📍Planning a Trip to Western Sichuan (川西) from June to October? Save this 💡 Just got back from an unforgettable summer road trip across Western Sichuan – and trust me, this region is straight out of a postcard. If you’re heading there anytime from May to October, here’s what you need to know: 🗓 Best Time to Visit May–October is golden! Less rain, blooming wildflowers, snow mountains, and clear blue skies. Avoid public holidays for the best experience. 🌡 Pack Smart Daytime sunburn, nighttime chills! Bring layers, sunscreen, and altitude sickness meds – you’ll thank me later. 😅 🗺 Route Tips Scenic spots are far apart, so plan your itinerary well and avoid rushed “drive-by sightseeing”. Give yourself time to soak in the beauty. When driving early in the morning above 4000m, it’s common to see snow even in summer! 📍Must-See Stops ✨ 黄龙风景区 – Famous for its terraced calcified ponds that look like jade steps under the sun. It’s like walking into a surreal painting! 📷✨ ✨ 九寨沟 – Must-visit during summer when waterfalls and lakes are at their fullest ✨ 四姑娘山 – Like walking among four snow-capped goddesses. ✨ 康定情歌风景区 – A dreamy blend of green pastures, streams, and local song-and-dance shows. ✨ 稻城亚丁 – A sacred wonderland with snowy peaks, turquoise lakes & fairytale forests. ✨ 冷噶措 – A hidden gem dubbed “the tear of Gongga Snow Mountain.”. ✨ 格聂神山 – Remote, pure, and untouched – nature at its most majestic. Other highlights- • Zheduoshan 折多山: Strong winds, fast-moving fog—wear a hat! • Tianlu 18 Bends 九转十八弯: Curvy mountain pass with dramatic switchbacks. • Kazila Mountain 卡子拉山: Beautiful highland scenery. • Qisehai 七彩海 (Seven-Colored Lake): Summer destination with great views. • Letong Ancient Town 勒通古镇: Cultural stop with preserved Tibetan-style houses. 📸 Photography Tips Bring your brightest outfit! Vivid colors pop beautifully against snow mountains and turquoise lakes. Polarized sunnies are a must. 🕶️ 👟 Footwear matters Some spots require light hiking on slippery paths—wear good shoes! 🎒This is not just a trip—it’s a soul-refreshing journey through one of China’s most magical regions. 💙 #chinatravel #稻城亚丁 #康定情歌 #黄龙风景区 #四姑娘山 #318川藏线 #川西旅行攻略
