About Gongga Mountain Gongga Mountain is located in Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan Province, China. There are more than 100 peaks with an altitude of five or six kilometers around. It is the easternmost mountain in the world, 7 kilometers high. I believe many people have heard of the name "Gongga Mountain" and know that it is a veritable "king of mountains in Sichuan". In the horizontal distance of less than 30 kilometers from the Dadu River Valley on the southern slope of Gongga Mountain to the main peak, the vertical drop of Gongga Mountain can reach more than 6,000 meters, far exceeding Mount Everest, and it is the largest short-distance drop area in the world.
Gongga Mountain is a world-famous mountain exploration and mountaineering holy land, but it is also the most difficult to conquer, and the difficulty of climbing to the top is far more than that of Mount Everest. According to statistics, so far, only 24 people have successfully climbed to the top, but 37 people were killed during and after climbing, including 14 Japanese. The death rate of mountaineering far exceeds that of 14% of Mount Everest and 30% of Mount Gregory, second only to Meili Snow Mountain.
Watch Gongga Mountain pilgrimage through the vast snow-capped mountains
Gongga Mountain is the "king of the hill of Shu" and a sacred mountain of Shu. We can go on a pilgrimage across the vast snow-capped mountains. Two trekking poles and a backpack, walk through the vast snowfield, feel the loneliness in this pure white world, and listen to your inner voice in silence.
Maybe this process is not easy. We may feel very tired. We may slip in the snow. When we reach the finish line and look back at the road we have traveled, we will understand that we have not only completed this road, but also completed the spiritual pilgrimage.
Take photos as much as you like.
Gongga Mountain is not only a paradise for outdoor lovers, but also a paradise for photographers. Everyone who loves photography will want to photograph a snowy mountain, a sunrise, a sunset and a strange landscape in western Sichuan all his life.
The towering main peak of Gongga Mountain, the colorful pool of the "Little Huanglong" Quanhuatan, the brilliant sunset with cold gold coins, and the golden sunrise at Zimeiyakou, Gongga Mountain has countless kinds of graceful scenery, waiting for that hand, pressing that shutter, and recording eternal beauty.
Under the sunshine, the "King of Shushan" shines brilliantly. The main peak is covered with snow all year round, and only a small brown mountain is occasionally exposed, majestic and holy.
