Celebrate National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival in Litang!

Experience the autumn beauty of Genie Mountain and enjoy a Tibetan-style double festival. When the mundane routines of city life fade away, there must be a place where your heartbeat aligns with nature. In the highland purity of the "Sky City," it's not an unreachable secret realm but a spiritual haven within reach. Here, the rhythm flows naturally—wind whispers, chants, starry skies, and grasslands create an immersive experience of purity and tranquility. At 4,000 meters above sea level, the blue sky, golden glowing Genie meadows, and the aroma of Tibetan butter tea during the Mid-Autumn Festival... 🌄【Must-visit for the double festival: Genie’s autumn scenery is breathtaking! Guaranteed stunning photos!】 National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival mark the peak of Litang's autumn beauty, especially at Genie Sacred Mountain: 👉🏻 Genie Main Peak: Known as the "First Peak of Southern Kham" at 6,204 meters, it’s wrapped in snow, resembling a pristine white pyramid surrounded by six snow-capped peaks. 👉🏻 Genie’s Eye: Dubbed the "Eye of the Earth," it’s stunningly beautiful this time of year! Golden meadows encircle the icy blue lake, reflecting snowy mountains and drifting clouds. In the early morning mist, it feels like stepping into an alien realm. At sunset, the golden light on the mountain peak and the lake’s shimmering glow make every snapshot wallpaper-worthy. 👉🏻 Surprises along the way: On the road to Genie, you’ll pass through pristine forests with colorful autumn foliage flanking streams. Occasionally, you might encounter herders on horseback driving yaks—a truly heartwarming scene! 🏨【Stay at Cordyceps Hotel! Even those prone to altitude sickness can rest easy】 Worried about altitude sickness in Litang? Choosing the right hotel is half the battle! The Litang Cordyceps Hotel, certified by the tourism bureau, ensures peace of mind: ✅ Oxygen-supplied rooms: Rooms feature diffused oxygen supply, ensuring a headache-free sleep—perfect for first-time highland visitors. ✅ Tibetan ambiance: The hotel’s decor exudes gentle Tibetan charm with intricate wood carvings and colorful paintings. Complimentary butter tea in the lobby offers a warm welcome. ✅ Prime location: Situated along National Highway 318, it’s less than a 10-minute drive to Letong Ancient Town and close to Changqingchunke’er Monastery. No need to rush in the morning; you can leisurely head out to catch the sunrise at the monastery. 【5-Day, 4-Night Double Festival Itinerary】 D1: Arrive in Litang → Check-in at Cordyceps Hotel → Acclimate to altitude (avoid washing your hair!) → Watch the sunset from Dongshan Peak in the evening D2: Letong Ancient Town (stroll through Renkang Ancient Street, experience Thangka art) → Enjoy beef hotpot for lunch → Visit Changqingchunke’er Monastery in the afternoon (see the golden roof, spin prayer wheels) D3: Full-day Genie Sacred Mountain tour (Genie’s Eye + view six peaks together) → Return to the hotel in the evening D4: Maoya Grassland (horse riding, yak watching) → Snap photos at Litang West Gate (iconic National Highway 318 landmark) D5: Sleep in → Shop for Tibetan specialties (yak jerky, Tibetan incense) → Return journey 💡【Essential Tips for Visiting Litang During the Double Festival】 Altitude sickness: The hotel provides oxygen, so don’t worry. Avoid running or jumping, and drink plenty of water! Clothing: Wear autumn outfits during the day, but bring a down jacket for mornings and evenings! Bright-colored clothes look great in photos. Sun protection: The UV rays are intense! Sunglasses, hats, and SPF50+ sunscreen are a must. Litang is not a distant place but a "spiritual haven" where you can breathe easier and slow down when weary of urban noise. Here, you can ride horses, chase the wind, stargaze, and cloud-watch. At 4,000 meters above sea level, breathe in the purest air—this grassland is more vast than imagined, and this sky is more real than any filter. Pack your bags and embark on your Litang journey. Find your rhythm in the place closest to the heavens. Litang Cordyceps Hotel (Ganzi Litang National Highway 318 Branch)
