Aergou | One-day round trip to see the snow together

|Let’s go see the snow together on a day trip. If you yearn for the flowers all over Jiuding Mountain but don’t want to travel so far, then you must not miss this niche destination. You can go back and forth in one day, going up the stream, and you will be accompanied by rhododendrons, snow-capped mountains, various wild flowers, cattle and sheep all the way. The end point is the high mountain lake, Aergou Longchi. The scenic area is under development and no entrance fee is charged for the time being. It is very suitable for advanced high-altitude hiking.

🔶The second half of the scenery is continuous mountain peaks and alpine meadows.
🔶The Dragon Pond on the top of the mountain has turquoise water and waves, and the clear and orderly patterns on the hillside make the scenery very magnificent. There are white flowers in the lake, glowing in the sun. The whole view of Longchi can be seen from the pass.

✅Highlight the key points! ⚠️⚠️
1. Aergou is a high-altitude hike, so be careful of altitude sickness, and retreat if you can’t stand it;
2. If there is no signal in the scenic area, do not leave the team without authorization;
3. Short sleeves are enough when you are going down the mountain and exercising, but the wind is strong on the mountain. Once fog comes, the temperature drops quickly. Don't be stubborn and go down in time. Be sure to bring a coat and raincoat and keep warm.
4. Check the weather in advance. Sunny days are more comfortable. Rainy and foggy days are cold and you can’t see anything.
5. The sea of flowers is mainly concentrated on both sides of the Despair Slope.
6. There are still many 629 on the slope of despair
7. Don’t pick flowers carelessly, or someone might sit through them (the one in the photo was picked up from someone else, not a protected flower)
8. Take the garbage down the mountain.
