In western Sichuan, there is a mysterious and charming land with magnificent natural scenery and unique cultural customs, which attracts curious people to explore like a magnet.When you learn that the Western Sichuan Grand Loop connects China's two most important national highways, G318 and G317, you will decide without hesitation to embark on this motorcycle journey with us.

We will depart from Chengdu in the early morning, before the city has fully woken up. Going west along the G318 National Highway, the scenery along the way gradually changes from the bustling city to the tranquility of the countryside.After passing through the rainy city of Ya'an, we will arrive at Luding.The Luding Bridge spans the turbulent Dadu River. The iron cables sway slightly in the wind, and each one seems to be telling the story of that magnificent history.We will arrive in Kangding in the evening. This small town is famous for a song called "Kangding Love Song".

The next target is Zheduo MountainThe winding mountain road is full of twists and turns, and every bend is full of challenges.After crossing this mountain, we will reach Xinduqiao,which is known as the "world of light and shadow". When you arrive here at dusk, the golden sunlight shines on the vast grassland, yaks and sheep graze leisurely, and the mountains in the distance are dyed orange-red, forming a picturesque scene with the scattered Tibetan houses.

Continue along G318, and you will see intoxicating plateau scenery all the way. Litang, one of the highest cities in the world, is more than 4,000 meters above sea level. The poems of Cangyang Gyatso give it a romantic and mysterious color.The scenery becomes more beautiful on the way from Litang to Daocheng. Under the azure sky, there are endless grasslands and snow-capped mountains, as if you are in a fairyland. The Tibetan villages along the way are full of a strong atmosphere of life.

Yading will be one of the most anticipated places in your trip. In the morning, we will ride motorcycles to the Yading scenic spot. You will be shocked by the magnificent scenery.The three sacred mountains of Xiannairi, Yangmaiyong and Xianuoduoji tower into the clouds, with their peaks covered with white snow, shining with sacred light under the sunlight.The Milk Sea and the Five Colors Sea are like two shining gems inlaid in the mountains. The water is crystal clear and the colors change with the light, making it look like a dream.In Yading, you will feel the wonders of nature and the magical charm of the land of western Sichuan.

After leaving Yading, we will take you through Litang again and then set off on the road to Xinlong. This section of the road begins to turn into G317. Compared with G318, the scenery of G317 is more primitive and rugged.

From Xinlong to Ganzi, and then to Seda, the scenery along the way is beautiful. Ganzi is a city full of religious atmosphere, with numerous temples and pagodas standing side by side, giving people a strong sense of religious culture.Seda is a place that shocks the soul. When you see the red ocean from afar - the red monks' houses all over the mountains, your heart will be deeply touched.
