Situated in Kangding County, Garze Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, the Jiagenba and Mount Gongga Scenic Area is characterized by the breathtaking landscapes of plateau-based wide valleys, subalpine meadows, super-high mountains, sinter beach (pool), and Mi-nyag-style architectures. It is a perfect resort for visitors to enjoy the sight of the main peak and peaks of Mount Gongga (the "King of Mountains in Sichuan").

The scenic area includes four scenic spots, namely Yalong Ravine Sinter Beach, Yahayakou Lookout for Mount Gongga, Yulongxi Prairie, and Yulongxi Sinter Pool. It is characterized by the idyllic scenery of plateau and Mi-nyag culture.

The harmonious "Shangri-La" resort is composed of the towering old trees, the picturesque idyllic scenery, the perfect photographic effect, the seamless integration of culture and nature. It is the perfect place for visitors to get close to the snow mountains and worship Mount Gongga. With an elevation of 7,556 meters, Mount Gongga ("Mi-nyag Konka" in Tibetan) is the main peak of Hengduan Mountains. It is the holy mountain in Tibetans' eyes.
