The original plan was to go around Tagong today to see Yala Snow Mountain, stroll around Tagong Grassland, and then stay in Jiagenba. However, the plan did not change fast, and finally Bhawanghai was obtained.

The weather was pretty good when I got up early in the morning. I went to see the Yala Snow Mountain next to the Muya Jin Pagoda. The backlight in the morning was only the effect. Rizhao Jinshan can only be seen in the evening.

So head towards Kangding Airport and look at the snow-capped mountains from another angle. Friends with good eyes can see the yak all over the hillside😄

I never thought that I saw the Gongga sacred mountain without going far, although it was more than a hundred kilometers away, it was still very shocking. So he decided to rush to Zimeiyakou to try his luck.

Zimeiyakou now charges 20 yuan per person for garbage disposal.

It started to fog as soon as I reached halfway up the mountain.

At Zimei Pass, the visibility is about 5 meters, and Gongga is even harder to find. 囧～

What's up, Milu asked me if there is any place to go, and I said that I would cross the mountain and go to Zimei Village to see the Bawang Sea.

On the way down the mountain, the secret donkey's toes clenched tightly.

Shangzimei Village has no mobile phone signal. This is a real "haven". On the far left is the Wangdui family. I will live in his home tonight.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, we drove to Bawanghai, the road was narrow.

Through the virgin forest

Horse looking for food

Pavement built with pebbles on the river beach

At this time it was late and the light was poor.

Need to cross a river beach

Occasionally encounter villagers who go up the mountain to collect medicine

The villager picked up an antler

It is said that it can be sold for 500 yuan. The villagers told me that the antlers will naturally grow to a certain extent and fall off, and then new antlers will grow. Hearing this, I breathed a sigh of relief, and thought it was broken 😓

There are several wading sections

The trail up the mountain to gather herbs

There are few people on the way along the Bawang Sea, and it seems very quiet.

Deep into the hinterland

Such tree roots can be seen everywhere, and if processed by a master, they will surely become pieces of art.

Scenery along the way

A piece of dead wood, wherever you go, there is a road.

Only in the fairy tale world have you seen such a scene, maybe there is a wizard living here.

Take photos along the way

The front is Bawanghai

There is relatively little water in this season, the sky is gloomy, and the Bhawang Sea is still full of spirituality.

The Gongga glacier melted into water, which merged with the fine sand on the river bed.

If the weather is fine, Haizi will reflect the color of the sky like a dream.

Bawanghai

The mountain road from Zimei Village to Bawanghai is the end here. Travelers will hike back and forth between Bawanghai and Caoke Township to experience the most primitive ecological environment and beautiful scenery. There are often bicycles and motorcycles along the way.

The trekking exit of Caoke Township to Bawanghai

Seeing it was getting late, my secret donkey and I had to return. Secret donkey was deeply impressed by the primitiveness and mystery of the Bawang Sea. He said, "Come to Bawang Sea tomorrow morning"

Firewood at the door of Wangdui's house

Wangdui is a well-known guide in Zimei Village. His home is filled with banners of outdoor teams and messages from fellow travellers. Some of the messages are irritating 😂

Wangdui had something to go out. His wife made us delicious noodles with fungus, sauerkraut, wild mushrooms and beef.

Wangdui’s wife is the boss’s wife, and his son’s name is "the boss" 😂

In Wangdui's house, besides me and Mi donkey, there were two "horses", one man and one woman. According to reports, the woman is a famous guide from Old Yulin, Duoji, and the other is a groom hired by her family. Today, they just sent a group of donkeys to Bawanghai and went on foot to Caoke Township. It was said that it took them 9 days to cross from Lao Yulin to Gongga and encounter heavy snow.
