“Eye of Genie”

#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck "Eye of Genie" --- The Eye of Genie is a natural circular lake/pool located at the base of Genyen Sacred Mountain in western Sichuan Province/Kangnan District/near Litang County. This lake is a "small pool/circular lake" that, especially during the season when the water reflects the mountain peaks and sky—when viewed from above (by drone/from a high point), resembles the "eye" of the world—hence the name "Eye of Genie". --- 🌄 Reasons for Attraction & Highlights of Genie The "Lake + Snow Mountain + Sky + Clouds" view—clear water/pool + sacred mountain peak + wide sky + tall nature—makes for spectacular natural photos, especially when the weather is good. A unique bird's-eye view/drone perspective — if you take photos from a drone or high vantage point, you'll clearly see the "circular shape of the lake," resembling the "eye of the world." This is a popular spot for panoramic/wide-angle photography. High-altitude natural setting & Tibetan community lifestyle / temples / sacred mountains — Because Genyen is a mountain of cultural/religious significance to Tibet, the local atmosphere offers a mix of nature and local culture, not just the "view." --- 🚗 How to get to Genyen Eye The typical starting point is from a major city such as Chengdu → to Litang County — by regular bus/transport.
