Kangding's Three Legendary Snow Mountains in One Frame: Unlock the Best Photo Spot

At the must-visit Juli Pass Viewing Platform in Kangding, you will encounter the stunning simultaneous view of Gongga Snow Mountain, Yala Snow Mountain, and Siguniang Mountain 🏔️ It’s simply the best spot to unlock the beauty of the snow mountains [Awesome][Awesome][Awesome] This trip to Kangding was truly a jackpot! Super lucky~ At Juli Pass Viewing Platform, I gathered the magnificent scenery of the three major snow mountains all at once. With the blue sky and white clouds, the view was absolutely breathtaking! 🔍 Attraction Guide: 📍 Juli Pass Viewing Platform 🚗 Address: 878 meters southwest of Miaoyun Inn, Xinduqiao Town, Kangding City, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province ⚠️ Tips: 1. The best viewing time is before 10 AM when the snow mountains are clearest! You can also wait for the sunset golden glow, which should be even more spectacular. 2. It’s recommended to drive yourself so you can stop anytime for photos. 3. The altitude is about 4000 meters, so prepare oxygen bottles in advance. 4. Remember to bring sunglasses; the snow reflection is very strong. 📸 Photo Tips: ✔️ Be sure to bring a telephoto lens! It can capture the distant view of all three snow mountains at once. ✔️ Wearing red or bright-colored clothes is recommended to stand out against the snow mountains. ✔️ Early morning light is the softest, making the snow mountain details the clearest in photos. That day I was really super lucky [StarEyes][StarEyes]—the sky was cloudless, the main peak of Gongga was clearly visible, and the snow line of Yala and the outline of Siguniang Mountain were all in full view. This level of snow mountain scenery is rare nationwide, and every shot is wallpaper-worthy. Remember to check the weather in advance; it’s definitely worth coming on a sunny day! 🚗 Transportation Tips: It takes about 1.5 hours to drive from Kangding city center. It’s recommended to spend 2-3 hours there. The road to the viewing platform is a bit rough and bumpy… but sedans can make it. You will pass through Xinduqiao on the way, which is a photography paradise worth stopping by. If you’re worried about altitude sickness, remember to prepare Rhodiola in advance. The viewing platform is windy and cold, so keep warm. Kangding’s beauty truly lives up to expectations!
