My 2023 - Ganchuan Qing Travel Notes (10) Longge Mountain Pass

From Seda to Jiuzhi, along G345 into Baiyu Township, Jiuzhi County, over the Longge Mountain Pass at an altitude of 4398 meters. From here you can overlook the Guoluo God Mountain of Nianbao Yuzhe, a series of ancient mountain ranges that are the watershed of the Yangtze and Yellow rivers. Dozens of kilometers of snow-capped mountains are spread out like a scroll, a vast landscape, mountains outside the mountains, connected into a piece, the outline of the mountain ridge is either soft and graceful, or jagged, like a fairy naked between heaven and earth, without decoration but already beautiful. The clouds are undulating between the snow-capped mountains, where the clouds are, the sky shows a pure blue background, like the hand of a god, stroking the curve of the mountain ridge, heaven and earth! - The most beautiful scenery is always on the road. Arriving at the entrance of the Nianbao Yuzhe Scenic Area, a deserted and abandoned visitor center, a road-blocking car parked at the gate, a roadblock set up, and a closed notice board. It was already past three in the afternoon, the clouds were covering, the weather was getting darker, and it started to snow. Leaving for Jiuzhi County, the snow was getting bigger and bigger, and after driving slowly for an hour and a half, we safely arrived at the snow-covered Jiuzhi County Zhisong Qingduo Town.
