Annual Travel Recap | The Best Scenery on the Road: Every rest area on the Genie South Route is worth stopping for

This year, I've driven around Guangxi, visited Qinghai and Gansu three times, and spent two months on the Sichuan-Tibet and Yunnan-Tibet ancient Tea Horse Road themed trip, where Mr. Dog and I have seen countless beautiful landscapes on the road. Yes, the essence of a road trip is to record the scenery along the way. Next, I will introduce to my friends the scenery along the Genie South Route, which is the best scenery we've encountered on the road this year. Sixth Self-Drive Trip in Western Sichuan Whether the weather was good, the season was right, or the people were the same, every moment of the journey on the Genie South Route that day was memorable. — Travel Notes by Mr. Dog and Cai Cai Juan Er Here we saw— ❶ The clear Genie massif From the first pass, Tiejianshan, on the Genie South Route, the Genie massif greets the highway, accompanying the journey of self-driving tourists with the changing scenery by the roadside, making it fascinating and lingering. At every rest area, we stopped to look up at the sacred mountain with a calm heart. ❷ The colorful undulating meadows The undulating meadows under the snow-capped mountains have their own splendid colors in each season. We stepped onto this vast land during the transition between autumn and winter: the golden color of the meadows was still flowing freely, indicating that the new snow of winter was eager to come and cuddle. Every step we took felt like wandering in a dream. ❸ The bright large and small lakes Upon closer observation, between the snow and the wilderness, there are large and small lakes hidden. As the light and shadows flow, they synchronize with the colors of the sky and interpret them with bright hues. We, from a distance, took in the performance of the lakes, imprinting it in our eyes and hearts. 📌 Practical Q&A for Self-Driving Travel ❶ Q: Is it convenient to stop along the Genie South Route?
