The mountain doesn't come to me, so I go to it.

Here are some of the best places to see the golden peaks of the mountains at sunrise: Viewing spots - Jade Dragon Snow Mountain: Located in Lijiang, Yunnan Province, this is the closest snow-capped mountain to the equator in the Northern Hemisphere. The peaks are spectacular, and the snow-capped peaks are especially magnificent in the sunlight. You can view the mountain for free from Dongba Valley or Yuhu Village in Lijiang, or take the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain cable car to get a closer look at the glaciers and the golden peaks.  - Meili Snow Mountain: Located in Deqin County, Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, the main peak, Kawagebo, is the highest peak in Yunnan. The golden peaks are magnificent, and the best time to see them is during the dry season from November to April, when there are more sunny days. You can take photos from Wunongding, the Lonely Tree, or Feilai Temple.  - Namcha Barwa: Located in Milin County, Nyingchi, Tibet, the peaks are high and unique in shape. The best time to see the golden peaks is from October to April, when the rainy season is over and the weather is clear. The best viewing spots are the viewing platform in the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon Scenic Area and Suosong Village.  Itinerary - Lijiang-Dali-Shangri-La: First, go to Lijiang and rest in the ancient town. Then, go to Dongba Valley or Yuhu Village to see the golden peaks of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Next, go to Dali and visit the ancient town and Erhai Lake. Finally, go to Shangri-La, and enjoy the scenery of Napa Lake and Songzanlin Monastery on the way. You can see the golden peaks of Meili Snow Mountain from Feilai Temple. - Lhasa-Nyingchi: Depart from Lhasa and go to Nyingchi along the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon. You can see the golden peaks of Namcha Barwa along the way, and visit Basum Lake and Lulang Forest. Photography tips - Composition: Use the rule of thirds to place the peaks in one-third of the frame; use foreground composition, such as trees and rivers, to add layers; try symmetrical composition to show the majesty and stability of the peaks. - Exposure control: Use manual mode (M mode) to adjust the shutter speed, aperture, and ISO according to the light; use exposure compensation to ensure that the details of the peaks are not overexposed or underexposed. - Focus and metering: Use single-point focus and focus on the outline or the brightest part of the peaks; use spot metering or center-weighted metering to meter the brightest part of the peaks.
