Are all guides to western Sichuan the same? Look here!

In the winter when snowflakes are flying, the popular tourist attraction - Siguniang Mountain 🏔️, is known as the Little Switzerland of Western Sichuan. It has four beautiful peaks, among which Yaomei Peak is famous for its steepness. It is suitable for both mountain climbing and snow viewing. ❗️Next, I will share my travel experience! 🙋‍♀️Travel tips for Western Sichuan: 💁‍♀️Route suggestions: 1️⃣For those who are visiting western Sichuan for the first time or are not familiar with the road conditions, please be cautious when driving by yourself🚫; for tourists who are familiar with western Sichuan and have driving experience, you can choose to drive by yourself. The mountain roads in western Sichuan are winding and require superb driving skills in rainy and snowy weather🚗. At the same time, altitude sickness (such as dizziness, hypoxia, chest tightness, shortness of breath, dry eyes, etc.) cannot be ignored. If you feel uncomfortable, be sure to rest in time. Safety first. 2️⃣ Western Sichuan is a vast area, including Ganzi, Aba and other places. Before departure, be sure to make a detailed plan and understand the current situation of the destination. 3️⃣Local butter tea🍵 can help relieve the symptoms of altitude sickness. On the plateau, you also need to control your water intake, reduce the number of baths, and keep warm. 💁Food Guide: 1️⃣Although it is located at a high altitude, there is a wide variety of delicious food in the markets around Siguniang Mountain. In winter, a pot of hot yak soup is definitely a good way to drive away the cold. Food Recommendations 🔸A Diao Milk Tea: A must try in western Sichuan, you will regret it if you miss it😉 🔸Matsutake stewed chicken: rich mushroom aroma, delicious chicken, endless aftertaste 🔸Beef soup pot: authentic local food, original flavor, taste without regrets 🔸Tsampa: One of the four treasures of Tibet, it is soft, sticky and delicious, rich in nutrients and high in calories, which can both satisfy hunger and keep out the cold 🔸Highland barley cake: crispy texture, light highland barley fragrance lingers on the tip of the tongue 💁‍♂️Itinerary planning: D1. Depart from Chengdu - Visit Mount Siguniang - Stay overnight in Wenchuan D2. Depart from Wenchuan - Visit Bipenggou Scenic Area - Stay in Heishui D3. Departure from Heishui - Explore Dagu Glacier - Return to Chengdu 🙇‍♀️Itinerary summary: 1️⃣For solo travelers, joining a tour group is a better choice, but you must keep your eyes open when choosing a travel agency to avoid falling into traps. 2️⃣The beauty of western Sichuan cannot be fully appreciated in one visit, so you can visit it multiple times, especially the picturesque snow scenery in winter, where you will have the opportunity to witness the magnificent sight of the golden mountain in the sun. 3️⃣ Go out more often, enjoy the present moment during the journey, make friends from all over the world, and make every journey an unforgettable chapter in your life. 🌟
