Is it dangerous to go to western Sichuan in July and August?

It is not dangerous to go to go on road trip in western Sichuan in August.

September is the best month for self-driving. The so-called western Sichuan line has two routes, namely, it starts from Chengdu and goes to Wenchuan and Lixian in turn, belonging to the northern part of the national highway 3 17 Sichuan-Tibet line; Along National Highway 3 18, Nanchuan-Tibet Line. The beginning of August can be said to be the rainy season, with high rainfall frequency and heavy rainfall, and the risk of traveling on the road is relatively high.

August is the peak season for tourism along the Sichuan-Tibet line in western Sichuan, and go on road trip is relatively safe in general. However, in the rainy season in August, it should be noted that, generally speaking, the temperature rises gradually in August, and the snow in mountainous areas along the Sichuan-Tibet line highway 3 18 in western Sichuan melts in a large area, resulting in frequent precipitation. Natural disasters such as landslides, mudslides and landslides are on the rise, reminding tourists to pay attention to dangerous sections and drive carefully.

Matters needing attention in western Sichuan tourism:

1. Regarding dialects, Chengdu people don't like to speak Mandarin. Sichuan dialect is not difficult to understand, but it still brings some problems to ask for directions. For people like me who don't like reading maps, it's best to buy a bus brochure when I get to the local area, and write down the names of buses that can reach the hotel in advance, as well as the way to take the bus from the hotel to the main station.

2. The road conditions in western Sichuan are not very good, so we should arrange the time well. For example, it took me 13 hours from Sichuan-Danba * *, and the car had to detour from Chengdu-Ya 'an-Luding because of the road construction in Balangshan, and I stopped at a checkpoint 1 hour on the way, which delayed a lot of time. Fortunately, I prepared snacks.
