In July, I led a team to Xichang, Sichuan for research and visited many ancient villages. I truly felt a lifestyle completely different from the "007" pace of Shenzhen and the fast rhythm of Toronto. 🌿 While chatting casually with the boss, I was really attracted by his "Buddhist" mindset! Sometimes, maybe we don't need to be so tense, right? Just walking and stopping, having a place to rest is enough～ 📷 Super photogenic! Lots of greenery showing the original look of Dashiban Village~ The room with a courtyard on the second floor is very chill. 📍 Xichang Yunye Homestay

#tripflyingtoChina Switzerland Dragon Land Come see the glacier, the second viewpoint after going up to the highest point of Siguniang Mountain (Siguniangshan). The park car will stop for us to take pictures at each point, from the highest point down. The beauty of this 5 A level national park varies in each season, but it is beautiful in every season. The weather up there is quite cold all year round because it is almost 5,000 meters above sea level. Travel recommendations for each season Autumn (September - November) The weather starts to get colder. It is the most beautiful time, no less than summer because you will get to see the leaves change color. Red trees alternate with golden yellow, reflecting on the river, clear sky, contrasting with the beautiful view of the snowy mountains. 🌤 Summer (June - August) is the most recommended season to visit. The nights are cold, but the days are quite warm. You can hike comfortably. See beautiful flowers blooming all over the valley. Take beautiful pictures from every angle. See the clear, cool water flowing in the stream, which is melted by the snow on the mountain. You can also go down to play. Spring (March - May) It is still cold. Snow starts to melt. Flowers start to bloom. Contrast with the snow-capped mountains 🗻 Winter (December - February) Snow covers the entire area until it is completely white. The lake turns into ice. #triptravelchina #placestovisitchengdu

Winter travel in Sichuan and Tibet is an unforgettable experience, but it also requires some preparation and precautions. In the Sichuan-Tibet region, the winter weather is harsh, the roads may be icy, and there may even be blizzards. Here are some suggestions and precautions: 1. Prepare sufficient winter equipment: including warm clothing, windproof and waterproof jackets and pants, anti-skid shoes, gloves, hats, scarves, etc. Ensure that the clothes are warm and dry. 2. Choose transportation carefully: If you plan to drive or take a bus, be sure to understand the road conditions and weather. In winter, the road conditions may be very difficult, especially in high-altitude areas. Consider hiring a local experienced driver or joining a tour group led by a senior driver. 3. Prevention of altitude sickness: The altitude in the Sichuan-Tibet region is high, and winter is more likely to cause altitude sickness. It is recommended to adapt for at least one or two days before going, and you can also ask the doctor for advice on preventing and relieving altitude sickness. 4. Ensure food and accommodation safety: Choose reliable accommodation and catering services. In high-altitude areas, it is very important to find a warm place to stay. 5. Respect local culture and traditions: The Sichuan-Tibet region has a rich culture and tradition, understand and respect the local religious beliefs and customs. The most important thing is to do a detailed investigation and planning before traveling to the Sichuan-Tibet region in winter, to ensure safety and comfort

A place to practice trekking in the Himalayas and a place with heavenly scenery, Sikunyang Mountain is a mountain located in the central western part of Sichuan Province, China. It is such a wonderful place that some say it is better than the Himalayas. The green alpine meadows, waterfalls, and clouds that come up close are a place that truly deserves the word "spectacular." You can hire a porter to carry your luggage and provide you with food from the village below, and as you trek through the alpine mountains, you will feel completely at one with nature. I highly recommend it to those who love mountains and nature. #China #Sichuan #AbaZhangZhuang Autonomous Region #Sikunyang Mountain #Trekking #ChinaTravel #MountainHiking

I went to the Panda Research Institute, where many of my favorite pandas are kept. Sichuan Province is a big city with many buildings with innovative designs. After a short drive, we arrived at the panda research facility. There are pandas everywhere you look. They are kept by size, which is really soothing. They just eat bamboo and climb trees and fall down. It's one of the places I want to visit again. #Panda #Sichuan Province #Panda #Theme Park #Support Tourism

Exploring the Taoist culture on Qingcheng Mountain is considered as the birthplace of Taoism and one of the most important Taoist centers in China. It can be a long hike up to the top but you pass by beautiful lakes, waterfalls and plenty of nature. For the physically less active there is also a chance to pay for a cable car ride but if you have the ability to walk, I highly recommend it. You can spend a full day here and just let all your thoughts fade, refresh and re energize yourself. There are food opportunities along the way and also refreshments stops. For sure you won't get bored! #urbanexplorer#qingmingtravel#roadtrip

Known as the "last pure land on the water-blue planet," Daocheng Yading is not just worth visiting in autumn. Spring brings blooming flowers, summer is lush and green, autumn offers colorful forests, and winter is covered in ice and snow. Each season hides a unique romance of the plateau. This comprehensive guide packed with practical tips from across the web will help you easily explore this secret paradise～ - 📍 About Daocheng: The "Natural Museum" on the Plateau Daocheng Yading in Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan, is home to three snow-capped mountains all year round (Xianuoduoji, Yangmaiyong, and Chanadorje), a shining blue Milk Sea, and vast meadows, forests, and streams. The altitude here ranges from 2,900 meters to 6,032 meters, allowing you to experience all four seasons in one day—spring blossoms at the foot of the mountain, while the peaks are covered in snow, and even the air feels layered. · 📅 Seasonal Highlights: Choose the Best Time to Visit Based on Your Preferences 🔸Spring (March-May): Scattered wildflowers dot the green meadows, the sacred mountains shed their snow, the air is fresh, and there are fewer tourists—perfect for those who prefer tranquility; 🔸Summer (June-August): The mountains are lush and dripping with green, meadows are vibrant, and on good weather days, the scenery has a natural filter effect. However, the weather is changeable, so be prepared for rain; 🔸Autumn (October-November): Peak beauty season! The forests turn fiery red, golden yellow, and dusky purple, paired with pristine snowy mountains, like stepping into a painter’s palette—perfect for photos; 🔸Winter (December-February): A pure world wrapped in ice and snow, the snowy mountains look even more sacred. Some roads may be closed, suitable for travelers who don’t mind the cold and enjoy peaceful snowy landscapes. - 📸 Must-Photograph Spots: Capture the Plateau’s Stunning Moments 📍Luorong Pasture: A beautiful spot in all seasons—green in spring, lush in summer, golden in autumn, and white in winter. Chanadorje and Yangmaiyong snow mountains frame the scene, with streams flowing through meadows like a painting; 📍Milk Sea & Five Color Lake: Before 10 a.m., the light is soft. Shoot from a low angle to capture reflections, with snow mountains and colorful forests seemingly "falling" into the lake; 📍Xinbao Lake: A lesser-known treasure spot, like an emerald hidden in the forest, surrounded by century-old redwoods. Few people, beautiful scenery, no crowds; 📍New Protection Line Redwood Forest (Hidden Gem!): Century-old redwoods half yellow, half green, paired with the emerald of Xinbao Lake. If you’re lucky, you might catch a small yak in the frame, creating a full atmosphere. - 💡 Essential Tips for Beginners ▪️Altitude Sickness: Avoid strenuous exercise upon arrival, prepare glucose and energy bars in advance, rest and use oxygen if feeling unwell, and know your limits; ▪️Accommodation Choices: First-timers should stay in Shangri-La Town (lower altitude, better for acclimatization); for stargazing, choose Yading Village (prepare well for altitude sickness); ▪️Avoid Pitfalls: The plateau’s UV rays are strong—don’t forget sunscreen on the back of your neck, hands, and other small areas; sit on the left side by the window on the scenic bus to enjoy views of Xianuoduoji Snow Mountain; the last bus leaves at 7:00 p.m., and the last shuttle at 6:00 p.m., so plan your return time carefully. - Daocheng Yading
