Experience the dreamlike autumn and cross the southern line of Genie!

On the 34th day of my 101-day journey along the 318 National Highway, I continued my journey along the southern line of Genie. I set off from the Yunduan Fanshe Homestay in Ranrika Village, passed by Genie Eye, Xiazetong Village, and Hangda Camp, and finally reached the last stop before entering Tibet: Batang County in Ganzi. The whole journey was 160 km. . Although the journey seemed short, it took more than 5 hours to drive, and that was without any accidents. It can be seen that the road on the southern line of Genie is indeed difficult to drive. . After this journey, my biggest feeling is that although the scenery along the way in late autumn is beautiful, it is not as good as the season when flowers bloom and grass grows in early summer. The accommodation conditions and road conditions along the way really need to be improved. If I come again next time, it will definitely be in early summer after the road is repaired and there are good hotels to rest. . It is not far from Ranrika Village to Genie Eye, which is why I chose to stay here. On the way, you have to pass a winding dirt slope, which seems to be quite popular. . The so-called Genie Eye is actually a circular small pool on the hillside, with little water and area, but it is interesting that it never dries up all year round. The greater significance is that you can see the whole view of the Genie peaks here. . However, when I went there, the pool was frozen, and the reflection could not be photographed. The weather was still very good at that time, with only light clouds lingering between the snow peaks, allowing me to see the whole view of the sacred mountain. . Then I went all the way down to the river valley and checked in at Xiazetong Village, which is still relatively primitive. . I came across a heart-shaped tree, which seemed to be more beautiful than the famous check-in tree on the small hillside. Has no one taken a picture of this tree? . A lonely tree on the top of the mountain, with a lonely cow beside it. . There are actually many places to explore here, which are a bit similar to Qiongkushitai in Yili. Experienced players will suggest staying in the village for ten days or half a month to explore and experience slowly. However, I really don't have that much time this time, and I can't accept the accommodation environment, so I can only wait for the future.
