[2025 Kangding Attraction] Travel Guide for Seven-color Sea (Updated Jul)

【Around Chengdu】Weekend Round Trip to Kangding Love Song Tour💕 On the galloping mountains, a drifting cloud... The well-known folk song has made me long for Kangding since I was a child. The galloping mountains mentioned in the song refer to the Mugecuo Scenic Area in Kangding. Pick a weekend to depart from Chengdu, and just go with the flow. 👉Basic Information👈 📍Address: Navigate directly to [Mugecuo Scenic Area] ⏱Opening Hours: 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM (last entry at 4:30 PM) 💰Price: 180 RMB/person, includes adult ticket + sightseeing bus. Similar to most scenic spots in Sichuan, you have to take the sightseeing bus inside; private cars are not allowed. 🚙Transportation: About 4 hours driving from downtown Chengdu. Recommended to spend 4 hours touring. Mugecuo Scenic Area, also known as Kangding Love Song Scenic Area, includes [Yaoshi Boiling Spring], [Seven-Color Lake], [Azalea Gorge], [Fragrant Grassland], [Mugecuo], and [Red Sea Grassland]. 👍👍Recommended Stops [Mugecuo] After getting off the car and checking tickets, the shuttle bus will take you directly to the mountaintop, which is Mugecuo. Mugecuo translates to "Wildman Lake" in Chinese, a huge mountain lake that will make you say wow as soon as you get off. [Seven-Color Lake] A small lake in the canyon with rich layers of colors. The water reflects different colors under the sunlight, combined with various plant layers, making it a perfect photo spot! [Pine Forest on the Hiking Trail] A favorite for Japanese-style forest boys and girls! With sunlight, the photo rate is 💯. 🚫🚫Not Recommended [Red Sea Grassland] You need to take a boat or ride a horse to get there. Just to say, waiting in the cold wind for the boat is long. Horse riding is likely to be a rip-off. There are many photo-worthy grasslands along the way, so if the cost is too high, it’s not necessary. [Yaoshi Boiling Spring] There are several natural springs here, nurturing a warm pool, but... now it has developed into a crowded foot-soaking spot... If you are tired and want to relax, it’s okay, but it feels a bit strange. ⚠️⚠️Tibetan Area Precautions! ① Don’t be overconfident about your health; altitude sickness is really uncomfortable. If worried, buy inflatable oxygen at the hospital on the first day. Bottled oxygen from street vendors is basically useless. ② Many activities like horse riding can easily be scams! Be very careful! ③ Huge temperature differences, keep warm! Keep warm! Keep warm! ④ Strong sunlight, use sun protection! Use sun protection! Use sun protection! ⑤ Driving in western Sichuan has complex road conditions, take breaks. ———————— About me: Born in 【Chongqing】, Grew up in 【Australia】, Registered in 【Shanghai】, Settled in 【Foshan】, Working in 【Chengdu】 An architectural designer 🐶.

Tucked away in the scenic Kangding area, Qisehai is a lake that changes color with the light and weather—genuinely breathtaking! On clear mornings, the water mirrors the sky like glass; by dusk, the shimmering ripples are pure magic. 📸✨ 🧥 Be prepared for temperature swings! I brought a down jacket and was glad I did—while you can still wear pretty outfits for photos, the wind chill can sneak up on you. 👀 Local sellers at the entrance may exaggerate the cold to get you to buy socks or coats. If it’s a sunny day, it’s actually very pleasant and not too cold. 🌿 There’s a small meadow by the lake—perfect for a peaceful picnic or just soaking in the beauty. You can watch ‘live’ performance at designated time there as well. 📷 Honestly, one of the most photogenic places I’ve been in Kangding! ⸻ #summervacay #七色海 #川西旅行 #KangdingTravel #QisehaiLake #HiddenGemChina #ChinaNatureLovers #LakeViews #PhotographySpots #MountainEscape #七色海真的美

If you're tired of the busy city life, why not take a solo trip to the Seven-Colored Sea like I did, and have a dialogue between your soul and nature.👼 ☀️When the first ray of sunlight shines on this mysterious sea, the colorful surface seems to come to life, sparkling and breathtakingly beautiful. I walked along the shore, feeling the sea breeze gently caress my face, listening to the sound of waves crashing against the rocks, and a sense of indescribable peace and tranquility welled up in my heart.🍃 Every frame of the Seven-Colored Sea's scenery is mesmerizing, making one forget the troubles of the world. In this sea, I seemed to have found my inner home, becoming one with nature. I closed my eyes, took a deep breath of the fresh air, and felt the blessings and gifts of nature.🌊 This mysterious and beautiful sea has brought me inner peace and strength, and has allowed me to rediscover myself. It will become an unforgettable memory in my life.

Western Sichuan is really too beautiful. Mugecuo is indeed a great place to relax; it feels like all the fatigue accumulated in the city has dissipated in an instant. Along the way, I also met a few fellow travelers. They are all nice people, peers, and we have a lot in common to talk about. We took lots of photos together. I must say, everyone took photos that looked better than the last. The sisters in our group are all very beautiful, and everyone said they took the photos of their lives here. The scenery here is something I'll probably never forget in my lifetime!

You have to chase the snow in winter Go to western Sichuan to feel the natural scenery See the snow-capped mountains in winter Leave no regrets in this winter It was also my first time to go to Mugecuo in winter I was lucky enough to meet the first snow in 2024 It was also the first heavy snow in western Sichuan The snowy western Sichuan was really beautiful Every place made people unable to take their eyes away and couldn't help but record so many beautiful things Scenic spots: Kangding Love Song (Mugecuo) Scenic Area Address: Wangmu Village, Yala Township, Kangding City, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Transportation: Self-driving from Chengdu for about 3 hours (highway throughout the journey) Play route: Visitor Center-Holy Lake Parking Lot [Mugecuo]-Lover's Beach-Medicine Pool-Seven Colors-Visitor Center (Exit) Recommended play method: The way to play in the scenic area is very simple. Take a sightseeing bus to the deepest Mugecuo Lake, and then go down one stop at a time, and get on the bus at the designated point of each scenic spot! The total scenic area is very large, and it is not reasonable to check in at every scenic spot. I suggest that you just play and take pictures at these 3 highlights! Mugecuo Also known as the Wild Man Sea, it looks like a blue sea in summer, and it slowly freezes in winter. I heard that you can see blue ice, but I didn’t see it this time! But I personally prefer the cabins here on Lover’s Beach. Taking pictures after the snow seems like being in Xinjiang! Yam Pool Boiling Spring There is a station here. My shoes were wet by the snow, so I just soaked my feet here. This is a natural hot spring. Soaking in the hot spring on a snowy day, enjoying the snow-capped mountains and streams, is comfortable and refreshing~ Seven-Colored Sea The crescent-shaped lake really feels like Xinjiang when it snows. The lake is half frozen, and the trees on the mountain are piled with snow, which really looks like Christmas trees. It’s so beautiful! This is also the place where we stayed the longest. We quietly watched the snowflakes falling on the lake. The picture is really beautiful! Friendly reminder: Mugecuo is as high as 3,780 meters above sea level. Be sure to prevent altitude sickness and don’t run or jump. Mugecuo is mainly for hiking. It is best to wear shoes that are convenient for hiking, such as hiking shoes/boots. Be sure to check the weather forecast before coming, especially for those who want to chase snow. If the weather forecast says it will snow in Kangding, it will rain on the mountain 🌧️!! The scenery when it snows is really amazing~ If it doesn't snow, there is really nothing to see. Although the evaluation of Mugecuo is controversial, some people think it is not worth it, and some people think it is beautiful! In summary, the weather is still the main reason!

Seven-color sea, a dream place! The altitude of the Kangding Love Song Scenic Area is between 2600-3780 meters. When you get off the car and enter the scenic spot, you will feel the cool autumn. Although the season is summer, you need to wear a jacket here. The right temperature makes you feel refreshed. The scenic area is very large, and there are different landscapes at different altitudes. Every attraction has made us linger for a long time. One of the attractions is called the Seven-Color Sea. This scenic spot is lush and has a high negative ion content. It feels refreshing. The seven sea is a mountain lake, located in the middle of Kangding Love Song Scenic Area. It is called the Seven Color Sea because it is rich in layers and colors in different seasons and light. Summer is different. Green, autumn is the dream color of red, yellow, orange and purple, and winter is the fairy tale world covered by snow and ice. The seven-sea sea water in the morning and evening is the most calm, reflecting the green hills and the white clouds and blue sky. Just like the dream paradise that God has drawn up with imagination, walking along the lakeshore, there is a feeling of people swimming in the middle of the painting. Stand on the shore and enjoy the distant mountains and clouds and clouds, and forget it. The beauty of seven seas cannot be expressed in simple language, and cameras and mobile phones can only record one-tenth of its beauty. If all the beauty in the world is like the seven-color sea, it will be a beautiful thing if it is not carved. The seven-color sea is in the shape of a crescent in the mountains. The water area is about 20 hectares and the deepest is more than ten meters. The biggest feature of this lake is the melting lake water and hot spring water. The seven-color sea lake is clear, and the colorful pictures that appear after the shore forests and blue sky and white clouds do not lose Jiuzhaigou. says that water is the most beautiful scenery in the world, but if there is no embellishment of the surrounding vegetation, the seven-color sea is an extremely ordinary woman. sighs that nature's ingenuity has lifted the plateau and created such a rich variety of plants. This piece of land above 3,000 meters above sea level is so fascinating and beautiful. Shuimu is in the mountains and the sky, forgetting the way to return to the sun.

The Qi Se Sea is 2,600 meters above sea level and is a plateau lake where cold springs and hot springs blend together. The lake surface is crescent-shaped, with a water depth of more than 20 meters. The lake is crystal clear, surrounded by lakeside forest meadows, and the environment is quiet. The lake changes with the sun, and the color changes in seven colors. The seven-color sea is named. There are several colors in your memory sea, the blue of the deep sea or the green of the sea. When you come to the seven-color sea of Kangding love song, you will find that the color of the sea is so rich, and it changes with the weather, time and season. When the rising sun rises, Yu Hui dyes the lake into a golden color; when the sky is clear, the lake reflects the blue sky and white clouds, and turns into blue and white; when the sunset is over the mountains, the surrounding mountains block all the light, and the lake becomes dark again. I came to Kangding Love Song Mugecuo, dressed in a Tibetan gown, and said "Zhasidler" with the Tibetans passing by, or sitting on the grass and learning two toasts with the teachers of Kangba University. ...

The sun has seven colors of light, and Kangding has seven colors of sea. The Seven Colors Sea is the first landscape in the Mugecuo Scenic Area. The crescent-shaped seven-color sea is like a colorful lens, set between the forest and the lawn. A hundred birds in the jungle, light songs and dances, the lakeshore lawn is quiet and elegant, the lake is watery and elegant, the live fish swims in the bottom of the pebble, and the boat rides through the fog, and the lake and mountains are all in sight. Kangding I have been there twice. The first time I took a long-distance bus from Chengdu for 8 hours, now it takes only 4 hours from Chengdu to Kangding. The mysterious Kangding love song is not mysterious to many people at once. The beauty of Kangding love songs is within reach of many people. Of course, you can also fly from Chengdu to Kangding, less than an hour of flight time. Although Kangding is only four hours away from Chengdu, the altitude here is close to 4,000 meters. It is completely different from the Tibetan culture of Chengdu Shuhan culture. The snow-capped mountains and plateau lakes are fluttering, the songs are lingering, and the beautiful scenery is beautiful. Make people hang around. The lake of seven seas reflects the reflection of snow-capped mountains and blue sky and white clouds. There is a suffocating beauty. In an instant, my heart has become incomparably clear. Moreover, there are many local Tibetans singing in the lake. The bright, clear, original songs bring people into a world close to the ethereal.

There are several colors in your memory sea, the blue of the deep sea or the green of the sea. When you come to the seven-color sea of Kangding love song, you will find that the color of the sea is so rich, and it changes with the weather, time and season.
