## About Erlang Mountain

Located in Tianquan County, Ya'an City, at an altitude of 3,437 m. Standing at the summit, you can see more than 40 peaks over 6,000 m in the Mount Gongga range, large and small, spread out before you. On the route from Erlang Mountain to Luding, high mountain gorges unfold, and villages, big and small, perch on flat patches halfway up the slopes. The scene is both magical and spectacular.
