I found my treasure village in Xinduqiao!!

✨In the vast expanse of western Sichuan, there lies a place known as the "photographer's paradise"—Xinduqiao. Here, you can find not only magnificent natural scenery but also rich Tibetan culture. It is a holy land in the hearts of every traveler and photography enthusiast.🏞️ 📍【Highlights】 The charm of Xinduqiao lies in its changing scenery throughout the four seasons. In spring, everything comes back to life, and wildflowers bloom everywhere; in summer, the grass is lush and green, and herds of cattle and sheep roam; in autumn, the golden leaves contrast with the blue sky and white clouds, creating a breathtaking beauty; in winter, the landscape is covered in snow, serene and mysterious.🌄 📸【Photography Tips】 1. The Play of Light and Shadow: Early morning or late afternoon, when the light is soft, is the best time for shooting. Don't miss the golden sunlight on Gongga Snow Mountain; it's a stunning picture. 2. Cultural Scenes: Dive into Tibetan villages and capture the daily life of the locals. Every smiling face is the most authentic scenery. 3. Natural Landscapes: Yala Mountain, Tagong Grassland, and Mugecuo Lake are all perfect spots for photography. 🍽️【Food Recommendations】 1. Tibetan Hot Pot: On a cold night, gather around a stove and enjoy a steaming Tibetan hot pot. It's an essential part of experiencing local life. 2. Tsampa: This traditional Tibetan food made from barley flour has a unique taste and is worth trying. 3. Butter Tea: A hot cup of butter tea not only warms you up but also lets you savor the rich culture of Tibet. 🚗【Transportation Tips】 - Self-Drive: Depart from Chengdu, passing through Ya'an and Kangding, enjoying the beautiful scenery of western Sichuan along the way. It takes about 5-6 hours. - Public Transportation: You can first take a train or plane to Chengdu, then transfer to a long-distance bus to Kangding, and finally take a local minibus or hire a car to Xinduqiao. 🌈【Tips】 - Xinduqiao is at a high altitude, so be mindful of altitude sickness. Exercise moderately and stay hydrated. - Respect local culture and customs, protect the environment, and leave no trash behind. Take away beautiful memories. Xinduqiao, a place you won't want to leave once you arrive. Its beauty is worth exploring in person. Bring your camera and embark on an impromptu trip!✈️

Sichuan West｜"The sunset snow mountain, the freedom and romance that comes to your face"

This week, there was heavy snow in western Sichuan. I drove through the S434 provincial road, and the snow mountain at sunset was like a oil painting with a strong movie atmosphere. The freedom and romance that comes to your face‼️ There are too many beautiful ⛰️check-in points in winter in western Sichuan. ✔️Rainbow Road It's super romantic, the rainbow road leading to the snow mountain. There are few people this season, you can take pictures at the temporary stop in the middle, it's like a midnight movie after sunset🎬 ✔️Sequka Village This is a village under the snow mountain that I accidentally passed by. The snow-capped mountain has already accumulated thick snow, which is extremely shocking. ✔️Balang Shengdu A viewing platform where you can see Yala and Gongga at the same time, with an altitude of 4300, you must wait here for the sunrise. ✔️Gunong Village The winter in Gunong Village is too romantic. Under the Yala Snow Mountain, there is a clear blue stream. The stream is full of snow, some of which have frozen, like a fairyland! 🚗Self-driving Chengdu-Kangding-Xinduqiao (5h drive) The whole journey is high-speed➕national road, the road conditions are very good, girls drive on weekends, you must choose a safe and easy-to-drive car~ 🌟Snow Mountain Circuit Recommendation🌟 day1⃣️：Chengdu-Kangding-434 National Road-Honghaizi-Sidingcuo-Xinduqiao day2⃣️：Xinduqiao-Eyicun-Siye Yala-Gunong Village-Balang Shengdu-Tagong-Stay in Bamei or Xinduqiao day3⃣️：Tagong-Muya Temple-Gedilam-Kangding-Chengdu (you can stay in Bamei, or return to Chengdu from 434)

How to have fun in Western Sichuan in winter?

1. Go ice skating on various lakes, such as the wild horse sea of Zhe Duo Mountain, the Sting Lake of Kangding Airport, the Lake of Black Stone City, the seven mountains and seven lakes of Tagong Grassland, it's really great! 2. If you want to see the golden sunshine on the snow-capped mountains, many places have been closed due to the snow. There are actually several peaks around Xindu Bridge that you can go to, such as Yuzi West, Gedilam, Mannuka, and the newly built Ze Ren Beng Zeng. It's only about an hour's drive from Xindu Bridge, and cars can reach directly. For those who want to go, it hasn't started snowing there yet, set off quickly~ Xindu Bridge

Selected as the ceiling of Xinduqiao Resort Hotel!

It should be the ceiling of Xinduqiao Resort Hotel A newly opened hotel that I accidentally discovered is still in trial operation The hotel is large and has a sense of design There were several power outages during the period, all of which were properly handled The only drawback is that the room I live in does not have a ventilated window, it is not very ventilated and it is a bit stuffy to live in Because I love Ganzi Prefecture so much, I have been to Xinduqiao countless times, maybe a weekend, maybe a week's stay, I have stayed in large and small hotels in Xinduqiao, and I must recommend the ones I like. Once passing by, I saw this hotel under construction, it was repaired! Must go and experience it once! I was pleasantly surprised when I arrived in the evening, and it looked even more beautiful in the reflection. The overall hotel is very beautiful, and the details reflect the boss's aesthetics. Let's talk about the service first. The front desk ladies are very enthusiastic. They will help with luggage as soon as they arrive. Family members with high anti-feeling feel much warmer. The check-in was quickly completed at the front desk. When I arrived at the coffee shop, hahaha, I never thought about it. Drinking his coffee again is a few years later on the plateau. It's so happy to meet acquaintances on the plateau. The hotel is fully equipped, coffee machine, makeup remover, mouthwash, ironing machine, these small details are considered, the bedding is very comfortable, it will not make a noise when turning over, it is very close, and because it is a new hotel, the facilities are also very new, clean The guest can rest assured to stay, it should be one of the best equipped in the popular hotels in Xinduqiao. So I stayed for the second night. Both rooms 806 and 902 have been experienced. There is not much difference between the two room types. The difference is that 902 is larger, the sunken area is a rest area, and the glass is larger. Anyway, when it snows, go to Xinduqiao, or Parinanka. I also want to recommend their meals. You can see with the naked eye that it is rare to eat this kind of configuration on the plateau. The A set meal we chose is no problem for 2-3 people. The sauce in the ribs is delicious. I also like beef, which is very fresh. Those who have requirements for accommodation in plateau tourism can rest assured to stay, the whole house is oxygenated and will not sleep well, the floor heating is super powerful, go, just rush!!

Sichuan-Tibet Highway Self-Drive Tour (29) "Western Sichuan Crossroads" - Xinduqiao.

Sichuan-Tibet Highway Self-Drive Tour (29) "Western Sichuan Crossroads" - Xinduqiao Ganzi, Sichuan September 27, 2024 The weather in Yajiang is sunny to cloudy, with a temperature of 8-22 degrees. The highest altitude today is 4,408 meters, National Highway 318. Today, I came to Xinduqiao Town, Kangding from Litang, and spent the whole day on the road. On the way, I crossed the Kazi La Mountain Pass (Figure 1, actual altitude 4,408 meters) and the Scissor Bend Mountain Pass (Figure 2, altitude 4,288 meters). After that, I dropped 1,600 meters in about half an hour, passed Yajiang County, and then went up the mountain to cross the Gaer Temple Mountain Tunnel with an altitude of 3,800 meters and a length of 5.68 kilometers. I arrived in Xinduqiao at 1:30 in the afternoon. The section of National Highway 318 I walked today is still a continuous mountain road with good road conditions. There are many parking lots, rest areas, and viewing platforms along the way. It can be seen that the highway management department is considerate and considerate, and tries to keep the beautiful scenery along the way in the eyes and minds of tourists. It rained last night, standing on the top of the mountain, surrounded by clouds and mist, and the mountains are looming (Figures 3-5); the "Heavenly Road Eighteen Bends" under the Scissor Bend Mountain (Figure 6). After arriving in Xinduqiao and arranging accommodation for a short rest, I came to the Gongga Snow Mountain Viewing Platform a few kilometers away, next to National Highway 318. The main peak of Gongga Snow Mountain is 7,509 meters above sea level, the highest peak in Sichuan, known as the "King of Shu Mountain". The distance is far, and the zoom shooting is not ideal (Figure 7). Xinduqiao Town is located at the intersection of National Highway 318 and National Highway 248. It does not have prominent landmark landscapes. The scenery is mainly from Zheduoshan to Xinduqiao and from Xinduqiao to Tagong. The more than 10 kilometers along the line is called the "Photographer's Corridor". The mountains are undulating, and the Tibetan villages are scattered among them. The plain scenery of Western Sichuan is beautiful (Figures 8-9). Stay in Xinduqiao (altitude 3,340 meters) tonight. Tomorrow I plan to take a branch line, play a few small scenes, and then go to Kangding City.

Go in autumn! Go in autumn! From mid-September to early November, arrange a suitable time. ⌛️The most beautiful autumn in Xinduqiao is basically from October to early November. At other times, either the leaves are not yellow, or they are falling. 📌You also need to choose the right weather. Remember to check the weather forecast before departure. You should go on a sunny day. If it is cloudy, it will be greatly discounted. 📌An important point is that the most beautiful autumn scenery is not in Xinduqiao Town, but from Kangding over Zheduo Mountain, after Muya Holy Land to the Gongga Observation Deck in Xinduqiao. Don't miss it. There are many observation decks for temporary parking on both sides of this road. Don't park your car on the side of the road, it will affect traffic and it is not safe. ⚠️ Travel Tips: ❗️The scenic area is located in a high-altitude area, do not exercise vigorously to avoid altitude sickness. ❗️The body consumes a lot on the plateau and is prone to hunger. It is advisable to bring some dry food and snacks with you. ❗️The ultraviolet rays are strong, so be sure to take sun protection measures. ❗️Western Sichuan is dry, bring hand cream, lipstick and fire-reducing medicine, and drink more water during the day. ❗️Plateau travel essentials: sunscreen, umbrella raincoat, humidifier. ❤️Finally: Who are you going to see the most beautiful autumn with?

Parinanka is definitely your ideal choice.

💕The August in Dianchuanxi is still in the summer of the mountains and fields. Going out to play 🚗 is no longer like a special soldier to catch up. I think a good ❣️ trip should be relaxing and enjoyable. 🪴Staying in a hotel 🍃, lying leisurely for a day is also a good choice. The window view is picturesque, and the water is sorrowful 💐 ☀️Wake up in the sun, ☀️look at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, ⛅️order an afternoon tea, 🫖drink a cup of coffee, sometimes I feel that life should be wasted in such a place, 🌅I just want to indulge in it, enjoy this kind of tranquility and leisurely beauty💕 🏞️The most beautiful hotel in Xinduqiao, near the river, so it will not be dry. 🪴The whole house in the room is diffused with oxygen🐶, so it will not be hypoxic. ❣️Lying on the bed, you can see the starry sky outside, ✨sitting by the window, you can see the mountain stream. 🎄It is really the ceiling of the hotel in Sichuan and West 🍀, partners can rest assured🥰 Hotel address; Parinanka Resort Hotel

My boyfriend and I spent 5 days in Western Sichuan, and our spending habits were completely shattered.

My boyfriend and I spent 5 days in Western Sichuan, and our spending habits were completely shattered.|||September 🙌🏻 Actually, tourism in Western Sichuan is not expensive! But if you don't do your research 😭 you'll really spend a lot of money ⭐ Especially if it's your first time in Western Sichuan, you have to prepare well · ⚠️⚠️ Must-read precautions 1⃣ From August 26, the road to Danshui Bay in Danba will be reopened, and the temporary road has been repaired (only small cars can pass) 2⃣ Not recommended to go to Gênyê in early September, there are no flowers or summer wonders. 3⃣ Don't look at the weather forecast on your phone when you're on the plateau, the weather on the plateau is unpredictable, and it varies from region to region 4⃣ Bring thick clothes or a windbreaker, the plateau is really different from the plains! There is a big difference in temperature between day and night, so it is recommended to wear layers, which are easy to put on and take off 5⃣ The conditions in Tibetan areas are limited, so be prepared, the accommodation is not comparable to cities, it is best to bring pajamas and some toiletries 6⃣ Do a good job of sun protection, bring sunscreen, hats and sunglasses, the wind on the plateau is really strong, hats are very important 7⃣ Learn to take the opposite route during peak season to avoid crowds, there will be a lot less cars 8⃣ Some places may not have a signal, so bring some cash with you, you will need it to use the toilet, and the toilets in many places in Western Sichuan are in poor condition, so be prepared . ✅ Detailed itinerary for 5 days and 4 nights in Western Sichuan DAY1: Chengdu-Kangding-Honghaizi-Mosi Park-Yuzixi-Xinluqiao DAY2: Xinluqiao-Tianlu Eighteen Bends-Litang-Shangri-La Town DAY3: Shangri-La Town-Yading Day Trip-Daocheng County DAY4: Daocheng County-Litang-Tagong Grassland-Danba DAY5: Danba-Siguniangshan Shuangqiaogou-Maobiliang-Chengdu .. 💡Tips: Western Sichuan's attractions are scattered, driving yourself is too tiring and may cause unnecessary trouble, so it's not very suitable. I advise you, whether you plan to go with a group or travel independently, remember to confirm your itinerary in advance -

The charm of the ceiling in a Sichuan hotel!

Sichuan summer escape | Live in a painting with your kids in Xinduqiao Escape the 40°C heat in Chengdu and enjoy a 20°C summer in Sichuan with your kids The Hada scarf and the warm welcome home when you get off the bus. The double wooden doors in the room are full of ceremony. The view from the floor-to-ceiling windows is stunning. The whole house is filled with offerings to help you sleep well. Arrived during the Mid-Autumn Festival and there were handmade mooncakes. The Gongga Snow Mountain ice cream was both beautiful and delicious. There was a small bonfire party at 8pm. Lying flat in the beautiful scenery to escape the summer heat and take the kids out was great. Photographer's paradise. Xinduqiao in autumn will be even more beautiful. I want to go again~ Nearby attractions: Gunong Village, Tagong Temple, Tagong Grassland, Jiagenba, Yuzixi, Sky City, Sky Garden Sichuan in autumn is really beautiful. Drive from Kangding to Zheduoshan, then to Xinduqiao, passing Jiagenba, Tagong Grassland, and Yuzixi. Everywhere along the way is a beautiful view. After a five-hour drive, we arrived at the hotel. We chose the Zanba Mingjing Hotel in the conveniently located Xiabaisang Village, which has a lot of local Tibetan culture. There was a Tibetan butler at the entrance who offered a Hada scarf, which was full of ceremony. We were lucky to have a room facing the grassland. The large floor-to-ceiling windows offered an unobstructed view, which was very pleasant. When night fell, there were not only stars, but also a barbecue and bonfire party at the hotel. We got up early the next day and went hiking on Rewo Longba Mountain. The view from the top of the mountain was very open. Then we could throw Lungta paper with the local Tibetans to pray for blessings.

Xinduqiao is about to enter the next level of direct deification

Promise me to visit Western Sichuan once in autumn. Everywhere looks like a palette overturned by God, with colorful forests covering the mountains and open views. There are small bridges and flowing water, herds of cattle and horses, and distinctive Tibetan-style houses. It's like stepping into a beautiful oil painting town. Enjoying autumn here is simply wonderful! . Autumn Viewing Itinerary: day1: Chengdu-Kangding-s434_Yuzixi-Xinduqiao day2: Xinduqiao-Jiagenba-Riche Village-Xinduqiao day3: Xinduqiao-Tagong-Gulong Village-Honghaizi-Chengdu . 📷【Places Suitable for Photography Along the Way】: 1⃣ Along the way from Xinduqiao to Jiagenba Autumn in Xinduqiao is truly a paradise for photographers, with colorful forests covering the mountains, rows of yellow leaves along the road, slowly flowing streams, and Tibetan villages. Every spot is beautiful. 2⃣ Songdun Niji in Jiagenba This place can be used for camping and is also a guesthouse. Set up a tent by the stream, place a chair on the lawn to bask in the sun, walk on the wooden bridge, listen to the sound of flowing water, and watch the grazing cattle and sheep in the distance. It's quiet and beautiful. 3⃣ Zesang La Aerial Grassland This is a large grassland on the top of Jiagenba Mountain. Navigation: Xueyin Pavilion Guesthouse. You can only go up by off-road vehicle. The scenery at the top is particularly beautiful, and you can see snow-capped mountains and grasslands. It is even more stunning than the golden mountain at Yuzixi. . Practical Tips: 1. First, go at the right season. You must go in autumn. Highlight this point: the autumn in Xinduqiao generally starts from late October to early November, a short period of thirty days. At other times, either the leaves are not yellow or they have already fallen. If you miss this time, don't go; it would be a wasted trip. 2. Choose the right weather and time. Remember to check the weather forecast before setting off. It is generally accurate. Go on a sunny day; cloudy days are much less impressive. Note that the best time is from 5 PM to before dark on sunny days. 3. The most important point: the most beautiful autumn scenery is not in Xinduqiao town but on the road from Kangding over Zheduo Mountain, past Muya Holy Land, to the Gongga Viewing Platform in Xinduqiao. The scenery is along this section, so don't miss it. 4. Many viewing platforms have been built on both sides of this road, so don't park your car on the roadside, as it affects traffic and is unsafe.

🇨🇳 Xinduqiao: A Picturesque Gateway in Ganzi Prefecture

#chinatrip Nestled in the heart of Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan Province, Xinduqiao is often referred to as the "Photographer’s Paradise." This enchanting town serves as a gateway to the Tibetan Plateau and is surrounded by an awe-inspiring panorama of towering mountains. Its unique landscape, marked by vast meadows, winding rivers, and especially the picturesque backdrop of snow-capped peaks, makes Xinduqiao a favorite among nature lovers and photography enthusiasts alike. Captivating Scenic Beauty Xinduqiao is celebrated for its stunning natural light and vibrant autumn colors, which create a breathtaking visual spectacle. The area's high altitude results in a striking clarity of light, enhancing the contrast and saturation of the pastoral landscapes. This makes even the simplest scenes—such as local Tibetan-style houses, peacefully grazing yaks, and rustic stone bridges—appear magical. The region is particularly famous for its spectacular views of Mount Gongga (Minya Konka), the highest mountain in Sichuan, which provides a dramatic and majestic backdrop. A Hub for Outdoor Activities For those who thrive in the outdoors, Xinduqiao offers a plethora of activities. It's a starting point for treks and bike rides through the scenic valleys and highland meadows. The region's paths and trails lead adventurers through some of the most untouched and stunningly beautiful areas of the Tibetan Plateau, offering opportunities to connect with nature on a profound level. Cultural Immersion Visiting Xinduqiao also provides a unique insight into the local Tibetan culture. The town and its surrounding areas are dotted with traditional Tibetan villages where visitors can experience authentic Tibetan hospitality, cuisine, and art. Monasteries and stupas add to the cultural tapestry, each telling a story of faith and tradition that has persisted through the ages. Visitor Tips - Best Time to Visit: The best time to experience Xinduqiao is during the autumn months from October to November when the landscape is a riot of colors. However, each season offers its own charm, with flowering meadows in the spring and snowy vistas in the winter. - Accommodations: There are several guesthouses and hotels in Xinduqiao, ranging from basic accommodations to more comfortable options with traditional Tibetan hospitality. - Travel Preparedness: Given the altitude, visitors should take precautions to acclimatize properly to avoid altitude sickness. Layered clothing is recommended as temperatures can fluctuate dramatically between day and night.

I made a special trip to Xinduqiao for this hotel

Zanba Mingjing Hotel | Yake Mountain View Twin Room The hotel opened in 2023, it's very beautiful, new, and clean. There's no odd smell, and personally, I think it should be the most worthwhile Tibetan-style hotel to stay in Xinduqiao. The environment and service are very nice. From the front desk to the restaurant staff, every employee I met was very gentle and polite. Upon arriving at the parking lot, you will receive a blessing Hada and help with luggage to the front desk. The room includes breakfast, Guerlain toiletries set, welcome fruit, dried fruit, and snack set, as well as a goodnight dessert. The hotel also provides a business car shuttle service from Kangding Airport for non-driving guests. The room thoughtfully offers an oxygen service. The taste of the dishes in the restaurant is also very good. I highly recommend it to friends going to Xinduqiao for the May Day holiday.
