Western Sichuan | Face Mount Yala Directly!

Western Sichuan | Face Mount Yala Directly! You must go to this viewpoint~||This is the closest viewpoint to Mount Yala, the shock of facing the snow mountain directly can only be truly experienced when you are there, and the final climbing stairs are the ultimate test for your body and mind~ When traveling in Western Sichuan, the Cloud-Wrapped Yala Viewpoint is a must-go! 📍Spot: Cloud-Wrapped Yala Viewpoint Navigate directly there. After reaching the toll point (seems to be 25 per person), you still need to drive for a while. It's all gravel mountain roads, so try to use an off-road vehicle~ There is no navigation for the latter half, don't doubt it, just drive straight to the summit in one go. There is a small service station at the summit. To finally reach the viewpoint, you still need to walk up a flight of stairs about a hundred meters high. It's very easy to get altitude sickness. If you feel tired, stop and rest, take a breath of oxygen, and persevere. The final view is definitely worth it! 📸Photography: Actually, the angle from the small hill to the left of the viewpoint should be good. The blogger didn't go that day because the wind was too strong, and only took photos at the viewpoint~ Specifically about photo 2 below, using prayer flags as the foreground to frame Mount Yala, this composition is also good, but it requires an ultra-wide lens. Fortunately, I brought the Starry Sky 9mm lens, which is specifically for dealing with this kind of angle~ (Photo 3 was also taken with Starry Sky 9) Also, because I had to go to Gao'er Temple that day to photograph the sunset golden mountain of Mount Gongga, I only took a few photos here and left, what a pity! Next time I must come to photograph the sunrise golden mountain~
