Don't want to stay at home during the May Day holiday? Want to enjoy the beauty of western Sichuan? Then you must not miss Cuopugou.
Snow mountains, lakes, forests, rivers, canyons, waterfalls, hot springs, grasslands, wild animals and temples, here condense the natural beauty and cultural landscape of Sichuan and Tibet.
Walking into Cuopugou, about five minutes by sightseeing bus, you will see a canyon covered in clouds and mist, and the Tibetan village in the distance is also faintly visible. Here is the hot pit hot spring. According to the "National Geographic" report: It includes almost all types of hot springs in the world. What's even more rare is that the hot springs here are highly ornamental. The pillars and the blue sky and snow peaks complement each other, and the sound of jets and water jets is as loud as drums, one after another, very shocking.
Continue to drive for about 10 minutes and you will arrive at Zhangde Grassland, the most beautiful plateau grassland. Zhangde means "pure land" in Tibetan, and it is a pasture in the three townships of Chaluo, Lieyi and Deda. In the endless wetland grassland, all kinds of wild flowers compete for beauty. You can leave an unforgettable moment at the "must drive in this life" check-in sign beside the road.
At the northern end of the Zhangde Grassland are Zhajinjiabo and Zhajinjiamo Mountains. According to legend, King Ling Gesar and Princess Zhumu passed by here when they were inspecting the world. They were attracted by the scenery of lakes and mountains, and they both turned into divine peaks, guarding this peaceful and peaceful land. . Zhajinjiabo Mountain has jagged cliffs, exposed rocks, and strange mountain shape, resembling a king in robes and crown standing proudly among the mountains.
Take the sightseeing bus to continue to the core scenic spots, and arrive at Cuopu Lake in about ten minutes. After the sightseeing bus stops, you can move freely. Climb to the hill next to "Tancheng" and get a glimpse of "the first holy lake in Kangba" - the whole picture of Cuopu Lake: she is backed by snow-capped mountains, surrounded by forests on three sides, and the lake is sparkling, giving people a strong sense of solemnity. A pool of clear water and mountains form an interesting contrast, fish are playing in the crystal clear lake water, various waterfowls in the center of the lake gather here, and the five-color wind horse flags by the lake are waving with the wind.
Walking along the plank road around the lake to the end is the entrance of Zhima Yongcuo. After hundreds of steps, the forest is full of scenery, and it suddenly becomes clear: the water is blue, and the clear Zhima Yongcuo is elegant and unique. Exit the same road, turn left for 300 meters, and you will see the green lake and beautiful Kangzhulacuo.
It takes ten minutes to walk along the plank road from Kangzhulacuo to Cuopu Road and then to Cuopu Temple. Cuopu Temple is a "Nyingma Sect" temple in Tibetan Buddhism, belonging to the Red Sect in Tibetan Buddhism, with an altitude of about 4200 meters , The climate is cool in summer, so it is called "the summer palace of King Gesar".
