Why is the "elephant" of a century-old village called azalea snow mountain?

Along the Sepang Mountain, which bloomed in May, we walked into a century-old village "Xiangtu".

The scenery of Sepang Mountain purifies people's hearts and makes people and nature blend together. The picturesque valley enriches the soul and makes people's realm higher. Colorful beauty edifies temperament and inspires people.

After entering May, the alpine rhododendrons in Dali are blooming everywhere.

The west slope of Cangshan Mountain in Dali, Ma 'er Mountain in Heqing, Luoping Mountain in Eryuan and Xuebang Mountain in Jianchuan. Every place is a sea of flowers, a world of flowers. The reason for choosing Xuebang Mountain in Jianchuan is not only to see the azaleas blooming all over the mountain, but also to walk into the picturesque place with many hills and slopes along the snowy mountain.

Only through this "Horse Elephant" highway can people see this spectacular scenery.

Starting from Dali, when I came to Madeng Town, Jianchuan County, it was already evening. I stayed in Madden that night. By reading travel guides and consulting the information obtained by local photographers, Xuebang Mountain is located at the junction of Jianchuan and Lanping counties, with the main peak at an altitude of 4,295 meters, which is the highest peak in Dali Prefecture. There is a wind farm at the top of the mountain. Because of the construction of the wind power station, a service road has been built. The completion of this service road also makes the alpine azaleas in Sepang Mountain appear to the world from April to May every year.

The price of getting up at four o'clock has finally paid off, and a unique and beautiful mood is beyond words.

Being in beautiful scenery can always make time fly. Suddenly, it was already afternoon, and the clouds in the sky were getting thicker and thicker. For me who love photography, this is a rare light and shadow. From time to time, the sun shines through the cracks in the clouds, on the distant ridge in the form of rays, and on the hillside full of azaleas.
