Lianbaoyeze Divine Guide to the 4520m Magical Stone City

Lianbaoyeze Divine Guide 🔥 4520m Magical Stone City Who understands this, family! Only when you see Lianbaoyeze with your own eyes do you know what "God's Jade Peak" means 🌄 Jagged stone peaks pierce the clouds, Tiffany blue lakes hidden in the mountains, every frame looks like a fantasy movie from another world. This personally tested and reliable guide is a must-save! Must-visit core attractions (following the optimal route) 1. Panyangping Viewing Platform (4520m) Head straight to the innermost point! Drive directly to the Panyangping parking lot, then take a 35 RMB sightseeing bus up the mountain. The 360° glass viewing platform faces the entire stone forest, with jagged stone peaks like giant beast fangs piercing the sky. At sunset, the slanting sunlight creates a great sense of layering, and wide-angle shots of portraits and silhouettes create a full atmosphere. 2. Zhaga'er Cuo Lake (4200m) The lowest altitude glacial lake in the scenic area, the lake water is a unique Tiffany blue (caused by minerals at the lake bottom). In the early morning, the lake surface is like a mirror, clearly reflecting the stone peaks. The prayer flag viewing platform is the golden spot for panoramic shots. The 1.5 km wooden boardwalk around the lake is easy to walk. 🚗 Transportation & Accommodation Guide - Public Transport: Take a bus from Chengdu Chadianzi to Aba County, then carpool (about 80 RMB per person) for 1.5 hours to reach the destination. Book rides 3 days in advance during peak season. - Accommodation Recommendation: Prefer homestays in Aba County (about 220 RMB/night), some with oxygen supply rooms to relieve altitude sickness; for a Tibetan-style experience, stay in homestays in Gamo Town, where 260 RMB gets you a skylight tatami room, and the owner will make butter tea. 💰 Cost Details - Tickets: 120 RMB/person in peak season, 60 RMB in off-season (December to March), valid for 3 days; half price for students and seniors over 60. - Scenic Area Transport: Panyangping sightseeing bus 35 RMB/person, 4520m viewing platform electric cart 15 RMB/one way (optional). - Dining: Tibetan restaurants in the county cost 50-80 RMB per person; must-try dishes include hand-grabbed yak meat and ginseng fruit yogurt; self-heating hotpot and highland barley cakes are available in the scenic area to stave off hunger. ⚠️ Pitfalls to Avoid & Altitude Sickness Tips 1. Go deep first, then explore outside: Drive directly to the deepest part, Panyangping, upon entering the scenic area; otherwise, parking spots will be gone later. It’s more efficient to visit lakeside spots on the return trip. 2. Don’t tough it out with altitude sickness: Move at one-third speed at the 4520m viewing platform, prepare oxygen bottles in advance, and if feeling unwell, immediately use oxygen and eat sugar; avoid strenuous exercise. 3. Weather is key: Enter before 8 AM! There is an 80% chance of fog and rain in the afternoon, causing the stone peaks to instantly "disappear." Bring rain gear and sun protection clothing (UV rays are very strong). Tips: Wildflowers bloom everywhere from June to August, and autumn colors dye the snow mountains in October. Both seasons are perfect for photos! Remember to wear bright-colored outdoor jackets for a strong contrast with the stone peaks in photos~
