Lifestyles

If travelers who have been to western Sichuan know that some of the more well-developed snowy mountain scenic spots, such as the awe-inspiring Tao Cheng Yading and Bibanggou, are all accessible by sightseeing bus and various road signs, which can detract from the dramatic experience.

The drop between the mountain's base and its summit reaches an astonishing height of 6,556 meters, the greatest elevation change of any mountain range on Earth. The visual impact and unique location led Joseph Rock to mistakenly proclaim it as the highest peak on Earth in his work "Lonely Journey in the Clouds."
