1️⃣ 'Jiajin Mountain' means towering and steep mountain in Tibetan. The local folk song says, 'Birds can't fly over it, and people can't climb it.' In June 1935, the brave Red Army conquered it, but many soldiers stayed here forever. 2️⃣ Leaving Dengchigou and continuing north, the mountains become more majestic. After an hour's drive, we arrived at Qiaoqi Lake at the foot of Jiajin Mountain. This lake was formed by the construction of the Qiaoqi Hydropower Station on the upper reaches of the Baoxing River in 2002. At the southern end of Qiaoqi Lake, a green pine tree guards the Red Army tomb beneath it, with red ribbons fluttering in the wind on its trunk. This is the 'Red Army Umbrella.' Back then, Tibetan compatriots spontaneously buried the unburied remains of Red Army soldiers here and planted a green pine tree above them. Every year, they tie red scarves and khatas to commemorate them. Ninety years later, the tree has grown tall like an umbrella, and the Red Army tomb remains intact, with white chrysanthemums offered in remembrance. To the north of Qiaoqi Lake, the 'Monument to the Red Army Crossing Jiajin Mountain' stands solemnly, facing north and south. Surrounded by green mountains and clear waters with red stars dotted around, looking back at the heroic days of the past, I can't help but feel a surge of passion: the clear wind shines on a sunny day, the clear water ripples, and the pine waves remain the same. 3️⃣ Tomorrow we will cross Jiajin Mountain. It's still early, so we drive to the Shenmulei Scenic Area to calm our excited hearts. Shenmulei is a meadow under the Pagra Sacred Mountain, at an altitude of about 2700 meters. The original redwood forest and alpine meadows in the scenic area are suitable for quiet walks, but the facilities need improvement. Compared to the lakeside, it seems a bit plain. I am Anxiang Yingxiu, sharing stories in the scenery with you.

There are three spots in total: Qiaoqi Lake, Shenmulei, and Dawagengzha, all of which are very close. You only need a little more than one day to visit, with the highest altitude being over 3800 meters. I didn't see anyone with altitude sickness, so a weekend trip is completely OK. The green lake, snow-capped mountains, streams, waterfalls, and fir trees, you can see all of these here. Although the grandeur of the scenery is not comparable to Western Sichuan, it is closer and without the risk of altitude sickness. Leisurely itinerary option one Day 1: Depart at 8-9 am, Chengdu-Qiaoqi Lake-Shenmulei-Dawagengzha entrance for accommodation Day 2: Wake up at 4 am, walk to Dawagengzha to take the scenic area bus to the mountain top, walk on the plank road, wait to watch the sunrise, and descend around 8 am, leisurely return to Chengdu.
