The largest national wetland park in northern Gansu - Yulong Lhamo Wetland Park.

Dege County, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Yulong Lhamo (also known as Xinluhai) - I didn't know that Sichuan's lakes are as beautiful as New Zealand's! 📍Yulong Lhamo is a plateau glacial lake. In Tibetan, "Yulong" means "to fall in love", and "Lhamo" translates to "sacred lake" in Chinese. There is a beautiful legend here - it is said that Zhu Mu, the beloved concubine of Gesar, the hero of the famous Tibetan epic "The Gesar Saga", came to the lake one day. She was so attracted by the beautiful scenery and peaceful environment that she lingered by the lake, unable to leave. Her heart, filled with love for the beautiful mountains and rivers, suddenly sank to the bottom of the lake. Later generations named the lake Yulong Lhamo in memory of Zhu Mu, which means "sacred lake of love at first sight". 📌Yulong Lhamo is located on the side of the Sichuan-Tibet Highway 317, only 1% of people know about it. It is 98 kilometers from Ganzi County and 100 kilometers from Dege County. The altitude is 4040 meters. When driving from Ganzi County to Dege County, before passing through the Que'er Mountain Tunnel, you will see a road sign on the side of the road that says "Yulong Lhamo". Just drive straight in. It is quite far from Chengdu, so there are not many tourists along the way, which is very comfortable. 📌Love at first sight, the sacred lake Yulong Lhamo is a famous glacial lake in Ganzi Prefecture. The water source is supplied by the Que'er Mountain Glacier and snowmelt. The stream flowing out of the lake is one of the sources of the Cuoqu River. 📍Location: Dege County, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, under Que'er Mountain on the North Sichuan-Tibet Highway G317, altitude 4040 meters 💵Entrance fee: 20 or 30 yuan/person, possibly depending on the season. I have been there several times, and the price is different each time. The scenic area is not fully developed, and the basic facilities are not perfect. 🚶🏻Walking: There is a free parking lot after entering the scenic area. It takes about 10 minutes to walk from the entrance to the lake. ❌There is no restaurant in the scenic area. It is recommended to bring your own dry food, or you can dine in Manigango Town, which is more than ten kilometers away. 💯Very few people can get here, but it is really beautiful. Snow-capped mountains, forests, and lakes are still very primitive. It takes more than ten minutes to walk to the lake. The whole lake is milky green, and the snow-capped mountain in front is the famous Que'er Mountain. ✅Accommodation: There are no hotels in the scenic area. You can stay in a hotel in Manigango Town, which is about 12 kilometers from the scenic area. However, it is recommended to stay in Ganzi County (the night view of Ganzi White Pagoda is also a beautiful sight). There are many delicious foods and a good environment. You can see the sunrise from the place where you stay. ✅Weather: The weather in the plateau is unstable, with a large temperature difference between morning and evening. Be sure to bring enough thick clothes. The ultraviolet rays are also very strong, so sunscreen is very important.
