Four Girls town is located in Sichuan province, China. There is a famous scenery spot - Four Girls Mountains. The four Girls Mountains are as beautiful as their name. The below picture was taken on the road from Four Girls Town to Danba and not far away from Four Girls town. This place is over 3,000 meters above sea level. So here is between at the end of autumn and at the beginning of winter. There was a heavy snow the night before. The yellow leaves on the trees haven't fallen completely yet. It looks like a painting when the high mountains were covered with a layer of snow.
