A few years ago, Balagzon was an isolated paradise, where the mystery and beauty were just a beautiful legend to the outside world. Now it is known as an "international ace scenic spot" and enjoys the reputation of "Shangri-La's Little Jiangnan". The vertical three-dimensional climate from 2,000 to 5,545 meters above sea level creates an unparalleled beauty.

The

hairpin bend road, which is 35 kilometers up the mountain from Shuizhuang and rises 750 meters above sea level, was built by a villager named "Snading Zhong" in Bala Village, which took ten years to build.

The

scenic sightseeing bus also directly reaches the farthest attractions that have been opened: Bala Dro Marakang, down the mountain to Bala Village and Shangri-La Grand Canyon.

Baratable Maracón:
