26 years old and not going home for the New Year, I'm off to Western Sichuan to find my freedom.

Going home for the New Year often comes with a lot of "energy consumption," with topics of conversation always revolving around work, income, marriage, etc. The nagging of parents and the superficial concern of relatives make what should be a joyful holiday full of anxiety and irritability. This year, it's time to live for yourself, to pursue your freedom, to go to Western Sichuan to enjoy the magnificent mountains and snow, to feel the fresh breeze, and to be reborn in the arms of nature. 🌈 Western Sichuan New Year Snow Guide ❄️ Jiuzhaigou: Lakes, trails, snow forests... every place is a beautiful scenery, and every step is unforgettable. ❄️ Bipenggou: From streams and lakes to alpine meadows, to forest waterfalls and strange peaks and rocks, every inch of land is covered with snow, both cold and spectacular. ❄️ Mount Siguniang: The snow-capped mountains are close at hand, surrounded by thick white snow, and the sun shines on the top of the mountain, and the view of the golden mountain is even more beautiful. ❄️ Dagu Glacier: The closest glacier to the city, where you can see natural landscapes such as glaciers, snow-capped mountains, snow forests, and lakes. ❄️ Hailuogou: Looking around, a silver-white world, glaciers, snow basins, ice waterfalls, ice tongues, rime and other natural wonders can be seen here. Lenggacuo: At the foot of a 4,700-meter-high mountain, the healing lake of blue is as beautiful as the blue ice of Lake Baikal abroad. 🌈 Western Sichuan Travel Route Recommendations 📍 Western Sichuan 3-Day Tour D1: Depart from Chengdu, head to Mount Siguniang, and stay overnight in Mount Siguniang Town.
