Surrounding the Sichuan Basin are free-growing mountains, and there are trees that grow up on the mountains, and most of the trees form forests, especially in the west and north of the basin, where the forests are full of mountains and plains, which are dense and straight.
The autumn colorful forest always stretches slowly from the west to the north, stretching the autumn vigorously. Those who like to be fresh will first go to places with higher latitudes and higher altitudes to create magnificent pictures, and then gradually follow the terrain to the east and south to the plains, forming a series of works of colorful forests.
The colorful forests in Ganzi autumn are very attractive. The forests are fully dyed, and the main colors of red and yellow are fully refined into a color spectrum, which is colorful and coordinated.

The autumn colors of Jiaona Village in Luhuo County are golden and charming. It is a special experience to enjoy autumn in Jiaona Village. The Daqu River in the village flows unhurriedly, the Bengke houses are stretched and scattered in the valley, the red-red Russian fruit hangs heavily on the branches, and the colorful forest wraps the sunny side of the whole mountain, especially the station. Looking up from the platform of the Jiaona Temple, you can have a panoramic view of the blue sky, white clouds, meadows, woods, villages, and Tibetan houses. Living in the village, chatting with the common people, walking along the mountain road, watching quietly and savoring carefully. The colors of the woods are gradually changing and spectacular, and the inner feelings are rich but calm.

Jiaona temple incense is a typical Tibetan incense, which is made of 108 kinds of high-quality fragrant woods, precious medicinal materials and ancient methods. There are many categories.
Walking down the mountain from the Jiaona Temple, about 18:00, I was lucky to meet a rainbow, and it was a double rainbow. I was pleasantly surprised:
It's a pity that the temperature this year is on the high side, and the color of the woods began to change when we rushed to the woods before the National Day. Although the colorful forest didn't have the best time, we saw a rainbow, a double rainbow, when we walked down the mountain from the Jiaona Temple! God is fair and has sent big surprises; nature is inclusive, and the growing forest is magical, and it will be different every year.
Starting from Jiaona Village and continuing along 317, you can arrive at Wuming Buddhist College in Seda County or Dege Sutra Printing House in Dege County (a treasure house of Tibetan culture under the snow-capped mountains).
