Mana Chajin Viewing Platform
The sea of clouds near the Mana Chajin Viewing Platform exists all year round, making it an excellent place to watch clouds and mountains. Mana Chajin is at an altitude of 4300 meters, and it is only 15 kilometers in a straight line from the Yading Three Holy Mountains (also known as the 'Three Gods Mountains'). During sunrise and sunset, one can often see the beautiful scenery of 'Golden Mountain' and sometimes even the rare phenomenon of 'Sun and Moon Shining Together'. Every May and June is the blooming season for rhododendrons in Mana Chajin, which is also the best time to visit Mana Chajin to enjoy the 'sea' of clouds.

Shambhala Seven Lakes
Shambhala Seven Lakes is the most typical representative of this glacial lake wonder. In Tibetan Buddhism, these seven lakes are considered to be the 'Seven Pure Waters' offered to the Buddha and are renowned as 'Heavenly Lakes'. The Seven Lakes consist of seven glacial cirque lakes and glacial barrier lakes arranged in a string-like pattern, including Ruicuo. These seven alpine glacial lakes vary in shape, and the basins are connected by waterfalls or meandering rivers, creating a very beautiful and spectacular scene. This is also an excellent spot to view the three sacred mountains of Daocheng Yading from a distance. Looking southeast from the west bank of the Seven Lakes, the 'Three Guardian Snow Mountains' of Daocheng Yading perfectly complement the Shambhala Seven Lakes, forming a perfect realm of 'Sacred Mountains' and 'Holy Waters'.
