Parent-child tour-a trip to western Sichuan

? It is the happiest thing for a family to take their son to travel every summer. My son said he wanted to see the grassland. I looked at the map and finally chose to go to western Sichuan, Zoige grassland-Huahu-Bifengxia, which lasted for 6 days. I bought a high-speed rail ticket online in advance and booked a hotel. This trip is quite unstable, and I have to change hotels every day. Considering the grassland climate, our two boxes are full of clothes and shoes.

? Day 1: Take the train from Wuhan High-speed Railway to Chengdu. The train at 8: 00 a.m. 15 at night 18: 20, and it takes 10 hour. After arriving at Chengdu North Railway Station, take a taxi to the hotel. Western Sichuan is a long way and unfamiliar with the local mountain roads, which is not suitable for self-help travel. I chose a travel agency to charter a tour, which saved me the worries of transportation and accommodation. /kloc-take a taxi to Kuanzhai Lane for dinner around 0/9: 30. Kuanzhai Lane is the only remaining ancient street in the Qing Dynasty in Chengdu, which consists of three parallel old city streets, namely, wide alley, narrow alley and well alley, and the quadrangle community between them. It not only has the characteristics of folk houses in western Sichuan in the south, but also has the connotation of Manchu and Mongolian culture in the north. It is the last relic of the urban pattern of "Millennium Town" in old Chengdu. As the most famous landmark in Chengdu, Kuanzhai Lane has witnessed the history and changes of Chengdu, and it is also the exhibition area of Chengdu's slow life. At night in Kuanzhai Lane, the lights are brightly lit, tourists are weaving, and every Sichuan restaurant is bursting. Although the price is more expensive than outside, it still can't stop the enthusiasm of the delicious guy.

The next day: gather at 7: 30 in the morning and take a bus with different passengers to Hongyuan grassland in Aba Prefecture. Passing through Dujiangyan, Yingxiu and Wenchuan, you can see the natural scenery of western Sichuan in the car. After arriving at Qiang Village, Tao Ping, where Tibetan and Qiang people live in Oriental Castle, you can get off the bus and go there by yourself. Feel the ancient Qiang culture, March in the maze of Gu Xiang, appreciate the exquisite ancient Qiang architectural art, climb the Millennium Tower, and taste Qiang barbecue mutton skewers and potato skewers.

? After reaching the peak at an altitude of 3000m, the bus stopped at the peak of Marcand. Tourists get off the bus and move freely. When they looked up, the air began to thin, and the most obvious change was that they felt a little cold.

? Pass through Gulgou, through the Zhegu Mountain Tunnel, enter Brush Ma Lukou in Hongyuan County, pass through Brush Temple where the Red Army joins forces in the Long March, and reach the tea town of Liangzi, the watershed between the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. This is the main tourist attraction, and many tourists are taking pictures.

? Enter Hongyuan county at an altitude of 4000 meters. After the Red Army's Long March, we walked through the Longriba Prairie and came to Hongyuan Moon Bay Scenic Area. The river on the grassland bends like a crescent moon, hence the name "Moon Bay". The road passes through a mound. Below the mound is a grass beach in Ma Pingchuan with a drop of about 50 meters. Nature lays out the scenery on this grass beach, drawing one curved arc after another. When we arrived, the wind was very strong, clouds covered the sun, overlooking the grass beach, and Tianshui was magnificent.

After visiting the Moon Bay Scenic Area, the bus went to Hongyuan County to solve the problem of dinner and accommodation. Aba Prefecture belongs to a relatively poor area in western Sichuan. Eating, drinking, housing and transportation are not as good as Chengdu. The diet and living conditions are very poor, so we should adapt to altitude sickness. It is recommended to bring more clothes and snacks, as well as toiletries and slippers. Besides, you should prepare more small change. It costs 1 yuan to go to the toilet after entering western Sichuan. Although the toilet is smelly and dirty, you should be prepared mentally.

? Day 3: Depart at 7: 30, and visit Jiuqu Yellow River First Bay and Huahu Lake. It began to rain in Hongyuan County in the middle of the night, and the temperature in the morning was 5. The wind and rain are very cold. The tour guide said that it is normal for the grassland to be cloudy or sunny. After arriving at the first bay of the Yellow River Jiuqu, the tickets are self-care. Because of the rain and cold, I didn't see the legendary beauty, only the endless grassland.

? Go to China's most beautiful wetland grassland-Zoige Flower Lake Scenic Area, and take care of your own tickets. It rained harder and harder, so I bought a raincoat and a wool shawl. Tibetan and Qiang wool shawls are expensive to buy because of the great difference in quality and price. Huahu Lake is named after the water is full of flowers. Hundreds of acres of aquatic plants around are "plateau wetland biodiversity nature reserve"-known as "the lungs of the earth". The nature reserve is dominated by black-necked cranes, mainly looking at grass beaches and rivers.

? At noon, the sun came out, and the tour guide said that you can go cycling and taste yak hot pot, per person 150 yuan. For those who have never ridden a horse, galloping on the grassland is everyone's dream. It doesn't matter if you can't ride a horse. There is a Tibetan brother in the back, so you don't have to worry about falling. At first, I was a little scared. I grabbed the saddle tightly and the horse ran away. It was very exciting! I shouted excitedly, fortunately, Tibetans don't understand Chinese, otherwise they would laugh to death!

? Eat yak hot pot in the tent.

? Stay in Chuanzhu Temple at night and enjoy the Tibetan and Qiang party with rich customs. Tickets for Tibetan and Qiang Party 150 yuan/person. The party was good. The songs and dances were performed by the Tibetan and Qiang people. There are many self-funded tourism projects in Tibetan and Qiang areas, some of which are small in scale and expensive, but it doesn't matter considering the hard life and inconvenient transportation of Tibetan and Qiang people.

? Day 4: Go to Songpan Ancient City, the historic city of Chuanzhusi, which is the biggest shopping spot. Tibetan handicrafts, silver ornaments, Tibetan medicinal materials, Tibetan seven treasures and Tibetan dzi beads are all kinds, but of course the prices are not cheap. Medicinal materials are more expensive, and it costs more than 10 thousand to buy one. The guide of tourist attractions will lobby vigorously, saying that it is a specialty here and it is worth the money. I believe everyone will have the impulse to buy. I also bought plateau gastrodia elata on impulse, with a price of more than 500 yuan per gram of 2.6 yuan. I thought it was too expensive and embarrassed not to, so I lost 300 yuan. Yak meat is not cheap either. If you like to eat or give away, it is recommended to buy small bags, and buy some for each taste.

Starting from Aba Prefecture, after nearly two hours of traffic jam due to rock collapse, the tour guide said that the yak horn comb here is famous at home and abroad, and the average price of a yak horn comb is 50 yuan, and the price is set according to the production process. Yak comb is really good. Except that it is made of yak horn, it is no different from ordinary horn comb in appearance. There is a special product of Munizhai near the shopping spot, and most people rush to taste the food. Authentic cold noodles, potato skewers, mixed with cumin powder and pepper powder, are very refreshing.

Day 5: Depart from Chengdu Bai Furong at 7: 30 and go to Bifengxia via Chengwenqiong Expressway, which takes about 3 hours. At noon 1 1 arrive at the gate of Bifengxia Scenic Area. The tour guide said to put the luggage in the farmhouse travel agency first, and then go to Bifengxia Wildlife Park in the afternoon after lunch. Admission to Bifengxia is for adults 150 yuan, with half price for children. Student ID cards and senior citizen ID cards can be discounted. In addition, 35 yuan's food in the safari park is not good for everyone. The safari park is very big. It takes 4-5 hours to enter the park from 12.

? In addition to personally experiencing the stimulation of feeding tigers and black bears, you can also have close contact with deer, sheep and horses, and watch the aquatic crawling ditch, monkey valley, bird paradise, ostrich free-range area, red panda free-range area, parrot free-range area, crocodile pond, snake ditch and gourmet animal area. There are three animal performance halls in the middle, which are very popular with children. Compared with city zoos, wild zoos are more like virgin forests. There are few artificial carvings of a flower and a tree, and most of them remain the same. Rare animals, in particular, satisfy children's curiosity and are more interesting and knowledgeable than what the book says. In the process of interacting with animals, let children learn to love and protect animals from an early age, and understand that saving animals on the verge of despair is also protecting human beings.

? After dinner, I will attend a song and dance party. The ticket is for Bifengxia Wildlife Park, and I will pay 80 yuan myself. This song and dance party is similar to Tibetan and Qiang people's songs and dances, but the difference is that it has increased participation. In addition to Tibetans and Qiang people, there are also large-scale concerts for the audience, all of which sing classic old songs and push the party to a climax. The accommodation in Bifengxia is also very poor. Hot water is needed in the mountains, there are many mosquitoes, the bedding is wet, disposable toiletries are not provided, and there is no boiled water to drink. You have to bring your own. The diet in Bifengxia mountain area is slightly better than that in plateau area, which is more suitable for the taste of Han people.

? Day 6: Meet at 8 o'clock and visit Bifengxia Panda Base. Ya 'an Bifeng Gorge is the largest breeding base for giant pandas. To get to the gate at your own expense 15 yuan takes the battery car in the scenic spot to the panda base. It takes about 90 minutes to visit the panda base. After visiting the scenic spots, you can see Hezhou, Wild Duck Beach, Tianlong Lingyun, Bailongtan Waterfall, Hanging Coffin, Finger-stitched Tianfeng, Teardrop Waterfall and Melaleuca Waterfall. While enjoying the wonders of nature, enjoy the fresh air of "enriching the lungs". Finally, you can take the Qingyun ladder to 88.8 meters. It takes about 120 minutes to visit Bifengxia Natural Scenic Area.

? After lunch, visit Erxian Bridge and Laojie in Shangli Ancient Town, a famous historical and cultural town in Sichuan, and feel the folk customs of the town. Bifengxia has beautiful natural scenery, quiet and elegant, and is worth visiting. Shangli ancient town is a typical rural scenery in western Sichuan. If you have enough time, you can have tea in the teahouse, and the price is not expensive. A big pot of tea is just 35 yuan. The twist in the ancient town is a specialty, crisp and sweet, as well as ice powder, which is sold everywhere.

? During the six-day journey, my son had a good time. He not only experienced the hard life of the Tibetan people, but also enjoyed the great rivers and mountains, got in close contact with animals, and watched the giant panda at close range, which was full of harvest! Traveling with children not only broadens our knowledge, but also broadens our horizons. Travel is the happiest time to witness a family loving each other!

Note: When entering the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, altitude sickness will occur. It is said that Rhodiola oral liquid is bought in Chengdu drugstore to prevent high reaction. Buying in Tibetan areas is extremely expensive. When taking children to Tibetan areas, we should pay attention to safety and observe Tibetan customs and habits. The temperature in the grassland is low, so warm clothes, umbrellas and raincoats should be prepared. Eating and drinking in Tibetan areas can't compare with Chengdu. Take mineral water and prepare beef jerky, raisins, biscuits and bread for later use.
