  Snow Mountain and Grassland trip

Gongga Mountain is also known as Miyagongga. Gong means snowcap, all year around, Gad means of white color. Gongga put together means white snow-capped. Miyagongga is located in the Tibetan traditional holy Buddhist area. Gongga Mountain belongs to the cross section branch of the big snow mountain main chain. It is situated in the east of Tibet and west of Sichuan.

The main mountain is 7556 meters high and is the highest Mountain in east of the Tibet. There are 45 mountains over 6000 meter high close to the main mountain. Because the average height of the main mountains of the Gongga Mountain Chain is 5500 meters, they have permanent white snow all year around, with silver light glitter that can be seen hundreds of meters away. The Gongga snow Mountain is close to the blue sky and among the white clouds. It gives us magic and changeable feelings. At the foot of the mountain it has mild weather, thick plains, Forest Sea, and mountain flowers all over. In most East Asia, the ancient glacier at low sea level and as long as a thousand meter waterfall has flowed for thousand years, and is famous all over the world. Gongga Mountain is a sacred Mountain in Tibetan Buddhism, which believes one goddess was changed into mountain. It is a sister to Mount Everest. Tagong Grassland is located at northwest of the Kangding city in the Kangba area, close to the southwest of God Mountain Yala, the average height of the Grassland is over 3600 meter above sea level, the Grassland is flat and wide, and it is very beautiful close to the God Mountain Yala. The Tagong Temple which is on the Grassland is more resplendescent and looks like one bright pearl sprinkling the length and breadth of land. It adds more delight to the Grassland which is full of essential vital force. Every holiday the Tibetan, who are good at singing, sing, dance, and gather on the Grassland; it all shows the Kangda people who has heroic and rough character. Mugecuo has another name, which is Yerenhai (wild people sea); it has a very famous view and key point of interest in Kangba area. It is famous for its natural views of highland and lake. The beautiful tale, pretty sights, flaming sunshine and comfortable spring bath are important reasons that attract the tourists to come here! God Mountain Yala with Kangding in the Ganzi canton in Sichuan, Daofu and Danbu are three towns that gather up 5884-meter above sea level. It lays face to face with the northwest side of the Moerduo God Mountain. The top of this mountain also has snow all the year round. It is a famous God Mountain in Kangba area; the Yala River originates here. On the Yala God Mountainside, which is more than 4000 meters high, there are two Haizi, which are not 300 meters apart. Their waters flow direction is from south to north and finally the two sides join, so it becomes one beautiful natural view.
