Beautiful scenery always comes at a price. It is definitely worth checking out. We chose to hike the entire way. On the way, we saw a girl fall off a cliff from her horse's back. It was caused by the horse running out of control. It looked very painful. Friends who ride horses must pay attention to safety and do not do anything that may scare the horse, including throwing stones or water bottles.
This trip to the Yala Snow Mountain completely exceeded my expectations and was an unforgettable journey to the plateau.
In terms of scenery, the Yala Snow Mountain is worthy of being one of the four sacred mountains in Tibet. Its main peak, at 5,820 meters, is majestic and imposing. The mountain's shape changes dramatically depending on the vantage point. From Tagong Grassland, it appears shaped like a lotus throne; from Bamei Town, it takes on a captivating crown shape. The crystal-clear Yala Youcuo Lake within the scenic area reflects the blue sky and snow-capped peaks, creating a breathtaking scene. The primeval redwood forest below the snow line, along with waterfalls, meadows, and wildflowers along the way, creates a breathtaking natural landscape, each one worth stopping to admire and photograph.
As for the experience, a sightseeing bus provides direct access to the core area of the scenic area, saving considerable energy. For a deeper immersion in the charm of the snow-capped mountains, hiking or horseback riding are also possible. While some sections of the hike are challenging, with gravel roads, the scenery along the way makes one forget the fatigue. As you approach the snow-capped mountains, a sense of conquest and awe for nature arise naturally. Furthermore, the scenic area is less commercialized, allowing you to more fully experience the tranquility and beauty of nature.
However, there are some caveats to consider when visiting the Yala Snow Mountain. For example, the plateau weather is unpredictable, with significant temperature swings between morning and evening, so be sure to bring a windproof jacket and warm clothing. Dining options are limited within the scenic area, so it's best to bring energy snacks and drinking water. Furthermore, some sections of the route are at high altitudes, making altitude sickness more likely. It's recommended to prepare anti-altitude medication and oxygen tanks in advance.
Overall, the Yala Snow Mountain is a truly worthwhile destination. Its natural beauty and unique plateau charm are truly worthwhile. Whether you're a photography enthusiast, a hiker, or just someone seeking to experience the charm of nature, there's something to discover here that will delight and move you.

Moshi Park | A must-see on the Western Sichuan Small Loop! A truly exotic experience without any disappointments
If you're driving by here on the Western Sichuan Small Loop, I highly recommend stopping here for a stroll; it won't disrupt your itinerary at all! On the contrary, skipping it could leave you with some awkward time if your itinerary isn't fully planned. It's perfect for someone like me who prefers to be on a tight schedule.
The most stunning thing is the scenery; it feels like being on a completely alien planet! This unique geological formation is rarely seen elsewhere. From a distance, it might look like just a rocky mountain, but once you step inside, the sense of vastness and wonder is overwhelming. It's a completely different experience from just glancing at it from a distance, and any casual photo opportunity is truly stunning.
A word of warning: the park is at a considerable altitude, so those with altitude sickness should slow down and avoid running or jumping. There are short hikes up the park, but they're not difficult and are easily manageable, so don't worry too much about your energy level.
Overall, it's a "don't miss it if you're passing by" type of place. It's definitely worth stopping by to experience this unique landscape!
Moshi Park
Gray mountains rise in waves
Mylonite rocks are barren of grass
Stone troughs and pillars are in a variety of shapes
Unusual valleys and peaks have a thousand forms
Ten thousand swords pierce the sky and pierce the Milky Way
Colors change with the seasons
The bizarre appearance of the ink-and-wash stone forest
An alien planet astonishes the world
October 23, 2025, Litang
Note: Moshi Park is located in Bamei Town, Daofu County, Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan Province. Due to its unique topography and complex structure, it has been dubbed the "Bermuda of geology" by experts and scholars.
Mylonite is formed by the erosion of mountains due to geological activity. These rocks are weathered by water, snow, and gravity, as well as by factors such as humidity and sunlight, gradually forming the diverse and magnificent mylonite stone forest landscape we see today.
The stone forest also displays different colors depending on the season, weather, and changes in light and humidity, earning it the nickname "an alien planet."
