Cuopugou scenic area, Garze, Sichuan

In autumn, Cuopugou scenic area unfolds across the valleys of Batang county. Snow-capped peaks line the horizon, forests and meadows form a patchwork across the landscape, and clear lakes dot the valleys, reflecting the blue sky and surrounding mountains.

This is a land of both breathtaking plateau scenery and ancient legend. For centuries, the epic of King Gesar has been passed down through song here, adding a touch of mystery to the lakes and mountains of the Western Sichuan Plateau.
