Balagezong | Traverse mountains and rivers, the world is worthwhile

35 kilometers of mountain roads, 52 hairpin bends, and thus the name Balagezong appeared on the map. 🎫: I booked the trip directly at the inn, took the bus at the parking lot east of the ancient city gate next to the inn. It includes round-trip bus, in-scenic area bus, and stupa ticket. Itinerary: Depart at 9 am, the whole journey takes about 1 hour and 40 minutes to 2 hours. After arriving at the scenic area, the driver will tell everyone which bus to take back at the latest. It is recommended to sit on the left side on the way there, and on the right side on the way back. Route: 1️⃣ Balazhuomala Kang: There are explanations here. There are 8 white pagodas at the entrance, from where you can overlook Balage Village (ps. What I don't like here is the explanation, which takes too long, and when I wanted to pray on my own, I was interrupted, most of the time was spent on 'selling' blessing cards. Everyone just go with the flow and volunteer, haha.) 2️⃣ Balage Village: You can eat here and overlook the stupa. I ate at Yinshan Muye, and the view from the window on the second floor is really nice. 3️⃣ Echo Wall: Transfer here to go to the stupa, if you haven't bought a stupa ticket, you can also buy one here. 4️⃣ Stupa: It takes 1 hour by car to get to the stupa, but it's really worth a visit. The mountains meet here like a conference, very spectacular. The deepest snow can reach waist height, and it's very fun to play in the snow. 5️⃣ Echo Wall: (Due to time constraints, I skipped this spot) It's a plank road where you can enjoy the scenery, and at the end, you can take a cable car (💰120 yuan) 6️⃣ Grand Canyon: You can also walk on a plank road here, and at the end, you can go canyon drifting (💰120 yuan) 7️⃣ Main Entrance: You can go see the thousand-year-old Bodhi tree. I first learned about this place from the Reader episode featuring Si Na Dingzhu. The scenic area bus still plays the story about Balagezong, and walking on this road, watching this segment again, is still very touching.
