🌄【Must-visit for the double festival: Genie’s autumn scenery is breathtaking! Guaranteed stunning photos!】
National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival mark the peak of Litang's autumn beauty, especially at Genie Sacred Mountain:
👉🏻 Genie Main Peak: Known as the "First Peak of Southern Kham" at 6,204 meters, it’s wrapped in snow, resembling a pristine white pyramid surrounded by six snow-capped peaks.
👉🏻 Genie’s Eye: Dubbed the "Eye of the Earth," it’s stunningly beautiful this time of year! Golden meadows encircle the icy blue lake, reflecting snowy mountains and drifting clouds. In the early morning mist, it feels like stepping into an alien realm. At sunset, the golden light on the mountain peak and the lake’s shimmering glow make every snapshot wallpaper-worthy.
👉🏻 Surprises along the way: On the road to Genie, you’ll pass through pristine forests with colorful autumn foliage flanking streams. Occasionally, you might encounter herders on horseback driving yaks—a truly heartwarming scene!
