Live Your Best Lives
Yajiageng is located between Kangding Laoyulin and Hailuogou Moshi Town. The red stone beach at the two river mouths of Yajiageng is one of the largest red stone beaches in the world and the best place to view the red stone beach around Hailuogou (there is also a red stone beach in Yanzigou).
On the way from Moshi Town to Kangding, red stones are everywhere. The largest red stone beach is on the roadside halfway up the mountain. You can see it without tickets. The red stones here are large in area and bright red in color. They stretch along the valley and are magnificent. Every stone on the glacier riverbank is covered with red coats. Red stones are piled up on both sides of the river. Groups of red stones turn into a flowing red color, accompanying the clear water and flowing downstream. If you go during October-November, the mountains along the way are covered with red leaves, which is very beautiful.
The best place to take photos here is the red stone forest where Sun Li and Deng Chao stood in "Painted Wall". Standing in it, you can feel the magic of nature. The best time to watch is at noon, when visibility is relatively high. You can also watch the sunset at the Red Stone Beach Observation Deck, with rows of snow-capped mountains above, a colorful forest in the middle, and a large expanse of red stone beach below, which is very spectacular.

Yajiageng is located within the Hailuogou Scenic Area of Gongga Mountain, and is another dazzling pearl at the foot of Gongga Mountain. The red stone beach in the Lianghekou area of Yajiageng is one of the largest red stone beaches in the world. The rust-red substance growing on the stones is a very rare algae (a complex of lichens). Under suitable humidity, temperature and climate conditions, this plant will grow naturally on the surface of the rock, die after about four or five years, and then regenerate. The red stone of Yajiageng is one of the rarest species given by nature to the Gongga Mountain area.
It was very ordinary, just a red stone beach next to a river, and many of the stones were faded. We just passed by, took two photos and left. There was nothing special to see, so there was no need to go there specially.
To be honest, I think if you go there in winter, people like us in the southwest have rarely seen snow, so you can go to Hailuogou to soak in hot springs and play snowball fights.
Maybe it’s because of the weather, the Red Stone Beach doesn’t seem as beautiful as it has been before.
Red stones, blue-green streams, white snow-capped mountains, a heart higher than the sky
There are many such red stones near the glacier.
The master said that when the weather is good and visibility is high, the entire river valley is covered with red stones, stretching across a vast expanse of vermilion.
When I entered Tibet, the Tianquan section was under construction, so I took the Shimian to Hailuogou Hongshitan to Kangding. When I arrived at Hongshitan, I was deeply attracted by the beautiful scenery here, which was really beautiful.
Red Stone Park, there are a lot of red stones here. You can walk to the riverbed. It is free to enter now, but I heard that the trail will be repaired in the future and tickets will be required. You can take panoramic photos from a high place. It is best to use a SLR.
It is also a very rare red stone beach viewing spot in China. The Red Stone Beach is about 100 meters in radius and is named after the red stones. The stones here, regardless of size, are bright rust red. In the sun, these red stones are very dazzling in the streams, on the hillsides, and in the bushes. Local officials said that once they are washed by rain, the red stones will turn bright red like blood.
Red stone beach is actually a kind of red moss attached to the stone, which only exists under special altitude and geological conditions. There are a lot of red stones in Camp No. 3 and Camp No. 4 of Hailuogou Scenic Area. If you carry these stones back home, the red color will disappear and they will become ordinary stones.
Red Stone Beach is a geographical wonder. Every stone has red fur growing on its surface, as if the stone is wearing a festive red dress. It is breathtaking. The red stone is naturally formed, huge in scale, magnificent and spectacular. It is truly amazing and shocking. It is a wonder of the world!
If there is a kind of scenery that makes people unforgettable, I would definitely choose the Red Rock Beach. Although it is a glimpse, it is unforgettable. It is not the white of the snow-capped mountains, nor the green of the forest, but the red of the rocks. The dazzling red spreads unscrupulously between the snow-capped mountains and the forests, covering the river valleys and even climbing up the hillsides where the ice and snow have not yet faded.
It is very shocking to see a large area of red stones from afar, but it is very easy to get foggy when going up the mountain, and the road conditions are extremely poor, with all kinds of rocks and landslides.
Nowadays, the stones are not as red as before, and the Red Stone Beach has been fenced off, and tourists are no longer allowed to enter. It's a bit regrettable.
Passing by the Red Stone Beach, I took a look from afar. The red stones on this beach were quite shocking. I followed a stream directly into the mountain. The Yajia Terrier on the next mountain was worth camping.
When we saw the strange and beautiful red rock scenery, we didn’t care about getting wet, we were completely one with the scenery and felt so happy!
The driver of our chartered car said that it would be even more red if it rained. There was no tourist on it.
A good place worth visiting, where you can see large areas of red stones.
I was really just passing by there. The sun was shining brightly at the foot of the mountain, but the fog rose very quickly on the mountain.
Finally I saw it. I was so surprised and curious. There was actually red moss. This kind of moss needs a special environment to grow. Scientists once wanted to take it down the mountain for research, but it turned black as soon as it left the environment. Nature has a magical side that humans cannot cure. A large stretch of red stone beach and the high snow-capped mountains in the distance formed a very magnificent picture.
The Red Stone Beach in Yanzigou is very famous. As soon as we got off the car, we were eager to take photos with the red stones on the riverbed. However, we found out that it was not allowed to get close to the Red Stone Beach. Looking at the long guardrail, we had to watch from a distance and took a photo as a souvenir.
In addition to the Red Stone Beach, you can also see snow-capped mountains here, but because of the heavy fog we had to return home disappointed.
When I first saw it, I was a little shocked. It was so beautiful. It's worth seeing! (It was raining)
I heard that Yajiageng is a place where you have a high chance of seeing the sea of clouds. If you are interested in the sea of clouds, I highly recommend you to come here.
The autumn colors of Yajiageng are in full bloom in the rain and fog, and the red stone beach is bright and colorful. You can park your car in a spacious place beside the road and go into the woods to take pictures of the river and the trees. The road conditions are basically good.
Yajiageng is located between Kangding and Moshi Town, Hailuogou, with an altitude of 3830.
Yajiageng is located near Moshi, and from the middle of the mountain to the foot of the mountain, the riverside area is full of red stones.
Red Stone Beach is an auspicious place. The red stones in Red Stone Beach are mysterious red stones, known as living divine stones.
In fact, the red substance on the stone is a kind of living primitive algae, it is indeed alive.
A large number of red stone beaches present a strong color contrast with the snow-capped mountains, which is very beautiful. The red substance is actually a moss plant. Going up to the observation deck, you can see a large area of red stone beaches. Regardless of size, the red stone beach stones are bright rust red. Unfortunately, the weather is not good, and the charm of the red stones against the snow-capped mountains cannot be seen. However, even in the rain, the red stones are very dazzling in the streams, on the hillsides, and in the bushes. There are many Tibetans selling snacks and mountain products on the red stone beach. The food is simple, just like the simple and simple life of Tibetan compatriots.
The unique Yajiageng Red Stone Park, the red material on the stone is a kind of living primitive algae. The red stone hidden in the white snow is even more gorgeous and eye-catching.
The scenery of the Snow Mountain and the Red Stone Beach is quite nice, and there are many red stones here.
The stone is not as red as before. It looks good from a distance, but it is much worse when you look at it up close.
The beauty of Red Stone Beach was beyond our expectations. We didn't want to go back from Kangding to Chengdu, so we chose the mountain road from Kangding to Hailuogou to Shimian. As a result, when we crossed Yajiageng and went down the mountain, we saw a stunning scene on the side of the road. There were constant shouts of surprise and excitement in the convoy, and everyone quickly stopped at the roadside viewing platform to enjoy this unexpected surprise.
The red stone beach of Yajiageng looks like red river water. In July, the azaleas on both sides of the mountain bloomed, which was particularly beautiful.
After many hardships, we finally arrived. The scenery along the way is unmatched.
The road is very difficult to walk on now, but the road from Hailuogou to Hongshitan is being repaired. It will be much better by then. There are red stones distributed from Hailuogou to Kangding, but the most densely distributed red stones are in the Hongshitan Scenic Area. It is very beautiful when viewed from a distance along the river beach. I feel that it is better to view it from a distance than from a close distance, so I did not enter the scenic area.
It's not easy to get there, it's really amazing, I'll ride there next time
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, the world of red. In autumn, the forests are all dyed red, and in summer, the red stones are bright red.
Walking out of the forest path, you can see a large red stone beach.
The Red Stone Beach is also the most famous attraction in Yanzigou. The Red Stone Beach is about 100 meters in radius and is named after the red stones. The stones here are bright rust red regardless of their size. In the sun, these red stones are very dazzling in the streams, on the hillsides, and in the bushes.
It is a very worthwhile place to visit. Although the service facilities are average, I still think it should be like this. If it develops too commercially, it will lose what we originally need. As long as the local people can serve sincerely, there are still many good ways to get rich without destroying it.
The rocks of the Red Stone Beach look even redder in the ice and snow! Although the white fog obscures the surrounding mountains, it adds a different kind of beauty. On the way, Master's yaks and ice waterfalls are like a secret place to find!
Going to Red Stone Beach depends on luck. If it rains, the effect will be greatly reduced. The effect of the red stone is still amazing.
The pass is located at a high position, and if you are lucky you can see the sea of clouds, snow-capped mountains, rainbows and Buddha's light.
It is worth recommending this ticket. It is worth the price of 60 yuan and the Qinghai scenic area is really great.
The road is extremely bad, but the scenery is very beautiful. This kind of scenery is rare in China and even in the world.
There is no need to go, you can see it on the road, there is no need to go to the park to see it, and there is a fee
Due to the closed management, tourists can only walk a small section, 60/person, 40 for students.
The red stones there are very special, but they become ordinary once you leave the valley. Biologists say they are fungi, botanists say they are algae, and geologists say they are caused by the soil being rich in minerals. You can go and see for yourself to find out the details. One visit is enough.
It is a very natural landform! Very special! There are snow-capped mountains and red rocks!
The scenery is quite beautiful, but the tickets are a bit expensive, and even if you buy tickets, you can't see it from the best perspective because the plank road is limited.
Red Stone Beach was foggy when we got there, so we had to leave after waiting for a long time.
The beautiful and spectacular Red Stone Beach is worth visiting for those who like photography. You can take pictures of the silky water and the bright red stone beach! The scenery is nice but the ticket price is a bit expensive!
I really like Yajia Terrier. Every time I go there, I see many people stop to take pictures.
I can only say it is shocking. It is worth going. The red stones can only be formed in a unique geographical environment (the surface is a special moss). It seems to have flowed down from the snowy mountains. The picture is still a lot less colorful than what you see with your eyes.
From the photos I posted, you can feel its ethereal beauty. The sky is super blue, clean, and the altitude is very high. The driver took us there for free. Because it was a chartered car, this attraction is free.
The Yajia Beach I'm talking about is at 3880, not Red Stone Beach. It's very beautiful and very close to the sky.
After coming down from Hailuogou, we had lunch in Moshi Town and then set off. On the way, we passed a fork in the road. The road condition on the left was very good. It passed the Red Stone Beach and Yajia Qinghai Scenic Area. If you go this way, you have to pay an entrance fee. The dirt road on the right is uphill. We went on the right side and could just see the Red Stone Beach on the way. I think such scenery is more beautiful when viewed from a high place, with a panoramic view!
I passed by on the way to Xinduqiao. The red stone beach was very bright in color. When I looked closer, it was red-orange.
The glacier water from the snowy area flows quietly through the red river valley, just like the joy of your soul and mine, so natural and smooth.
The weather was not very good when we went there, but the red rocks flowing down the mountain were still quite spectacular. On the winding mountain road to Kangding, you only need to pay an entrance fee to pass through. We did not go to Yajia Qinghai on the way, but I believe it is a very beautiful place. I will go there next time!
Red Rock Park is very spectacular in winter against the backdrop of white snow and blue sky. It is better at noon, with plenty of light and less fog. It is very beautiful!
The sky is very blue, the air is very good, and the red stone beach is even brighter against the white snow. The snow-capped mountains and cedars are very beautiful.
A very beautiful and primitive place. The red color of the stone is due to the growth of an orange-red fungus, which is only found in a specific geographical environment. At this time, the mountains and forests are covered with snow. In the distance, there are layers of dense white forests, and in the near distance, there are layers of blood-red stone beaches. No wonder "Painted Wall" was filmed here. We found a local to take us up the mountain. The chartered car + ticket cost 135 yuan per person. The people in the mountains are very simple and enthusiastic.
It's pretty average. If you haven't been there, you can go and have a look. I suggest not going there in winter.
The scenery is not amazing, just walking along the plank road feels quite monotonous. However, the photo effect of red rocks and white snow is really good, and photography enthusiasts should like it.
The sun shines on the Golden Mountain, and the more you look at it, the more intoxicated you become...
The magical moss can grow into red, the ecology is well preserved, what does it look like on a sunny day?
It feels just so-so, the stones are not red enough, but maybe it’s because we didn’t go there at the most beautiful time.
If you want to drive in western Sichuan, you must not miss the Red Stone Park. The red stones scattered in the mountains, especially where the streams flow, are red because of the moss rich in carotene growing on their surface. Once they are washed by rain, they will turn bright red like blood. It is said that this kind of moss only grows in places with good air quality. Walking up a distance along the Red Stone Park, you will see a stream full of red stones, spreading down from the valley. This is the best place to take pictures in the Red Stone Park. People passing by will not be able to help but stop here.
The scenery is spectacular and stunning. The red and white contrast is even more beautiful after the snow in winter.
Tickets are only charged during the day. We entered by mistake at midnight, so we didn't have to pay. We also camped at the place where Cangyang Gyatso wrote poems, which was also beautiful! Red stone is a creature on stone. It will die if it leaves the special environment of the place, so don't dream of moving one home~~ The scenic spot is single. You can go there when you pass by, but it's not cost-effective to go there specifically.
When we went to Red Stone Beach, the driver drove us here. It was a beautiful place. I definitely recommend it.
Maybe it's because of the light, I don't think it's very impressive. If you have enough time, you can go up the slope to the source of Red Stone Creek to explore it.
A very special and rare landform, it is especially beautiful to take pictures in autumn and winter!
Standing at Yajiageng, you can enjoy a broad view of blue sky, white clouds, snow-capped mountains, and a cheerful mood.
The Red Stone Beach is better and more beautiful than the Red Stone Beach on Mount Gongga in Hailuogou. Along a clear stream, the banks are densely covered with large and small red stones. It looks very beautiful and spectacular, and it is worth seeing. There was no ticket before, but now the ticket is 50 yuan. You can enter by car. There are viewing platforms and parking lots inside. This road is a county road to Hailuogou and Kangding, and the road condition is OK.
This road to heaven is now paved with railings, and there is no longer a sense of unobstructed view.
There is a unique red stone in Hailuogou, distributed in the valley area between the two rivers of Yajiagang. It is not only mysterious, but also a unique wonder in the world. Locals call it Red Stone Beach. A rust-red substance grows on the stone. It is actually a very rare algae (a complex of lichens). The humid climate and rich minerals of Hailuogou provide a living environment for this algae, allowing it to grow naturally on the surface of the rock. Different seasons and weather present different shades of color. It will die after about four or five years and then regenerate.
There is a red stone beach at the highest point of Camp 4 at an altitude of 3,650 meters, and there is also a large piece of red stone beach near the Chengmendong Glacier. It is said that the growth of red stone has some strange characteristics: for example, it does not grow in places where sunlight cannot reach, in forests far away from the main river, and below 2,100 meters above sea level. Moreover, the red stone brought out of Hailuogou will die and turn black.
