Two-day self-driving tour in Deyang

First stop: 1, mu of golden rice fields in Pingwu

In the north of Deyang, I met Gaocun, a "land of fish and rice" hidden in Pingwu County. In late autumn, thousands of acres of paddy fields here are golden, and the whole paddy "plated" the countryside into dazzling gold.

ripe rice, with a bumper harvest in sight, has a bird's eye view from the air. Colorful rice fields are like a "palette", as if laying a golden carpet on the ground.

Golden paddy fields, beautiful ridges, green hills and houses complement each other, forming a wonderful pastoral autumn scenery painting, which is super beautiful at any time!

Second stop: enjoy red leaves and colorful forests in Laohegou, Pingwu.

with a total area of more than 11 square kilometers, Laohegou Nature Reserve is an important habitat for wild animals such as giant panda, golden monkey, takin and forest musk deer in Pingwu.

In autumn, deep pools and clear waters flow slowly, and the mountains and colorful forests are dazzling, and the air is fresh, just like a paradise.

My eyes are full of strange mountains and rocks. They are tall and straight, and those red leaves are draped over these peaks like veils. The atmosphere is exquisite, and they are not as shy as Xiaojiabiyu.

when the weather is fine, you can see the smoke around the mountainside, and you can vaguely see a gorgeous and beautiful scene behind it.

The third stop: Yaocong Mountain in Pingwu to see the sunrise and the sea of clouds.

Starting from Pingwu County, walk along the winding mountain of Pingwei Road, with large green bar forests on both sides of the road; The leaves turn orange and crimson. It's spectacular from a distance!

The red leaves here are not only bright and eye-catching, but also distinct in layers and colors, which are in harmony with other evergreen trees in the forest. The scenery in front of us is like a fairyland.

On the winding mountain road of Yaocong Mountain, you can see the panoramic view of red leaves, sunrise and sea of clouds at the same time. It takes about 4 minutes to drive from the county seat to Yaocongshan observation deck, and the scenery along the way.

Pingwu cuisine

Buckwheat jelly

This is one of the most famous snacks in Pingwu. Buckwheat, a local alpine grain, is used as raw material with seasoning, which is hot and sour and delicious. It's a bit like rice paste, but it tastes crisper than it.

Wulong bacon

The villagers' own pigs are fed with raw grain and pig grass and smoked with slow fire. It tastes tender, fat but not greasy, and there is a touch of game.

dried tofu in Shikan

Shikan is a place in Nanba Town, Pingwu. The most famous is dried bean curd. You can eat it directly, fry it, or cut it into shredded cold salad.

Potato Bazin

Potato cake is a special food for Baima Tibetans in Pingwu. Wash and peel the potatoes, put them in a stone trough and beat until the mashed potatoes become sticky.

Divide it into small pieces, directly add local sauerkraut and other materials to cook, and it becomes a smooth and delicious food.
