It’s not Switzerland, it’s the summer in western Sichuan

Western Sichuan is a perfect blend of nature and culture. The mountains and rivers here are majestic, the lakes are clear, and the meadows are endless, like a canvas spread out on the earth; the temples here are solemn, the folk customs are splendid, and the light of faith shines through the years. It is the poetry and distance that the soul yearns for. Traffic tips: Self-driving: Starting from Chengdu, it is recommended to take Chengya Expressway or Yakang Expressway. You can take National Highway 318 to Daocheng Yading. The scenery along the way is beautiful, but the road conditions are complicated in some sections, so you need to have skilled driving skills and check the vehicle in advance. Public transportation: There are direct buses from Chengdu Xinnanmen Bus Station and Chaidianzi Bus Station to various places in western Sichuan. After arriving, you can transfer to a local minivan to the scenic spot. Group tour: suitable for tourists who don’t want to worry about transportation and accommodation. Professional tour leaders and detailed route planning allow you to travel without worries. Recommended attractions: Daocheng Yading: Known as "the last pure land on the blue planet", it is a place where snow-capped mountains, meadows and lakes complement each other. Seda: famous for its red monks' houses all over the mountains and its strong religious atmosphere. It is recommended to visit Larung Gar Buddhist Academy to experience the spiritual life of lamas and nuns. · Siguniang Mountain: It is known as the "Little Switzerland of Western Sichuan". Shuangqiaogou is suitable for a relaxing tour, Changpinggou is a paradise for hiking enthusiasts, and Haizigou is famous for its high mountain lakes. Xinduqiao: Known as the "Photography Paradise", with its winding streams, golden cypress trees, rolling mountains and Tibetan villages, every shot you take will turn out to be a masterpiece.
