Gongga Mountain View in Lenggacuo
Lenggacuo is a mountain and lake in Ganze Tibetan Region in Sichuan. It's on high altitude, about 4300m.
The mountain is famous for its view on Gongga mountain (7566m) and the surrounding mountainous region. 🏔️ From the entrance (20RMB per person 🎟️) it's a 2 hours hike. You can also go with a horse. There is no food on the way, bring something with you.
📍Lenggacuo is in central Garze and belongs to Kangding. It's far from Kangding, so better book a hotel/guesthouse in Lenggacuo.
🚘 Renting a car or a driver is the best option to visit Lenggacuo. From Chengdu it's 7 hours... There is no train and no public bus.

Sunrise View On Gongga Mountain
Gongga Mountain is the highest mountain in Sichuan and the eastern-most mountain over 7000m in the world.
It's peak is 7556m above sea level. We watched the sunset around Gongga mountain in Ganze Tibetan area.
⏰ We went in October, the sunrise starts at 5:55. In summer it's earlier, in winter later.
📍How to get there? Of course it's not easy to get there. The Chinese name of the observation deck (it's not really a deck, more like many hills) is 子梅垭口. You need a good car, better a Jeep. Guesthouses in the area can arrange a driver for you.
🏨 Gongga Mountain village is a good option to stay... From there it's a 30-50 minutes drive to the top.

Wanggangping, Sichuan
So ideal to view Gongga Mountain, also known as od Mountain of Gongga. We visited this mountain via a tour company ‘Panda Discovery’ and everything was perfect. The cable car is the steepest in Sichuan and you feel the atmosphere around changing as you go higher into the mountain. The bed of clouds made you feel like you were in heaven.
