Haha, Sichuan is still relatively cold in winter, mainly because of the basin climate.
Let’s not talk about Chengdu. It’s easier to get to know, has good food, and a lot of leisure options, such as ancient towns, bowls of tea, Sichuan opera, etc.
Just bring enough money.
Leshan is not as valuable as Mount Emei for sightseeing. It is just a giant Buddha. Mount Emei has more sightseeing options. But now is the rainy season. If you go to the mountain, you need to bring down jackets (you can rent them on the road) and book a hotel early so that you can see the snow scenery.
The sunrise depends on your character.
You can also soak in hot springs at the foot of the mountain.
There are also Taoist and Buddhist cultural tourism.
It’s just a day’s drive up and down.
Hailuogou and Jiuzhaigou are mainly natural scenery, so it depends on what you want to see. In the spring, you can see the fresh green, in the summer, you can see the flowers and birds, in the autumn, you can see the yellow leaves on the mountains, and in the winter, you can see the snow scenery.
If you want to go to Xiling, you can take a shuttle bus from Chengdu to Dayi County and transfer there. It’s not a rush, but it will be very cold in December. It’s usually a place to escape the summer heat.
If you want to travel to a warm place in winter, you can also consider Xichang, a small spring city. It is known as a city inhabited by spring. You can get warm sunshine all year round. There is also the Yi ethnic specialty delicacy roast suckling pig (highly recommended, give
One of my most impressive food), traveling to Qionghai, etc.
By the way, in a few days it will be the Year of the Yi People in Xichang, which will be very lively.
You will probably be very tired after walking all the places above.
It's best to make some choices, but Sichuan is full of beautiful scenery, and you won't be disappointed wherever you go.
