Cuopugou - A place where the beauty of nature culminates

When the weather is good, Cuopugou is definitely worth a visit, and it's best to drive into the scenic area for more freedom. Cuopugou encompasses diverse landscapes such as snow-capped mountains, glaciers, grasslands, forests, lakes, temples, and hot springs. With some luck, you can see national protected animals like the Tibetan Eared Pheasant at Cuopu Lake and Cuopu Temple. If you're even luckier, you might spot a Bharal. The only downside is that the restrooms in the scenic area are not very good, especially at Cuopu Temple, where the lack of modern toilets is quite surprising. The hot springs are genuine, and you can smell the strong sulfur odor even when driving by. I avoided bathing in the hot springs due to fear of altitude sickness and catching a cold. The last stretch of road to Cuopu Temple is narrow and difficult for vehicles to pass, so those with poor driving skills should be cautious. Moreover, at an altitude of 4200 meters, Cuopu Temple can be a challenge for those prone to altitude sickness.
