Laba River｜Filters shattered everywhere, perfect green wilderness, zero fairy tale points||

||. The "Little Switzerland of Western Sichuan 🇨🇭" and "Wild Deer Forest 🦌" that blew up the homepage... But—— 🌿 The forest is truly green, the breeze is truly cool, and the heart is truly broken! 💔 📍 Honest advice: Lower your expectations, avoid pitfalls precisely Suitable for: ✅ Hiking beginners/family with children (easy East Line 👨‍👩‍👧) ✅ Those seeking summer coolness (average summer temperature 23℃ ❄️) ✅ Wild monkey watchers** (cautious version 🐒) ❌ Those obsessed with seeing deer/red pandas (likely to be disappointed 🦌🚫) ❌ Budget-conscious/people who hate animal harassment (💸🙅) ✅ Transportation & Supplies: 🚗 Must-know for self-driving: Depart at 6 AM ⏰! Avoid morning rush hour, stop for 1 hour in Tianquan County 🛒 (restock food, water 🥖, buy trekking poles to fend off monkeys 🧗), then drive 1 hour to the scenic area; 🚌 Public transport: Direct shuttle to the scenic area takes about 4 hours, low cost-effectiveness, better for those with plenty of time 🛋️. ✅ "Monkey Prevention Guide" ⚠️ > Their eyes on your bag 👀 are more focused than your partner checking their phone... > They even want to snatch your shoelaces 👟, and will follow you all the way to the parking lot! 🚗💨 > Tibetan macaques will snatch bags, rummage cars, and pull clothes 👕; I saw a child scared to tears 😭! More aggressive than the park staff! (The last time I saw such aggression was from the Ultraman gang 💂.) 1️⃣ Hide food deep inside your backpack 🎒, don’t rummage your bag in front of monkeys! ❌ Don’t carry plastic bags or hats 🧢, ✅ lock your backpack zippers 🔒; 2️⃣ Parents should let kids carry trekking poles for self-defense 🧑‍🦯 (or pick up sticks in the park), 🐒 monkeys fear long sticks ⚠️, stay calm and walk away quickly when encountering monkeys 🏃💨. ✅ Hiking routes: 🗺️ 1. One-day tour (easy version): 🔹 Route: Scenic area entrance → Luming Hotel (take photos of the suspension bridge 🌉) → Longyin Trail (hike 2 km to Blue Crystal Hotel 🏨, then return) → Return at 16:00 🚙; 🔹 Advantage: Avoid the high-intensity West Line ⛰️, suitable for families/elderly 👵, focus on experiencing forest streams 🌲💧, don’t panic if you encounter monkeys. 2. Two-day tour (cost-effective version): 🔹 Day 1: Chengdu → Tianquan County (stay 🏠, explore the county + restock supplies); 🔹 Day 2: Tianquan → Scenic area (1h) → East Line hike (Longyin Trail full 4.5 km 👣) → Afternoon sightseeing bus to Red Stone Beach → Return at 17:00 🚌; 🔹 Save budget: Staying in the county saves accommodation costs 💸, Red Stone Beach is easier than the West Line 😎, and you can avoid dense monkey areas 🐵💥. 🔍 Final truth 💬: Laba River has the beauty of forest streams, but don’t be fooled by the "fairy tale filter 🫧"— 🚫 far transportation, 🚫 high costs, 🚫 animal sightings depend on luck... Treat it as a "light hike 👟 + summer coolness ❄️" half-day trip near Chengdu, don’t have too high expectations, don’t believe the marketing’s "perfect filter 🎨"! Bring good gear and avoid pitfalls to truly enjoy this beauty.
