Gongga Snow Mountain under the moonlight

At Zimei Pass, 4,600 meters above sea level, I saw the most spectacular sunrise over Gongga Snow Mountain.Gongga Snow Mountain isunder the moonlight before the sun rises, with a hint of red light on the horizon. This is the most mysterious moment of Gongga Snow Mountain. Gongga Snow Mountain is located in the south of Kangding, 7,556 meters above sea level. It is the highest peak in Sichuan, known as the King of Shu Mountains, also known as Minya Gongga. Gongga means "white iceberg" or "highest snow mountain". Gongga is a haunting mountain
