2025 Sichuan Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in February)

Winter travel in Sichuan and Tibet is an unforgettable experience, but it also requires some preparation and precautions. In the Sichuan-Tibet region, the winter weather is harsh, the roads may be icy, and there may even be blizzards. Here are some suggestions and precautions: 1. Prepare sufficient winter equipment: including warm clothing, windproof and waterproof jackets and pants, anti-skid shoes, gloves, hats, scarves, etc. Ensure that the clothes are warm and dry. 2. Choose transportation carefully: If you plan to drive or take a bus, be sure to understand the road conditions and weather. In winter, the road conditions may be very difficult, especially in high-altitude areas. Consider hiring a local experienced driver or joining a tour group led by a senior driver. 3. Prevention of altitude sickness: The altitude in the Sichuan-Tibet region is high, and winter is more likely to cause altitude sickness. It is recommended to adapt for at least one or two days before going, and you can also ask the doctor for advice on preventing and relieving altitude sickness. 4. Ensure food and accommodation safety: Choose reliable accommodation and catering services. In high-altitude areas, it is very important to find a warm place to stay. 5. Respect local culture and traditions: The Sichuan-Tibet region has a rich culture and tradition, understand and respect the local religious beliefs and customs. The most important thing is to do a detailed investigation and planning before traveling to the Sichuan-Tibet region in winter, to ensure safety and comfort

Zhaga Waterfall in Mounigou Valley - Mounigou Valley, located to the west of Songpan Ancient Town, Songpan. Among the most beautiful waterfalls, Zhaga Waterfall feels like the most supernatural one.

Exploring the Taoist culture on Qingcheng Mountain is considered as the birthplace of Taoism and one of the most important Taoist centers in China. It can be a long hike up to the top but you pass by beautiful lakes, waterfalls and plenty of nature. For the physically less active there is also a chance to pay for a cable car ride but if you have the ability to walk, I highly recommend it. You can spend a full day here and just let all your thoughts fade, refresh and re energize yourself. There are food opportunities along the way and also refreshments stops. For sure you won't get bored! #urbanexplorer#qingmingtravel#roadtrip

Jiuzhaigou is a famous scenic area located in Zhangzha Town, Jiuzhaigou County, Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province. It is named after the nine Tibetan villages within the valley, though only three of these villages are currently inhabited. The valley is filled with pristine forests and numerous lakes of varying sizes, offering unique scenery throughout the four seasons. Known as a "beautiful fairytale world," Jiuzhaigou is home to diverse flora and fauna, including rare wildlife like giant pandas. Its snow-capped peaks, untouched forests, crystal-clear lakes, Tibetan villages, and traditional cultural elements create a distinctive cultural and natural landscape. Key areas within the valley include Shuzheng Valley and Zechawa Valley. Jiuzhaigou's natural beauty and cultural charm complement each other, with each season offering unique scenery. The vibrant lakes and reflections of snow-capped mountains in autumn and winter are particularly captivating, providing visitors with a poetic and picturesque experience. The Nuorilang Waterfall is one of Jiuzhaigou's most famous landmarks, located in the Rize Valley section. It is one of Sichuan's largest waterfalls, standing at an altitude of 2,365 meters, with a width of 270 meters and a height of 24.5 meters. As one of China's major travertine waterfalls and the widest waterfall in the country, it presents a magnificent natural spectacle. Since Jiuzhaigou's opening hours are typically from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, a two-day itinerary is recommended to fully experience the beauty and attractions of the area. Considering the vast size of Jiuzhaigou, with its widely distributed lakes, waterfalls, forests, and Tibetan villages, a one-day visit may not allow for a comprehensive tour. It’s indeed a bit regretful not to have explored all the scenic spots in Jiuzhaigou this time, especially given its breathtaking beauty and the unique charm of each site. However, this leaves something to look forward to for the next visit! #travelanywhere #jiuzhaigou #travelchina #travel #china

This UNESCO World Heritage Site, often referred to as “Fairy Land on Earth,” is renowned for its stunning natural beauty, including colorful lakes, snow-capped mountains, lush valleys, and pristine forests. The name “Huanglong,” meaning “Yellow Dragon,” is derived from the area’s unique travertine formations that resemble a golden dragon winding through the valley. Upon arriving at Huanglong, the first thing that strikes you is the vibrant palette of colors. The Five Color Ponds, a series of terraced, mineral-rich pools, shimmer in shades of turquoise, green, yellow, and blue. These ponds are a photographer’s dream, offering countless opportunities to capture their surreal beauty against the backdrop of towering mountains.

The Mirror Ponds, true to their name, reflect the surrounding scenery with crystal clarity, adding to the park’s magical atmosphere.

This old hotpot restaurant in the community has a simple environment, but the taste is excellent and attracts a large number of diners every day. This old Chongqing-style hotpot restaurant is always crowded with customers during meal times. Most of the customers here are residents from the surrounding area, and many of them are repeat customers. Their hotpot base is spicy and rich, the ingredients are fresh, and the price-performance ratio is high, so their business is naturally booming. 🔥Their soup base is unique, with authentic Chongqing flavor, plenty of butter, and a fragrant aroma. It is recommended to add some duck blood. The more it is cooked, the more fragrant it becomes, and the more you eat it, the spicier it becomes, making you unable to stop. 🔥Fresh ingredients such as tripe, duck intestines, and yellow throat are all delivered fresh to the store every day. They have a crisp taste and complement the taste of the pot base. 🔥Braised dishes are also a must for hot pot, such as the soft and chewy braised pork intestines, the fragrant braised chicken feet, and the braised tendons rich in collagen. Put them in a red pot and cook them for a while, which makes them more fragrant and spicy. 🔥Freshly cut beef, focusing on freshness, with a variety of flavors, especially the signature spicy beef, each piece of beef is covered with chili peppers and is very spicy.

Here, I found the romance and tranquility unique to winter. 🗺️ About the attraction: Lixiao Road, known as Sichuan's own "Duku Highway," is like a mysterious path leading to a hidden paradise. Here, nature generously displays all its gifts—snow-capped mountains, forests, valleys, meadows, glaciers, and more. By the snow-capped lakes and among the meadows and streams, cattle and horses leisurely graze, creating vivid and lively scenes that make people feel relaxed and happy, like being in a paradise. 🏔️ On both sides of the road are magnificent landscapes surrounded by white snow and majestic snow-capped mountains, with lush lawns and crystal-clear, emerald-green streams in the middle, like a carefully crafted palette by nature, with perfectly matched colors and no abruptness. The small wooden houses and bridges scattered among them give people the illusion of being in Kanas, Xinjiang, once again deeply shocked by the breathtaking beauty of nature. 🚌 🏔️ —Transportation Guide— Location 📍: Daeup Pastoral Village 🧊 Tips: The temperature difference between day and night is huge here, so be sure to bring enough warm clothes to avoid letting the cold affect your pleasant travel mood. It has been snowing recently, so it is recommended to travel during off-peak times to avoid crowded people, so you can fully enjoy a quieter and purer snowy scenery. You can bring some food and water to replenish energy in time during the journey, so as to always maintain the best state for playing.
