"Lugu Lake - Aden Xichang to Chengdu segment of highway and high-speed traffic, the ring Mt Zijia trip will be shortened 11 hours, a perfect ring Mt car/riding ring is about to close."

Mt is the highest mountain in Sichuan Province, with the largest gap between the Earth's surface, difficult to climb even higher than Mount Everest, climbers mind is a sacred place, known as the "king of the mountain." Even more striking is that western Sichuan mostly concentrated in the beauty around it, low-altitude glaciers Hailuogou, the hometown of Kangding Love Song, photography heaven xinduqiao, China's most beautiful highland village Danba, the last refuge of human Inagi Aden, can not use language to describe the beautiful Lugu Lake ⋯ ⋯

Journey time: 10 days, in fact, some spots can be more Wanji Tian.

Road conditions: on the way, Chengdu - Inagi section, Xichang - Chengdu section of road conditions good; Aden - Lugu Lake segment is still relatively difficult to walk, dirt roads, gravel roads are more landslides during the rainy season should be careful, driving is not high recommendations from friends Austin - Lijiang bypass; other sections of the whole road is better, a small amount of uneven pavement.

Local climate: the end of September each year to April period is the snow in May, late October to mid-November most beautiful scenery in the middle months of the rainy season may be affected.

Note: several along the way to turn the snow-capped mountains 4,000 meters above sea level, to pay attention to dark on the snow-capped mountains of ice, generally on the highway to remind addition,Highland areas to keep warm sun, even in summer, also recommends that carry a jacket. The vast majority of tourists arrived in Inagi, have different levels of altitude sickness, which is normal, the symptoms will gradually reduce or disappear. Taking inosine, vitamin, cod liver oil and so resistant to high altitude and dry climate, serving locally grown Rhodiola bubble effect is more obvious, but there are serious heart, lung disease and high blood pressure should not travel to the plateau.

Hailuogou - embracing the crystal glaciers and Spa World

Hailuogou is a great place to watch the Gongga snow, although not everyone destined to witness the "sunshine Gold Mountain," the spectacle, but at least you can enjoy the wonders of the glacier above the hot springs.

Me and Lisa, and two friends, party of four early morning departure from Chengdu, via high speed to the Ya Ya into the city, then travel west along State Road 318, this road is actually drilled after the founding of New China Sichuan-Tibet Highway, the Tea-Horse Trail along the south line is to go in this direction. After a day of the county, then walk, is Erlang, thick mountain mist, Siyu rain, with the mountain road up the extension plate, ancient trees, waterfalls when water, the scenery is really charming. When you drive through the Erlang Mountain Tunnel, the sky suddenly see the light, or just light rain started falling, now even blue skies, described as "outside the customs within different days off." from the Erlang down, along with the waves rolling downstream of the Dadu River, soon after the bridge, went to the Moxi town, take a look at the table, only more than 1 pm.

Hailuogou Moxi town in the vicinity, located in the east slope of Mt. Hailuogou already heard the scenery there are three points: sunshine Jinshan, glaciers pouring and Niseko spa.'s Still early, after we take a break to visit Glacier National Forest Park for environmental and safety considerations, has now been allowed out of the car to enter,Can only take the scenic area of environmentally friendly vehicles. The whole hiking Glacier Forest Park is not a good choice, because the door into a large section of the winding mountain road, far enough, not only tired but also a waste of time.

Halfway environmentally friendly vehicles is also a chance encounter the practice of Tibetan Buddhist monks hole, once there was a Buddha in this very great practice, and now is hosted by Living Buddha in this tenth generations of disciples are fellow passengers have come to the hole incense, a few even went to Tibetan religious exchange. so everyone on the bus, move on for a while to reach the summit parking lot. need to get off after about 45 minutes on foot, there is ice on the road, there is a Ms. peers even the soles are gone. a pedestrian through the dense vegetation, towering trees of the original forest, and finally saw the lowest elevation on Earth with latitude glaciers, and is well-known large ice falls. the world-famous Canadian Glacier National Park has a drop of 1,100 meters of ice falls, and fall 1080 meters of large ice falls favorably Hailuogou Numerous very large radiant ice, Zhixie down from the sky, as if heaven and earth of a galaxy, crystal clear, magnificent magnificent.

Glacier Forest Park back from feeling a little tired, hot springs just to Camp II. Open-air pool, a layer of a layer of pale blue spring water flowing down from the mountain,The water temperature slowly decrease with height down. Clear warm spring water, exudes a smell of sulfur from the lowest one at 38 ℃ pond bubble up, 42 ℃ of the pond a bit hot, and the pond as 43 ℃, That is just going to have to come up, not in it for more than 10 seconds, most people are concentrated in the 38 ℃ ~ 41 ℃ of the pool. spa where a lot of people do not, most people are lazy, quiet bubble in the depths bathed in Niseko "soup" of the eye can see, only the nearby snow-capped mountains and mountain snow disappeared, and the transpiration of the white mist mountain, as if to a wonderland.

I heard only the case of good weather to see the "sunshine Gold Mountain" and the best place fourth camp, too early in the morning rush past. Companion felt too hard, they may not be able to see, go or not does not matter But Lisa and I decided to see the sunrise the next day 5:00. ride from Camp II to the 3rd camp from the 3rd camp just 15 minutes by cable car to reach fourth camp, the pain of eliminating foot fatigue I believe that our dear friend who did not go must be the same rude awakening, because the morning when you came to the foot, snow-capped mountains in the cold waiting for scratch sunrise, waiting for dawn a little painted it gold, then kind of looking forward to the process and the sense of the sacred is not in the picture can feel. to now also like to thank the insistence of that little bit.
