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.
