Yanzigou to see
1.? Snowy mountains and glaciers:
Yanzigou is located in the east of Gongga Snow Mountain and Hailougou with the two routes to climb Gongga Snow Mountain (both difficult to climb). Go to swallow ditch is mainly to see the snow mountain and glacier. When the weather is good can be seen in the ditch at an altitude of 5000 meters above the 16 snow mountains, glacier scale can also be comparable to the Hailuogou, you can go to the glacier to play (if you have the equipment), you can also see avalanches, ice avalanches.
2.? Red Rock Beach:
Yanzigou in the stones are basically long red moss, piled up together is still very spectacular, especially with the tree hangings put together in a good color. Autumn and yellow leaves together is also a good color combination.
3.? Hot springs:
Yanzigou is not like Hailuogou with a large area of hot springs that can be soaked, but there is still a warm medicinal spring that can be drunk. According to locals, Yanzigou's hot spring resources are still relatively large, after development should also be able to reach the size of the bubble bath. That hot spring behind the mineral water factory is said to have a beer flavor.
4.? Vegetation:
You can see azalea trees all over the mountain, and the mountain must be very beautiful in May when the azaleas bloom.
5. Streams:
There are more streams in Yanzigou. There are three big ones, the size of which are catching up with the river, if there is any water (it's dry season now), and three or five small ones (or maybe it's the same one I've crossed three or five times). You can see ice in the winter, and backtracking in the spring is a good activity, but be safe and don't backtrack in the summer or fall, especially after rain.
