Introduction At an elevation of 5,145 meters, Mount Echu means "Shining Mountain" in Tibetan. The Ramaling area of Mount Echu is the largest forested region in Daocheng. Although the mountain has gentle slopes, its vast forests and the ever-changing clouds and weather inspire awe. The scenery in October each year is particularly breathtaking for every visitor. When the first frost of October descends upon the ridges and valleys of Mount Echu, the sea of trees below the snowline dons a colorful autumn coat. At this time, Mount Echu resembles a bride on her wedding day—adorned with a sacred white hada on her head and dressed in vibrant autumn hues. From the summit of Mount Echu, you can gaze at the majestic peaks of Gongga Rishen Gongbu in spectacular fashion. Transportation Riwa Township is a junction where roads to Daocheng County, Yading, and Mount Echu all converge. A chartered car from the county to Riwa Township costs around 400 yuan.
