Q: Is the hike to Red Rock Peak difficult?

A: Hongyanding is a light hike, which takes about 3 hours and is relatively easy.

Hongyanding is even more beautiful than Niubei Mountain, and closer to Gongga Mountain. It's one of six 360-degree panoramic platforms in Sichuan, with an angle of 14° to 22° in summer and -5° to 10° in winter. Witness the sea of ​​clouds, sunrise, sunset, and starry sky, and marvel at the spectacle of the sun and moon shining together. Sunrise starts at 5:00 AM and sunset around 6:00 PM. Starry sky viewing is available from 1:00 AM to 4:00 AM. Erlang Mountain Scenic Area, nestled between the mountains and nestled beside the water, offers breathtaking scenery with lush greenery and turquoise waters. Each season offers distinct views, including lush forests shading the sun, steep cliffs and unusually shaped rocks, the chirping of birds, and the flourishing of flowers. The aura of a fairyland looms, and the stories of its scenery unfold in captivating stories. The forest coverage rate in the scenic area is over 98%, and the negative oxygen ion content is 300-500 times that of ordinary cities. It is a good opportunity for urban people to return to nature, watch the sunrise, enjoy the snow scene, watch the sunset, take pictures of the sea of ​​clouds, watch the stars, and look for the Buddha's light. On one side are the famous Gongga Peaks, and on the other side are the endless Qionglai Mountains, both of which make tourists experience a relaxed and happy feeling and linger.
