Things to do in Aba Prefecture

This place is totally worth a visit as the scenery is truly beautiful. However, it may be a little bit crowded during peak season. Bus boarding could be an issue during peak season. It may take more time to travel within the park under such situation

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five stars out of five! A four-star foundation delivering a five-star experience – a hidden gem in the top tier of Western Sichuan, and this was my second visit! Having explored many famous destinations in Western Sichuan, Bipenggou firmly holds its place among the top tier of scenic spots in my heart. My second visit after many years was even more profound. The view of Panyang Lake is absolutely stunning. The twin peaks of Yangmantai Peak and Camel Peak rise abruptly from the ground, sharp and imposing, like two spears piercing the sky. In autumn, the lakeside forests are ablaze with color, golden fir trees, dark green primeval forests, and pristine white snow-capped peaks all framed together, creating a perfectly balanced and rich landscape. From Longwanghai Lake upwards, lakes, forests, and snow-capped mountains unfold gradually, each step revealing a new vista. The natural scenery itself is already breathtaking. But what truly earns me full marks isn't just the stunning scenery, but also the remarkable management approach taken by the scenic area. As an aerial photography enthusiast, what I value most is this: Bipenggou didn't adopt a blanket no-fly policy. After prior communication and reporting, clear rules were established, limiting flights to 120 meters. As long as visitors consciously stay away from densely populated areas, flights are legal. Risks objectively exist, and managing through rules, real-name registration, and clear responsibilities is far more effective than simply shutting things down. Many scenic spots have decent natural scenery, but poor management has dragged down the overall experience. Bipenggou, through its meticulous and measured management, has steadily elevated its original four-star rating to five-star, making it a model worthy of emulation by other scenic areas. The sightseeing buses and electric vehicles within the scenic area are well-organized, with reasonable route planning and a gentle pace of altitude gain, making it friendly to tourists of different physical abilities. The facilities are clean and tidy, without excessive commercial noise, preserving the original, tranquil snow-capped mountain and forest texture of the Qionglai Mountains to the greatest extent possible. Swallow Rock Nest offers expansive views and a refreshing breeze, perfect for quietly gazing at the distant mountains. The wooden boardwalk around Pan Yang Lake is comfortable to walk on; on calm days, the snow-capped mountains and colorful forests are reflected in the lake, making every snapshot a wallpaper-worthy scene. Having seen many tourist attractions that rely on hype and legends, only to find the reality vastly different, Bipenggou is the opposite. Its scenery is truly impressive, and its management is sound. It doesn't rely on gimmicks to gain popularity; it has earned its reputation through its genuine beauty and effective governance. My second visit was equally captivating, proving its enduring charm. Whether for autumn foliage viewing, hiking, or aerial photography, it's worth a special trip, and I'll definitely come back.

Huanglong Scenic Area is China's only well-preserved plateau wetland, with more than 3,000 colorful pools and uniquely structured, brightly colored travertine landscapes as its main attraction.

I highly recommend Mount Siguniang! It truly lives up to its reputation as the "Queen of Sichuan Mountains, the Alps of the East." This trip to western Sichuan was absolutely breathtaking; all my expectations were met, and it even far exceeded my anticipation! The four snow-capped peaks stand in a row, with the highest, Yaomei Peak, towering and beautiful, perpetually covered in snow, its sharp edges striking awe-inspiring against the clear blue sky of the plateau. Clouds often swirl around the mountainsides like a soft white veil, sometimes obscuring the peaks, sometimes revealing their true beauty. Every frame, amidst the ever-changing clouds, is like a natural oil painting; no filter is needed for any shot.

This is the friendliest place in western Sichuan. The scenery is beautiful, and it's not tiring. You can take a sightseeing bus up the mountain and slowly enjoy the scenery on the way down. We also went rafting. It's a place I would like to visit again in different seasons.

Panda village, fresh air and feel relax and peaceful after see Panda Fu Bao ❤️✨

Don't be misled by the name. It not only has glaciers, but also colorful forests, lakes, snow-capped mountains, and grasslands. The scenery is breathtaking, like a dream. Afterwards, I skipped Bipenggou, the last stop on my itinerary in western Sichuan. Facilities and services: It's the most complete among the scenic areas in western Sichuan. There are restrooms and hot water at every stop, and the staff are very friendly. While hiking, staff even came to ask if I needed anything. There's only a 12-kilometer boardwalk. Compared to hiking the more than 20 kilometers of original trail (horse trail) in Changpinggou, where you don't see any staff at all (the scenery is beautiful). The scenic area shuttle buses are also plentiful, running every few minutes. It won't waste your time. Overall: Perfect.

Online ticketing is very convenient for the attractions along the Sichuan-Gannan Grand Loop! After taking the escalator up to the mountaintop for the view, I recommend walking down the wooden boardwalk for the rest of the journey. However, the parking lot for the escalator is quite far from the entrance! There's no shuttle bus either! Ultimately, we had to split up: one person went down the stairs to get the car, and the other walked down the boardwalk. The experience was just so-so!

The scenery is truly beautiful. The weather was great the day I went, so the scenery was absolutely gorgeous. The lake, the flower-filled lake, and the ecological environment are simply amazing. There's a commercial street right outside with all sorts of food options, which is very convenient.

Lianbaoyeze, Stone Mountain, the Eastern Magic World, is also magical, one of the few scenic spots that can be entered by car... However, during peak season, you need to pick up a ticket and wait in line, and unfortunately there are scalpers, so the wait can be quite long... The altitude is high, and altitude sickness is obvious, so please be careful.
