"Be brave, Western Sichuan is not far away."

🏔️ Western Sichuan 3-day 2-night itinerary, small loop, "Be brave, Western Sichuan is not far away." ⭐ About the small group: This time we chose an 8-person group. Since all the teammates were our own people, there were no problems with the itinerary. The driver was also enthusiastic. Before going, I heard that it was a hardship group and was a little worried, but it didn't seem to be too hard (except for the uncontrollable altitude sickness). The food was okay, especially the accommodation! Very good! Getting up early was okay (departure at 7:30, not much different from going to work). I think it's totally worth it. ⭐ About the itinerary: Day 1: Cat Nose Ridge Viewing Platform → Mount Siguniang Day 2: Yala Snow Mountain → Moshi Park → Tagong Tibetan Robe Trip Moments → Gulong Village Day 3: Gedilamu → Yuzixi ⭐ About preparation: I took Rhodiola a week in advance (not very useful), power bank, sunglasses, motion sickness medicine, cold medicine, montmorillonite powder (very necessary, my first reaction to altitude sickness is diarrhea), acetazolamide (super useful❗), oxygen tank ⭐ About clothing: The temperature difference between morning and evening is huge. I could wear five pieces in the morning, and by noon I wanted to wear short sleeves. Be sure to bring clothes that are easy to put on and take off, so you can add or remove layers easily. A plush hat is a must❗❗ The wind will worsen altitude sickness, and those in the group who wore baseball caps had to borrow plush hats later. ⭐ About altitude sickness: The degree of altitude sickness varied among the 8 people, and those who exercised regularly were the least affected. Be sure not to catch a cold! I didn't know what wind I caught on the second day, and I immediately had altitude sickness and a fever at night. I went to the hospital and inhaled oxygen, and the fever subsided immediately. ❗ Don't hold on, inhale oxygen if needed! Go to the hospital if needed! Acetazolamide is really a miracle drug. I didn't feel uncomfortable even when my blood oxygen level was 76. ⭐ About attractions: 📍 Mount Siguniang: It's best to enter before noon. It gets very cold around 4 or 5 pm, and the lighting is not good for taking photos. 📍 Yala Snow Mountain: It's the most beautiful! Few people, great for taking photos, and the sightseeing bus drivers will enthusiastically recommend photo spots. However, you can only ride a horse to the innermost lake, which is not very user-friendly. 📍 Moshi Park: There is only one area for taking photos, and you have to walk a long way to get there and back. I walked so long that I got altitude sickness from exhaustion. 😑 📍 Gedilamu/Yuzixi: If you're not going to see the golden mountain at sunset, you can choose either one. I recommend Gedilamu, as there are more photo spots. This was a trip that was decided in just ten minutes. When you're young, you have to be crazy. We walked the 318 this time, and we'll definitely see Tibet next year!
