Gannan Hidden Paradise · Dual Heritage Route | A Visual Epic You Must Experience in Your Lifetime
——Traverse the Hengduan Mountains and unlock the ultimate scenic secrets of Jiuzhai Valley and Gannan
【Visual Wonders · Time-Space Collisions of Dual Heritage】
The 108 lakes of Jiuzhai Valley and the "Stone City" of Zhagana meet in a dialogue of nature and culture, creating an epic masterpiece.
▸ Jiuzhai Valley: Terraced calcified pools resembling emerald steps, with snow-capped mountains reflected in the gradient blue-green lakes, like a palette spilled by the divine.
▸ Zhagana: Dubbed the "Eastern Eden" by explorer Joseph Rock, Tibetan villages scattered among Danxia landforms resemble alien relics from an aerial view.
▸ Ruoergai Flower Lake: Stroll by the sapphire of the plateau, watch black-necked cranes soar across the horizon, and witness the morning mist and twilight drape this wetland in a flowing veil.
【Light and Shadow Magic · Exclusive Photography Privileges】
▸ Early Bird Mode at Zhagana: Enjoy the "Rock Trail" an hour before the site opens, capturing untouched mountain landscapes shrouded in mist—every shot is a masterpiece.
▸ Dual Shoots at Flower Lake: Capture cranes in the morning mist and silhouette prayer flags against snowy peaks at sunset, as light and shadow dance in your lens.
【Deep Exploration · Beyond Travel Experiences】
▸ 48-Hour Mountain Life: Stay in the core village of Zhagana, gather around black tents to hear old herders recount legends.
▸ Minjiang River Source Exploration: Trek through primeval forests to touch the headwaters of the Yangtze tributary and feel the pulse of untouched nature.
▸ Immersive Tibetan Culture: At "Eastern Little Switzerland" Langmu Temple, spin prayer wheels, light butter lamps, and dance with faith under fluttering prayer flags.
