Self-Driving in Western Sichuan|No One Can Beat Xinduqiao in This Season

🚗 For an autumn trip, be sure to save one for Western Sichuan Autumn in Western Sichuan is definitely not to be missed❌Xinduqiao When traveling in Western Sichuan, I highly recommend renting a car for self-driving 🚗. The itinerary is more flexible, and travel is more comfortable. For this self-driving trip, I still chose to rent with 🐬, which offers a wide selection of vehicles and transparent pricing. The roads in Western Sichuan are not easy to drive, especially when heading to high-altitude spots, with many gravel and muddy roads. It’s easy to get minor scratches or bumps, so having the damage waiver from Wuyou Rent made my journey more reassuring. ⚠️ Rent a car 🚗 with 🐬 and get a super rental subsidy 🎫, up to 388💰 off. - 🍁 Autumn in Xinduqiao is truly rich and vibrant; the colorful forests and snow-capped mountains 🏔️ complement each other perfectly~ 📅 Itinerary Sharing D1: Chengdu → Kangding → Gunong Village D2: Jiagenba → Yuzixi D3: Gedilamu Sky City → Return Trip ✅ Gunong Village The vegetation and meadows have turned yellow, Yala Snow Mountain 🏔️ is right in front of you, and streams surround the area. This has clearly become a great camping spot. Recommended to come in the afternoon and leave at dusk. If you’re lucky, you can see the golden sunlight on the mountain peaks. · ✅ Jiagenba Currently, Jiagenba has the strongest autumn atmosphere. If you want to go, hurry up, or you’ll have to wait another year. The mountain is covered in colorful forests, with small bridges, cattle and sheep, and streams. This place fulfills all your autumn imaginations. · ✅ Yuzixi A stunning viewing spot for Gongga Snow Mountain 🏔️ and Yala Snow Mountain 🏔️! The autumn meadows have all turned yellow, making it even more beautiful. There is also a starry sky campsite here where you can camp on the mountaintop ⛺️. You can bring your own gear. For those not camping, after watching the sunset 🌄, remember to descend early and be careful on the way down. · ✅ Gedilamu Sky City The carousel on the snow mountain, the red and white lighthouse, and the wooden cabins make this place look like a world straight out of a fairy tale. You can also enjoy views of Gongga and Yala here. It’s also a great spot to watch the sunset. - ⚠️ Avoid Pitfalls Tips 1️⃣ The ultraviolet rays on the plateau are very strong! Sunscreen + hat + sunglasses are essential. 2️⃣ Large temperature difference between day and night, bring a light down jacket + windbreaker. 3️⃣ The last 20 kilometers to Yuzixi is a gravel road. Beginners should drive slowly and secure a good viewing spot in advance. The scenery of Western Sichuan is all along the road. Renting a car 🚗 for self-driving lets you stop and take photos anytime. Don’t hesitate to grab this great deal!
