Look at the Mount. Xiannairi, shining under the sun with drop of blue skies. Standing 6,032 meters above sea level, it is one of the three holy mountains in Yading. It looks like a fairy land. Taken from Luorong Cattle Field.
Lying wood in the Lake Pearl. Check the color of the water - it is like a jade. Yading is featured by its snow mountains and mysterious Tibetan culture, but the waters are also among the best I have ever seen.

It is the first time I steps out of the bus to breath the fresh air of Mt. Balang. It is about 4,600 meters high above sea level. I felt headache there - the effect of altitude sickness. In the high land, I have to walk very slowly.
