[2025 Pan'an Attraction] Travel Guide for Cliff Village (Updated Jun)

Friends, I've unearthed an exhilarating self-drive destination near Hangzhou—Panyan Cliff Village, located right on the Zhezhong Sichuan-Tibet Highway. It's a real-life "Castle in the Sky"! 🚗Navigation: Simply search for "Panyan Cliff Village." However, a friendly warning: the winding mountain roads are like a real-life Mount Akina racing track. If you're not an experienced driver, I strongly advise against driving yourself. Stay focused, use your horn frequently to alert oncoming traffic, and drive cautiously. But as you navigate the mountain peaks and clouds, the thrilling and exciting feeling is truly intoxicating! 💡Travel tips: When you come here for a self-drive tour, besides the Cliff Village, the surrounding Zhezhong Sichuan-Tibet Highway is also worth exploring. The scenery along the way is picturesque, and every photo is a masterpiece. Remember to fill up your gas tank, as the signal in the mountainous area is unstable. Download offline maps in advance. If you're prone to carsickness, be sure to prepare motion sickness medication beforehand.
