[Strategic details]

The first day of the journey is full of time, can enjoy the relaxing rhythm of tourism, walking in the Qiang Culture Corridor, you can play with the rich scenic spots or scenic spots. Such as Radish Village, Mutuo Qiang Village, Pingtou Qiang Village, Black Tiger Qiang Village, Maoxian Qiang Cultural Museum, Qiang City, etc. For the tourists who are deeply interested in Qiang people, the suggested scenic spots are the Radish Village and the Qiang Culture Museum. For tourists who prefer scenery, Heihuqiang Village is worth recommending.

Among the above scenic spots or scenic spots, it is suggested to choose two items. In particular, it is pointed out that Mutou Qiangzhai is very close to Pingtou Qiangzhai and can be chosen as one of the two.

Food along Maoxian National Highway 213, called "King of Mountain Vegetables" hotel is more distinctive, for food enthusiasts, you can find this restaurant on the left side of National Highway 213 after crossing Maoxian County.

Tourist strategy of the 2nd day

Songpinggou

[Strategic details]

At about 8:00 a.m., I started to walk upstream and enjoy the scenery of Songpinggou.

Visitors living in Bailazhai can start from the Upper Bailahai Sea (a little farther away visitors need to drive to the parking lot near Shenfu Villa), walk along the trestle road, and then take a sightseeing bus into the right ditch (Shuimogou) after Baishihai Service Station to visit the scenic spots such as Mohai, Pearl Beach Falls, Colorful Pools and Changhai.

Visitors who live in Waerburg will drive to Baishihai Service Station. After stopping, they will take a sightseeing bus to visit the right ditch (Shuimogou), and then visit the scenic spots such as Mohai, Pearl Beach Falls, Colorful Pools and Changhai. After returning from the service station along the sightseeing trestle road, into the virgin forest, play with waterfalls, the Baila Sea and other classic scenic spots.

The morning play time is about 5 hours, about 13:00 to end the trip, back to the accommodation for lunch. Return after a moderate rest in the afternoon.

During the Red Leaf Festival, there are also some games in the afternoon. It is suggested to go to Waerbao to Diaogongzhai to enjoy the red leaves. At about 3 o'clock, it is considered the best time for photographers to appreciate the red leaves. The red leaves in the ditch are continuous, and the sunshine is projected from the two mountains. The heartening pictures are often presented between the houses, streams, valleys and peaks.

It's about 17:00 at the latest, and it's about 20:00 to go back to Chengdu.

Another Plan of the 2-day Tour Strategy

In the above scheme, tourists can also adjust the itinerary of the first day and the next day, starting from Chengdu around 8:00 a.m., arriving at the scenic spot around 12:00 a.m., after lunch, the scenic spot will finish the tour around 17:00.

During the Red Leaf Season, the next morning I went to Waerbao to Diaogongzhai to enjoy the red leaves. At noon I returned to my accommodation to have dinner. Then I started my return journey. I decided to visit other scenic spots or scenic spots along the route flexibly according to the time.
