Some hotels also provide paid oxygen, which can help relieve altitude sickness. 💗Other tips: Western Sichuan is a plateau, so be aware of altitude sickness.

2024.4.30 The Western Sichuan Big Loop connects the G318 Sichuan-Tibet Southern Route and the G317 Sichuan-Tibet Northern Route, passing through snow-capped mountains, seas of clouds, grasslands, and lakes along the way. It was an unforgettable graduation trip for me. I was amazed that six completely strangers from different places could get along so well, landing on the same land, embracing the wilderness and the sunshine with laughter and joy. The beginning of the story is always like this, coincidental and unexpected. The end of the story is always like this, flowers bloom on their own, each in different skies. At the end of the journey, we returned to where we started, but I found the answer I was looking for. If the connections between people are threads, meeting each other, our parallel lines intersect and touch, and then they go back to parallel, each heading to their own life's track. I watch your threads getting farther and farther away, and you tell me with your trails, there is no need to chase. I hope I will always remember the blizzard when descending from Daocheng, someone was protecting me by my side; during every moment of altitude sickness, friends took care of me meticulously. On the way to Seda, playing the songs of Xu Wei; beside the streets of the ancient town, dazzled by the jewelry made of various colored jade; scattering the five-colored Lungta into the sky surrounded by snow-capped peaks. I built a Mani stone pile by the babbling stream, and with each gust of wind, I prayed for you all. Lastly, borrowing the words of our team leader, 'Today we took eighteen turns on the heavenly road, wishing us from now on a smooth journey in life.'

Not long after setting off, we entered the plateau snow climate area. Snowflakes fell in droves, covering the earth with a white carpet. The mountains in the distance are covered in white snow, like giants wearing white cloaks. The trees on both sides of the road are also covered with ice and snow, like a fairy tale world wrapped in silver. As the car moved forward, the scenery gradually changed. The snow gradually stopped, the sky began to clear, and the sun shone through the clouds, warm and bright. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the surrounding scenery gradually transitioned from the world of ice and snow to the green of early spring. The grass on the hillside sprouted tender green bud tips, as if covering the earth with a green carpet. The trees also began to sprout new buds, showing their vitality. #自车游 #四川tourism
