For safe travel in western Sichuan during the rainy season, it is better to go to Menghuo City in Yele Lake
Recently, mudslides have increased in western Sichuan, causing traffic jams and road blockages.
It was scary all the way and really affected my mood!
It is recommended that sisters who have not set out yet can choose Yele Lake Menghuo City
Menghuo City has pure natural scenery
plateau forests, river valley scenery, large meadows, alpine plants and flowers
Yele Lake is a natural lake that has not yet been developed
It has the landforms and vegetation and meadows of Altay, as well as cattle and sheep
The two attractions are not far from each other, in Sichuan.
Self-driving test guide is as follows:
Day 1 Navigation: Menghuo City
Distance: G5 Beijing-Kunming Expressway (under Menghuo City) - 108 National Highway - Menghuo City Scenic Area
Road conditions: It is very fast to get to the scenic area after getting off the expressway. The national highway has a cement road surface, which is spacious, flat and not dangerous
Check-in points: Wedding Dress Base - Sky Realm - Renran Horse Farm - Big Grassland - Beacon Tower - Red Stone Beach - Suspension Bridge - Glass Plank Road
Accommodation: Menghuo City Xiangye Ermian Tent Camp (next to the suspension bridge, you can see the stars and fireflies at night!)
Cost: Ticket 0, you can drive directly to the hotel parking lot when booking accommodation
Day 2 Navigation: Yele Lake (Menghuo City - Yele Lake drive about 1h)
Check-in points: Shepherd Tribe Camping Base (higher terrain overlooking the lake) - Green Forest Fritillaria Base (100 meters to the lake, close to the lake)
Personally, I think this is also the place to take the best photos
Cost: Ticket 0
Small tips:
The wind is strong in the mountains and by the lake, bring a coat! Bring a coat!
Bring rain gear!! The weather is very changeable
Don’t be too happy picking mushrooms
Wild mushrooms are risky, don’t eat them easily!!
Pay attention to the environment and take away your garbage
If you encounter wild monkeys🐵, please don’t provoke them, close the car windows and enjoy them
You can always encounter free-range cattle, sheep and pigs on the road, so drive carefully and respect local customs
I hope everyone will have good qualities, protect the environment and wild animals, and be self-disciplined.
