The time control of each attraction, the arrangement of taking pictures and punching points were in place, and there was no extra consumption. Pan guide was humorous and funny. Although people are dark, but a sincere heart leads us to play
The scenery is beautiful and the altitude is not low. It should be 3860 meters to the top of the mountain. If you don't have high altitude experience, you still have to pay attention to high reaction. You can take a car to Mugecuo, then walk down slowly to see the scenery along the way.
Overall it is good. The scenery is very good. It's just that there are not many service items, mainly for self-examination. First take the car to Mugecuohaizi, visit the yoliu Mountain and Baihai Grassland, you can take the car down to each attraction. Seven colors sea is very good. If you are not in a hurry, you can walk down slowly and watch the scenery along the way.
The scenery is beautiful and worth a visit. You can wear thicker in moderation this day, and you don't have to rent clothes to go down the mountain. Be careful of high reaction.
Ordinary attractions, in fact, there are more similar scenery in West Sichuan, and it is free. The wrong front travels and waits for the car without waiting for a long time. The staff in the scenic area are very enthusiastic and give a compliment.
