Misty Summer in Daocheng Yading
In the summer, a misty haze envelops the landscape, and Daocheng Yading appears like a fairyland before your eyes. At this moment, the mist drapes over the towering snow-capped mountains like a delicate veil, adding a touch of mystery and charm.
The mist gently caresses the vast meadows, making the lush grasslands seem as if they are immersed in a dream, appearing even more vibrant and poetic.

The King of Waterscapes!
What remains most unforgettable is ultimately the waters of Jiuzhaigou. Those crystal-clear lakes, like enormous mirrors, reflect all the beauty of the world. Each droplet seems to contain a vibrant life force, twinkling with brilliant light under the sun. They either rush down to form spectacular calcified waterfalls or flow gently into serene calcified lakes, or even meander over the flats, playing out a wonderful symphony.
I am tour guide Peggy, welcome to Sichuan for fun.
Northwestern Sichuan | The Eastern Alps·Bi Peng Gou
Bi Peng Gou is a major attraction in northwestern Sichuan, with scenery that changes with the seasons. Snow begins to fall at the end of autumn❄️, and by January and February, the entire mountaintop is covered with thick snow, which then gradually melts. Around April and May, a stretch of green grass will grow, and by June and July, the mountains are lush and incredibly beautiful❤️
Bi Peng Gou does have a bit of a Swiss feel to it, but unfortunately, the weather was not good, and the sky was covered with a layer of gray haze from start to finish. One can imagine how much more beautiful it would be in good weather. We ended up eating instant noodles on the mountain, and it is said that the boiling water is indeed melted snow, which feels like a win👍
Taking the scenic area bus for a slow ride around the mountain area takes about four to five hours, and the facilities are quite good. Walking from station to station is not too tiring. April and May are not crowded and are very suitable for a walk, with very fresh air, and it's absolutely refreshing❤️
Self-Driving Tour
The car moves along the road, and the scenery gradually changes. As we pass the Nu River, the turbulent and surging river roars beneath the bridge, demonstrating its majestic power. The solidity of the bridge contrasts sharply with the wildness of the Nu River, making one marvel at the wisdom of humanity and the force of nature.
Ranwu Lake appears before us like a dazzling pearl. The lake is a deep blue, reflecting the surrounding snow-capped mountains and clouds, creating a dreamlike beauty.
The famous '72 Bends' is a great test of driving skill and courage. Each bend is filled with challenges, yet they also reveal the endlessly changing scenery along the way.
Circumambulating Mountains, Waters, and Stupas
Every Tibetan has a deep faith and persistence in circumambulating mountains, waters, and stupas. For them, this is not only a religious ritual but also a way to connect with the land and the divine.
Upon arriving at the foot of the Daocheng White Stupa, the pristine stupa and its solemn atmosphere immediately impart a sense of reverence and tranquility. The surrounding Tibetans, dressed in traditional attire, holding prayer flags in their hands, slowly circle around the stupa, murmuring prayers. Their eyes are filled with devotion, as if they are silently communicating with the deities.
Following their steps, I too begin to circle the stupa, drawn into the depths of my own heart. As I immerse myself, the clutter in my mind gradually dissipates, and my soul seems to be purified. The wind rustles the prayer flags, sounding like whispers from the gods, enveloping me in this sacred atmosphere.
Circumambulating mountains, waters, and stupas is not only a Tibetan belief and culture but also a profound respect and insight into life. Under the Daocheng White Stupa, I witnessed the power of this faith.
The Rich Cultural Atmosphere Here
Jinchuan Guanyin Bridge is a place full of mystery and charm.
As I walked along the road, what caught my eyes were the devout figures of the believers. They worshiped on their knees, each movement filled with steadfast faith.
The road to the Upper Guanyin Temple is a winding mountain highway, narrow and serpentine. Yet, this has not stopped people from moving forward.
Along the way, the eyes are met with greenery, the most pure color of nature. The flowers by the roadside compete in beauty, enchanting and captivating, as if they are telling the beauty and magic of this land.
All of this deeply made me feel the power of faith and the charm of nature.
