I thought Xinjiang was beautiful, until I came to Genie.

🏔️In western Sichuan, there is a place where the grasslands and flower fields rival those of Xinjiang, and you can get even closer to the snow-capped mountains. That place is Genie.
"I can't leave the sacred mountain, so take a Gesang flower with you~" No matter how many times I visit Genie, I am still amazed by its beauty‼️
Under the snow-capped mountains, Genie is full of greenery, with colorful rhododendrons blooming all over the mountains🌼, forming a colorful sea of flowers, and wildflowers covering the grasslands like brocade... A trip to the southern line of Genie this summer is definitely worth it‼️

📍Location: Gemu Village, Bomi Township, Batang, Ganzi
🚕Road conditions
Zeba Village to Gemu Village: There is a 15 km pothole road in the Litang section, so an SUV is needed. Sedans are not recommended❌
Batang➡️Bomi Township➡️Gemu Village: The road is in good condition, and sedans are OK👌🏻

[Scenic spots along the way]
🌟Genie Eye:
A beautiful lake. It looks better in drone photos than to the naked eye, so bring a drone if you have one.
🌟Xiazetong Village:
A Tibetan village with hot springs. Watch the beautiful sunset and experience the local life and customs.
🌟Genie Cabin
A cabin hidden in the mountains, surrounded by green trees and fresh air. Walk in the forest and feel the peace and harmony of nature, relaxing your tired body and mind.
🌟Cuopu Valley:
Take amazing photos under the snow-capped mountains and lakes!
🌟Zeba Village:
At the foot of the sacred Genie Mountain, a paradise on earth. In autumn, there are golden meadows and glaciers.
🌟Yuzixi
If the weather is good, go to Yuzixi to watch the sunset. Surrounded by the Gongga and Yala snow-capped mountains, the sunset is super romantic.
