Chaoshanping Viewpoint
朝山坪
A raised platform beside Siguniangshan Town, surrounded by prayer flags and mani stone piles, facing Yaomei Peak. It's a free spot to see the golden mountain at sunrise.
Chaoshanping, also known as Guozhuang Ping, sits on a hillside north of Siguniangshan Town, about 15 minutes on foot or by car from the town. The flat area has a white stupa, prayer wheels, and rows of prayer flags. The open view faces all four Siguniang snow peaks. On clear mornings, sunlight turns Yaomei Peak gold, the “golden mountain” phenomenon, and the evenings bring sunset glows. Admission is free, and it's the most convenient viewpoint for visitors staying in town. Temperatures are very low in the morning, so bring a thick jacket. At about 3,300 meters above sea level, walk slowly uphill.
