Sunset Radiance over Mount Gongga🏔️✨

Life advice: You must see the snow-capped peaks of Mount Gongga at least once in your life 🏔️ and chase the magical moment of Golden Sunlight on the Mountain at sunset 🌕 They say if you’re lucky enough to witness Rizhao Jinshan(日照金山), you’ll be blessed with good fortune for the entire year ⭐️ This is a place praised by National Geographic and featured seven times in a single month by China Central Television (CCTV). Here, you’ll find towering snow mountains, vast wildlands, untouched nature, and the warm, simple hospitality of the locals. The moment you witness Rizhao Jinshan(日照金山), it feels like your soul has been redeemed. — If you’re into hiking, this is an unmissable destination❗️ The legendary King of Sichuan Mountains offers some of the best trekking routes 🚶. Marvel at the sacred snow-covered kingdom from Lenggacuo Lake and Zimei Pass. — 🏔️ Lenggacuo Lake One of the best spots to see Mount Gongga’s reflection. A must-visit for hikers and photographers. Wait here for the golden hour and capture a once-in-a-lifetime shot. 🏔️ Bawang Sea A hidden alpine glacial lake surrounded by Gongga’s snow peaks. With colorful forests, meadows, and glaciers, it’s like a highland paradise. A simple 5km hike — perfect even for beginners. 🏔️ Gongga Monastery Over 600 years old, facing both the Small and Grand Gongga Glaciers, and aligned with the towering 7,556m main peak — it feels like a sacred link between nature and humanity. 🏔️ Zimei Pass Named one of the top 3 best Gongga viewing points by National Geographic. The closest viewpoint to the main peak — truly breathtaking. If you’re lucky, this might be where you witness your own Rizhao Jinshan moment. #chinatravel #travel #couplestrip #四川 #318川藏 #川西 #贡嘎雪山 #冷嘎措 #子梅垭口 #nationalgeographic #日照金山 #cctv
