Want to experience the ultimate Sichuan winter? The G318, China's most beautiful scenic highway, draped in silver, invites you to a feast of ice and snow.

This corridor of landscapes, connecting the secret realms of Sichuan and Tibet, encompasses astonishment, danger, uniqueness, beauty, majesty, and grandeur, with added purity and magnificence in winter.

Along the way, there are high mountains and valleys, grasslands and lakes, glaciers and snow-capped peaks, as well as the magical experience of "sunlit golden mountains" – the stable plateau climate in winter, with a high percentage of sunny days, makes it the best season to view this spectacle.

The cultural charm adds color to the winter journey. The Tibetan villages emit faint smoke from their chimneys, the aroma of butter tea intertwines with the crisp air, and in the lively rhythm of the Guozhuang dance, one can feel the pure essence of a plateau winter.
