Who understands! The Gangshika Snow Mountain in October is so beautiful it leaves you speechless!!

Just a 3-hour drive from Xining, you enter this blue secret realm embraced by snow-capped mountains—Lianxin Lake really looks like two hearts beating within the snowy peaks, the lake water so blue it seems to have blended the entire blue sky into it 💙 ▫️【Tips for Activities】 1. On the hike to Lianxin Lake, every step is a wallpaper! The meadows turn yellow in October, perfectly matching the white snowy peaks, every photo looks like a "Nordic vibe"~ ​ 2. Be sure to get up early to catch the sunrise! The golden sunlight gilds the snow peaks, and the lake’s reflection is absolutely stunning, your friends will ask for the location 800 times! ​ 3. You must try the Kangguo lamb in Qingshizui Town! On a chilly day, a pot of it warms you right to the heart~ ▫️【Avoid Pitfalls】 - The wind at the summit is very strong, keep your hat, scarf, and gloves firmly on! ​ - Wear anti-slip hiking shoes for the trek, the snowy ground can be slippery~ This underestimated snowy mountain lake, with fewer people and beautiful scenery in October, promise me you must come to Gangshika for a snowy mountain rendezvous!
