I finally got to experience the real northwest wind.

The snow-capped mountains were so stunning, and the air was so quiet that I could hear every whisper. I prefer climbing mountains without steps. I took the shuttle bus from the visitor center to the Qicai Waterfall, and then climbed from the foot of the mountain to the base camp (at an altitude of about 4,300 meters), which was about 3 kilometers. At this time of year, the road was covered with snow and ice. I asked the staff at the visitor center, and they said it would take 40 minutes to reach the base camp on horseback, or about 2 hours on foot. People who come to climb the main peak and the three peaks usually stay overnight at the base camp and set off at dawn. I found out that the movie "The Climbers" was filmed here. If you come to Qinghai in the summer, you can also climb the mountain. It's not far from the rapeseed fields in Menyuan.
