The Autumn of Tianse: Nature's Finest Palette

The autumn in Tianse is as vibrant as if a divine hand had accidentally spilled a palette of colors. Snow-capped mountains stand majestically, their icy peaks glistening under the sunlight. Clear lakes reflect the colorful forests and shifting clouds like a painting. When a gentle breeze brushes by, the surface of the water scatters the beautiful hues of late autumn.

📸 Recommended Photo Spots

• Bipeng Valley (毕棚沟): A harmonious blend of snow-capped mountains and colorful forests, with streams shimmering in golden hues. The final scenery is the most stunning, so don't spend too much time at the beginning. Start early to make the most of the morning light!

• Lixiaolu (理小路): Along this path, you'll find vibrant forests, babbling brooks, and occasionally cows and sheep grazing on the meadows. The sight of snow-capped mountains appearing around bends in the road will keep you delighted throughout your drive!

• Mount Siguniang - Shuangqiaogou (四姑娘山 - 双桥沟): Yaomeifeng Peak (幺妹峰) rises against the blue sky, surrounded by red maple leaves and golden birch trees casting colorful reflections on the lake. Every moment here is filled with grandeur and vitality, immersing you in Tianse's most beautiful autumn dreamscape.

• Zhugana Lake (珠噶纳措): A 1km walk from Budala Peak (布达拉峰) to the red cedar forest (红杉林) offers the most picturesque spot to capture reflections of snow-capped mountains and colorful forests.
• Budala Peak (布达拉峰): A perfect location for large-scale photos of snow-capped mountains, white pagodas, and vibrant forests. Be cautious of the frequent buses passing by!

• Xianghua Village - Jiesigou (向花村 - 结斯沟): A relatively smaller attraction requiring a hardcore off-road vehicle or a hike to access. The scenery along the way is breathtaking, with colorful forests and snow-capped mountains in every direction.

💡 Travel Tips

1️⃣ This is a high-altitude area, so avoid strenuous activities and take precautions against altitude sickness.
2️⃣ The UV rays are strong, so don't forget to apply sunscreen.
3️⃣ Clothing: Autumn in Tianse has significant temperature differences between day and night. While you can wear light clothing under the midday sun, temperatures drop sharply on mountain ridges or in windy areas. I recommend the KAILAS Ascender hardshell jacket. It's not bulky like a thick coat but provides excellent warmth. The outer layer is windproof and waterproof, while the inner layer offers padded insulation, making it suitable for both mountain treks and city strolls. However, during snowy seasons, always check the weather forecast before heading out! Stay warm and avoid catching a cold!

May you all discover your own special scenery during your outdoor adventures!
