Niubeishan Mountain
Niubeishan Mountain belong to Erlang shan Mountain branch, located in the junction of Luding County and Yingjing County, and its top reached at 3666 meters above sea level. Because the top of the cliff has a boulder protruding like a cow's head, the slender ridge looks like a cow's back, so got its name. Niubei means the back of bull in Chinese.

Niubei shan Mountain now is very famous among outdoor sports, hiking, mountaineering and photography enthusiasts at home and abroad. It is also a place for astronomy enthusiasts to pursue the stars.
 
Niubeishan Mountain has this description: ."On the rolling sea of clouds, the peaks appear like a dream. You look up, from east to north, and then to the west, you will find Nibashan Mountain, Wawu shan Mountain, Emei shan Mountain, Jiashan Mountain, Siguniang shan Mountain and Erlang Mountain are all in front of you, and Gongga shan Snow Mountain in the side, and Dadu River Grand Canyon in the back. Almost all the famous mountains and steep mountains of the land of abundance in Sichuan became exquisite bonsai at this time. Under the rolling clouds, the mountains and hills fall step by step, slowly blending into the rolling rice Tianfu plain.”
