Journey Overview

Departing from Chengdu and ascending into the folds of the western highlands, we arrive at Niubei Mountain where oceans of clouds drift beneath blazing sunsets and night skies shimmer with untold constellations. At dawn, snow peaks emerge like islands in a silver sea before we continue across Zheduo Pass and along Road 434 toward the sweeping ridgelines of Gedilam and Barlangshengdu, where wind and light move freely across the plateau.
