Sky City Litang

🌟Litang's Hidden Gem | The Soul Journey to the Eye of Genie🌄 "You have to visit Litang at least once, to be the crane in the dream of Tsangyang Gyatso. What amazes me most about Litang, this city of paradise, is not its title as the Sky City at an altitude of 4014 meters, but the "Eye of Genie" hidden deep in the plateau💎. This round lake, resembling the pupil of the earth, reflects a brilliant blue under the sunlight, like a palette spilled by God! Genie Sacred Mountain: The third highest peak in Sichuan, one of the famous sacred mountains in Tibet, cold and pure. Qianhu Tibetan Village · Letong Ancient Town: One of the largest Tibetan village clusters in China, condensing the essence of Tibetan dwellings and folk culture. Horse Racing Culture: "The Land of Equestrianism," the galloping and grandeur of the Bayi International Horse Racing Festival. Maoya Grassland: From the blooming flower sea in midsummer to the golden fairy tale in late autumn. Come here to feel the most primal pulse of the earth and witness the grandeur of the Creator. 📍Eye of Genie Tips It is recommended to hire a car (about 3 hours' drive from Litang) The best viewing time is before 10 a.m. Remember to bring a drone! The aerial view is stunning📸 Altitude is 4300 meters, beware of altitude sickness Currently no entrance fee but the road conditions are poor 🚗Recommended Travel Route Day 1: Fly from Chengdu to Daocheng Yading Airport → Litang County (stay in Litang) Day 2: Litang → Blacksmith Mountain Pass → Lenggu Monastery → Eye of Genie (recommended to stay at a Tibetan guesthouse in Ranrika Village) Day 3: Sunrise at Eye of Genie → Reti River Valley → Return to Litang 🏔️Altitude Sickness Prevention Guide Take Rhodiola 10 days in advance Bring a portable oxygen bottle (available at Litang pharmacies) Do not wash your hair or bathe on the first day Move slowly like a sloth 🍵Must-Try Litang Food Highland yak meat hotpot (recommended "Tsangyang Gyatso Tibetan Restaurant") Butter tea with barley cakes Tibetan yogurt with sugar 📸Outfit Suggestions Bright-colored outdoor jackets look better in photos Sunglasses + sun protection face scarf are essential Renting Tibetan costumes for photos is very atmospheric
