This Underrated Fairyland: Autumn is More Beautiful Than Da Ding, Sichuan
Surrounded by vast snow mountains, I accidentally stumbled into a fairyland. Rainbow forests are everywhere, how can one word describe its 'beauty'?
Clear waterfalls reflect a pure world. Small and large pools scatter, so pure it's suffocating.
A thousand-year-old tree still exudes majesty, creating a fantastical kingdom. A clear stream meanders through the forest, through the meadow, and even through your heart.
This place isn't desolate; it's occasionally inhabited by shepherds tending their flocks. In the distance, snow mountains and rainbow forests; nearby, herds of cattle and sheep.
You may not have heard its name, but this place holds world-class scenery! There's no deliberate decoration, no crowds. Even during the National Day holiday, there aren't throngs of people.
Only tranquility and immense beauty exist between heaven and earth – it's a place you'll start missing before you leave,
Qinghuan Valley, located in Xiaojin County, Aba Prefecture, Sichuan Province, with a valley length of approximately 30 kilometers and an altitude of 3125 meters,
Here is still undeveloped, so you can only ride horses or hike. I highly recommend driving there,
It's precisely because of this that countless original landscapes are perfectly preserved; as you walk, you realize you've stepped into a fairyland,
In late autumn, this is when the beauty is like a fairytale; here, you'll simply feel like you can't look enough, or take enough pictures,
The scenery of snow mountains, meadows, pools, and rainbow forests surrounds you in a 360° panorama. Step by step, day by day,
Even more incredible is the fact that there are many branches within the valley, with smaller scenes within the larger ones. Forests and meadows alternate, with water flowing between the trees, and trees growing in the water, with flowers blooming in the center of the water,
The most beautiful thing in Qinghuan Valley is the red duck pools,
Even if you've seen Jiuzhaigou and Daqing, coming to the Red Duck Pools will still shock you with the scenery,
Streamlets reflect red leaves, green trees, snow peaks, and blue skies… Step by step, one color, one scene, constantly changing and transforming,
There is no accommodation in the valley; choose a place by the lake and build your camp. You can listen to the wind blowing through the forest and harvest the most brilliant autumn starry sky,
Qinghuan Valley: Blue streams, multicolored pools of flowing springs, towering original forests, rare flowers and animals, dreamy flowing clouds and mist, romantic red and white leaves, and colorful meadows and grasslands,
Whether you love travel, photography, or hiking, this place can satisfy you!
