The Gods Mountains in Western Sichuan, a must-see snow mountain landscape in life
Some people prefer mountains to the sea. In the past few years since the epidemic, we have yearned even more for mountains, rivers, lakes and seas. The natural scenery of mountains and rivers allows people to escape from the worries of life. If the mountain does not come to me, I will run towards it.
There are such a number of sacred mountains in western Sichuan, as well as a number of viewing spots for viewing the sacred mountains. If there is to be a snow-capped mountain sunrise or sunset in life, it may be in western Sichuan.
Gongga Snow Mountain is located south of Kangding, with an altitude of 7556 meters. It is the highest peak in Sichuan as we know it. It is known as the King of Shu Mountain and is also called Minya Gongga. Gongga means "white iceberg" or "highest snow mountain". Gongga is haunting. People have found many excellent viewing spots in all directions of Gongga Snow Mountain. Niubei Mountain, Wanggangping, Sirentong, and Huajian Mountain on the east slope are suitable for watching the sunrise; Lenggacuo, Zimei Pass, Yuzixi, Yaha Pass, Kangding Airport, etc. on the west slope are suitable for watching the sunset.
Recently, the most popular scenic spot on Dongpo is Niubei Mountain. A well-developed scenic spot, the viewing point on the top of the mountain can be reached directly by bus. Compared with the difficulty of climbing over mountains and ridges to photograph Gonggar a few years ago, it is simply a step to the sky. The top of the mountain is covered with tents, and the largest 360-degree viewing platform in Asia has been built. Indeed, this is the best place to watch the Gonggar sunrise. Living in the sea of clouds and sleeping under the stars, apart from being a little expensive and the infrastructure needs to be improved, the other experiences are really shocking.
The most popular viewing platform on the west slope is Lenggacuo. The road to Lenggacuo is only open every year. You need to drive, then motorcycle, and then walk to reach Lenggacuo. It is destined to be completed by only a few people. Travel experience. Lenggacuo may be the closest perspective to Gongga, where you can feel the overlooking and oppression brought by the huge mountains.
Yala Snow Mountain, also called Yala Snow Mountain. Its mountain shape is similar to that of Kailash. Within a few dozen kilometers, only the Yala Snow Mountain stands sharply. Someone described Yala Snow Mountain in this way, which made me even more curious. He said: From Tagong Grassland, Yala Snow Mountain is in the shape of a lotus throne; from Bamei Town, it is in the shape of a crown; from Nonge Mountain, it is the image of a sitting Buddha; from Yak Valley, it is like a Crouching white yak. What kind of snow-capped mountains are they, so dreamlike, I really want to see their true appearance.
Among the many scenic spots, the most crowded one is the Muya Golden Pagoda on the edge of Tagong Grassland. It is less than 1 km away from Tagong Town, and the surrounding infrastructure for tourism, accommodation, dining and so on is relatively complete. You can often see many drones flying in the sky. When the weather is good, Muya Jinta echoes the Yala Snow Mountain, which is a dream photo for travelers here.
Yala Snow Mountain Scenic Area is a scenic spot very similar to Daocheng Yading. It is located at the junction of Daofu, Danba and Kangding. With Yala Snow Mountain as the center point, it circles a group of snow mountains, lakes, Areas where forests and meadows exist. The lowest altitude here is 3,400 meters, which is almost the same as Lhasa. Most places require hiking, which is beautiful to the eyes but very tiring to the body.
On the mountainside at an altitude of 4,000 meters, there are three small and exquisite lakes, Yalayoucuo, Yalacuo, and Yariacuo. Just like the experience in Daocheng Yading, it takes almost a long time to get here. All physical strength. It takes half an hour to take the shuttle bus from the tourist center of the scenic spot to enter the scenic spot. After getting off the shuttle bus, it is a high-altitude hike of several kilometers back and forth. You can't walk too fast at all. If you carry too much weight, you'll be out of breath after just a few steps. There is a saying that the lakes in the mountains are really blue and pure, with a texture similar to that of Jiuzhaigou.
On Provincial Highway 343 east of Tagong Grassland, there is a neglected sacred mountain, Qingrao Divine Mountain. It is 14 kilometers away from Tagong Town and 50 kilometers away from Xinduqiao. You can admire the panoramic view of the snow from the observation deck next to the road, which is completely free. The vast loess land is covered with snow, and the Qingrao Shenshan Mountain with an insignificant mountain shape stands here.
In the Daocheng Aden Scenic Area, the three sacred mountains, Yangmaiyong, Xiannairi and Shanuoduoji, stand in a tripartite position. They are regarded as the patron saint mountains of Aden. The Luorong Cow Farm in the center of the scenic spot is surrounded by three sacred mountains. The mountain shape of Shanuoduoji is closest to the shape of a pyramid. Compared with his counterparts Yang Maiyong and Xiannairi, Shanuo Duoji is more sharp and resolute. Yangmaiyong is the main seat of the three holy mountains, with the same altitude as Shanuoduoji, 5958 meters.
Siguniang Mountain is surrounded by peaks that are called by relatives. Yaomei Peak, the main peak with an altitude of 6,250 meters, is the second highest peak in Sichuan Province and is known as the Queen of Shushan. At the southeast corner of Mount Siguniang is Mount Balang, which local mythology calls the old father of Mount Siguniang. In the Changping Valley of the scenic spot, there is also Grandma Peak. Closely associated with it are Dagangang Mountain, Erganguniang Mountain and Sanguniang Mountain.
The Siguniang Mountain Town at the foot of Siguniang Mountain is very prosperous, with various hotels, B&Bs, restaurants, bars, cafes, and souvenir shops all very complete. It is very pleasant to sit in the cafe, read a book and look at the snowy peaks of Siguniang Mountain. This town is perfect for a short break.
