“Vast mountains and rivers, the hustle and bustle of human life<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The morning frost has gilded the skirts of the Four Sisters Mountain.
The 40-mile-long colorful forest in Shuangqiao Valley reflects the green lake, and the redwood forest presents a fiery torch of autumn leaves.
The century-old pear trees are laden with orange-yellow fruits, and the rooftop drying ground is spread out with a colorful oil painting of peppers and corn.
Driving through the Tagong Grassland, the Yala Snow Mountain is covered with a thin veil of the first snow, and the poplar forest along the stream in Gunong Village flows with broken gold.
The meadows of Balang Shengdu have lost their greenness. The wind stirs up waves, lifting the sharp silver crowns of the Gongga peaks.
Daocheng Yading has entered its most magical season – at the foot of Xianairi Mountain, the Pearl Sea embraces the autumn forest, snow-capped peaks and prayer flags together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

God crushed the Alps<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was privately hidden at the foot of the Four Sisters Mountain<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wandering through a 40-mile scroll, with snow-capped peaks as hairpins and lakes as mirrors,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The primeval forest breathes through the clouds and mist.

The Baiyangping meadow is covered with a yellow velvet carpet.
When the sun sets and tints the Youngest Sister Peak with gold, the bonfire ignites the Milky Way<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The iron limestone blade is quenched in the wind.
The ochre-red fault exposes the ribs of the planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sulfur spring was steaming incantations in the dark crevice.
Antelopes skimmed over the Xuanwu stone array, while eagles and falcons carried the flowing clouds and swooped down<\/p>\n\n\n\n
