Cooler than Daocheng Aden and more beautiful than Switzerland, you must have never been to this secret place in western Sichuan

If Garze is a place spoiled by God, then the Western Sichuan before Garze is a wonderful scene that God has forgotten.

There are many Shushan observation decks here:

Niubei Mountain was named "Asia's largest 360° viewing platform" by "National Geographic Magazine";

"Asia's second largest 360° viewing platform" recognized by travel friends - Dawa Genzha;

"Oriental Little Switzerland", a popular music video - four people together;

< p> The best viewing platform of "Gonggar" that is rarely visited by tourists - Wanggangping.

Glaciers, snow-capped mountains, grasslands, lakes; starry sky curtains, snow-capped mountain tops, billowing clouds, phantoms of Buddha light... All the fantasies about the Western Sichuan Plateau are here.

It is the "Jerusalem" of the outdoor hiking world - Ya'an.

“Asia’s largest 360° viewing platform”, “China’s largest viewing platform”, “an excellent photography destination”, “a place where almost all travelers and tourists want to go”... < /p>

It’s all Niubei Mountain.

Niubei Mountain is located in Yingjing County, Ya'an City, Sichuan Province, at the junction with Luding County. It is a branch of Erlang Mountain and is the watershed of Qingyi River and Dadu River. The top of the mountain is 3,600 meters above sea level. It is shaped like an ox's back. Named "Niubei Mountain".

Surrounded by mountains on all sides, it has a unique geographical position that protrudes in the middle, giving it a unique 360° all-round view of "China's largest viewing platform".

As a "viewing platform", the scenery on Niubei Mountain is definitely world-class. Niba Mountain, Wawu Mountain, Emei Mountain, Jiajin Mountain, Siguniang Mountain and Erlang Mountain are in the front, Gongga Snow Mountain is on the side, and the Dadu River Grand Canyon is behind. Almost all the famous mountains in the Land of Abundance have been turned into exquisite bonsai at this time.

The sea of ??clouds in Niubei Mountain is dense, pure and fantastic, making people feel like a dream in a fairyland.

The sea of ??clouds flying down from thousands of meters high, rushing towards the valley with the wind, rolling and rolling in front of people's eyes, never stopping. Only when facing such turbulent and rolling clouds, can we understand what It's called magnificent.

In the morning, the sun has just revealed its glimmer, and the warm and ruddy light shines softly on the "King of Shushan".

Looking north on Niubei Mountain, Gongga Mountain turns golden, the white snow is very bright under the sunlight, and the "Rizhao Jinshan" stands before our eyes.

The sea of ??clouds flowing in the wind echoes with the scattered peaks. In front of you, there is a vast glow, and the clouds are dancing in the mountains.

When the sun rises slowly, the snow-capped mountains lose their golden impression, but the new rising sun immediately breaks through the clouds, and the light pours down. You can reach out and touch the temperature of the top of the mountain.

As the sky gets darker, the sun slowly sets in the west, and the horizon turns blood red. The setting sun renders the rolling sea of ??clouds more brilliant, and the snow-capped mountains undulating with the rolling sea of ??clouds are inlaid in the golden landscape. In the ocean, they are like gems, shining with golden light!

Due to the unique terrain and climate conditions, Niubei Mountain is cloudy and foggy all year round. However, when the sun is shining high, you will also be lucky enough to see the "Buddha's Light". It may not be as famous as Mount Emei, but its charming scenery is no less impressive.

The four seasons change. As long as the weather is good, you can watch the sky full of stars on Niubei Mountain at any time. You can reach out and touch the sky, as if you are among the stars.

ps: Niubei Mountain is now in the closed development stage, friends who want to go can wait.

If Niubei Mountain is a "bonsai of peaks", then Dawagenzha is truly "above the clouds".

Dawa Genzha means "beautiful sacred mountain" in Tibetan. Genting is about 3,900 meters above sea level and covers an area of ??nearly 200 square kilometers. It is the second largest 360° observation deck in Asia. It is currently the only outdoor hiking route in Western Sichuan that can drive directly to the peak.

It has a 360° sea of ??clouds viewing platform that is comparable to Niubei Mountain. You can look around the magnificent scenery without blind spots: Siguniang Mountain in the north, Pagra Mountain in the south, and the Gongga Group in the west. Peaks, as well as natural landscapes such as sea of ??clouds, starry sky, meadow forests, Rizhao Snow Mountains, herds of cattle and sheep, etc. It is called the place where gods live by the locals.

This is the best place among Sichuan-Sichuan observation decks to view Mount Siguniang. From Dawagenzha, you can look at Yaomei Peak, the top of the Siguniang Peaks. The mountain is as sharp and steep as a sword, pointing straight into the blue sky.

The rosy glow of the sunrise passes over the mountain tops, and the golden light finally falls on Yaomei Peak, the "Queen of Shu Mountain". The most rare thing is that while waiting for the sunrise in Dawa Genzha, you may also encounter the rare Buddha's light.

On the other side, you can also see the "King of Shu Mountain" Gongga. Although it is not as majestic as Niubei Mountain, it complements the sea of ??clouds and is unforgettable.

In addition to "Rizhao Jinshan" and "Peaks Observation Deck", for Dawagenzha, the most noteworthy thing should be the 24-kilometer "Tongtian Road" from Gari Village to the top of the mountain. ".

There is a grazing enclosure on the top of Dawagenzha. In the past, when there were no roads, the villagers had to walk for a day to reach the pasture on the top of the mountain, and most of the traders who bought yaks were unwilling to come. Here, in 2014, local villagers raised funds to build this road directly to heaven.

"Tongtian Road" is 24 kilometers long. Along the way, it passes through alpine meadows and rime jungles. From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, you have to go through 99 turns. At the end of the road is a longing wonderland of clouds and mist.

At night, standing on the top of Dawagenzha Mountain with an altitude of more than 3,000 meters, the starry sky is low and beautiful, and the Milky Way looks particularly psychedelic under the clean and bright night.

When you are lucky, there will be shooting stars falling from you one by one, and you will make a long-awaited wish to the shooting stars. This sudden surprise makes people sigh, it is the most romantic thing in the world. That's all.

Four people share the same name. The name sounds strange, but the scenery is strangely beautiful. It is a mountain opposite Niubei Mountain, with an altitude of about 3200 meters.

In addition to having a panoramic view of Shushan Mountain, the peak here also has unique features such as snow town and ice waterfall.

Especially in winter, the four-person plants combine with the snow water to form "ice-hanging snowflakes", and there are even magnificent icefalls that rival the Taihang Mountains.

Wrapped in silver, it is like the ice and snow world created by Elsa with magic. I can't help but want to sing a song, "let it go~" "let it go~"...

Wanggangping is located deep in the mountains of Wajiao Township, Shimian County, with an average altitude of about 2,500 meters. The gap between it and Gongga Snow Mountain of more than 5,000 meters makes it the best place to view Gongga Snow Mountain among the mountains on the east slope of Gongga. the best visual point.

The ancients said, "The wonders, weirdness, and extraordinary views of the world often lie in the dangers and distances, but they are rarely seen by humans."

Although Wanggangping has beautiful scenery and strange light and shadow, the road here is narrow, winding and steep, and there are no guardrails, making it very difficult to go up the mountain.

Starting from Chengdu, take the Yaxi Expressway and exit at Shimian Station, pass Provincial Highway 211 for 35 kilometers to reach Wajiao Township, and then pass the township road, Hafeng Road, about 50 kilometers to Wanggangping Scenic Area.

However, Wanggangping is currently in a closed development stage like Niubei Mountain. It is said that Wanggangping will become a new 5A attraction in Ya'an in the future, and will also create "a feast of Shushan under the stars and a vacation in the clouds" "Paradise" international tourist resort, everyone can look forward to it.
