Sichuan self-driving tour, watching the sunrise, snow-capped mountains, sea of clouds, and stars, I also want to go to Dawa Gengzha
Sichuan is a great place, once you go, you want to go again. 'Not entering Sichuan when young, not leaving Shu when old,' speaks of everyone's love for Sichuan. I took the kids to Sichuan twice, once strolling through Chengdu's Wide and Narrow Alleys, visiting the zoo to see giant pandas, entering Sichuan University, and exploring ancient towns... One year, I took the kids to Leshan to see the Giant Buddha, to Meishan to eat Dongpo pork, to Kangding to feel the plateau, and to Bipeng Gorge for a close encounter with pandas🐼. When asked about the places the second child visited in childhood, there is little memory due to being young. Recently, I've been wanting to travel to Sichuan. One year, Ena and Zhe were boarding, and the couple went to Dawa Gengzha in Sichuan, watching the stars, sea of clouds, snow-capped mountains, sunrise... and the beautiful autumn scenery, which still looks like a dream, breathtakingly beautiful.
Stealing half a day of leisure, one autumn I went to Dawa Gengzha in Baoxing County, Ya'an, Sichuan. It is a Tibetan township where you can see the starry sky, sea of clouds, sunrise, and snow-capped mountains... Because during the National Day holiday, a friend's family had been there and experienced wind, rain, snow... but did not see the starry sky and sea of clouds, as seeing them is a matter of fate. When they heard we were going to Chengdu, they insisted on taking us to see that beautiful place. Fortunately, the weather was good during the two days we went, and we just saw all of these... Perhaps this is a blessing, a silent prayer, a gift from heaven. Here's an introduction:
Dawa Gengzha Scenic Area is located within Garze Tibetan Township in Baoxing County, Ya'an City, Sichuan Province, covering an area of nearly 50 square kilometers, with the highest peak at 3866 meters above sea level, part of the Qionglai Mountain Range, with high terrain in the north and low in the south, known as 'Asia's best 360° viewing platform.' Dawa Gengzha means 'beautiful sacred mountain' in Tibetan, and the area offers views of famous mountains such as the Four Girls Mountain to the north, Pagela Mountain to the south, Gongga Peaks to the west, and Mount Emei to the east. It is also known for its sea of clouds, sunrise, Buddha's light, rime, meadows, lakes, canyons, peaks, highland azaleas, Tibetan villages, and other landscapes.
With hands that can pick stars, sea of clouds, sunrise, snow-capped mountains... To see these, we stayed in a Tibetan family's home near Dawa Gengzha the night before. The enthusiastic brother treated us with good wine and meat. Talking to him, he raised many free-range sheep, pigs, and dairy cows, and his wife performed in the county town. The next morning, just after 4 a.m., we set off for the summit of Dawa Gengzha. When we arrived, we could see the stars; it was just that the temperature at the summit was low, a bit too cold; slowly, the sea of clouds rose, and after sunrise, we could see the opposite snow-capped mountains. It was truly beautiful, indescribable in words.
The sunrise at Dawa Gengzha in Ya'an, Sichuan, is very beautiful. For photography-loving Dad Zhe, it's never enough to shoot, and he accidentally fell. I was really afraid he would fall off the mountain. The mountain top is slippery, be careful of falling, safety first!
Seeing those, I couldn't help but greet in my heart: Good morning, sea of clouds; good morning, sunrise; good morning, Buddha's light; good morning, snow-capped mountains; good morning, nature... This Tibetan-inhabited place under Baoxing, Ya'an, Sichuan, Dawa Gengzha, is truly a treasure of a tourist destination. The scenery is beautiful, the Buddha's light shines everywhere, facing the sun, it's very comfortable, very beautiful. Any random shot is a beautiful view.
Beautiful Ya'an, Sichuan, with its lovely lakes, red and dotted autumn colors, truly beautiful. There, the air is better than in the city, filled with the scent of happiness. It's not enough to go several times, like the time we went to Bipeng Gorge to see the giant pandas, attracted by the mountains, water, and cute pandas. A person should always have pursuits in life to be optimistic, sunny, and have positive energy. Thanks to friends for their company, every time I go to Sichuan, they warmly welcome me, either staying at their home, with Sichuan cuisine at will: boiled fish, boiled pork slices... all hand-made!
From the top of Dawa Gengzha, you can see famous mountains in all directions, such as the Four Girls Mountain to the north, Pagela Mountain to the south, and enjoy various natural landscapes such as sea of clouds, golden mountain lit by the sun, Buddha's light, starry sky, and more. It's really worth a visit, and if you like nature and a peaceful environment, this place is definitely worth a visit, and I hope to bring the kids here someday.
Travel, for me, is a way to recharge. When you go out to play, relax and let go, work is not so much of a concern, and the pressure is not so great. The vast world, facing the open view, beautiful scenery, is a way to relieve stress, and people become comfortable, natural... I hope the future will be more and more beautiful😊.
We were surprised. We were lucky. We saw the sunrise, the sea of clouds, the sunshine, the golden mountain... and the blue sky, the hillsides of cattle and sheep... It was the hard trip to get up at 4:00 in the morning and take the first bus at 5:00. It felt great and great!
The price is super high. We have a group of eight people. We went to Dawa Gengza in the morning. The weather was good. We saw the 360-degree snow mountain. It was beautiful. We went down for breakfast and went to Shenmu Die. It was quite big. It is recommended to go up the seat sightseeing car. Come down and play slowly.
The boss is super good! Knowing that we can only get to the hotel in the early morning, we also specially upgraded the room type for us! The hotel lobby and yard are very atmospheric. I arrived at the hotel at 1 am and got up at 4 o'clock to go to the scenic spot. I couldn't bear to make up for my sleep when I came back. I decisively continued the room and played in the yard for a day! Come back next time!
Maybe I am not physically able to be afraid that this staircase almost cost me my life, but seeing the sunrise after the summit is worth it! !
