On National Highway 318, there is a sacred mountain that captivates at first sight✨
It is located at the border of Litang County and Yajiang County in the Garzê Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture—Kazila Mountain🏔️
【A Visual Feast Beyond Compare】
✔️ Main peak altitude: 4718 meters (an important part of the Shaluli Mountain range in the Hengduan Mountains)
✔️ The surface is mainly alpine meadows, every snapshot looks like a Windows desktop background
✔️ Standing on the summit and looking afar, the mountains overlap like walking on a heavenly road☁️
【Spectacular All Year Round】
☀️ May-June: Spectacular sea of clouds
❄️ October-December: A world wrapped in silver snow and ice
🌦️ Weather changes rapidly: it might be sunny one minute and snowing the next (remember to bring enough warm gear~)
【Rich Tibetan Culture】
Tibetan people have lived here for generations
You can see:
✅ Traditional Tibetan architecture
✅ Authentic pastoral lifestyle
✅ Unique folk cultural performances (if lucky, you might catch festival events)
📍 Location: Border of Litang County and Yajiang County, Garzê Prefecture, Sichuan Province
🚗 Transportation: Accessible via National Highway 318
🎫 Admission: Free
⏰ Best time to visit: May-June / October-December
💡 Travel Tips:
1. High altitude can cause altitude sickness; it’s recommended to prepare oxygen bottles in advance
2. Large temperature differences between morning and night; remember to bring enough warm clothes
3. Weather is unpredictable; bring rain gear
