#Mount Dawagengzha Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Sichuan self-driving tour, watching the sunrise, snow-capped mountains, sea of clouds, and stars, I also want to go to Dawa Gengzha
Sichuan is a great place, once you go, you want to go again. 'Not entering Sichuan when young, not leaving Shu when old,' speaks of everyone's love for Sichuan. I took the kids to Sichuan twice, once strolling through Chengdu's Wide and Narrow Alleys, visiting the zoo to see giant pandas, entering Sichuan University, and exploring ancient towns... One year, I took the kids to Leshan to see the Giant Buddha, to Meishan to eat Dongpo pork, to Kangding to feel the plateau, and to Bipeng Gorge for a close encounter with pandas🐼. When asked about the places the second child visited in childhood, there is little memory due to being young. Recently, I've been wanting to travel to Sichuan. One year, Ena and Zhe were boarding, and the couple went to Dawa Gengzha in Sichuan, watching the stars, sea of clouds, snow-capped mountains, sunrise... and the beautiful autumn scenery, which still looks like a dream, breathtakingly beautiful.
Stealing half a day of leisure, one autumn I went to Dawa Gengzha in Baoxing County, Ya'an, Sichuan. It is a Tibetan township where you can see the starry sky, sea of clouds, sunrise, and snow-capped mountains... Because during the National Day holiday, a friend's family had been there and experienced wind, rain, snow... but did not see the starry sky and sea of clouds, as seeing them is a matter of fate. When they heard we were going to Chengdu, they insisted on taking us to see that beautiful place. Fortunately, the weather was good during the two days we went, and we just saw all of these... Perhaps this is a blessing, a silent prayer, a gift from heaven. Here's an introduction:
Dawa Gengzha Scenic Area is located within Garze Tibetan Township in Baoxing County, Ya'an City, Sichuan Province, covering an area of nearly 50 square kilometers, with the highest peak at 3866 meters above sea level, part of the Qionglai Mountain Range, with high terrain in the north and low in the south, known as 'Asia's best 360° viewing platform.' Dawa Gengzha means 'beautiful sacred mountain' in Tibetan, and the area offers views of famous mountains such as the Four Girls Mountain to the north, Pagela Mountain to the south, Gongga Peaks to the west, and Mount Emei to the east. It is also known for its sea of clouds, sunrise, Buddha's light, rime, meadows, lakes, canyons, peaks, highland azaleas, Tibetan villages, and other landscapes.
With hands that can pick stars, sea of clouds, sunrise, snow-capped mountains... To see these, we stayed in a Tibetan family's home near Dawa Gengzha the night before. The enthusiastic brother treated us with good wine and meat. Talking to him, he raised many free-range sheep, pigs, and dairy cows, and his wife performed in the county town. The next morning, just after 4 a.m., we set off for the summit of Dawa Gengzha. When we arrived, we could see the stars; it was just that the temperature at the summit was low, a bit too cold; slowly, the sea of clouds rose, and after sunrise, we could see the opposite snow-capped mountains. It was truly beautiful, indescribable in words.
The sunrise at Dawa Gengzha in Ya'an, Sichuan, is very beautiful. For photography-loving Dad Zhe, it's never enough to shoot, and he accidentally fell. I was really afraid he would fall off the mountain. The mountain top is slippery, be careful of falling, safety first!
Seeing those, I couldn't help but greet in my heart: Good morning, sea of clouds; good morning, sunrise; good morning, Buddha's light; good morning, snow-capped mountains; good morning, nature... This Tibetan-inhabited place under Baoxing, Ya'an, Sichuan, Dawa Gengzha, is truly a treasure of a tourist destination. The scenery is beautiful, the Buddha's light shines everywhere, facing the sun, it's very comfortable, very beautiful. Any random shot is a beautiful view.
Beautiful Ya'an, Sichuan, with its lovely lakes, red and dotted autumn colors, truly beautiful. There, the air is better than in the city, filled with the scent of happiness. It's not enough to go several times, like the time we went to Bipeng Gorge to see the giant pandas, attracted by the mountains, water, and cute pandas. A person should always have pursuits in life to be optimistic, sunny, and have positive energy. Thanks to friends for their company, every time I go to Sichuan, they warmly welcome me, either staying at their home, with Sichuan cuisine at will: boiled fish, boiled pork slices... all hand-made!
From the top of Dawa Gengzha, you can see famous mountains in all directions, such as the Four Girls Mountain to the north, Pagela Mountain to the south, and enjoy various natural landscapes such as sea of clouds, golden mountain lit by the sun, Buddha's light, starry sky, and more. It's really worth a visit, and if you like nature and a peaceful environment, this place is definitely worth a visit, and I hope to bring the kids here someday.
Travel, for me, is a way to recharge. When you go out to play, relax and let go, work is not so much of a concern, and the pressure is not so great. The vast world, facing the open view, beautiful scenery, is a way to relieve stress, and people become comfortable, natural... I hope the future will be more and more beautiful😊.
Baoxing in Ya'an is a more suitable alternative to the Western Sichuan Plateau for babies with general physique!
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.
Tight schedule option two
Day 1: Depart at 5 pm, Chengdu-Dawagengzha entrance for accommodation, stroll around and have a barbecue in the evening
Day 2: Wake up at 4 am, walk to Dawagengzha to take the scenic area bus up the mountain, walk on the plank road, wait to watch the sunrise, and descend around 8 am, pass by Qiaoqi Lake on the way to Shenmulei, play for 20-30 minutes, then to Shenmulei, play for 2-3 hours. You can return to Chengdu before 2 pm.
The third option is if you don't watch the sunrise, there's no need to stay there, and you can go back and forth in one day.

【Sichuan Dawa Gengzha Two-Day Tour Guide】
🌸Hello everyone, this time I want to share with you my two-day tour experience in Dawa Gengzha, it was really an unforgettable travel experience!✨
💼Travel preparation:
We chose to depart from Chengdu on the weekend, first to Ya'an, then to Qiaoqi Lake and Shenmu Lei, finally to Dawa Gengzha to watch the sunrise, and then return to Chengdu.
💰Cost:
The purchase of sunrise tickets is 140 yuan/person, including admission tickets and round-trip sightseeing car fees. If you choose to ride a motorcycle up the mountain, the cost is 120 yuan/person. Overall, the price is quite reasonable.
⏰Time arrangement:
Arrive at the entrance of the scenic spot at 5:30 in the morning, take a sightseeing car up the mountain, the journey takes about 30-40 minutes. After getting off the bus, you need to walk to the viewing platform, or choose to ride a motorcycle for 7-8 minutes, the cost is 120 yuan/person. The sunrise is generally at 7:20-7:30, so it is recommended to arrive at the viewing platform around 6:50.
🏠Accommodation choice:
You can choose to stay in tents or log cabins at the entrance of the scenic spot or inside the scenic spot. Although the conditions are relatively simple, it is also a good choice to experience outdoor camping.
📸Photography tips:
The top of the mountain is a place where most tourists will go, and it is also a good location for shooting the sunrise. In addition, Niu Xinpo is also a good place to shoot the sea of clouds. There is also a viewing platform next to the parking lot, which is a good choice for friends who are not in good health. Of course, keeping warm and preventing altitude sickness are also essential.
🍃Travel feelings:
The trip to Dawa Gengzha made me feel the grandeur and mystery of nature. The beautiful scenery at the moment of sunrise made me feel that all the preparations and waiting were worth it. At the same time, it also made me cherish our natural landscape more. I hope my guide can help your travel plans, let's go and explore more beautiful places together!🌈
Dawa Ghaza, located in the village of Yuri Village, Baoji County, Baoxing County, Sichuan Province, is known as the beautiful mountain of the gods.
There is a 24km Tongtian Road, which has a steep terrain and a vast landscape. I went there twice before I went to Dawa, and I was deeply shocked by the beauty here.
Sunrise, starry sky, sea of clouds, meteor, all here, the beauty of nature is beyond words, just want to go again!
Look at Yunjuan Yunshu, listen to meteors across, climb the road to heaven~
The beauty of the peerless world is always hidden in the steep spot, so the road to Dawa is more difficult. With ten years of driving experience, I climbed to the top of the mountain in a muddy road with heavy fog. I thought this was the end of victory. .
But God said, you TOO YOUNG TOO SIMPLE. . .
The wind and rain on the top of the mountain quickly taught us to be a man. The tent that I just took out can fly like a kite. For us who want to camp, this may be a mockery.
The Tibetan uncle who repaired the road saved us. The warm work shed is our Genting Villa
Thank you, my dear Uncle Wangm
listened to the wind and rain in the clouds until the morning glow The glory of the dawn, the sleepy eyes, the front, the boundless sea of clouds
and those who can not name, 360 degrees surrounded by snowy red.
At the time, I still had the illusion that I didn't wake up. . .
Until the cloud rises out of the familiar Siguniang Mountain sister peak, sacred to make people want to make a long head.
