Depart from the designated location in Chengdu at 7:00 AM, drive along the Rongchang Expressway towards Li County, and arrive at the starting point of Li Xiao Road in approximately 3.5 hours to begin your secret exploration.
The first stop heads straight to Liangtai Gully Hongshiping Scenic Area, featuring pristine ecology. The 2km-long red stone beach stretches between snow-capped mountains and forests, with orange rock formations complementing the streams. Stay for 1.5 hrs to stroll, take photos, and capture the stunning scenery of snow mountains and red stones in one frame.
Then drive to Da'erpu, a 1-hour journey through forests and meadows with gradually changing elevations. Upon arrival, take a light hike along the riverbank, watching cattle and horses roam amidst abandoned log cabins dotting the pastoral landscape. Spend 1 hour immersing in the wild charm of the plateau, and enjoy a simple picnic (bring your own food).
Return from Da'erpu around 3:00 PM, enjoy the scenic snow-capped mountains along Li Xiao Road, and arrive back in Chengdu around 6:30 PM to conclude your one-day secret adventure.
