Introduction to Trip Destinations:
Chengdu Panda Base
Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding (Chengdu Panda Base) attracts tourists and nature lovers worldwide. Conveniently located a short drive away from downtown, this state of the art research facility comfortably houses more pandas than anywhere else within China and abroad. During your visit, you will see pandas ranging from young cubs to lumbering adults as well as the elusive and adorable Red Panda. Additionally, the scenic, garden-like atmosphere of the panda base is especially ideal for urban birding like Red-billed Leiothrix, White-browed Laughingthrush, Ruddy Shelduck, Chinese Blackbird, Spotted Dove, etc.
Hailuogou Glacier Forest Park
The Hailuogou Glacier Forest Park is situated on the east slope of Mt. Minya Konka (7,556m) which is known as “The King of Mountains in Sichuan”. The direct distance between Hailuogou (Moxi Town) and Mt. Minya Konka is less than 10km but the elevation goes up from 1,600m to 7,556m. Hailuogou is China's only glacier forest park which is famous for the largest maturely-developed modern glaciers with the lowest elevation among those with the same latitude in the world. It is a perfect place of interest that combines with snow-capped mountains, clouds and mist, fantastic glaciers, primordial forests, hot springs, plateau sunshine, and red rocks. It is a great place to experience four seasons in one day.
Mt. Minya Konka (Mount Gongga)
Mt. Minya Konka (7,556m) is located at the eastern edge of the Tibetan Plateau, in the Daxue Shan Mountain Range, between Dadu River and Yalong River, part of the Hengduan mountainous region. It is the highest peak closest to a large city (Chengdu) in the world. In Tibetan, Konka means “snow white” as it is one of the most famous snow mountains that can be found in China. Covered in the snow all year round, Mt. Minya Konka is a very challenging mountain for mountaineers and trekkers as it is one of the most difficult mountains to conquer, far more difficult than Mt. Chomolungma (8,844.43m). Most people come to Mt. Minya Konka to trek and enjoy the amazing vista of snow-capped mountain scenery that takes your breath away.
Litang Monastery
Litang Monastery is also known as Ganden Thubchen Choekhorling Monastery, it is one of the oldest and largest Tibetan Buddhism monasteries in the Kham Area and was founded by the 3rd Dalai Lama (Sonam Gyatso, 1543-1588) in 1580. In the Tibetan area, it says "Three Big Monasteries of Lhasa ranks top, Ganden Thubchen Choekhorling Monastery of Litang in Kham ranks second, Ta’er Monastery in Amdo ranks third". Also, Litang is the birthplace of the Dalai Lama VII and the Dalai Lama X which has improved Litang and the monastery's influence. Besides, Litang Monastery got a huge reputation because Dalai Lama VII once taught in there.
Mt. Genie (Genie Mountain)
Mt.Genie is ranked as the third highest peak in Sichuan with an altitude of 6,204m after Mt. Minya Konka (7,556m) and Yaomeifeng (6,250m) of Mt. Siguniang. Mt.Genie is the thirteenth holy mountain among the twenty-four holy mountains of Tibetan Buddhism. Also, it is well known for the Old Lenggu Monastery, Tibetan village, virgin forest, beautiful grassland, alpine lakes, hot spring, etc. Mt. Genie is rarely known by people and it is a good place to take a hiking tour. On this trip, we will pay a visit to the Old Lenggu Monastery which was built in 1164 and faces the Mt. Genie. We may have the chance to spot Blue Sheep and Tibetan Partridge there.
Daocheng Yading National Park
Daocheng Yading National Park was first introduced to the western world by the famous Austrian-American adventurer Joseph F. Rock in 1928. The renowned “last pure land” centers around three sacred snow-capped mountains named Yangmaiyong (5,958m), Xiannairi (6,032m), and Xianuoduoji (5,958m). This region is comprised of some extraordinary forested valleys, crystal-clear rivers, and glacier-fed lakes. Additionally, the unique culture of the local Tibetan communities is reflected in the numerous colorful prayer flags, stupas, and marnyi stones that are ubiquitous in the area. It is also a well-known place for hiking.
Mt. Meili (Meili Snow Mountain)
Mt. Meili is one of the most sacred mountains of Tibetan Buddhism which is a holy land for worshiping. Pilgrims from Tibet, Qinghai, Sichuan, and Gansu come here at the beginning of each winter to worship. Located at Yunnan Province, Mt. Meili sits on the border of Yunnan and Tibet, where the three famous rivers, namely the Jinsha River, Mekong River, and Lancang River flow. The Kawagebo Peak (6,740m) of Mt. Meili is the highest in Yunnan. Mt. Meili is a challenging virgin mountain for all climbers from home and abroad as no one has ever reached the top. It is a must to admire the sunrise over the Meili Mountain.
Lijiang Ancient Town
Lijiang Ancient Town of Yunnan was listed as UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997. It is one of the four best-preserved ancient towns in China, along with Langzhong Ancient Town in Sichuan province, Pingyao Ancient Town in Shanxi province, and Shexian Ancient Town in Anhui province. As a well-preserved ancient town, Lijiang is also known its ethnic minorities with brilliant culture such as the Naxi ethnic minority. That is why the buildings here incorporate the best parts of the architectural traits of Han, Bai, and Tibet into a unique Naxi style. Also, in Lijiang, you will find its romantic and relaxing charm of the town without city walls.
