Having long heard of Balagozhong's name, I have never had the opportunity to go to Meili Snow Mountain for a change, and by the way, to play in Balagozhong. Sure enough, we had a remarkable harvest in Balagozhong.

    The magnificent momentum of Balagozhong Scenic Area, before entering the Scenic Area, has a sense of shock. Being shocked by its momentum and at the same time attracting you like a magic spell, I want to invest in it as soon as possible and have a quick look at it.

    Before the development of Balagozhong, it was almost isolated from the world. What it saw was the primitive ecological landscape, which was called the last Shangri-La. The magnificence of the scenic spot is extraordinary. In the magnificence, there are mysterious colors. Snow mountains, canyons, plateau lakes, alpine pastures, natural pagodas, Millennium Bodhi trees, Bala villages and other scenery are all attractive, rich in vegetation, rugged rocks, have to lament the gods of nature ah!

   Before going, I was worried that the road was not easy to walk, but my worries were superfluous. I was very happy to drive smoothly on the newly repaired asphalt road.

    Before arriving at the scenic spot, I was deeply attracted by the scenery along the road. Looking from afar, there stands a "Shi Guanyin" on the cliff, which seems to be greeting guests coming from afar.

    The reception center of Balagozhong Waterhouse is the gate to enter the Balagozhong scenic spot and the only way to enter the scenic spot. Compared with the Hangu Pass of the Old Qin State, it is even worse. There are steep cliffs on both sides, and the reception center of Shuizhuang is deep at the bottom of the valley. It's very impressive to get off and see such scenery.

   Buddha Sakyamuni was known as the "God Tree" because he practiced Taoism under the Bodhi Tree. On the left side of Shui Zhuang Reception Center, there is a thousand-year-old Bodhi tree with vigorous vitality and branches all over the rock wall.                                          

   This Bodhi tree has a history of thousands of years. Its roots are like the palms of the hands. It is hard to insert into the cracks in the rocks. This is the famous Buddhist Buddha of the Bodhi tree.

    There is a sutra beside the Bodhi tree. When devout believers come here, they will worship Buddha and pray in the Sutra shrouded by the Bodhi tree.

There are Gorges in the gorge, there are Gorges in the gorge, the Gorges are connected, crisscrossing is a major feature of the Balagozhong scenic spot. The famous Shangri-La Grand Canyon is the Blue Moon Canyon recorded by American novelist James Hilton in The Lost Horizon.

I. Shangri-La Grand Canyon

    The Shangri-La Grand Canyon, with its cliffs on both sides, is incredibly steep and daunting. It has to marvel at the ingenious workmanship of nature. Rock walls and vegetation layered, forming a lifelike gallery, lifelike!

2. Tongtianxia

Tongtian Gorge is like a deep canyon cut by water flow. The mountains on both sides of the canyon are close, and the cliff cliffs are draped, up to kilometers. Because the canyon is too deep and narrow, the bottom of the canyon looks gloomy, like walking in the magic path of underground purgatory, looking up from the bottom of the canyon, with a line of blue sky on both sides of the cliff.

3. Palm Gorge

Wild mountain palms can only be found in tropical areas, but it is impossible to find them in the alpine vegetation area of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau north of the Jinsha River, which is very rare!

    Bala Village is a thousand-year-old isolated village with a long history. More than 1,300 years ago, the hero of Batang, Snadogi, won the wide awe of the neighboring chiefs. However, suffering from the fatigue and helplessness brought by the war, Snadogi finally decided to give up his wealth and lead his people to this isolated land of hope and build their homes. Likewise, there are moving Shangbala legends, full of strong Tibetan culture and local ethnic customs.

   It is because of his perseverance that the contemporary hero of Bala Village, Snading Pearl, was able to show the Balagozong Scenic Spot to the world.

    Like a pyramid, the highest peak in Shangri-La is the Balagozhong Snow Mountain, which is 5545 meters above sea level.

   Gezong Snow Mountain, also known as "Gezong Bensong" or "Gezong Bum Bensong", means the three sisters of Gezong, the daughter of the Kawagbo god, who want to marry the wife of Gongga Shenshan family as "Gongga Bensong" (the three princes of Gongga).

    In the Year of the Tibetan Sheep, when three beautiful princesses accompanied by their attendants came to Bara with countless treasures and musical instruments, it was dawn, and the shy three princesses remained in Bara, becoming the three main peaks of Mount Gezong Snow and the sacred mountains of the people.

    Natural Buddhist pagoda is the main landscape of Balagozhong Scenic Area. My ultimate goal is to visit the legendary "god pagoda". The effort is not enough. Finally, I came to the "natural Buddhist pagoda" as I wished. Although I have no faith, I am deeply moved to see the sacred pagoda standing on the horizon. Involuntarily worship the pagoda.

    But when the pasture is a summer pasture and summer resort for Bara villagers, it is not only sparsely populated, but also charming meadow, which is a paradise for outdoor tourism.

    Every June and July, there are all kinds of azaleas blooming, forming a sea of flowers!

   Around the sacred mountain of Balagozhong, there are eighteen plateau lakes of different sizes, which are clear, transparent and holy. Legend has it that they were transformed from cosmetic lenses that were accidentally broken by the goddess when she was dressing up on the plateau.
