🌟Must-Visit Reason
The "Couple Mountain" is sweetening the air online! A billion-year-old CP showing off their love live~
A naturally paired yin-yang stone pillar, a masterpiece of nature’s craftsmanship, free to see!

🚗Travel Tips
📍Address: Gongmu Mountain Scenic Area, Yanyuan County, Liangshan Prefecture
Self-drive: 2.5 hours from Xichang, last 20 minutes on winding mountain roads, be careful when passing other vehicles
Shuttle bus: Xichang Tourist Bus Station → Yanyuan County (6 trips daily), then a 15-minute taxi ride from the county town

🔥Must-Do Checkpoints
1️⃣ Gongmu Stone Viewing Platform
A tricky angle photo spot! Recommended to arrive before 9 AM, morning mist + sunrise gild the mountain edges
🤫Easter egg: From the side it looks like elephants kissing, from the back like a scepter... find all 5 shapes and you win!

2️⃣ Fairy Pool
Legend says this is where the Queen Mother of the West washed her feet~ The pool water changes color with the weather (when we went it was Tiffany Blue!)
💡Hidden tip: Picking up patterned stones by the pool can serve as a love charm (locals say so)

🥘Foodie Supply Station
【Yanyuan BBQ Trio】
🍢Highland pork: grilled with pine branches! The fat bursts like fireworks in your mouth
🍎Candied apple slices: directly supplied from orchards at the foot of Gongmu Mountain, sweeter than first love
🧊Cold jelly rolls: sold from a pushcart by a local lady, topped with crushed peanuts + spicy sauce, absolutely amazing

📸Photo Tips
▫️Wear red or white! The Danxia landform background makes colors pop
▫️Stake out at 4 PM for the "yin-yang light," the mountain naturally divides into light and shadow
▫️Drone users note: height limit in the scenic area is 120 meters (but using 0.5x wide angle on your phone can capture the whole scene)

😎Pitfall Prevention Guide
✓ Don’t buy the "wild lingzhi mushrooms" at the scenic spot entrance (they’re actually tea tree mushrooms in disguise)
✓ Signal on the mountain is unstable, download offline maps in advance
✓ If you encounter a troop of monkeys blocking the road, hand over snacks proactively (choose whether to protect your bag or your chips)

🏠Accommodation Easter Egg
Farm stays outside the scenic area gate, 100 RMB can get you a starry sky room! At night, look up to see the Milky Way’s washing machine mode rolling~
