Photospot

I think I'm running out of names for some of these places.. but this definitely deserves a spot on your plans.

About the spot

Driving past, you would be forgiven for completely missing this little rocky outcrop that sits a couple of hundred meters above the road but don't - this is worth a short stop.

Climb up the rocks for a unique angle of you & the mountain that'll look a lot more 'wild' than the spot really seems like.

How to get here

Ok, direction time because the pin may not be 'exact'.

As you're driving out of Deqen northwards, as you hit this corner you'll see a off-road parking area on the left (if you reach the corner with the big parking area you've gone 100m too far). Park there, cross the road and walk back a little until there's a small dirt track leading up the hill. You'll notice it thanks to this water tank thing on the hill.

From there, just keep walking and you'll find some rocks with a ladder on it - the ideal angle for the photo most have in mind.
