Another mysterious scenic spot in western Sichuan—Yulong Lacuo

It is famous in Aden, Daocheng in southwestern Sichuan, and to the north there is the secret place "Xinluhai" in Ganzi, which is also known as Yulong Lacuo. It is on the roadside from Garze to Dege, just beside the 317 National Highway, just a few hundred meters away from the national highway, between Garze County and Derge County. Yulong Lacuo is surrounded by mountain peaks. The tops of the mountains are covered with snow and sparkle in the sunlight. The water of the lake is crystal clear, with the breeze blowing and the waves sparkling. The woods beside the lake are colorful and change colors with the seasons. The altitude here is about 4,000 meters. There are cattle grazing leisurely, clear lakes, snow-capped mountains in the distance, and dense forests surrounding it. Everything is so beautiful that it takes your breath away and makes you want to cry! Yulong Lacuo is a famous glaciated lake in Ganzi. The color of the lake is cyan. There is also a beautiful legend about this lake. It is the sacred lake that Zhu Mu, Princess Gesar, loved. It carries many romantic stories and is a mysterious place. It is recommended to bring some food and drink with you as the canteen may not always be open. This place is really beautiful. When I came here, I met two cute local cowherd boys. I chatted with them for a long time, sharing the legend about the lake with us, and chatting about daily life. I like the natural scenery here and the simplicity of the people here! There are fragrant highland barley cakes with a crispy texture, yak jerky that is chewy, and the characteristic Tibetan yogurt, which is sweet and sour. In addition to Yulong Lacuo Lake, there are also grasslands around where you can ride horses and feel the free wind. But it should be noted that In high-altitude areas, you must be prepared for altitude sickness in advance and bring relevant medicines. Keep warm and bring enough warm clothes. Respect local religious and cultural customs. Take good care of the environment and don't destroy and throw away garbage at will. Understand the local weather in advance and plan your trip accordingly.
