🏠Wolong Shenshuping Panda Base
Alias: "Panda Kindergarten"
Location: Wenchuan County, Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan
Environment: Close to Wolong, at an altitude of 1700 meters, surrounded by mountains, the natural environment is very good
Ticket Price: Adults 90/person, Minors 45/person🎫
Opening Hours: Monday to Sunday 9:00-17:00
💡Several reasons to recommend Wolong Panda Base
✅1. This is the headquarters of the China Giant Panda Research Center🐮 (except for the Walnut Ping Base which is not open for public visits), many pandas from Dujiangyan and Ya'an were transferred from Shenshuping.
✅2. The natural environment is very good, cool in summer⛰️ because it is surrounded by mountains, and in winter it's rare to see snow in Sichuan and you can encounter snow pandas (🔔Hot Knowledge: Pandas are not afraid of cold but heat!!!)
✅3. Panda Kindergarten!!! Here you can see 3 little pandas climbing trees, sitting in a row, eating and other super cute activities! Only in Wolong can you see this～
✅4. The design of the giant panda enclosures here is very good, because the base is very large, all concentrated on one hillside, it is very convenient for visitors to play inside, and the panda living environment🏠 is also very good～
✅5. This is a base where you can volunteer with pandas! But children need to be over 8 years old
✅6. There's one more reason recently: you have the chance to see Fubao here!!!
⚠️TIPS: Because the Wolong base is far from the city area～ It is recommended for friends who can drive there!

‼️Panda volunteer recruitment is ongoing ING
Limited spots, and the summer vacation is a busy travel season
Friends who want to experience being a "Panda Poop Shoveler" are advised to book early～

Annual inventory of the most recommended places for everyone to go hiking to see snow | Haier Dang
| Haier Dang.🏡City: Sichuan
📍Location: Tangfang, Wolong Town, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture
❄️Features: A free snow play spot that has not been developed.
🐾Hiking guide:
We climbed to the top of the neighboring mountain, about 4500m above sea level. After reaching the snow line, climb to the left, and Haier Dang is on the right.
·
It takes about half an hour to reach Tangfang, Wolong Town, Aba Prefecture, Sichuan from Siguniang Mountain Town.
·
Time: Round trip in one day. The snow on the summit is relatively thick, so the walk is relatively slow. If you want to reach the summit, start early, start hiking at 9-10 in the morning, and you can return to the starting point of the car at 5-6 in the afternoon.
·
Distance: More than ten kilometers round trip.
·
Track two bl: Wandering mountaineering - Gree Peak (Haier Dang)
·
Note⚠️:
1️⃣The snow on the summit is thick, don't take pictures too close to the edge, pay attention to safety.
2️⃣The temperature difference between morning and evening and noon is large, it is particularly cold when the sun is about to set, pay attention to keeping warm.
3️⃣Dress🧥: Warm hat, snow goggles, face mask, quick-drying underwear, down jacket, storm jacket, storm pants, hiking shoes, snow cover, ice claws, thick gloves, hiking poles.
4️⃣Be sure to pay attention to safety when going down the mountain, don't try to slide down easily, the snow here is relatively loose, and there are many protruding stones underneath, it is easy to get injured when sliding down, be sure to pay attention to the safety of your feet when going down the mountain!
5️⃣Civilized hiking, take away the trash!

The world suddenly turns into evening, and the mountains and rivers have already entered autumn--the colorful forests in western Sichuan
The world suddenly turns into evening, and the mountains and rivers have already entered autumn--the colorful forests in western Sichuan.
⛳ It's a 3-hour drive from Chengdu, a lesser-known wild mountain in Wolong Town, Aba Prefecture.
🍂 The best viewing season is from late October to early November. There is a meadow on the top of the mountain called 'Baoshan Pasture'. This mountain is not as popular as Ganhaizi, and there are few visitors. You may occasionally meet some experienced hikers on the road. There are colorful forests, meadows, plum forests, and primitive forests on the mountain. The scenery is no less than Ganhaizi.
It is recommended not to drive up the mountain by yourself. The road on the mountain is very narrow. We took a transfer car from the locals at the foot of the mountain to the halfway up the mountain. It costs 30 yuan per person for a round trip. It takes another 1.5 hours to walk from the drop-off point to the top of the mountain, passing through a primitive forest.
👐 Because it is a wild mountain, there are no toilets and supply stations along the way, so you need to carry everything yourself. There are cherry red plums, potatoes, Tibetan pumpkins, radishes, cabbages, and yak meat for sale at the foot of the mountain. You can take some home on your way.
🙆 It is recommended to bring children who have mountaineering experience or are over 5 years old. The road is steep and not suitable for young children.

Chengdu surrounding tour, it's really beautiful!
I had nothing to do on the weekend, so I came to Dujiangyan with my friends.
This time I chose Wuyou Flower Valley, it was really a surprise when I came here for the first time, hydrangeas all over the mountains! Super beautiful!
🏨We planned to play for two days, so we stayed at Wuyou Bieyuan Chanzhu (Wuyou Flower Valley Store). The overall environment is super good👍, and the facilities inside are also very complete😌.

🌟Starting from Chengdu, go to Caishenping first. It's really dreamy here. Then walk for about 20 minutes to reach the top of the mountain. The scenery along the way is so beautiful. There are rainbow ladders and swings on the top of the mountain, these two places are really good for taking pictures.
🌟The white ladder is also very distinctive, taking pictures with the surrounding green leaves is really beautiful.
🌟The misty forest is particularly mysterious, if you come when there is fog, it's like a fairyland. The sunlight shines down through the gaps in the leaves, it's so beautiful.
🌟The hydrangeas of the wishing tree have pink, blue, and purple hydrangeas together like a sea of flowers, it's very atmospheric to take pictures!
🌟Finally, I arrived at Zipingpu Reservoir, the reservoir scenery is really spectacular. The lake water is sparkling and the surrounding mountains are breathtaking.
🚗It takes about 1.5 hours to drive from the city center of Chengdu.
Tickets are 38 per person, it's very convenient!
🎈Travel tips:
✔️Be sure to go on a sunny morning, it's easy to get foggy in the afternoon and you won't see anything✔️Go to the top of the mountain first, it's super beautiful to take pictures there📷
✔️There are small shops and barbecue restaurants for dining, it's recommended to bring your own!
✔️It's colder in the morning and evening, remember to bring thick clothes🥶

Argou | Sichuan has its own Atelier.
🎈Argou Longchi
🚗Transportation strategy:
Navigation [Argou Scenic Area Trade Union Outdoor Labor Service Station]
🕙Opening hours: open all day
💰Ticket price: no ticket required
📸Photo location:
There are 3 large stones on the way, you can climb up the stone to take a big picture, but pay attention to safety first. The most out-of-the-box location is at the end of the wooden plank road, walking towards the small road, you can take a big picture of life with a telephoto lens.
📌Tips:
[One] Argou is in the development stage, there is no supply station along the way, you need to prepare related materials by yourself.
[Two] Except for the foot of the mountain, there are no toilet facilities throughout the journey.
[Three] Except for the pass, there is no mobile phone signal throughout the journey, it is recommended to make an appointment to go down the mountain in advance.

Sichuan version of Altai [Algou].
I'm really tired of the roads to Wenchuan and Siguniang Mountain. Sichuan, you're the best... I haven't been anywhere recently and I don't have anywhere in particular I want to go, so let's go there...
🎒 Hiking strategy:
Arrive at the hiking starting point around 10:40. The hike is 5km one way with an elevation gain of 1000m. Parking is 10 yuan, and insurance is 5 yuan per person at the entrance. There is no signal📶 throughout the hike, so you need to rent a walkie-talkie. I already had one, so I brought my own.
Road conditions🦓: Scenic area road, all stairs, you can walk to the top. Of course, I took a wild road halfway, a slope of 60.70 degrees. It's not slippery if it doesn't rain. I recommend beginners to stick to the scenic area road, the distance is about the same.
Photo shooting📷: There is a small stream in the first half of the journey, and there are large rocks in the mountains during the ascent. There is a dragon pool at the top, and it's still very photogenic when the weather is good.
Temperature🌡️: Chengdu is 35 degrees, and it's only 20 degrees there. It's very windy at the top of the mountain, so it's best to have a wind shell. I wore a base layer when I wasn't in the sun, and shorts and long socks the rest of the time.
🎒 Equipment list:
👟 Hiking shoes, quick-drying clothes, windproof jacket and pants, sun hat, headscarf, gloves, knee pads.
🌂 Raincoat, sun hat, sunscreen, sunglasses.
🎒 Backpack, trekking poles, thermos, food and water, garbage bags, common medicines, etc.
⚠️ Difficulty analysis:
High altitude, prone to altitude sickness. Long distance, diverse road conditions, large elevation gain, suitable for experienced and physically fit people~
There are food and fruit vendors at the entrance of the scenic area. Wenchuan's plums are really sweet. You can bring some.
Finally, to summarize, Algou is actually quite cost-effective. Of course, the altitude is 3000, so it's still demanding on your physical fitness. Our children didn't go up because they weren't feeling well due to altitude sickness. There are also quite a lot of people, so the experience is a bit worse for those who prefer a small and quiet environment... There are too many people with loudspeakers

I found the most beautiful town in Sichuan in Wenchuan and stayed for three days.
In addition to the magnificent natural scenery, there are many cultural landscapes worth exploring on the vast land west of Chengdu. On the occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I drove from Chengdu to find this good place for vacation, which is known as the "most beautiful Qiang town" Wenchuan [Shuimo Ancient Town]
This is the place where the "Tibetan Qiang Han" culture blends, and it is also the "good mountain, good water, good tea" three good ecological towns. It has been known as the hometown of longevity a thousand years ago. As a blend of Han civilization and Tibetan and Qiang civilization, the architectural style of [Shuimo Ancient Town] is also a big fusion. You can enjoy it slowly when you come to play
[Chan Shou Old Street]
This is the core area of the entire Shuimo Ancient Town, with a total length of 1.3 kilometers. When using aerial photography to overlook from the air, you can see that the entire street is distributed in an "S" shape. On both sides of the street are typical Tibetan, Qiang, and Han ethnic groups. The fusion of architectural styles, you can see the white tower in front of the Han-style archway, and the stage under the Qiang watchtower, which has a strong ethnic style and a unique charm under the fusion of ethnic cultures
[Ancient Town Watchtower]
This is the tallest building in the entire ancient town. You can overlook the entire ancient town from the tower. The watchtower is the most common architectural style in the Qiang living area. It contains the residential culture of the Qiang people for thousands of years. It is also the Qiang people. The culmination of architectural wisdom, there are also some characteristic snack shops next to the watchtower, you can buy a little taste
[Le Shui Fang]
This is a very beautiful antique building, located on the side of the road to Shuimo Ancient Town. The most obvious feature here is the huge waterwheel hanging next to the house and a large stone mill in the square. In ancient times, the local people relied on river water to wash the waterwheel. Rotate to drive the stone mill in the workshop to work, solving the needs of the local people to grind food. It is said that it is also the origin of the name "Shuimo Ancient Town", so it is worth checking in
Shuimo Ancient Town does not have so much commercial atmosphere, only simple residents and small town life, some very characteristic teahouses and restaurants, the consumption is not high, you can taste it, and there are characteristic bacon and mountain treasures, the price is not expensive Buy a little as a gift is also good
The mountains are clear and the water is beautiful, and the people are outstanding. Don't miss such a good place!

Xianzai Kongshanjing is located on the hillside two kilometers away from the small town. The pure white main building, coupled with the large-scale transparent open facade, cleverly integrates the ancient town scenery into the window view, and also makes the boundary between architecture and nature become blurred. Following the concept of "adapting measures to local conditions", Xianzai Kongshanjing has found a balance in the restoration of old buildings and space innovation, growing harmoniously in nature, coexisting and coexisting with light and dust.
·
Guest room
The main body of Kongshanjing has three floors of space. The first floor is a restaurant and public area. Only eight guest rooms are planned on the second and third floors. The warm yellow textured walls in the room, coupled with the original wood-style interior decoration and a large number of cotton and linen products, make the room have a primitive but comfortable feeling that makes people feel stable.
·
Catering
The main meals are hot pot, barbecue or authentic Qiang dishes, rich and frugal. The Qiang people's hanging pot is very distinctive. The pot bottom is cooked with bacon. The rich and moist ingredients are smoked and roasted all year round. With the dipping dish, the flavor is simply amazing.
·
Experience
In the Panlongxi Village of the ancient town, every spring is full of greenery. Boil a pot of water from Shouxi Lake, make a cup of tea from Panlong Mountain, and the long-lost clouds and mountains in the cup turn the expectation of spring into a sigh of tea. "Xianzai·Kongshanjing" opened a Xilu Biancha tea coffee shop with Qiang cultural characteristics at the foot of the mountain, where you can feel the lingering time.

Today's extreme challenge in Al'er Valley was great, don't come
Title card, haha
You must come, it will definitely blow up your social media
Navigation address: Al'er Valley or Sanjiaoba Post Station
It is a 3-hour drive from Chengdu, depart at 6 am and arrive at 9 am to start hiking. The leader repeatedly emphasized that beginner plateau hikers must take Rhodiola a week in advance to prevent severe altitude sickness!!
📣 The altitude ranges from 2700 meters to 4600 meters, with a total hiking distance of 10 km
📣 Climbing at high altitudes is a challenge of heart rate and endurance. Novices without hiking experience are discouraged, as altitude sickness is a very serious matter. The feeling of severe headache and difficulty breathing is unforgettable for a lifetime
😭 Unfortunately, we didn't reach the top and didn't see the most beautiful lake. Our teammates took 4 hours to climb to the top and 3 hours to descend
📣 Currently, the scenic area is free, with only a 10 yuan parking fee. Remember, there is no signal! Follow the leader's arrangements, we have walkie-talkies.
Also, there are no places to buy water and food! You need to bring your own, especially water! The temperature these days is around 20 degrees, you can wear a thin jacket with an outer layer. It's not cold during the climb, but very cold when you stop. Bring a scarf to protect your back if necessary to prevent catching a cold
📣 Wearing a pair of shoes with good grip is very useful, and a hiking stick is essential
One-day round trip, return at 5 pm, and back to Chengdu after 8 pm! No severe discomfort after taking the medicine, but physically exhausted, taking a break every few steps. But youth has no price, just go for it
It is your 1-year-old birthday! You will definitely have a bright future~
Hope you can grow up healthy and sound!
I’ll also say happy birthday to your younger and elder brothers.
Wish you stay safe in the wild and create your own little world.

The Pandas in Shenshuping Base are Killing Me😍
Thank you for supporting yesterday's video😘😘😘Guys, you must go to Wolong Shenshuping to watch Pandas! Though it is a little far from the urban areas, there are many pandas for you to see! Plus, the weather has been quite ideal recently. So, you can watch them as much (and long) as you want!
Many gardens belong to mother pandas with their cubs, which are so lovely. Unfortunately, when I saw Xiao Qi Ji, he fell asleep, turning his back on us. I went to his home twice only to find him sleeping!

Changping Valley of Siguniang Mountain
Changping Valley
🎈Tickets: Adults 90, Students 55 (including shuttle bus)
🚗Transportation:
【Tianfu Xing】Charter, Tianfu Xing Lantu Dreamer 7-seater business car, so the next day can be simpler, drive from the hotel to Changping Valley (it is about one kilometer from Shuangqiao Valley to the entrance of Changping Valley, not recommended to walk, as Changping Valley is more physically demanding).
🍊Dining: Hotels generally have breakfast! You can buy some snacks, biscuits, and water to take with you to eat while hiking. There are supermarkets in the town you pass from Shuangqiao Valley to Changping Valley. I bought from a supermarket called Panjia Supermarket at that time, the prices were okay! The owner was enthusiastic!
⭕️Tour Route: Hike all the way in!
🔹There is a large square at the entrance of the scenic area, but you need to enter the hall to buy tickets and a package for the sightseeing bus, then get on the bus and go directly to a gate marked Changping Valley. Getting off the bus is the official entry into the scenic area! There are also many horses here, available for a fee.
🔹There is also a temple called Sigula when you turn up. Siguniang Mountain is called Sigula Sacred Mountain, probably to commemorate this.
Further ahead is a boardwalk made of wood, the further you go, the more you can feel the beauty of the mountains, and you can also see Yaomei Peak!
🔹Chongchongjiao Waterfall is just a small waterfall, really small hahaha~
🔹After walking a bit, you reach Dead Tree Beach, where many trees are in the lake water. This is a feature of the plateau, the water temperature on the plateau is very low, so the trees can be well preserved in the water, not rotting or decaying. This is also a good place for photos~ The background is green mountains, with blue sky and lake water, really beautiful!
🔹Going forward to Gan Haizi, there is no boardwalk, only horse trails. This section of the road gradually enters the feeling of a primeval forest🌲Gan Haizi, the scenery here is still very good, click click a lot of photos, ⛺ going further up is relatively the stage of hiking that is more challenging.
🔹Further ahead is the core area of Muluozi, the scenery is really extraordinarily beautiful, snow-capped mountains, meadows, lakes~
