Half in the human world, half in the fairyland
Lenggacuo: Truly half in the fairyland, half in the human world.
If I hadn't experienced it myself, I think it would be really hard for me to understand that this is the charm of Gongga Snow Mountain, both a fairyland and the human world.
The most beautiful moment here is the sunset over Gongga, when the sun shines on the golden mountain, the king of the Shu mountains, it's extremely magnificent. The sea of clouds and the reflection of Gongga Snow Mountain are also very spectacular! If you have the time and interest, why not come and see for yourself.
Here's a guide to Lenggacuo
Routes
Route A: Bangmujide, horse riding, 200 for one trip (1h), motorcycle down the mountain, also 200 (18min), direct to the flatland.
Route B: Up to Chijicun, motorcycle round trip 200, the last part near the lake you have to walk to Lenggacuo lake surface
Personal experience: I took route A, horse riding can get you to the flatland, wear a hat and gloves to protect against the wind, overall it takes about an hour. Also, walking is an option, it needs to be simple and more comfortable, it's quite hot when walking, so dress according to your personal situation.
My friend took route B, the last 100 meters near the lake surface you have to climb up, which is a bit strenuous.
Departure time: I left at 3:30 pm, rode the horse and arrived after 4 pm, saw the golden mountain at 6:30 pm, and started descending the mountain around 7 pm
Dress: The temperature is low, wear a thick down jacket, thermal clothing, fleece pants, gloves, hat, sunglasses
Carry-on: Hand warmers, oxygen bottles, power bank, thermos (it's too cold), some change (poor signal on the mountain), altitude sickness medicine, glucose, chocolate
There are milk tea and instant noodles in the mountain huts, not sure if they are open
Lenggacuo personal experience
Whether you can see the golden mountain illuminated by the sun completely depends on the weather, if the weather is bad, the trip is a waste, so weigh this before you set off
Altitude sickness: The altitude is 4600 meters, vigorous exercise can easily lead to altitude sickness, it's not recommended to go there right away
The high altitude means walking takes almost 2 hours, horse riding is more comfortable, motorcycles are a bit ~
Directly a waste, so weigh this before you set off
Time: The golden mountain illuminated by the sun around 6 pm, try to descend the mountain before 7 pm, it's not safe to go down after dark, after 6 pm there seem to be no horses, and not many motorcycles, thinking back on the motorcycle ride down the mountain, I was really scared and held on tight!
How fortunate to have met Lenggacuo, will see it again!
