Recommended by National Geographic! A treehouse homestay in the snowy mountains of Western Sichuan.

Located in Songpan, Aba Prefecture, with views of Xuebaoding Snow Mountain, 7 cloud treehouses are nestled beside a primeval forest. This Western Sichuan homestay, recommended by National Geographic for a long time, is surrounded by snow-capped mountains, forests, streams, and alpine meadows. At this moment, it feels like a fairytale world in the Alps... .. This is a simple village of the Ando Tibetans. The next morning, I was surprised to encounter a spring snow! Watching the treehouse and forest covered in snow, what words can describe this experience? I think it should be "beautiful, healing, romantic." A secluded but equally beautiful place in Western Sichuan. . This is not just a homestay! It's more like a niche travel destination! Horse riding on the lawn, watching the snowy mountains from the treehouse, drinking tea and chatting by the fireplace, hiking in the primeval forest to pick mushrooms, and enjoying yak hot pot under the starry sky. ..□ Homestay: Light and Cloud · Xuebaoding Homestay Address: Shangnami Village, Songpan County, Aba Prefecture, Sichuan Province Transportation: 5 hours, 300 km by car. We recommend taking the train to save time and effort! Route: Chengdu East Station - Zhenjiangguan Station, 1.5 hours, 116 per person; after arriving at the station, the housekeeper will drive you 1 hour to the homestay. The road from the train station to the homestay is a dirt road, 50 per person, 200 per car, and the car can seat 6 people! Weekend 2-day tour itinerary: Day 1: Chengdu - Zhenjiangguan - transfer to a van - homestay Day 2: Forest hike - horse riding - swing - homestay, then head to the train station - Chengdu

📍Planning a Trip to Western Sichuan (川西) from June to October? Save this 💡 Just got back from an unforgettable summer road trip across Western Sichuan – and trust me, this region is straight out of a postcard. If you’re heading there anytime from May to October, here’s what you need to know: 🗓 Best Time to Visit May–October is golden! Less rain, blooming wildflowers, snow mountains, and clear blue skies. Avoid public holidays for the best experience. 🌡 Pack Smart Daytime sunburn, nighttime chills! Bring layers, sunscreen, and altitude sickness meds – you’ll thank me later. 😅 🗺 Route Tips Scenic spots are far apart, so plan your itinerary well and avoid rushed “drive-by sightseeing”. Give yourself time to soak in the beauty. When driving early in the morning above 4000m, it’s common to see snow even in summer! 📍Must-See Stops ✨ 黄龙风景区 – Famous for its terraced calcified ponds that look like jade steps under the sun. It’s like walking into a surreal painting! 📷✨ ✨ 九寨沟 – Must-visit during summer when waterfalls and lakes are at their fullest ✨ 四姑娘山 – Like walking among four snow-capped goddesses. ✨ 康定情歌风景区 – A dreamy blend of green pastures, streams, and local song-and-dance shows. ✨ 稻城亚丁 – A sacred wonderland with snowy peaks, turquoise lakes & fairytale forests. ✨ 冷噶措 – A hidden gem dubbed “the tear of Gongga Snow Mountain.”. ✨ 格聂神山 – Remote, pure, and untouched – nature at its most majestic. Other highlights- • Zheduoshan 折多山: Strong winds, fast-moving fog—wear a hat! • Tianlu 18 Bends 九转十八弯: Curvy mountain pass with dramatic switchbacks. • Kazila Mountain 卡子拉山: Beautiful highland scenery. • Qisehai 七彩海 (Seven-Colored Lake): Summer destination with great views. • Letong Ancient Town 勒通古镇: Cultural stop with preserved Tibetan-style houses. 📸 Photography Tips Bring your brightest outfit! Vivid colors pop beautifully against snow mountains and turquoise lakes. Polarized sunnies are a must. 🕶️ 👟 Footwear matters Some spots require light hiking on slippery paths—wear good shoes! 🎒This is not just a trip—it’s a soul-refreshing journey through one of China’s most magical regions. 💙 #chinatravel #稻城亚丁 #康定情歌 #黄龙风景区 #四姑娘山 #318川藏线 #川西旅行攻略
