The scenic spot is divided into Daocheng and Aden, with snow-capped mountains, glaciers, canyons, forests, meadows, lakes and other landscapes. In addition to glacial lakes such as Pearl Sea and Milk Sea, the most desirable one is Daocheng, which is the famous Daocheng Shenfeng in Tibetan areas. It consists of three sacred mountains, namely, Xiannairi, Yangmaiyong and Shanuoduoji, all located in Aden Nature Reserve. Like the three saints, the three holy mountains have become pilgrimage sites in the hearts of Tibetans. People compare Xiannairi to Buddha, Yang Maiyong to a girl and Shanuoduoji to a teenager. There are also many places worth visiting around Daocheng County, including quiet rivers, beautiful red grasslands and ancient temples.
Daocheng-Aden is "the last pure land on the blue planet". In spring, the azaleas in Daocheng are everywhere, and in autumn, Daocheng is red and yellow, with a paradise-like color. As early as 1928, American explorer Joseph Charles Francis Rock discovered Daocheng-Aden, and published his photos in National Geographic magazine, which caused a great sensation. The scenic spot climbs from 2,900 meters above sea level (Gongga Estuary) to 6,032 meters above sea level (Xiannairi Peak), with three snow peaks, namely Xiannairi, Riverside Ocean and Shanaduji, as the core areas. Due to the special geographical environment and natural climate, it has formed a unique landform and natural landscape, which is the most complete natural ecosystem in China.
Milk, an ancient glacial lake, looks like a drop of water and is surrounded by snow-capped mountains. Milk Sea is located at the foot of Yangmaiyong Mountain, with an area of 0.5 hectares and an altitude of 4,500 meters. Surrounded by snow, the lake is clear and blue, and the mountains fall into waterfalls. It is famous for its exquisite, beautiful and elegant water color. There is a big glacier next to the milk. It is said that every spring, the lake will be as white as milk and as sweet as dew, hence the name Milk Sea. The lake is clear and blue, and the mountains stop at waterfalls. It is famous for its exquisiteness, beauty and elegance. The water on the shore is slightly dark, and below it are the sediments of distant plants, with light green areas inside and bright blue water in the depths. The sea water flows slightly, and the sun keeps passing through the clouds, so it changes its luster like a gem. Pieces of grass and broken leaves by the sea are like green flannel. The grass is covered with hard rock walls and beaches, which makes it very cold.
Mai Yong, which means "Manjusri Bodhisattva" in Tibetan, is the southern peak of the "Sanpo" Snow Mountain, with an altitude of 5,958 meters. Manjusri Bodhisattva is the embodiment of wisdom in Buddhism. The shape of Yangmai Yongshan is like a sword of wisdom in the hands of Manjusri Bodhisattva, pointing to the sky and standing proudly between heaven and earth. Under the peak of God, the mountains are surrounded by a wide canyon, with forests, meadows and streams on both sides, which is magnificent, just like a fairyland on earth.
Nairi is one of the top ten most beautiful and shocking mountains in China. Fairy day means "Guanyin Bodhisattva". It is said that if Tibetans can worship the holy mountain three times, their wishes will be realized in this life. Fairy Day is the northern peak of the "Three-legged Master" Snow Mountain, the first of the three sacred mountains in Aden Scenic Area, with an altitude of 6032 meters. The peak is covered with snow all year round, and the mountain shape resembles a reclining Buddha. In front of it is King Kong Haimu, the pyramid-like mountain on the left is White Tara, the mountain with numerous prayer flags on the right is Green Tara, and the frosted tinder next to Green Tara is many Dalbergia and wonderful fairies.
