Everywhere is a view! I was amazed by my trip to Majiagou in November
Everywhere is a view! I was amazed by my trip to Majiagou in November. Before going, I chose between Songpinggou and Majiagou, and finally chose Majiagou. I didn't expect everything to be perfect! Although some parts are like Bipenggou, the valley is much wider when you climb up, and it's not inferior to the big view, really few people and beautiful scenery!
Time: November 2-3, 2023
Number of people: 2
Travel mode: Self-driving
One-way duration: 5 and a half hours (excluding sightseeing time on the road)
Cost: 682 yuan (fuel and toll fees 368+ accommodation 109+ scenic spot 140+ meals 65)
We set off from Chengdu at 4 am and arrived at Majiagou at 12 noon. Detailed strategy as follows:
Scenic spot basic information:
Address: Navigate to "Aba Xiaojin County Majiagou Tourist Center"
Cost: Sanitation cleaning fee 30+ sightseeing car 30+ parking fee 20/vehicle
Altitude: 3700 meters (sightseeing car drop-off point)-3900 meters (Qumei Cuo, most people turn back at this high point)-4250 meters (Dawa Yongcuo (Moon Lake), a few advanced players turn back at this high point)
Tour time (one way, uphill all the way): 7 km road (sightseeing car) 15 minutes + 3.7 km wooden plank road 2 hours (to Qumei Cuo) + 1.8 km dirt road (Qumei Cuo to Moon Lake) 1 and a half hours
Tour and highlights:
Yi Ang Qu Cuo: The first sea you slowly ascend to. There are snow-capped mountains, colorful forests, wooden houses, meadows, swings, and the dead tree in the middle of the sea is very special
Majiagou Yun Cuo: A slightly steeper climb to the colorful pool. Surrounded by colorful forests, with snow-capped mountains behind
Qiong Ruo Cuo Mu: Steep continuous steps up, it will be very panting to climb up, but don't turn back, up is a very open pass, only to hear a "wow" sound, below is Qiong Ruo Cuo Mu wetland, the farther sea is Qumei Cuo, beautiful to incoherence
Qumei Cuo: Downhill through Qiong Ruo Cuo Mu, the wooden plank road becomes a stone road, the large sea in front of you is very beautiful, and there are swings!
Dogs can be brought, Qumei Cuo must turn back at 16 o'clock, and it takes 40 minutes to go down the mountain
Points to note:
1 Sun protection/clothing: The weather forecast for the day was cloudy to light rain, but it was actually sunny. It was colder and sunnier after entering the ditch. It is recommended to bring a hat and wear a thin down jacket/thick storm jacket that can be taken off
2 Food and beverage: There is no food provided in the tourist center and the scenic area (at least not when we went during the week), bring dry food to prevent hunger
Accommodation: There is no accommodation in the scenic area, we stayed in Shuanghekou Village, a few minutes drive
4 Travel: If you want to go to Moon Lake, be sure to arrive at the scenic spot early, otherwise there will not be enough time
5 Signal: There is no signal in the ditch, beware of drones falling and not being found
Complaints: Sightseeing car
1 Majiagou's current reception capacity is limited, there are only two sightseeing cars, which are older buses, with limited seats, and people have to wait to be full before they leave (can stand)
2 We arrived at 12 noon, and it was almost 13 o'clock before we set off into the ditch; the return trip was said to be the last bus at 17 o'clock, and it was not until 17:30 that we were sent out of the ditch
Going to Majiagou to see the colorful forest at the end of October and the beginning of November is very beautiful. If you miss it, you must go once next year. It is still relatively primitive. There were not many people when we went during the week, basically retired ladies and uncles. Those with average physical strength must go to Qumei Cuo!
Magagou is the first stop. The weather was good that day and there was a beautiful scenery. The overall scenery is similar to that of Bipenggou, but the development here is relatively late, and the number of tourists is relatively small, so it is not crowded when going. The most important thing is not where to go, but who to go with.
This scenic spot called Majiagou is really beautiful. The various scenery is very intoxicating. All tourists here have a feeling of walking into the paradise, because the scenic spot is really beautiful and indescribable.
The road conditions are extremely poor, the landslide mudslides fly over the stone... I advise everyone to choose carefully, from Chengdu to Majiagou, drive for 12 hours, and still without traffic jams... will not come again for the second time
After arriving at Majiagou, find a local inn to stay. I have been there 3 times, and in contrast, I still think Zhang Junzi Inn is the most suitable. It is a local simple farmhouse inn. The elderly are Tibetans. They are very kind to people. Don’t worry about being high. The accommodation is clean and cheap. The food is also very Tibetan. The green vegetables grown by my own family have to say a good word for them here, because when I lived there, There is no problem of worrying about the cost, and it is very comfortable to live and eat. You can find it on the map.
玛嘉沟,地处四川阿坝州小金县两河乡大板村境内,是一处刚刚开始开发还不为人所知的秘境,游客很少,适合喜欢户外徒步登山的人前往。游览玛嘉沟,前一天晚上必须住在沟口的藏民民宿,价格不贵,包早餐和晚餐,第二天坐车去沟口,门票20+往返车费30。到了沟口开始徒步,先是砂石路和土路,不过不难走,走了一段就有木栈道,一路有溪流,湖泊,森林和雪山,挺漂亮的,又安静,没有大妈,没有熙熙攘攘的团队,海拔高度在3100——3900米,我去的前几天下大雪,徒步当天天气很好,但是到后半程积雪太深,看不到路径了,只能回头,所以只走了一部分,听说秋季的玛嘉沟是最漂亮的。
环境非常优美,就是有一点点冷,要去的记得多穿衣服
有人喜欢用笔和纸留下它的美,而我喜欢用镜头记录每一个瞬间,记录生活中的点点滴滴,将这些汇成我们精彩的人生。无论是清晨或者黄昏,针叶林沐浴在金色的阳光下,熠熠生辉,仿如经典的俄罗斯油画再现人间。
