On May 1st, Mr. Li, a young man from Chongqing, successfully proposed to his beloved Miss Gou at the Kangding Love Song Mugecuo Scenic Area.
Under the snow capped mountains, the azaleas float with a delicate fragrance, and under the witness of tourists from all over the world, a couple finally get married.
It is reported that the young couple has known about Kangding's love song Mugecuo for a long time, and took advantage of the May Day holiday to travel to Mugecuo and planned this marriage proposal event.
As a tourist destination in western Sichuan, Mugecuo is home to many beautiful love stories, including the love story between Zaxi and Zhuoma.
Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a young man and woman named Zaxi and Zhuoma on the Tagong Grassland.
Zaxi is handsome and brave, able to ride and shoot well. Zhuoma is like a flower and jade, gentle and kind. They were childhood sweethearts, deeply in love with each other. But the local tribal leaders harbored ill intentions towards Zhuoma, and Zhuoma and Zaxi had no choice but to flee far away.
So they traveled through mountains and rivers to a place with few human footprints. Every day, Zaxi goes hunting while Zhuoma sews clothes from animal skins at home. Later, the place where they lived was discovered by hunters hunting in the mountains, who mistook them for savages. Later, it spread and the sea they lived in was called the "Savage Sea" (Tibetan for "Mugecuo").
Thus, Mugecuo became a holy land of love. Many tourists go there, not only to enjoy the beautiful scenery, but also to pray that the gods can give them a beautiful and pure love.
The Heart shaped Sea, known as the "Heart of the Sky," is located within the Kangding Love Song (Mugecuo) Scenic Area.
It has witnessed countless loves, sunrise and sunset, moon gazing at the new moon.
Heart shaped Sea, located in the glacial remains at an altitude of 4295 meters, is a typical glacial moraine lake.
A glacial moraine (q ì) lake is a lake formed by the accumulation of gravel carried by glaciers when they melt and retreat at the end, resulting in depressions that are high in the surrounding areas and low in the middle, or by blocking some riverbeds and accumulating water.
Heart shaped sea is a pure natural heart-shaped shape, covering an area of about 450 square meters. The narrowest part of the heart is 180 meters, and the longest part is 260 meters.
Heart shaped Sea was accidentally encountered by local Tibetans while digging for cordyceps, so few people set foot on it and it has always maintained its original ecological appearance.
On May 20, 2020, the certification officer of the World Records Association awarded the "World's Highest Natural Heart shaped Lake" certificate to the "Heart shaped Sea" scenic area of Kangding Love Song (Mugecuo).
Here is the 'heart' closest to the sky.
When it snows heavily, the surroundings suddenly hide under the snow-white sky, a vast expanse, only it remains blue and peaceful. Against the backdrop of the surrounding snow capped mountains and ice capped peaks, it resembles a crystal clear "sapphire" that intertwines with the sky and shines brilliantly.
It makes those who approach feel particularly peaceful and serene, and is worth sharing with loved ones and friends who are looking forward to love.
*At present, Heart shaped Lake is not open to the public. Please continue to pay attention to the information of Mugecuo Scenic Area, and we will inform you of the latest information as soon as possible.
Early summer has arrived, and fresh emotions awaken from hibernation, fermenting with the passage of time, becoming rich in sweetness and lingering in memories.
On the upcoming May 20th, solemnly present.
