This month, we travel to Daochen - The Last Shangri-la !!!
There are three separate sacred mountains: Xiannairi (6032 meters elevation), Yanmaiyong (5958 meters elevation) and Xianuoduji (5958 meters elevation).
It is said that the Gongga Sacred Mountain was Named by the No. 5 Dalai Lama. Among the peaks of the sacred mountain, there are many highland lakes, with “the Five –color Lake” famous most, which is regarded as the sacred lake by the local people. It is said that the big things happening in the world will be seen in the lake or in the deep valleys among the three Peaks. So the people think it a mysterious place which can reappear the past and foretell the future.
