A Mind-Blowing Journey to Western Sichuan

I crawled 4,700 meters to see Milk Lake. 🌄 Mount Siguniang's Shuangqiao Valley is a must-see! The snow-capped mountains reflected in the lake and the colorful autumn forests will fill your camera's memory. Wilderness Highway 🚗 China National Highway 318's most explosive section! Driving on cliffs with clouds rolling under the wheels. Includes a self-driving map. 🌌 Xinduqiao: A photographer's secret spot.

Climb over eight mountain passes in five days, and listen to wolves howl in a tent at the foot of a glacier. 🌠 Guide to Stargazing Tents at Lengga Cuo: It's worth freezing at 4,500 meters to see the reflection of Mount Gongga.
