Haba Snow Mountain Trip

1️⃣A less-known secret place, more primitive than Yubeng The barrier lake deep in Haba Snow Mountain, Heihu Lake, is like a green gem embedded in the mountains. As it is a national designated natural ecological protection area, no commercial development is allowed, and it is very primitive. Our guide said that this is a high-altitude lake known only to locals, more primitive than Yubeng, more beautiful than Abujicuo, and almost no tourists can be seen except for a few heavy-duty outdoor walkers. 2️⃣The legendary wishing tree is here Heihu Lake is a sacred lake of the Naxi people, and the fiery red sacred tree stands alone 🍁The guide introduced that if you make a wish under the crown of the sacred tree, it will come true It only turns completely red for a short ten days a year, and I was lucky to catch up 3️⃣Watch the sunrise on the golden mountain, it is the best viewing position Heihu Lake is the only place where you can see the full view of Haba Snow Mountain, the reflection in the lake, and the sunrise on the golden mountain 🌄When you wake up in the morning and go out, you can see the sunrise on the golden mountain, which is extremely beautiful in a short time In the morning, I saw clouds drifting over Haba Snow Mountain, and the clear reflection of the snow mountain in the lake was very shocking! ⏰My itinerary: Day1 From Haba Village to Heihu Lake Camp (8.5km), stay overnight at Heihu Lake Passing through Dela Ranch and Orchid Flat, there are alpine meadows, lakes and streams, and primitive forests along the way, and the scenery is changeable Day2 👉🏻Get up early, watch the sunrise on the golden mountain and the reflection in Haba Lake The snow mountain that I have to climb the next day stands in front of me, and the awe that is unspeakable 👉🏻In the morning, go to see the fiery red sacred tree I made a very devout wish under the sacred tree, got close to Heihu Lake, and under the sun, Heihu Lake had turned from the pitch black of the previous day to a clear gem green 👉🏻At noon, set off for the snow mountain base camp, arrive at dinner time 🍃Hiking Tips: 🤍The sacred tree is very seasonal, if you want to witness the full red, the best season is around mid-October after the National Day every year 🤍The temperature difference between day and night is large, and the weather is changeable. We had a sunny day in the early stage, a small part of the rainy day in the middle, and a waterproof hard shell is the best choice for a storm jacket. In addition, mountain climbing shoes must be waterproof, and many of the hiking routes pass through streams and rain-soaked lawns
