Hailuogou Glacier Forest Park, Sichuan 🇨🇳

This Glacier Park is located in Moxi Town, Garze Sichuan Province. It is/has the largest ice fall in China and has massive virgin forest which has a lot of monkeys. You will see them while walking in the forest. As you can see in my photos, there's only fog and the glacier cannot be seen anywhere. We got so unlucky because the weather was bad when we were there. It wasn't raining but it was foggy, cold and misty. Thr last photo was just taken from one of their signage there. That is how it is supposed to look like on a clear day. Unfortunate, yes but we still enjoyed it. How to get there: From your hotel to the ticket office, it will only take you minutes to get there.. depending on how far your hotel is from the ticket place. It is also where the buses will be waitong for you which will take you up to the middle of the mountain. You can either hike up until you reach the peak or you can take the cable car with extra cost. (You can check my Moxi Town post to see how to get to the town first as this town will be your starting point) Hotel: There are so many to choose from and trip.com has a few options for you. Food: A lot of restaurant options just right outside your accommodation. Ticket Price: 90 rmb per person ‼️TIPS 1. Check the weather first or time you visit well. Make sure that it isn't raining.. You must visit there on a clear day if you want to see the glacier. Remember, there is no refund with your tickets. Don't waste it and just plan your visit when the weather is nice. Enjoy the glacier park! #mytripvlog #tripblazers #nationalpark #china #sichuan

Nice little hike @Sichuan Glacier Park ❄️🏔️

Pictures speak louder than words ✌️ How to get there: rental car, we went down from Kangding for about 3h What’s to see: Glacier, forest, nature and a lot of fog 🌫️ Costs: 200ish Time needed: half day Don’t forget to bring your drone for some of these beautiful aerial shots 🛸 IG: andykoh_m8 #fallingforfall #germaninchina #travellifestyle #aroundtheworld

Mt Gongga Hailuogou Glacier 3600m Sichuan

a stunning view over snow mountain Gongga with its peak at 7556, Mt Zhongshan (6800m), Mt Shenying, Silver Peak, N.1 world famous Hailuogou Glacier, N.2 and N.3 Glacier, glacier ice waterfall and glacier tongue…all of this at the campsite n.4 which is at 3600m above sea level. Belong to the subalpine cold temperature zone and coniferous forest. How to get there? The only way is by a cable car from Ganheba - Campsite 3. Hailuogou Glacier Forest Park is a National AAAAA Tourist Attraction in Luding County, 290km from Chengdu and 49 to Kangding City. Covering 350 hectares at the east slope of Mount Gongga (highest mountain in Sichuan Province). In one area you can find: glacier icefall drifting vertically, multilayered primitive forest of diverse verdant trees, gorgeous snow mountain peaks, hot springs, red rocks, alpine lakes, sea of clouds, rare animals. It has a quite large altitude difference of over 6000m and it holds 70 hectare of wild forest, 7 vegetation zones and 7 soil zones…it is said that is unique in the world! … and with more than 4880 plant species from subtropical to frigid zones. The closest place to stay is Moxi Ancient Town, where the Tourist Center is also located. Many hotels and restaurants available. I spent 2 full days visiting the Glacier Park and was just enough. The place is huge and there are shuttle busses between campsites (there are 4 campsites + cableway)…I suggest to the take the bus only on the way up, than hike down hill, in this way you can admire the nature and avoid the tourists! #lucaworldtraveler

You must make a strategy before going to Western Sichuan!

I really cried😭 I was so glad that I made a strategy before going to Western Sichuan! Otherwise, I can't even imagine how many pitfalls I would have encountered! Here are some tips I've organized for everyone, hope they can be helpful😘 - - 💯Attractions at a glance 🔎Mount Siguniang I feel that it's just starting to smell like spring, those who like the lush greenery can wait a bit longer, but I think Mount Siguniang is beautiful in all four seasons, each with its unique charm 🔎Yazixi The biggest highlight is chasing the golden sunrise on the mountain, whether it appears mainly depends on the weather, on a lucky day you can see it twice: sunrise and sunset, but you must leave early otherwise you'll be stuck in traffic, like our leader who took us out an hour early otherwise we would have missed it, because the golden sunrise on the mountain lasts for only a few minutes! 🔎Jiuzhaigou My favorite is the scenery of Jiuzhaigou, it's really photogenic, the water is super clear, I suggest wearing white clothes for great photos! Get a photo of a lifetime~ 🔎Dagu Glacier Those who want to see snow-capped mountains must visit Dagu Glacier, the snow mountains here are really spectacular, but the altitude is quite high, remember to bring oxygen bottles, take slow breaths along the way, and wear anti-slip shoes - - 📍Mount Siguniang + Yazixi 4-day itinerary recommendation D1: Chengdu--Mount Siguniang Shuangqiao Valley--Danba D2: Danba--Yala Snow Mountain Scenic Area--Yazixi--Xinduqiao D3: Xinduqiao--Moshishan Park--Muya Monastery--Kangding D4: Kangding--Mugecuo Scenic Area--Chengdu - - 🎈Prevention of altitude sickness ✅Drink Rhodiola at least half a month in advance, at least one week ahead, drink it daily without interruption! It's an oral liquid, also bring ibuprofen, motion sickness medicine, and glucose ✅It's best not to wash your hair or take a shower in the first two days, as bathing can speed up blood circulation, which can easily lead to altitude sickness, girls bring dry shampoo spray, if you're worried about oily hair, spray it on generously! ✅Eat a lighter diet, avoid puffed food, eat more fruits 🍊

Wanggangping, Sichuan

So ideal to view Gongga Mountain, also known as od Mountain of Gongga. We visited this mountain via a tour company ‘Panda Discovery’ and everything was perfect. The cable car is the steepest in Sichuan and you feel the atmosphere around changing as you go higher into the mountain. The bed of clouds made you feel like you were in heaven. #gonggamountain #sichuan #chengdu #chengdutravel #snow Mountain

The main tourist attractions are Mugecuo, Paoma Mountain, Tagong Grassland, Lotus Lake, Xindu Bridge, Jingang Temple, etc. There are mountain village paths, pastoral songs in the evening, and soul-invoking cooking smoke. Walking through the forest, lost in the fallen leaves. Breathe the scent of grass, and reach the idyllic and village in the artistic conception.

No.5 Photography Paradise The plain scenery of Western Sichuan is beautifully blooming, this is the fascinating 'world of light and shadow'. No.6 The village at the end of the sky The strange and magnificent natural landscape, the beautiful and gorgeous ethnic customs, ancient and mysterious. Geography and Climate ·ENVIRONMENT The county has a complex and diverse terrain. The Zheduoshan of the Daxueshan Range divides the county into two parts, east and west, forming strong differences in landforms, climate, production methods, and cultural customs. The eastern part is high mountains and valleys, belonging to the subtropical climate, where the peach blossoms and willows are green, the products are rich, and it is known as 'Kangba Jiangnan'; the western part is a mountainous terrain, belonging to the plateau continental climate, where cattle and sheep are everywhere, and temples are everywhere. It is a typical representative of Tibetan customs. The highest point in the county is 7556 meters (the main peak of 'Tianfu First Peak' Gongga Mountain), the lowest point is 1390 meters (Dadu River), and the county committee and county government are located in Lucheng Town with an altitude of 2560 meters. Due to the complex and diverse terrain and climate, Kangding has the saying 'one mountain has four seasons, ten miles have different days'. History ·HISTORY Kangding was originally a Qiang land, the Shu Han of the Three Kingdoms was called 'Dajianlu', the Tang and Song dynasties belonged to Tubo, the Yuan and Ming dynasties set up Xuanfu Division, the Qing established Kangding Prefecture, and it was known for its 'Tibetan Guard Avenue' and 'Sichuan-Tibet Chong'. Before the liberation, it was the capital of Xikang Province. After the liberation, it was the capital of Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. It is the political, economic, cultural, commercial, information center and transportation hub of the whole state. A 'Kangding Love Song' is famous all over the world. Since the 1950s, the front and north lines of the Sichuan-Tibet Highway have been successively opened. From Kangding, you can go to the seventeen counties in Sichuan except Luding and Tibet by going out of the south gate and folding the mountain. In the past, the small roads into Kangba from the south and north gates were abandoned due to the lack of highways and few pedestrians. In this way, the outside of the pass became a synonym for the war zone west of Zheduo Mountain, and the east of Zheduo Mountain was called the inside of the pass. Over time, it has become a habit. Ethnicity ·NATION Kangding is a multi-ethnic settlement, including Tibetans, Han, Hui, Yi, Qiang, Miao, Hui, Mongols, Tujia, Lisu, Manchu, Yao, Dong, Naxi, Buyi, Bai, Zhuang, Dai and other ethnic groups. Among them, Tibetans and Han account for the largest proportion. When mainland tourists go to Kangding for tourism, they should respect the local customs, especially when they come into contact with Tibetan friends, they should pay attention to the following taboos: when toasting, the guest must first dip a little wine with the ring finger and flick it into the air three times in a row, as a sacrifice to heaven, earth and ancestors, then take a light sip, the host will fill it up in time, drink another sip and fill it up, drink three sips in a row, and when it is filled up for the fourth time, it must be drunk. When drinking butter tea, the host pours the tea, and the guest has to wait for the host to hold it in both hands before he can take it and drink it. When you meet temples, Mani piles, pagodas and other religious facilities on the road, you must go around from left to right. Don't touch other people's heads with your hands. There are really too many~ The editor will write here today Welcome everyone to add If you are interested, I will come up with a more detailed guide later Remember to like it if you like it~

On the way from Moxi Town to Kangding, you can see a large red rock beach, which is spectacular in the middle of the mountain! The red stone here is bright red, and it continues to follow the valley and is magnificent. Every year from October to November, the red leaves of the mountains are very beautiful. The best shooting location here is the location in the red stone forest of Sun Wei and Deng Chao Station in Painting Wall! Traffic: At present, there is no public transportation mode from Hailuogou to Hongshitan. You can only choose to drive by car or chartered. The chartered car takes 150-200 yuan from Moxi and takes the car 40 from Luding. Yuan / person (Moxi - Luding 20 yuan / person, Luding - Kangding 20 yuan / person) Hailuogou is located at the foot of Gongga Xuefeng, known for low-altitude modern glaciers. The glacier plunges down from the valley and is spectacular! Huge ice caves and steep ice bridges make people into the mythical Crystal Palace. Especially the unparalleled big ice waterfall, which is more than 1000 meters wide and about 1100 meters wide, is more than ten times larger than the famous Huangguoshu Waterfall. It is very beautiful. It is a pity that the season is not right to see the legendary spectacle! The process of climbing the glacier feels that the air on the mountain is particularly good! Transportation: [Shuttle] Chengdu Xinnanmen Bus Station has a direct tour bus to Hailuogou, 9 per day

The most beautiful place in Yanzigou is 35 snows connected with red rocks stretching for several kilometers. A red smudge in the snow, with the same fiery red maple leaves, is more conspicuous. Although there are railings to protect, look at the snow seals or know that someone has turned over. The redstone here is a biotype. After trampling, it will die. If you take it out, it will also die and turn black, so don't touch it! So that later people can see this scene.

Red Rock Beach is also the most famous spot in Yanzigou. The red rock beach is about 100 meters away. It is named after the stone red. The stones here are gorgeous rust red regardless of their size. In the sun, these red stones are very dazzling in streams, on hillsides, and in bushes. In fact, the reason why the "Red Rock Beach" stone is red is still a topic that geologists are arguing. Some botanists say that this is because the climate here is suitable for the growth of red mites and attached to the stone. Some biologists say that a lower organism grows on the stone. Some geologists say that the stones here are caused by high mineral content due to special terrain and climate. But in the end, the red stone is only growing in the very clean air of the poster~

Hongshitan, a scenic spot in Kangding Love Song, when this rocky beach came into view, it was full of surprises that the paint was applied, but it was naturally formed without thinking. These marbles scattered in the mountains, especially where the streams flow, are attached to a layer of red algae. Jolly orange algae is rich in carotene and is bright red in the sunlight. Red stone. The reason why Redstone is rare is because the formation conditions are too harsh, not in places where the sun does not reach, and there is no place away from the river. There is no position below 2100 meters above sea level.
