中国四川省康定市新都桥镇的十里画廊 A Photographers’ Paradise in Xinduqiao, Sichuan, China

WS 159 - 中国四川省康定市新都桥镇的十里画廊 A Photographers’ Paradise in Xinduqiao, Sichuan, China

新都桥镇是四川省康定市内的一个小镇，在国道318川藏线上，人口约九千人。新都桥十里画廊并不是一个景区，而是以新都桥镇为中心向周边辐射数十里的周边景观。风光秀丽，草原溪流，金黄柏杨，山峦连绵起伏，两旁的藏式民居，星星点点的牛羊………被称作“摄影家的天堂”。 

我们2015年到此一游，两辆四轮驱动车自由行，有机会停就停， 看看拍拍。第二张照片是塔公草原，第四张照片藏式民居屋顶上晒的是金黄的玉米，第七张照片里的雪山是雅拉雪山，一座藏族神山。最后一张照片是挡路的牛，真牛！

Xinduqiao is a small town in the western part of Sichuan Province, China, located along National Highway 318 linking Sichuan and Tibet. The region is famous for its natural scenery and sold to the tourist as “Xinduqiao Shili Gallery” literally meaning “photo gallery over a 10 km radius”.  

So it is about the beautiful landscape surrounding the town of Xindoqiao: rolling hills, tranquil streams, green pastures, golden cypress trees, colourful Tibetan houses and temples, a few cattle and sheep here and there, etc. Supposedly a "photographers' paradise". 

We were here in the fall of 2015, in two four-wheel drive vehicles, cruising freely, and stopping at every opportunity for viewing and photo shoot. The 2nd photo was taken at Tagong Plasture, the 4th photo shows drying golden corns on the roof of Tibetan houses, and the snow mountain in the 7th photo is Mount Yala, a Tibetan sacred mountain. And lastly a herd of cattle also in a leisurely stroll.
