Yalong River Viewpoint
雅砻江观景台
A viewpoint beside the Yalong River Bridge on the south side of the county seat, where the river flows through a wide valley. Looking back, you can see the golden roof of Garze Monastery and the town.
The Yalong River flows from north to south along the south side of Garze county seat, forming a broad valley here, with barley fields and Tibetan-style houses on both banks. Near the Yalong River Bridge on the south side of town is a viewing platform. From it you can see the river, grassy shoals and the distant Zhuodala snow mountain. Turn around, and you can see Garze Monastery on the mountainside. Early mornings often bring light mist, and the evening sunset light is best. It is a common vantage point for photographing the full view of Garze county town. Admission is free. You can walk or cycle there from the county seat; plan to spend about 30 minutes.
