Chestnut Travel Notes | A witty trip to Western Sichuan

"Images warm memories"

This is the 3 thing that Xiao Chestnut has shared with you about me.

The witty friends tour group is now open!

Open the map and lock a beautiful place

Even though I knew the sky was not beautiful, I still set out

First stop - Western Sichuan

●From planning to departure, this trip was born on a whim. Although I would talk to Zhu Dani every time I met, I never thought that this expectation would come true!

●The original plan was that Qian and I would switch cars and the sisters would drive to western Sichuan, but for safety reasons, Zhu Dani still called her Hank to be the driver. During the rest of the journey, I would always joke with Qian, who gave us the courage to drive to Western Sichuan!

●Three days and two nights are quite short for me, but for two students who are still in summer school, hahahahahaha, it is quite long, hahahahahahaha~~~

The road conditions from Chengdu to Kangding City are quite good. The normal expressway is also quite friendly to timid sisters.

The first meal I had in western Sichuan was a very refreshing yak beef soup pot. The average person is about 50 or 60 years old. The name of the restaurant is Snow Mountain Wild Mushroom Yak Beef Soup Pot. Free parking is available at the hotel opposite and it is quite close to the highway exit.

Let’s go to Kasira! Little tip, don’t believe the weather forecast in Kangding, it’s almost local rainfall. Even if the weather forecast says it will rain, you can still go.

On the way, there was a section of the road where there was thick fog. Fortunately, Brother Prado in front of us gave us a sense of security! Nice! It is recommended that novices review the content of Section 1 before setting off. Anyway, if it were me, I would definitely be confused when encountering heavy fog.

When you encounter a scenery you like on the road, just find a safe place and stop! Don’t miss the scenery along the way!

Driving to the mountains, the temperature was still a bit low. Hahahahahaha, my little blanket finally came in handy, matching Akane.

Although I had been to the plateau before and thought I wouldn’t get high, my dear, I actually felt a little uncomfortable this time. Thanks to Zhu Dani for the rhodiola rosea and glucose. She is such a considerate and pretty girl.

Wise friends - when traveling, especially to places with higher altitudes, remember to bring some emergency medicine.

ps: Tickets are required in Kasila, so you can prepare some change in cash before departure.

In fact, when we got off the bus, it started to rain lightly. We have come all the way, so this little rain is nothing. Until later, the rain became heavier and heavier, and we became drowned in the rain and became a joke.

Due to the weather, we went directly to the hotel in Xinduqiao and did not go to other scenic spots. After making a reservation for dinner, we went back to our room to rest.

The main dish for dinner is still yak soup pot, but we added spicy chicken and a portion of fried shredded potatoes. It tasted very good and made us two big bowls of rice!

Halfway through the meal, a greedy cat came and leaned next to Akane.

It rained on the road intermittently. The sky also became slightly darker. The grasslands come in different shades of color. We are always on the road.

Roadside stop: We passed a temple enshrining a deity on the way.

When traveling to western Sichuan, most of your time is spent on the road. Don’t feel like it’s a waste of time. The scenery is all on the road, so don’t fall asleep!

If you get tired of the scenery, just chat with a friend.

Or pick up your camera, take a few photos you like, and keep them.

I came here to visit a 4A-level tourist attraction. The scenery is beautiful, but it is not very friendly to those with high altitude sickness, as it requires climbing uphill.

When you arrive at the scenic spot, you need to buy a ticket first, and then go to the shuttle bus to queue up to enter the mountain.

We thought it would rain heavily later and were afraid of being soaked in water, so we bought a raincoat that seemed to be of good quality.

Sitting on the shuttle bus, as soon as we crossed the mountain, we knew that the weather forecast had been deceived. The sun was shining brightly and the temperature was rising little by little.

Is it because they are good-looking, or because I take good photos?

This inseparable sweater jacket and scarf can only be used to protect from the sun.

Moshi Park is a paradise for photographers, especially for shooting. Because the scenic area is very large, even if there are many tourists, it will not affect your viewing.

Zhu Dani made the wishing stones herself, but she didn't tell me what she wished for.

In the summer in western Sichuan, the weather is unpredictable. Halfway through the walk, it starts to rain again.

Finally down the mountain, ahhhhhhhh! Chestnut is alive!

Parked on the roadside: This picture is named "Friends". I asked the question again!

I took a group photo with a tripod. However, I feel like we are a joke, so I won’t let it go. I might put it in the video!

She came, she came, she came towards me in short sleeves.

Smart friends——Remember to turn on AirDrop and share the photos your friends took for you while they are hot.

Tagong Grassland. (Our hotel this time is on the grassland, the scenery is super!)

That afternoon, when we came to the grassland, the weather was very nice, but it was a little sunny.

Pick up the phone and take a wild shot.

This is where we look out from our B&B!

Step out of the room and embrace nature. The temperature difference here is quite large, so be careful about dressing.

This is a B&B on Tagong Grassland. There are two floor-to-ceiling glass windows in the room. If you open the curtains, you will be healed.

If you see such a "little cutie" in your room, please don't panic. Call the front desk and an aunt will come to help you get rid of it.

Although the scenery is beautiful, studies are more important! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

It doesn't matter, I still have my old friends with me. Woooooooooooo!

I was outside, watching the white clouds drift away at a speed visible to the naked eye, and watching the dark clouds drift in.

The sun is very bright and the ultraviolet rays are very strong. It doesn’t matter. Wear long sleeves and a scarf on your head, and you won’t be afraid of getting sunburned!

Dark clouds came over, and later it was revealed that there was a serious lack of light.

The dark clouds are coming, is it time to eat?

Yes, today’s dinner is yak soup pot again.

Due to high reflection, update will be stopped.

The weather on the day we left was exceptionally good, extremely good!

Roadside parking: This feels like a geographical feature.

Seeing them happy makes me happy. Friends who are highly allergic should not be overly excited and just take pictures quietly.

Smart friends - When you go out to play, be sure to bring a friend who can take photos.

Along the way today, the windows outside the window were filled with Windows desktop images.

Stopping on the roadside: I suddenly thought of Ding Zhen’s pearls.

When you are used to seeing the tall buildings and busy traffic in the city, and suddenly you are immersed in this paradise on earth, you just want to take a deep breath of the fairy air here and remind yourself that this is not a dream!

It must be a wealthy family.

On the way down the mountain, we saw Gongga Snow Mountain.

Ganzi Kangding Airport is a high plateau airport. Um? Maybe I have never seen such a simple airport, so I went to join in the fun.

They call this Rainbow Road. It is considered a check-in attraction. Many people are waiting for the plane to take off and take photos with it here.

Thanks for driving hard, hank.

Smart friends - friends who have obtained a driver's license, you can take more expressways (except airport expressways) during daily training, so as to add strength to your friends' future travels!

The weather is so nice back home!

On the way down the mountain, you will see many tourists coming up the mountain. Their journey to western Sichuan has just begun, and ours is not over yet.

Gongga Snow Mountain stands tall in the distance, seemingly close but not close, far but not far away. Its naughty nature seems to say, welcome to come again next time!

Suddenly, the camera displayed a low battery reminder. I turned it off, put it in my camera bag, and let it rest.

I won’t share the scenery behind with you!

Every special experience makes this trip unique. It is said that plans cannot keep up with changes, but when you regard changes as your plan, all worries will disappear, hehehehe, hahahahaha~~

This is my first time on a tour. To sum up, it’s perfect and I have no regrets!

The smart friends tour group, the first stop, Western Sichuan, a perfect ending!
