Gongga Snowy Paradise! Winter Exclusive Red Stone Beach + Starry Sky + Golden Sunlight on the Mountain All Included!

🌟 Stunning Viewing Platforms: The winter in Garze Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture is like the backyard of the gods! From December to February, not only are there fewer people, but the chances of seeing the Red Stone Beach + Rime Ice + Sea of Clouds together are very high. Even beginners can easily capture stunning shots of the golden sunlight on the mountain 📸 📍 Self-driving Tips: Navigate to "Gongga Mountain Viewing Platform," 5 hours direct from Chengdu ⚠️ Snow tends to accumulate on the Zheduo Mountain section of the Ya-Ye Expressway, four-wheel drive + snow chains recommended ✈️ Lazy version: Direct flight from Chengdu Shuangliu Airport to Kangding (1 hour), then 2 hours by car 📸 Two Amazing Photo Spots: 1⃣️ Zimei Pass The closest viewing platform in a straight line to the main peak of Gongga! You can capture the pyramid-shaped mountain with a drone at eye level. It’s best to stake out one hour before sunrise for epic shots! 2⃣️ Lenggacuo A magical lake reflecting the snowy mountains on its icy surface! A 3 km hike to reach (altitude 4500m), with a legendary combo of blue ice and fiery clouds at dusk ❄️ Winter Exclusive Experiences: - Red Stone Beach after snow clears (most obvious in late January) - Starry sky photography guidance (local Tibetan guides offer shooting service for 300 RMB/person) - Ancient ice waterfall ice climbing (professional coach 1-on-3 teaching) 🍲 Tibetan Warmth Set Meal: ▪️ Viewing platform snack shop: Butter tea + Barley cake (10 RMB fills you up) ▪️ Must-eat on the way down: Matsutake stewed yak meat (recommended "Snow Mountain Wild Mushroom King" 158 RMB/pot) ⚠️ Altitude Sickness Prevention Guide: ✅ Take Rhodiola in advance ✅ Bring enough oxygen tanks (very expensive in the scenic area) ✅ Don’t wash your hair for the first three days
