Yangmaiyong

央迈勇

Yangmaiyong means "Manjusri Bodhisattva" in Tibetan. It is about 5,958 meters above sea level and ranks first among the Three Protectors in Buddhism. Yangmaiyong is like a girl, quiet and dignified. Standing on the top of the peak and looking back, you can see the wide valley surrounded by mountains, with forests, grasslands and streams guarding each side harmoniously, which is magnificent.

We took a shortcut through the frozen river to the introduction sign of Yangmaiyong. Today's itinerary is closely related to it. At this time, I was not in awe of walking on the ice road. I didn't know that the journey behind me would be inseparable from ice. In winter, animals hibernate. I didn't see either red fox or deer, which was a bit regretful. There are a lot of cow dung on the meadow, which has created fertile alpine pastures. Be careful to avoid it when walking. The starting point of the hike, you can see Yangmaiyong when you look up, and you can see Xianuoduoji when you look back. You can see the back of Xiannairi to the right. Surrounded by mountains, you feel small. The steep Yangmaiyong is shaped like a sharp sword. A close look at the snow-capped Yangmaiyong, 5958 meters above sea level, and the lake under the mountain has also formed a thick layer of ice. This is actually a lake, just like the Pearl Sea under Xiannairi. When it is not frozen, Yangmaiyong and the surrounding yellow leaves are completely reflected in the lake, which is also a wonder of Aden. The starting point of the caravan road, here is called a special horse, which is actually a mule. Because this place is in a sunny position, there is little snow left and the terrain is relatively flat. At that time, I really thought that the rest of the road would be like this. I also thought that we could reach the end in an hour. Why did the driver ask us to take it easy? We walked to a boulder, where many tourists stopped. This is the best place to take a photo with Yangmaiyong. Standing on the protruding boulder, the whole mountain is recorded in the camera. This is the most romantic encounter with the snow mountain during the trip. Say hello to the mountain and take a TikTok video. It is rare to have such good weather in winter, bathed in plenty of sunshine.

On the left side of the stairs we were walking on was the snow-capped peak of Yangmaiyong. We had walked from the foot of the mountain to the halfway point, and the snow-capped peak seemed to be within reach.

Yangmaiyong is 5958 meters above sea level. In Tibetan Buddhism, it is the incarnation of Manjusri Bodhisattva. It is the southern peak of the "Three Protectors" snow mountain and ranks first among the "Three Protectors". Manjusri Bodhisattva is a symbol of wisdom in Buddhism. The snow peak is like the sword of wisdom in the hand of Manjusri Bodhisattva pointing to the sky. The crystal-clear Yangmaiyong stands proudly between heaven and earth.

In 1928, Mr. Locke saw Yangmaiyong from afar in the mountains adjacent to Daocheng in Yunnan. He was impressed by its holy and noble temperament. He wrote in his diary, "It (Yangmaiyong) is the most beautiful mountain I have ever seen in the world."



Luorong Cattle Farm is the best place to appreciate Yangmaiyong, and most of Yangmaiyong's masterpieces were completed here.



On the way from Chonggu Temple to Luorong Ranch by electric car, if the weather is good, the first place you can see the full view should be Xianuoduoji. Although the weather is good today, Xianuoduoji has not appeared yet.

When riding the electric car, Xiao Kun and I were facing the direction of travel, while Hong Kun had his back to the direction of travel. On the way, the looming figure of Xia Nuo Duo Ji was always in front of the left. Continuing forward, after passing the Shengshui Gate, there was a big bend in front, and the electric car drove quickly along the bend to Luorong Ranch. At the turning point, suddenly, Yangmaiyong, which was pointing straight to the sky in the distance, rushed towards us. Although I was mentally prepared, it still brought me a "shock that was caught off guard"!

At this moment, Yangmaiyong looked like an eagle with its wings spread and its head raised high, standing proudly on the Luolong Cattle Farm, ready to soar into the sky!

Yangmaiyong means "Manjusri Bodhisattva" in Tibetan. It is the southern peak of the "Three Protectors" snow mountain, with an altitude of 5,958 meters. It ranks first among the "Three Protectors" snow mountains in Buddhism. The pure and clean Yangmaiyong stands proudly between heaven and earth. There are snow-capped mountains, steep cliffs, lakes, glaciers, grasslands, forests, and streams here, creating a quiet and peaceful world.

By freezing point |

The southern peak, Yangmaiyong, is the sacred mountain in front of Luorong Niuchang, with an altitude of 5,958 meters. It ranks first among the "Three Protectors" snow mountains in Buddhism. Yangmaiyong means "Manjusri Bodhisattva" in Tibetan. Manjusri Bodhisattva is the embodiment of wisdom in Buddhism. The snow peak is shaped like the sword of wisdom in the hand of Manjusri Bodhisattva pointing directly to the sky, crystal clear. Below the sacred peak, surrounded by mountains, there is a wide canyon, with forests, grasslands and streams guarding each side in harmony, presenting a magnificent snow-covered scenery.

Strictly speaking, Daocheng is not along National Highway 318. If we zoom in on the map with Daocheng Yading Scenic Area as the center, Daocheng is actually closer to Diqing, Yunnan. Crossing the snow-capped mountains near Yading, Pudacuo and Lugu Lake are to the south. For this reason, this Yunnan-Sichuan border area is also called the Greater Shangri-La area.

After years of construction, Daocheng County has built up a large number of tourist facilities. If you plan to travel in depth in Daocheng, you can consider using Daocheng County as a transit station. But please note: Daocheng County is actually a long way from the Yading Scenic Area. It takes nearly 70 kilometers to drive south from Daocheng County to the entrance of the Yading Scenic Area - Shangri-La Town. This is a bit like a base camp for rest before climbing. With the booming tourism industry, Shangri-La Town has long been full of hotels and hostels, and is very prosperous. At the same time, due to the limited reception capacity of Yading Village in the scenic area, most tourists actually stay in Shangri-La Town.

The entrance to the scenic area is now very large. You have to climb stairs and take elevators to get in. Entering the gate is just the beginning. You also have to take the scenic area sightseeing bus.

The scenic area sightseeing bus has a total of 4 stops, and the final stop is "Zhaguanbeng". Among them, the No. 2 stop is located in Yading Village. The accommodation conditions in the village are obviously much higher than those 7 years ago, but it is estimated that there is still some gap with Shangri-La Town. It takes 1 hour to take a bus from Shangri-La Town to Yading Village. Getting off at Zhaguanbeng is the official start of the Yading trip.

There are two tour routes in the Yading Scenic Area: the long route and the short route. The long route refers to the route from Chonggu Temple via Luorong Cow Farm to Milk Lake and Five Color Lake, and the short route refers to the route from Chonggu Temple to Pearl Lake (also called Zhuoma Lacuo). Generally speaking, it is best to leave enough time for the long route. If you walk faster, the short route can be completed in about half a day. The order of the two routes depends on your schedule. The ticket to the scenic area is valid for 48 hours and does not affect the second entry and exit.

After getting off the bus at Zhaguanbeng, the long route needs to climb a mountain road to Chonggu Temple. It takes about 10 to 20 minutes for different people to have different physical strength. This road is a must for both the long and short routes. Go up along the stream, with very beautiful plateau forest scenery on both sides. When you reach the location of Chonggu Temple, you can see the majestic Xiannairi. After Chonggu Temple, continue forward to take the second sightseeing bus and officially start the long trek. It is strongly recommended to take this sightseeing bus. After all, there is a 12-kilometer hike from Luorong Ranch to fully exert your physical strength. This section of the sightseeing bus continues to go deeper into the valley along the river. If the weather is good, you can clearly see the peak of Xianuo Doji. Here I want to knock on the blackboard: the front of Xianuo Doji can only be seen when the sightseeing bus passes by this direction. After arriving at Luorong Ranch or even Milk Sea, you can see the side of Xianuo Doji. After getting off the bus at Luorong Ranch, the long-term hiking part began. The front makeup photo of Yangmaiyong taken at the Luorong Ranch drop-off point is really spectacular.

There are three snow-capped peaks in Daocheng Yading Scenic Area, which are not far from each other and arranged in the shape of a Chinese character "品": the east peak, Xianuo Duoji, the south peak, Yangmaiyong, and the north peak, Xiannairi. The three snow-capped peaks are white and steep, like sharp swords piercing the sky. Xiannairi is like a giant Buddha, sitting proudly; Yangmaiyong is like a girl, quiet and dignified, pure and innocent; Xialang Duoji is like a boy, strong and resolute, and full of energy. There are more than 30 horn peaks around the snow peaks, large and small, with various shapes and spectacular.

By Thunderbolt Little Bear |

The higher we went, the fewer trees there were. At 9:50, we reached the highest point of the pass. The most difficult part was finally over, and the view in front of us suddenly opened up.

Hanging on the gravel slope are tourists riding horses. Once the horses reach here, they can no longer go forward, and everyone has to walk to the sea in their hearts.

The altitude of this pass is higher than that of Milk Lake at 4,600 meters. Tourists climb up to reach the Five-Colored Lake at 4,700 meters above sea level.

By Phony Chef Jia |

The scenery is first-class and the trip is worthwhile. The best arrangement is to stay in Yading Village, get up early and take the scenic sightseeing bus to Luolong Ranch, then walk or ride a horse to the Five-Colored Lake, and take a short walk from Chonggu Temple to Luolong Ranch the next day.

When I first saw Yangmaiyong, it kept hiding in the clouds and refused to come out, but its reflection in the water was so clear and bright, so beautiful that I couldn't breathe. The effect of the photo could not express the feeling I had when I first saw it, it was too beautiful.

By Rise from Fire |

The snow mountain in front of you is the southern peak of the "Three Protectors" Snow Mountain, with an altitude of 5,958 meters. In Buddhism, it ranks first among the "Three Protectors" Snow Mountains. Yangmaiyong means "Manjusri Bodhisattva" in Tibetan. Manjusri Bodhisattva is the embodiment of wisdom in Buddhism.

Yangmaiyong, one of the three sacred mountains in Daocheng Yading, means "Manjusri Bodhisattva" in Tibetan, with an altitude of 5958 meters. .......It is really good and worth recommending

By Ali |

The appearance is very beautiful. It is so beautiful to see it at Luorong Cattle Farm.

By summary |

One of the three sacred mountains in Aden, the top of the mountain is covered with snow. However, due to the development of the scenic area, the facilities and equipment are very limited and the conditions are not good.

By 🌸Photo card🌸 |

I like mountains very much. The sky is blue, the clouds are white, and the mountains are spectacular.

By Coffee |

It was still early in the morning before dark, and all kinds of guns and artillery were already ready by the meadow stream, and finally squeezed me into a remote location.

I waited until the sun went down. My phone was not very good, so the photos I took were not very good. But for someone like me who was watching the sunrise over Jinshan Mountain for the first time, it was very gratifying.

By China-TravelNote users |

If Xianuoduoji is like a brave and tenacious boy, then Yangmaiyong is like a pure and beautiful girl standing between heaven and earth. This mountain is called the most beautiful mountain in the world by American Mr. Locke. I think he is showing off a little bit because his book is for Westerners. When he came to Daocheng Yading, not to mention foreigners, even Chinese people were few and far between. It can be said that at that time, this place was still a secret place. But I really admire his courage and envy him for being so good at having fun.

By Mammoth |

In some people's minds, Yangmaiyong is the most beautiful snow mountain, and so is it for me, no doubt about it.

I was very grateful that the weather was very good during the two days in Aden.

By Know Autumn |

Needless to say, it's a must, beautiful scenery, I went there in autumn and this summer too, but I was not allowed to step on the grass, which was a bit too much!

By Lango-Panda Holiday |

I don’t know if it’s because of the weather or something else, but I think the Five-Colored Sea is very beautiful but the mountains behind it are really average.

By Zheng Zizai |

Yangmaiyong means "Manjusri Bodhisattva" in Tibetan. It is located at the junction of Muli Tibetan Autonomous County, Liangshan Prefecture, Sichuan Province and Daocheng County, Ganzi Prefecture. It is the southern peak of the "Three Protectors" Snow Mountain (i.e. the three sacred mountains of Daocheng), with an altitude of 5,958 meters. It ranks first among the "Three Protectors" Snow Mountains in Buddhism. Manjusri Bodhisattva is the embodiment of wisdom in Buddhism. The snow peak is like Manjusri pointing to the sky with the wisdom in his hand. The crystal-clear Yangmaiyong stands proudly between heaven and earth.

The "Three Sacred Mountains" of the Three Protectors (i.e. the Three Sacred Mountains of Daocheng) are ranked eleventh among the twenty-four holy places of Buddhism in the world. It is the long-cherished wish of every Tibetan to go to Gonggar Risong Gongbu for pilgrimage at least once in his life. According to historical records, in the eighth century AD, Guru Padmasambhava opened the eyes of Gonggar Risong Gongbu and named and blessed the three snow peaks after the three Buddhist Bodhisattvas, Guanyin, Manjusri and Vajrapani. Since then, Gonggar Risong Gongbu has become famous in the Tibetan area. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that we saw many buses, medium buses and minibuses with Qinghai for taking photos along the way, and all the passengers were Tibetans. The great lama of Xiangyang Temple thought that there was nothing to see for tourists like us who had no faith. Lao Zheng now also deeply agrees with this.

The sacred peak is surrounded by a wide canyon, with forests, grasslands and streams harmoniously guarding each side, creating a magnificent natural landscape.

By Jamie |

I think Yangmaiyong is the most majestic and tallest of the three sacred mountains. It is like a young man full of vigor and ambition, walking towards Yangmaiyong all the way up the mountain.

By Wandering |

At the foot of the sacred peak, there is a wide canyon surrounded by mountains, with forests, grasslands and streams harmoniously guarding each side, creating a magnificent natural landscape.

By Brother Water |

Yangmaiyong is probably the most beautiful of the three sacred mountains in Daocheng Yading.

By Sniff sniff |

Among the "Three Protectors" snow-capped mountains, I like Yangmai Yong the most. The shape of its main peak is fierce and vigorous, like a spear pointing straight to the blue sky.

By Abby0122 |

The morning sunlight shines on the snow-capped mountains, making them look particularly magnificent, standing proudly between heaven and earth.

Some guys are carrying toilets up the mountain. The toilets are made of stainless steel and are really heavy. It takes about 8 strong men to carry them at the same time. We ordinary people are already out of breath when climbing on the plateau, let alone them who are carrying heavy loads. They need to rest after walking for a while, and while resting, they say very kindly, "You go first." I really want to cry when I see this scene. Everyone sees that while the outside world is developing so well, there are still a group of people who need to work so hard. After all, this is a job, and scenic spots also need people to create and maintain them. Scenic spots will eventually go through these in the process of development, in order to give tourists a better experience.

I hope everyone will cherish the plank road under your feet, protect the environment and love nature during your trip.

One side of the fork in the road leads uphill to the Five-Colored Lake, while the other side leads gently to the Milk Lake.

There is a small loop. Going uphill is the Five Color Lake, and then going downhill from the other end to the Milk Lake. After playing in the Milk Lake, walk back gently. It is a circle, and you can't go back.

I chose to climb the Five-Colored Lake first, and then the easy part. Otherwise, I might not have the energy to climb the Five-Colored Lake. So, I drank Red Bull and planned to climb the Five-Colored Lake!

This road made me want to cry, it's really steep!

It is recommended that you move forward slowly and steadily, and don't be in a hurry, otherwise you will easily run out of strength.

The prayer flags are so sacred, and only Tibetans have this kind of belief. The sparsely populated hilltops and passes are covered with prayer flags, praying for peace, good weather, and happiness. It is very sacred and pious.

The highest point is covered with prayer flags.

The wind at the pass blew through the prayer flags, making a rustling sound like scriptures being recited over and over again.

Looking back at the Milk Lake, the lake is getting smaller and smaller, but the scenery is becoming more and more spectacular.

After going over the hill, there was actually a lake, which was unexpected!

This lake is very large and long, and I don’t know what is at the end.

In this magical land, you won’t be surprised to encounter any wonders along the way.

We unexpectedly discovered a group of wild mountain goats running towards the top of the mountain.

By Old Lu-elina |

This was taken at the viewing point of Luorong Ranch. It is a photo that I am very satisfied with.

By Nirvana |

The weather was bad all the way, with thick clouds.

The sacred mountain Yangmaiyong can only be vaguely seen through the clouds.

Although it is blocked, you can still feel the majestic momentum

By Phantom Tomb |

Yangmaiyong is the southern peak of the "Three Protectors" Snow Mountain, with an altitude of 5,958 meters. It ranks first among the "Three Protectors" Snow Mountains in Buddhism. The sacred peak is surrounded by a wide canyon, with forests, grasslands and streams guarding each side in harmony, and the momentum is magnificent.

By Spring 834 |

This snowy mountain is so white and beautiful!

I loved it so much that I looked up at it and gazed at it countless times within two days!

Having seen many snow-capped mountains, Yangmaiyong is so unique!

Not only are the beautiful mountains highly recognizable!

Staring at the snow-capped mountain above, I have never seen a snow-capped mountain so tightly and delicately wrapped.

The smoothness is so outstanding!

I have some feelings about the recognizability of snow-capped mountains, because the shape of a well-known snow-capped mountain is always more or less similar to the surrounding snow-capped mountains. When viewing it from a different position or another place, you always have to be very careful to avoid making a mistake.

And there is no mistaking Yang Maiyong’s figure!

By Honey Toffee |

When the lake is calm, it reflects the snow-capped mountains like a mirror, which is particularly beautiful. After the rain, the tops of the snow-capped mountains are exposed, which is particularly spectacular.

By sugerplus_ |

If you take a boat on the lake and use a bamboo pole to approach Yangmaiyong Snow Mountain, you will forget the time and wonder whether you are in the sky or on the ground. You can take pictures of the reflection of the snow mountain when there is no wind on the other side.

By Enna |

Yangmaiyong means "Manjusri Bodhisattva" in Tibetan.

If Xiannairi is kind and quiet

Then Yangmaiyong is quiet and graceful.

Like a girl standing quietly

By Xiaowai |

The road of Yangmaiyong near the snow-capped mountain in Luolong Niuchang has a small pond (almost all ponds in the south are like that) which reflects the snow-capped mountain (it is said to be the peak of Xiannairi, but as a pseudo-strategist, I didn’t take a serious look at it).

You can't go down the grass, but some people still ignore this warning. Personally, I think it's also nice to sit on the wooden boardwalk and take pictures. You don't have to go down, and the mud on the grass is very soft. I saw that the shoes of the people who came up were all dirty.

By hyddr |

The snow-capped peak is like Manjusri Bodhisattva pointing the sword of wisdom in his hand straight to the sky.

By Silu Travel |

One of the must-see attractions in Daocheng Yading Scenic Area, it is revered as "Manjushri Bodhisattva" by local Tibetans and enjoys a very high status in the Tibetan area. It is a sacred mountain in the hearts of many believers, with an altitude of 5,958 meters.

By Zhang Yang's Little Qiang |

Yangmai Yongshen Peak is like a huge lighthouse guiding us forward, and it really gives us motivation.

Yangmaiyong is always presented to us without reservation. Looking at such a beautiful scenery, I feel that there must be gods living here.

By Nao Nao Lin |

I took three photos in a row from the same angle. My heart seemed to be shaking when I took the photos. It was so beautiful, so magical, and so spectacular. It is said that seeing snow-capped mountains requires fate and blessings. Because the weather on the plateau is changeable, it is sunny, cloudy, and hail.

By Lizzy |

There are three snow-capped mountains located in three directions of Aden. Each snow-capped mountain has its own unique charm. Unfortunately, I am ashamed to say that I forgot which sacred mountain it corresponded to after taking the photos (I was guessing in every photo - it might be Xiannairi, Xianuoduoji, or Yangmaiyong...) Words cannot describe the shock that seeing the snow-capped mountains up close brought me. Photos may be more intuitive.

By Huahua |

The three sacred mountains stand in a triangle on the earth. The legends and stories of the past inspire the people of Aden, the people of Tibet, and generations of Buddhist disciples.

It happened to snow the day before we arrived in Aden. When I went to the Aden scenic area the next day, all I saw were snow-capped mountains. The first mountain I saw at Chonggu Temple was Xiannairi. The snow-white mountain gave people a feeling of being both far and near. Since I live in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, I have rarely seen snow-capped mountains since I was a child. Seeing such a shocking snow-capped mountain scenery, I was extremely excited. I wished I could cling to the snow-capped mountain and not move at this moment, haha.

Later, on the way to the Five-Colored Lake and the Milk Lake, with the help of the locals, I finally recognized Yangmai Yong and Xianuo Doji. Just at noon, I accidentally took a picture of a rainbow in the snow-capped mountains. It was really amazing and beautiful. I really hope to have the opportunity to live quietly in Daocheng for a while to wash away the restlessness in my heart. This is the last pure land on earth - Daocheng Yading.

By Li Xiaolei |

Yangmaiyong is so beautiful that it stands out from the rest of the world. It is the most eye-catching mountain from any angle and in any scene. No wonder Locke wrote when he first saw Yangmaiyong: "Under the clear sky in front of me stands the unparalleled Yangmaiyong Snow Peak. It is the most beautiful snow mountain I have ever seen."

By Martian User |

One of the three sacred mountains in Daocheng, Yangmaiyong, the incarnation of Manjusri Bodhisattva

By Yuppie |

The visual experience is very shocking and worth a visit.

By Flowers Outdoor |

There are three sacred mountains in Yading, Xiannairi, Yangmaiyong and Xianuoduoji. The peak of Yangmaiyong is the sharpest and leaves a deep impression on people. Yangmaiyong is located in the middle of Yading Scenic Area, opposite to the Milk Sea.

By Heading south |

The first impression of Yangmaiyong is its power that reaches the sky. When you see it in Yading Scenic Area, it is very close to you. Because the altitude under your feet is 4,200 meters, and its altitude is 6,000 meters. The main peak is snow-white all year round, and it looks particularly tall and strong against the blue sky. In front of the high mountains and deep ravines, individuals are helpless and insignificant. It is indeed a journey to cleanse the soul for oneself.

By James.Hitch |

The most beautiful snow-capped mountain I have ever seen. There has never been a snow-capped mountain so cold and majestic. Standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up at Yangmaiyong, it seems as if the world has stopped turning.

By Walking in the valley |

The sacred mountain can be seen in the scenic area and is very spectacular.

By Kuai Luo Xiao Tong |

After spring and summer, the snow gradually melts and flows into streams that rush down the mountain, nourishing the open grasslands. In autumn, the ridges still retain a light layer of snow.

Finally arrived at the first destination. Although it was 4,600 meters above sea level, the funny group had to jump down to show their appreciation.

Manjusri Bodhisattva is the embodiment of wisdom in Buddhism. The snow peak is like Manjusri pointing to the sky with the wisdom in his hand. The crystal-clear Yangmaiyong stands proudly between heaven and earth. The weather was bad, so it was a pity that I couldn't see the main peak of Yangmaiyong pointing to the sky.

The magnificent sacred mountain. The last of the three sacred mountains you see when you enter the Yading Scenic Area. The Milk Sea is actually at the foot of Yangmaiyong.

By Yao Xiaoyao |

I want to cheer for Yang Maiyong, like a soft girl, like a big ice cream, I really want to reach out and take a bite to taste what it tastes like! Under the bright sunshine, the holy snow-capped mountains are reflected in the clear lake, like a shy woman dressing in front of the mirror, carefully appreciating her beauty! How can one not feel pity for her?

Be sure to take pictures of the reflections in the morning! It's really beautiful! There were so many people taking pictures together that I thought it was still National Day! There is a lake in Luorong Ranch where you can take pictures. It's best not to go down to the grass, or the staff will tell you.

~Early in the morning of the third day, we arrived at the gate of the scenic area. Today we took the long route, which required us to walk to the Milk Sea at an altitude of 4500m in one breath, passing Chonggu Temple, Luorong Pasture, Yangmaiyong Sacred Mountain, Xianuoduoji Sacred Mountain, and Five-Colored Sea. You can take a shuttle bus from Chonggu Temple to Luorong Pasture. The mountain climbing distance is about 5 kilometers one way. If you choose the long route, you must be prepared for the mountain climbing. Bring dry food for lunch. We brought self-heating rice and some biscuits, because there is no canteen behind except Luorong Pasture where you can buy some food, and you must prepare enough water. In order to prevent rain, we also brought raincoats. Practice has proved that this is the most correct choice, because if it rains on the mountain, holding an umbrella is useless, and it is not convenient to walk. Get ready! ~The shuttle buses in the scenic area are with and without canopies... When I first saw Yangmaiyong, she shyly covered her face with clouds and mist. The only regret this time was that the weather was bad and she didn't see the sacred mountain, but the scenery of Aden was indeed beautiful, and she was actually satisfied.

Yangmaiyong means "Manjusri Bodhisattva" in Tibetan. It is located at the junction of Muli Tibetan Autonomous County, Liangshan Prefecture, Sichuan Province and Daocheng County, Ganzi Prefecture. It is the southern peak of the "Three Protectors" Snow Mountain, with an altitude of 5,958 meters. It ranks first among the "Three Protectors" Snow Mountains in Buddhism. Manjusri Bodhisattva is the embodiment of wisdom in Buddhism. The snow peak is like Manjusri pointing to the sky with the wisdom in his hand. The crystal-clear Yangmaiyong stands proudly between heaven and earth.

Yangmaiyong is located around several sacred lakes in Aden, and you can observe them up close, which is particularly shocking.

It takes 4-5 hours to hike back and forth, or you can ride a horse, which costs 500 yuan round trip, and you need to dismount and walk when going downhill.

The majestic Yangmai Mountains and the continuous drizzle are unable to show their true appearance.

The scenic area is well managed, and the scenery is even more beautiful. You must come in the right season! The weather is very important. If it rains or fogs, you can forget about the beautiful scenery.

By Silently |

I think it is beautiful no matter what season it is. From far to near, at different distances, it stands tall. Although the ticket price is a bit of a rip-off, it is still worth a visit as one of the few relatively well-developed scenic spots in the west.

It is a very sacred place. From seeing only a corner of it to approaching it, seeing its front, exploring it around it, you will have a new understanding of this place. The snow-capped mountains are right in front of you, but you can't touch them. The most beautiful Milk Sea, the last piece of pure land, is worth appreciating.

Yangmaiyong is the most beautiful snow-capped mountain I have ever seen, and it is still braving the cold at this moment.

One of the Three Protectors, Manjusri Bodhisattva. You can get closest to him on the slope at the Five Colors Sea. Standing there, you can see the Five Colors Sea and the Milk Sea at the same time.

The Yangmaiyong sacred mountain is a perfect triangular cone, very beautiful, and the snow on the top of the mountain highlights its dignity and holiness. You can see the entire Yangmaiyong in Chonggu Grassland.

Because the sisters who went there chose the right one, the scenery was not the best it could show! I will go there again in autumn if I have the chance

Yangmaiyong "Manjusri Bodhisattva" (5958 meters), walked to the foot of the mountain, and felt the majesty and holiness of the sacred mountain. There was fog and clouds, so I couldn't see the sacred mountain completely, but I was very satisfied to be at the foot of the sacred mountain.
