When spring comes, about from the middle of March, the pear flowers in Danba area start to bloom gradually. Tourists can see snow-white flowers along S211 from Jinchuan County to Danba County. When autumn comes, about from September to late October, the red leaves, Chinese name as "Cailin (彩林)", are favorite for photographers. In order to enjoy the most beautiful autumn scene and take much more pictures, many photographers would like to modify their trip and stay there for more several days.

Zhonglu is known as "the place which gods and people yearn for" in Tibetan language and has over a long history over thousand years. The Tibetan-style houses are reserved for generations. The stone watchtowers which have stood on the tops of the mountains for hundreds of years are all architectural features unique to Zhonglu.
