Wow… What’s the difference between this scenery on a hike and a painting?

This is probably the most fairy-tale-like hiking route I’ve ever seen🍂 The sacred mountain and holy lake of Yubeng are as beautiful as an oil painting, with autumn colors at their fullest saturation! - 🌲 Yubeng Viewing Platform Check-in Guide 📍 Location: Yubeng Scenic Area, Yunling Township, Deqin County, Diqing 🛣️ How to get there: About a 5-hour self-drive or chartered car from Shangri-La, then a 1-hour hike to reach the viewing platform 📸 Must-capture spots: 1. God’s perspective with snow-capped mountains and colorful forests in one frame (recommended to arrive before 9 AM, when the morning mist is most magical) 2. Golden barley fields at the prayer flag trail corner 3. Mani stone piles on the cliff edge ⚠️ Note: At an altitude of 3700 meters and requires uphill climbing, be sure to bring an oxygen bottle and trekking poles! Someone in our group suffered altitude sickness😭 - In front of you are the snowy peaks of the Meili Thirteen Peaks, beneath your feet the rustling fallen leaves, and Tibetan grandmas spinning prayer wheels passing by... This kind of shock can only be truly understood by experiencing it yourself! Looking back at the photos, I realized every casual shot is like a Windows desktop-level landscape🏔️ 🔖 Useful Tips: ✅ Best season: Mid to late October (peak autumn colors) ✅ Outfit suggestion: Outdoor jacket + hiking shoes + bright scarf (perfect for photos with prayer flags) ✅ Hidden experience: Find a local guide to take you on wild trails to discover many secret scenic spots Even the air here smells sweet with pine, truly deserving the title of "The Last Shangri-La"~
