Some comments from users

It's a good route to take mom and dad! The rhythm is not in time, Tagong grassland is gentle and easy to stroll around, parents took a lot of photos in Honghaizi, Moshi Park has boardwalk is not tired, back to Chengdu to eat Sichuan cuisine parents also love, all the way from plateau scenery to urban fireworks, parents said this trip is worth ~

The first time I went to West Sichuan, I chose this line too! Tagong Temple is very healing to listen to the sound of turning scriptures. The geological wonders of Moshi Park are informative. The blue of Honghaizi makes people calm down. The light and shadow of Xindu Bridge are all beautiful when photographed casually. When I go back to Chengdu for a hot pot, I feel that I have loaded the beauty of western Sichuan into memory.

This route back is even more amazing than the trip! Tagong grassland in the morning can see herdsmen drive yaks, ink stone park walk into like crossing, Honghaizi mirror lake can shoot large reflection, Xinduqiao morning fog has not dispersed when the super fairy, finally back to Chengdu nibble a rabbit head, western Sichuan romance and fireworks are occupied ~

Focus on praising Moshi Park and Honghaizi! The color of inkstone will become too magical. It will be cold on sunny days and gentle on rainy days. Honghaizi is purer than many online red lakes. Without messy facilities, it will be quiet and beautiful. With Tagong's holy mountain and Chengdu's delicious food, this line will not step on thunder with eyes closed!
