Tiejiangshan Pass

铁匠山垭口

In early autumn, the smithy mountain pass, which is nearly 5000 meters above sea level, can see the road twisting, slowly up, the snowy mountain around the pass, the vegetation is lush, the natural scenery is beautiful, the scenery is intoxicating.

We stopped at the Tiejiangshan Pass, 4800 meters above sea level. Standing at the height of the pass, the Gnee Mountains appear at the end of the sky. This is the area where the Quaternary glacier remains intact and widely distributed in western my country, and typical ancient glacier remains can be seen everywhere. With the Blacksmith Mountain as the center, the mountains and slopes where you can see are covered with large and small rocks without edges, and glacial lakes formed by the movement and erosion of glaciers can be seen everywhere.

Even in Litang County, you can’t see the Gnee Mountain. If you want to see the Gnee Mountain as quickly as possible, you can see it by driving from Litang County to Tiejiangshan Pass for about half an hour. When entering the Gnee mountain area from the Blacksmith Mountain, you can not only see the Gnee main peak at a glance, but also seven snow mountains lined up, like a snow mountain barrier, which is very spectacular, so there are "Gnee 8" Gou, Gougou has different views.

Let me show you what is harder to walk than Bingchacha! Rock climbing all the way! The road is so narrow that it explodes! Although it is only 38 kilometers, it really allows you to walk for 3 hours! That’s right, it’s only three hours, and it’s not a hard-core off-road vehicle that is not an explosive change. Don’t come and die. It’s too difficult, really too difficult!
