Gongmu Mountain in Yanyuan|A Divine Couple in the Danxia Secret Realm, Every Snap Is a Masterpiece! Must-Visit Reason: The "Couple Mountain" is sweetening the air online! A billion-year-old CP

🏔️Gongmu Mountain in Yanyuan|A Divine Couple in the Danxia Secret Realm, Every Snap Is a Masterpiece!📸 🌟Must-Visit Reason The "Couple Mountain" is sweetening the air online! A billion-year-old CP showing off their love live~ A naturally paired yin-yang stone pillar, a masterpiece of nature’s craftsmanship, free to see! 🚗Travel Tips 📍Address: Gongmu Mountain Scenic Area, Yanyuan County, Liangshan Prefecture Self-drive: 2.5 hours from Xichang, last 20 minutes on winding mountain roads, be careful when passing other vehicles Shuttle bus: Xichang Tourist Bus Station → Yanyuan County (6 trips daily), then a 15-minute taxi ride from the county town 🔥Must-Do Checkpoints 1️⃣ Gongmu Stone Viewing Platform A tricky angle photo spot! Recommended to arrive before 9 AM, morning mist + sunrise gild the mountain edges 🤫Easter egg: From the side it looks like elephants kissing, from the back like a scepter... find all 5 shapes and you win! 2️⃣ Fairy Pool Legend says this is where the Queen Mother of the West washed her feet~ The pool water changes color with the weather (when we went it was Tiffany Blue!) 💡Hidden tip: Picking up patterned stones by the pool can serve as a love charm (locals say so) 🥘Foodie Supply Station 【Yanyuan BBQ Trio】 🍢Highland pork: grilled with pine branches! The fat bursts like fireworks in your mouth 🍎Candied apple slices: directly supplied from orchards at the foot of Gongmu Mountain, sweeter than first love 🧊Cold jelly rolls: sold from a pushcart by a local lady, topped with crushed peanuts + spicy sauce, absolutely amazing 📸Photo Tips ▫️Wear red or white! The Danxia landform background makes colors pop ▫️Stake out at 4 PM for the "yin-yang light," the mountain naturally divides into light and shadow ▫️Drone users note: height limit in the scenic area is 120 meters (but using 0.5x wide angle on your phone can capture the whole scene) 😎Pitfall Prevention Guide ✓ Don’t buy the "wild lingzhi mushrooms" at the scenic spot entrance (they’re actually tea tree mushrooms in disguise) ✓ Signal on the mountain is unstable, download offline maps in advance ✓ If you encounter a troop of monkeys blocking the road, hand over snacks proactively (choose whether to protect your bag or your chips) 🏠Accommodation Easter Egg Farm stays outside the scenic area gate, 100 RMB can get you a starry sky room! At night, look up to see the Milky Way’s washing machine mode rolling~

Autumn and winter at Lugu Lake are a dream woven with blue and gold!

🌄 Lost in the Serenity of Lugu Lake 💙✨ Some places don’t just take your breath away — they calm your soul. Lugu Lake, resting quietly between Yunnan and Sichuan, felt like stepping into a dream I never wanted to wake from. 💭🌊 The morning mist floated above the still water like silk ☁️, wrapping the mountains in mystery. As the first sunlight touched the lake, it sparkled like thousands of tiny diamonds ✨ — so peaceful that even time seemed to slow down. I took a deep breath, and for a moment, all my worries disappeared into the wind. 🌬️💫 I rented a small wooden boat ⛵ with a local Mosuo guide. He told stories of the “Kingdom of Women,” the matriarchal culture that still thrives here. Hearing about their traditions — love without marriage, respect for freedom, harmony with nature — made me reflect deeply on what happiness really means. ❤️🌺 Drifting across the blue mirror of the lake, I watched the reflections of clouds, mountains, and prayer flags fluttering in the distance 🌈. Every corner seemed like a living postcard — pure, untouched, and poetic. 📸💧 At sunset 🌅, the sky turned into a painting of gold and lavender. The cool evening breeze brushed against my face, carrying the scent of pine trees and bonfires from the nearby village 🔥🌲. Sitting by the lakeside with a warm cup of butter tea ☕, I felt a rare kind of peace — the kind that reminds you how beautiful simplicity can be. 🌿🕊️ If heaven had an address, it might just be here — at Lugu Lake. 💌💧 #Yunnan #LuguLake #TravelDiary #NatureHeals #Wanderlust💙✨
