The best spot to photograph Mount Gongga! Crying my eyes out

- If you come to western Sichuan, you must see the 'King of Sichuan Mountains,' Mount Gongga🏔️ Its majestic and magnificent presence is awe-inspiring. Looking up, the peak of the snow mountain pierces the clouds, As if you could touch the sky☁️ The scenery along the way is picturesque, every step is a beautiful painting. - Best viewing spot——🌊Lenggacuo A tranquil lake, a journey of the soul - Lenggacuo is a series of tranquil lakes hidden among the snow mountains. It is a paradise for hikers and photographers. The lake water is clear as a mirror, reflecting the snow mountains and the blue sky☁️ It seems as if the whole world is gently embraced by it. Here, you can let go of all worries And enjoy a peaceful journey of the soul🍃 - There are three ways to get up⬆️🈶 1️⃣ Hiking🚶: The whole journey takes about 40-50 minutes (if you have severe altitude sickness, don't try it, it will get worse) 2️⃣ Motorcycle🏍️: The way up is decided at the ticket office, driven by villagers, quite thrilling, 300 per person one way, a bit dusty though 3️⃣ Horse riding🐎: The way I went up, I couldn't climb at all due to severe altitude sickness. The horse is led by herders, quite slow, but very safe, 200 per person one way, also 200 for the way down - PS: Lenggacuo is at an altitude of 4600 meters, if you are not in good physical condition❌, you must bring an oxygen tank, otherwise, it will be very painful. The lake is not big, it took me half an hour to walk from the outer edge to the inside (normally it takes 3 minutes), I had to stop and catch my breath every two steps😮‍💨 - You also need to bring food to replenish your energy. There is only a small shop selling instant milk tea🥤 and instant noodles🍜, nothing else. It's best to bring a thermos and drink plenty of hot water. The temperature is low, so you need to wear a three-in-one jacket or a lightweight down jacket. 🎫Ticket: 40 per person 🏍️Motorcycle: 300 per person one way 🐎Horse riding: 200 per person one way 📍Location: Yulongxi Village, Gonggashan Township, Kangding City, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province
