If you don’t go to the western Sichuan grasslands now, it will be too late! One-day tour from Chengdu to Lixiaolu is only 💰138/person, what are you waiting for❓
🌟Here you can find snow-capped mountains, forests, meadows, streams... and China’s second largest red stone beach besides Hailuogou Red Stone Beach‼️
🌟The valley stretches for one or two kilometers, very spectacular, with a mountainous three-dimensional climate, zero air pollution, a pristine ecological attraction, and the best part❌ no entrance fee.

💫Snowy mountain meadows and clear streams right beside the road, recommended to wear a light-colored long dress and take backlit silhouette photos on the wooden bridge or by the stream

💫10-minute walk from the parking lot through the primeval forest, along the way there are streams and wildflowers, mist spreads below the waterfall
