🔥Since November 1st, 2023, Sapushen Mountain Scenic Area has been closed. Now, after half a year, it’s finally reopened!✨️ But I suggest staying away ❌️ because it’s too breathtaking 🥰, potentially overshadowing other sights. Tip: Currently, only SUVs or off-road vehicles can reach the outer lake, Samuco, for sightseeing. Inner lake areas are off-limits to vehicles.
🌿Sapushen Mountain combines snow-capped peaks🏔, holy lakes, glaciers, and stunning sunrises. In summer, it offers vast grasslands, flower fields, and tranquil yaks🐮.
🚗Transport Tip: Due to rough roads, SUVs or off-road vehicles are recommended. Sedans might manage with skilled drivers but aren’t my top suggestion.
