Plan to Escape Langlang Mountain and Explore Western Sichuan!

"What's beyond the mountain?"

When the wind brushes past the peaks of Mount Gongga, glides over the boats on the sacred lake of Mugecuo, and gently caresses your face, the little demon from Langlang Mountain suddenly understands: "There are indeed more mountains beyond the mountain."

It's the Golden Sunrise on the Snowy Peaks! 🏔️

🙌 Highlights of the Official Mugecuo Scenic Route:
Visitor Center → Mugecuo Sacred Lake Viewing Platform → Red Sea Grassland → Golden Beach → Red Stone Beach Hiking Trail → Medicinal Hot Springs (Marmot Paradise) → Seven-Color Sea → Return

‼️ Must-Visit Scenic Spots for Fun and Photos:
✅ Red Sea Grassland
Photo Tip: Sit by the boardwalk! Use the snowy mountains as a backdrop to capture stunning shots of the mountains, lake, and grassland blending together. When the wind blows, the grass waves roll like a movie scene!
Best Timing: 2 PM - 4 PM when the sunlight turns golden. Wear forest-themed or brightly colored dresses for breathtaking full-view photos!

✅ Mugecuo Sacred Lake
Near the drop-off point, you'll find a hub of free activities like dance-offs, archery, and singing duels! Earn silver tickets and exchange them for gifts 🎁.
Head left to reach Golden Beach! The sapphire-blue lake is serene and mysterious. Who would have thought you could take "beach photos" at an altitude of 3,780 meters?

✅ Medicinal Hot Springs
Relax and rejuvenate while taking photos: Boil eggs in high-altitude hot springs and soak your feet in natural thermal pools surrounded by mist. Don't miss the nearby Marmot Paradise to meet these adorable creatures!

✅ Seven-Color Sea (Second-to-Last Stop on the Downhill Route)
Best Time: 10 AM - 6 PM on sunny days! The lake's surface changes colors with the light, transitioning from blue to green in a breathtaking gradient. Use a telephoto lens to capture the Mani stone piles and snowy mountains in the same frame!
