The main peak of Genie is 6224 meters above sea level, the mountain of Xiaozha is 587 meters above sea level, and the mountain of Kemailong is 578 meters above sea level.

2,9 years ago, Buddha Sakyamuni praised Mount Genie as a sacred place for pure meditation. Exquisite words are pale and powerless in front of this tourist attraction in Sichuan.

A line: from Chengdu along Chengya Expressway to Yajiang, turn to Sichuan-Tibet Highway, and arrive at Cuola Town via Kangding, xinduqiao and Litang.

line b: from Kunming to Xichang (this section is half a second-class highway and half a high-speed highway). Then from Xichang to Jiulong (this is a second-class highway, in which more than 1 kilometers of cars have to go slowly because of poor disrepair), from Jiulong to xinduqiao, and then transfer to Sichuan-Tibet Highway Manager Pond to Tsola Town. (I'm from Chengdu, so it's unnecessary to take this route.)

This route passes through Xichang, Yalong River, Jiulong, Gongga Mountain and other scenic spots, which is very recommended, but if it's a car, it's difficult to pass the road near Yalong River.

Get down to business:

The natural ecological protection of Copugou starts from Maoyaba in the east and borders Litang, and ends at Yasu Mountain at an altitude of 4,86m in the west, and ends at Zhajinjiabo Shenshan in the south, which is adjacent to Baiyu, with Fiona Fang being 9 square kilometers.
