Go for a light hike under the snow-capped mountains in Switzerland
Travel through sea of clouds, forests, and lakes
Watch the Milky Way hang overhead at night
It is the ultimate experience in the minds of countless travel enthusiasts
But traveling to Switzerland
High airfare, accommodation, and food costs
And travel time of more than 10 days
Still makes many workers discouraged

Among the many magnificent snow-capped mountains in western Sichuan
There is a snow mountain
Awe-inspiring to countless climbers
Photographers are obsessed with
A dream for outdoor enthusiasts
It is
The King of Shu Mountains - Gongga Snow Mountain
Picture @萌萌
This snow-capped peak with an altitude of 7556 meters
For the vast majority of people
Only by watching from a distance can you get close to this person
The best way to win the King of Shushan
And summer
It is the best time to visit Gongga Snow Mountain
As many parts of the country enter the hot summer
The average summer temperature in western Sichuan is only around 10 degrees Celsius.
No sticky heat
Only the sound of melting water from the snow-capped mountains
The mountain breeze carries the fragrance of meadows and wild flowers
When you're sweating in the city
There is still some unmelted snow at the foot of Mount Gongga

In the summer, compared to the hustle and bustle of crowded seaside resorts or the monotony of hiding in air-conditioned shopping malls, the way to escape the heat in western Sichuan is obviously cooler!

Drink coffee at the observation deck and watch the snow-capped mountains up close, the sea of clouds rolling, the sun shining on the golden mountains, and count the stars in the tent wrapped in a quilt~
Hiking through meadows, crossing snow-capped mountains, sitting by a lake surrounded by blooming flowers, gazing at cattle and horses grazing, and simply daydreaming freely, this is a visual and physical cooling experience, and a healing journey for the body, mind, and soul of city dwellers.

Our product managers have visited the route many times and launched this 4-day, 3-night loop route, taking you to see the true appearance of Gongga from three golden perspectives.
In the cool 18℃, you can enjoy the sea of clouds and stars on Niubei Mountain, the reflection of the holy lake of Lenggacuo, and the sunset on the golden mountain in Yuzixi. One trip, three ultimate snow-capped mountain viewing experiences!
Niubei Mountain is located at the junction of Yingjing County, Ya'an City and Luding County. It is the largest 360° viewing platform in Asia.
The unique terrain with a protruding center surrounded by mountains makes it an excellent location for viewing Gongga Snow Mountain. From here, you can see Gongga Snow Mountain standing like a majestic king above the peaks.

In addition, the huge altitude difference causes the water vapor in the Dadu River Valley to condense here, forming a spectacular sea of clouds on Niubei Mountain. It then falls along the mountain pass and becomes a flowing cloud waterfall, which is also a rare viewing experience.

Yuzixi is located in Xinduqiao Town, Kangding City, Ganzi Prefecture. It is the "no-dead-angle viewing platform" on the north slope of Gongga Mountain. The view is so wide that you can see the main peak of Gongga Mountain and the sacred Yala Mountain at the same time.

Evening is the most beautiful time in Yuzixi, when the sky changes from azure blue to golden yellow, and then to light pink and purple.
The Gongga Snow Mountain and the Yala Snow Mountain in the distance also turned into rose gold in the sunset. The huge mountains cast shadows on the grassland, and the combination of cool and warm tones looked like an oil painting.

Lenggacuo is located in Yulongxi Village, Kangding City, Ganzi Prefecture. It is one of the alpine lakes closest to the main peak of Gongga Mountain and is most directly located. The straight-line distance is only 20 kilometers. It is one of the best destinations to appreciate the reflection of Gongga Snow Mountain.
Picture @Xueyu Xiuluo
The altitude here is high, the lake water is crystal clear, and it is surrounded by snow-capped mountains, like a forgotten wonderland.
If the weather is calm and clear, the reflection of Mount Gongga in the lake is clearly visible. In the evening, the golden snow peaks are reflected in the lake, forming the spectacle of two golden mountains above and below, which is even more shocking!
