flowers near the log cabin, and the forest vegetation is lush. Wearing light-colored dresses and taking photos here📷 is amazing.
7⃣️There are many unmissable sceneries along the way. You can get off the car to play, but don't litter❕
8⃣️Actually, joining a pure play group is much more cost-effective than self-driving, and you don't have to worry about driving everywhere, which is very relaxing.
👗Clothing preparation: Be sure to bring extra clothes, as it's quite cold there in spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Must bring sweaters, thick coats, windbreakers, hats, long pants, and hiking shoes.
💊Medicine preparation: Rhodiola/Highland Peace/Gastrointestinal medicine/Headache medicine
❇️Carry with you: Power bank, selfie stick, cash, sun umbrella, sunscreen, and thermos cup.

【🏘Accommodation Tips Along the Way】
🌀Xinduqiao is like a small county town, with many accommodations to choose from, but you must book a week in advance during the peak season.
🌀Xiazezong Village does not have as good conditions as the former, so choose a hotel with oxygen supply when staying.
🌀The conditions in Tagong Town are average. If you don't mind the distance, you can drive to Xinduqiao.
🌀It's very dry when sleeping at night, so apply more body lotion.
