Sunglasses + SPF50 + sunscreen are essential; large temperature difference between day and night, layer down jacket + windbreaker, carry rain gear. 3⃣ Environmental protection and safety: No smoking, no littering, slippery boardwalks require caution, feeding animals or stepping on travertine pools is prohibited. 4⃣ Pitfall avoidance: Be cautious buying Tibetan souvenirs (common hard sell), expensive dining in the scenic area with undercooked rice; bringing your own food is more cost-effective. 🍴Food Recommendations Tibetan flavors: Butter tea, tsampa, yak meat hotpot, highland barley wine. Plateau snacks: Potato tsampa, sauerkraut noodles, butter bread; more restaurant options in Songpan County. 📅Seasonal Activities Autumn (September-October): Colorful forests and turquoise pools complement each other, golden period for photography. Winter (December-March): Blue ice spectacle + snow scenes, fewer visitors and half-price tickets, but some areas closed. Summer (May-August): Waterfalls at their fullest, a summer resort, beware of rainy season landslides. 💡Tips Early start to avoid crowds: First entry at 7:30, enjoy the colorful pools alone, take the cableway up and walk down to save energy. Accommodation options: Budget hotels in Songpan County (100-200 RMB/night) or high-end lodges near the scenic area. Packing list: Non-slip shoes, power bank (cold drains battery fast), moisturizing skincare, common medicines.
