6-Day Sichuan Adventure Tour with Yala Snow Mountain

Western Sichuan's Golden Circle

You probably already know Chengdu for its giant pandas. But did you know that there is a large area to the west of Chengdu (western Sichuan) that is a paradise for China's adventurers and photographers? The stunning landscapes and rich Tibetan culture attract travelers to explore this amazing area.

Starting from Chengdu, take a 6-day trip to discover incredible western Sichuan, including snowclad mountains, forests, grasslands, and Tibetan villages. Be one of the first to journey into beautiful Yala Snow Mountain Scenic Area. Before tourists could just get a glance from far away Tagong Grassland, but now we can see it up close!

Tour 'Wow' Points

Discover the Less-Known but Fabulous Yala Snow Mountain

See sacred Yala Snow Mountain up close, and feel the stillness of time and space during the hiking. Its virgin peak has never been climbed. A newly-opened scenic area, its beauty is recognized but not spoilt by crowds.

Explore the Real Hometown of Wild Pandas

Visit the less crowded Wolong Panda Center. Then embark on a hike through a picturesque alpine meadow located in the Wolong Nature Reserve.

Indulge in the Scenery of the Valley of the Eastern Alps

Explore Siguniang ('Four Sisters') Mountain to capture the beautiful natural views of peaks, lakes, streams, and forests. Enjoy the feeling of being in the embrace of spectacular and wild nature.

Immerse Yourself in the Tibetan Culture

Feel the spirit of Tibetan Buddhism in a monastery located by the great snow mountain. Skip the commercial Tibetan village and discover the true Tibetan lifestyle in the authentic one.

Enjoy a Picnic on the Grassland

Stroll on the Tagong Grassland and set a little camp right by a stream. Enjoy a hotpot or steaks in the open air.

Stray into Another Planet

Visit Moshi Park, a hidden treasure that is not known by the public. Be amazed by a stone forest that cannot be found in any other part of the world.
