Promise me, this summer you must fulfill your rendezvous with Western Sichuan

In Western Sichuan, you can encounter the gem-like azure waters of Jiuzhaigou, as if all the blues in the world have gathered here; step into the breathtakingly beautiful Mugecuo that resembles an oil painting, where every frame is a gift from nature; and quietly await the golden sunset over Yuzixi, where golden light spills over snow-capped mountains, creating a magnificent sight you'll never forget. The romance woven by snow mountains and meadows is vividly embodied in this land. The summer in Western Sichuan is like a dazzling painting. Ese flowers bloom wildly, grasslands regain their green attire, and pink azaleas cover the mountain slopes, making it as beautiful as a fairy tale—it's no exaggeration to say it rivals Switzerland. Now, I'm sharing this Western Sichuan travel guide with you. Friends planning summer vacations or graduation trips, remember to save this! Recommended Western Sichuan Small Loop Itinerary Road trip with friends starting from Chengdu—this three-day itinerary is well-planned without detours. Both nights are spent in Xinduqiao, where the relatively lower altitude ensures more comfortable sleep and reduces the risk of altitude sickness. Day 1 Depart from Chengdu to Kangding City, then visit the Kangding Love Song Scenic Area to begin this romantic Western Sichuan journey. Day 2 From Xinduqiao, pass through Jagenba to finally reach Tagong Grassland and experience its vastness and grandeur. Day 3 From Xinduqiao, head to Yala Snow Mountain and Honghaizi to admire stunning snow-capped mountains and lake scenery before returning to Chengdu. Precautions and Essential Items Altitude Sickness With high elevations in Western Sichuan, symptoms like headaches, tinnitus, and rapid breathing may occur. Those concerned can take Rhodiola rosea in advance for prevention. Avoid bathing, washing hair, or strenuous exercise on the first day to prevent catching cold or exhausting yourself. Weather Conditions The weather in Western Sichuan is changeable, with occasional showers and significant day-night temperature differences. A windproof jacket is essential, along with an umbrella. Sun Protection The UV radiation here is extremely strong. Physical sun protection is a must—sunglasses, high-SPF sunscreen, and hats are indispensable. They not only protect from the sun but also block wind, keeping you both beautiful and comfortable during your trip. Kangding Love Song Scenic Area Special Activities The Kangding Love Song Scenic Area is hosting the "Kangding Love Song Summer Love & Fun Season" event, full of interesting activities. Mini-games in the scenic area are free to participate in, and completing tasks earns you silver tickets that can be exchanged for free exquisite merchandise! Enjoy numerous NPC interactions, immersive murder mystery games, the Kangding Love Song music challenge, dance battles, and more. Recent high school and college entrance exam graduates can even get free admission! Exchangeable gifts include boat tickets, medicinal foot soak tickets, tofu pudding with eggs, ice cream, 318 car stickers, and special merchandise. This summer, head to Western Sichuan for a romantic and exciting adventure!
