When autumn falls, an adventure to the wild is a good way to cherish the amazing season. Named the "World Species Gene Bank", Gaoligong Mountains in southwest China's Yunnan Province is the best destination to discover the most fascinating flora and fauna in the country.
Gaoligong Mountains runs from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and all the way south to the border of Yunnan and northern Myanmar. The range stretches over 600 kilometers which presents you a complex terrain and different kinds of weather.
Standing 5,128 meters above the sea level, the snowy Gawagapu is the highest peak of Gaoligong. The lowest point is Daying River, a tropical river running through ravines 210 meters above sea level. Rare species such as hoolock gibbons, Yunnan snub-nosed monkeys and Phayre's leaf monkeys can be seen in the range.
