Lianbao Yeze Stone Mountains

莲宝叶则

A cluster of granite peaks in Aba County, Sichuan, south of Nianbaoyuze. Sharp peaks and alpine lakes reflect each other, and the area is known as the Stone Mountains.

Lianbao Yeze lies in northern Aba County, Sichuan. It shares the same granite massif as Nianbaoyuze, though the two sit in different provinces, Qinghai and Sichuan. Its Tibetan name means sacred mountain on a lotus throne. The scenic area is known for its diverse granite peaks, glacial lakes such as Cuonamaa, and alpine meadows. It has sightseeing buses and boardwalks and is more developed than Nianbaoyuze. Tickets and shuttle fares vary on site, and a visit takes four to five hours. From Jiuzhi County Town, it's about two hours' drive south via Aba, making it a good addition to a Qinghai and Sichuan loop with Nianbaoyuze.
