Glaciers and seas of flowers, these are the places where the summer of Western Sichuan becomes legendary

If landscapes had ranks, the summer scenery of Genie would definitely be at the king level. Self-driving around Genie, I really couldn't stop exclaiming 'wow' all the way. Snow mountains, glaciers, grasslands, seas of flowers, streams, forests, Even for Western Sichuan, it's a rare sight to behold. It's absolutely stunning, everywhere you look there's beautiful scenery. This journey is like the dreamy scenes straight out of a Miyazaki manga. What's even more amazing is that Even during the peak travel season of summer in Western Sichuan, there are few tourists here. This scenic route with few people and no pitfalls is five-star. If you miss it this summer, you really have to wait another year. 🚘【Travel Suggestions】 D1: Chengdu-Kangding-S434-Yuzixi-Xinduqiao D2: Xinduqiao-Yajiang-Tianlu 18 Bends-Litang D3: Litang-Tiejiangshan-Wild Hot Springs-Xiazetong D4: Xiazetong-Eye of Genie-Lenggu Temple-Zebavillage D5: Zebavillage-Hangda Campsite-Gemuvillage-Batang D6: Batang-Cuopugou-Sister Lakes-Maoya Grassland-Litang D7: Litang-Chengdu 📷【Photo Check-in Spots Recommendation】 1⃣Yuzixi Sunset You must watch a sunset at Yuzixi, surrounded by 360° snow mountains, or you can replace it with a visit to Yunrao Yala. 2⃣Litang Changqingchun Ke'er Monastery Back Mountain From the back mountain, you can overlook the entire county town, and you must watch a sunset there, it's super beautiful. 3⃣️Xiazetong Village Xiazetong is Ding Zhen's hometown, halfway up the mountain there are cabins facing the sacred mountain and grasslands full of wildflowers, where you can overlook the entire village, and there's a wild hot spring by the bridge at the village entrance. 4⃣️Eye of Genie The Eye of Genie is beautiful from an aerial view, opposite is the starting point of the Genie C Line trek, and the grasslands here are full of golden wildflowers. 5⃣️Zebavillage (South Line Essence) Zebavillage faces the snow mountain, and the back mountain grassland has a solitary tree, it's an incomparably beautiful sight, and you can also ride a local's motorcycle to the foot of the Genie main peak glacier. 6⃣️Gemuvillage A stunning secret valley hidden in the mountains, completely surrounded by a sea of flowers, it's not an exaggeration to call it a paradise on earth, regret not staying here for a night. 7⃣️Cuopugou The water is super clear and can be compared to Jiuzhaigou, and the flowers by the main lake are also very beautiful, although the ticket is a bit expensive. 8⃣️Sister Lakes A free attraction on Route 318, the photo spot is on the mid-mountain viewing platform. 9⃣️Maoya Grassland The sea of flowers stretches for tens of kilometers, a true feast of flowers, the only downside is that the roadside is fenced off, so you can only enjoy it from the periphery. 🔖Tips: 1.
