The answer is on the road|Go to Western Sichuan to find the wind and freedom

This loop route is definitely a seriously underrated treasure in Western Sichuan: 📍Eighteen Bends of the Heavenly Road Sunlight shines on the winding Shengshan Highway, looking like the fingerprint of the earth from an aerial view. It is recommended to stop at the third viewing platform, where you can capture the complete S-shaped curve. 📍Mian'er Mountain Wonder From afar, you can see the iconic "rabbit ear" rock pillars, vividly standing out in the desolate mountain. It is recommended to use a telephoto lens for shooting, paired with the layered mountains in the distance for an amazing effect. 📍Haizi Mountain Alien Terrain Here’s the highlight! Passing through the ancient glacial stone river, scattered blue lakes appear before your eyes. Don’t miss it, be sure to visit the Sister Lakes for an even more stunning view. The twin lakes nestle between black whetstones, and under the sunlight, their color looks like sapphires! Adding a note: Oh, actually I didn’t know they were the Sister Lakes, unfortunately I didn’t get to go. 【Real Feelings】 Setting off from Litang early in the morning, the magnificent curve of the Eighteen Bends of the Heavenly Road, taking photos with Mian'er Mountain and the magical Mian'er Peak. In the afternoon, venturing into the alien world of Haizi Mountain, sapphire lakes scattered across the wilderness, the ancient glacier site is as breathtaking as interstellar travel. Although it’s a challenge with altitude sickness and beautiful scenery, the scenery is on the road, recording beautiful moments and returning fully satisfied. ✨Tips: • Best light when departing Litang at 7 AM • Haizi Mountain is windy, bring a windproof jacket • Be careful walking at the ancient glacier site
