Sichuan West | If there is a road that must be taken in this life, 318 must be among them

This is the route I took for the National Day holiday, avoiding the statutory holiday, and set off 2 days in advance to tour the Sichuan West Ring Line. Departing from Chengdu, passing through Yuzixi, Daocheng Yading, Seda, Siguniang Mountain, Moshishi Park and other classic scenic spots in Sichuan West. Accommodation 🏠 The accommodation along the way is relatively convenient, the accommodation conditions are general, there are not many people coming and going, and most places have a town center where you can stay nearby. Eating 🍚 There are relatively more Tibetan meals and Sichuan cuisine along the way, and the local special meals and soup pots taste pretty good. Confirm the price before placing an order~ 🙏Seda, a place where there is no lack of faith in hypoxia 🏔️Daocheng, if there is a place that must go with the person you like, it must be Daocheng Yading 🌋Yuzixi, snow-capped mountains, sunset clouds, and midnight star sea are all worth your rush 🌍Moshishi Park, the exotic planet of Sichuan West, as if stepping into another time and space ⛰️Siguniang Mountain, besides Xinjiang, I saw snow-capped mountains, forests, grasslands and streams here Precautions 📕 ⚠️For the first time on the plateau, don't drink and eat, don't drink alcohol, don't exercise vigorously, and rest more. ⚠️You can drink more hot water or prepare glucose water to drink, try not to drink cold raw water. ⚠️Don't wash your hair and take a bath in the first two days to prevent colds, colds, and fever from causing high anti. ⚠️You can bring more fruits, snacks, glucose, and chocolate in the car. ⚠️Try not to rely too much on oxygen, panting and rapid heartbeat are normal, just rest and walk. ⚠️If your body is extremely uncomfortable, contact the local rescue station/hospital in time, don't take medicine by yourself. Probably under the condition of hypoxia, the human brain will forget many troubles when it comes, and there is only happiness.

Rainbow at 4500m ancient ice plateau relic

Haizi Mountain (Haizi Shan 甘孜稻城海子山) total area of 3287 sqkm and an average elevation of 4500m. It is the largest ancient ice plateau relic on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, in Daocheng County, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture (Garze 甘孜藏族自治州) in western Sichuan Province. Hundreds of large and small seas are scattered around together with rocks. It is on the way between Daocheng Yading Nature Reserve and Litang. I did stop to visit it during my 1800km road trip of West Sichuan, start in Chengdu all the way to Yading Nature Reserve, with several stops of 1 or 2 days to visit main spots such as Mugecuo, Tagong, Xinduqiao, Litang, Daocheng, Yading Village, Moxi Old Town, Hailougou Glacier.#gooutside #passionpassport

600 years old hidden Rewu Monastery

called Rewu Temple (rewu si 热乌寺位于稻城县色拉乡境内) is in Sela Village, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture (Garze 甘孜藏族自治州 - west Sichuan Province, is an important Tibetan area in China on the southeast edge of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau). Built in the Ming Dynasty (600 years old), it is one of the oldest Sakya sect temple (Sakya is one of the important sects of Tibetan Buddhism). The complex has a front edge of a row of white towers, that is the first thing that appear approaching the monastery. Has just been renovated, is allowed to go up to the monastery complex by car but due to covid 19 cannot visit inside the buildings. On the way to Daocheng can get a glance of the temple from the road and is magnificent! Definitely not a tourist spot, it is preciously hidden in the mountains.

Tibetans believe that every turn of the drum is a blessing so local Tibetans, every morning, mid-day and evening walk around the pagoda. it is located at the edge of Daocheng County, I did stop by during my road trip back from Yading Nature Reserve. From Yading Village need to go to Shangari-la Town (香格里拉镇), than to Daocheng, and continuing to Sela Village. I did spend 30min to visit the pagoda. Free entrance. Daocheng is also a good place to spend the night traveling to Yading if you want to stay in a county with certain accommodations before to arrive at the Nature Reserve

Yading Luorong Cattle Farm

Luorong Cattle Farm, located within the territory of Daocheng County in the Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Sichuan Province, is a high-altitude pasture that reaches an elevation of 4150 meters. This place serves as a grazing area for the nearby villagers' livestock, where herds of cattle and sheep enjoy the gifts of nature—abundant sunshine, lush grasslands, and the pure waters of lakes. The Luorong Cattle Farm is tightly surrounded by the magnificent 'Three Sacred Mountains of Riwoche', and the Gongga River runs through the grassland, adding endless vitality to this land. The murmuring streams among the woods reflect the pastoral wooden houses, creating a primitive and enchanting scenery. It seems like a paradise on earth, allowing people to forget the worries of the mundane world and enter a state of returning to simplicity and truth. Every May, Luorong Cattle Farm welcomes the beautiful season when the grass is green and the orioles are singing. The wind blows the grass low, revealing the leisurely wandering yaks, adding a touch of vitality to the land. Backed by the three sacred mountains—Xian Nai Ri, Yang Mai Yong, and Xia Nuo Duo Ji, the cattle farm is an excellent spot for viewing the beautiful scenery of these snow-capped mountains. Here, you can enjoy the picturesque view of snow peaks, forests, grasslands, streams, lakes, waterfalls, and pastoral wooden houses complementing each other. It is worth mentioning that Luorong Cattle Farm is also an essential passageway to the famous attractions of the Five-Color Lake and Milk Lake. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Become a Trip.com member for free!

I'm already looking forward to the legendary summer in Daocheng Yading

This is one of the few places in Western Sichuan where one never tires of staying, boasting most of the landscapes of Western Sichuan, snow-capped mountains, meadows, lakes, blue skies, white clouds, cattle and sheep... A place you want to visit again and again, except for a bit of altitude sickness otherwise, I would really live here for a month. . 🎈How to play in Daocheng Yading? 👉Yading scenic area is generally divided into two routes: long and short, both starting from Chonggu Temple. 📍Long route attractions: 🌟Luorong Pasture, 🌟Milk Lake, 🌟Five-Color Lake, 🌟Yangmaiyong, 🌟Xiannairi 👉(After purchasing an electric car ticket at Chonggu Temple, queue up to take the electric car, it takes about 20 minutes to reach the starting point for trekking—Luorong Pasture. From Luorong Pasture to Milk Lake, it normally takes about 3-4 hours to reach the top of the mountain. The long route requires a whole day, it's quite tiring and consumes a lot of physical strength, so it's recommended to start early.) . 📍Short route attractions: 🌟Xiannairi, 🌟Chonggu Temple, 🌟Pearl Lake, 🌟Zhaguanbeng, 🌟Chonggu Meadow 👉(The short route is very nice, not too tiring to tour, half a day is enough, you can walk, stop, and take photos at leisure, no pressure) . 🚶If you only have one day, it is recommended to take the long route, after reaching the top on the long route you can see two lakes, Five-Color Lake and Milk Lake, while the short route only has one lake, Pearl Lake. . ✔Tips for the long route. 🔺When you reach the signpost, you haven't arrived at Milk Lake yet. Most people might choose to go to Milk Lake first 🔺Then climb the slope to see Five-Color Lake. The 'Five-Color Lake' indicated by this signpost requires climbing a very steep set of stairs 🔺First see Five-Color Lake, then go downhill to see Milk Lake. Personally, I suggest following this signpost to see Five-Color Lake first, so that the rest of the way is all downhill, which will be much easier. . ☑Accommodation: You can stay in Daocheng County, Shangri-La Town, or Yading Village. . ⚠⚠Precautions: ⚜Take Rhodiola in advance, Daocheng Yading really can cause severe altitude sickness ⚜No matter when you come, bring a windbreaker, thick coat, and accessories like hats, scarves, gloves🧤 ⚜Bring more dry food, water, fruits, etc.

Help!! I'm already looking forward to the summer in Daocheng Yading!!

Unconsciously, the new year has come, I have been to many places in western Sichuan, opened the phone 📱 album to find that I took so many natural 🌳 self-healing pictures and beautiful moments, what surprised me 😱 is Daocheng Yading~ The scenery here doesn't need a filter!! The greatest significance of photos is to freeze wonderful moments‼️ The greatest significance of travel is to record, vivid scenery🌲 Only after going to Yading can you feel the healing of the snow mountains and grasslands If you have time, you must go here, it's really worth 🏞 . For those who want to go to Daocheng Yading in the near future or during the holidays, you can look at the 📝 small strategy that I have painstakingly organized for everyone, more or less useful, hurry up and code it~ . 🏠 Accommodation recommendation: 【Shangri-La Town + Ren Village】, eating, drinking and playing are very convenient, mainly because it is very close to the scenic area, you can get there by bus ⌚️10-20min in the morning . 🚘 Transportation choice 【Sedan + SUV】, most people will choose to play the 5-7 day western Sichuan circuit, starting from Xinduqiao, the transportation in the scenic area is mainly 【Electric sightseeing car 🛺 + horse riding 🐎】 . ✅ Scenic area route 🔸 Long line: Chonggu Temple-Luorong Cattle Farm-Milk Sea-Five Color Sea (closed from 11.30 to next May) 🔸 Short line: Chonggu Temple-Pearl Sea-Return the same way (you can also take an electric car to Luorong Cattle Farm) . 🏔️ Travel strategy 1⃣️ The entrance ticket to the scenic area is 💰266 (including the first day bus 120), if you go in again the next day, the bus will be half price 2⃣️ The round trip of the electric car is about 70, if you can take a car, don't walk, plateau hiking is very tiring‼️ 3⃣️ If you want to play the long line, you must enter the park before 7:40, go to Luorong Cattle Farm plank road to ride a horse (⚠️ There are many people riding horses in the horse gang, if you are late, there will be no more) 4⃣️ First take the bus (sit on the left to see Xian Nairi), go to 1post station Zhagunbeng, about 1h, then choose long line or short line 5⃣️ The long line continues to choose the electric car, the latest one is 19:00 6⃣️ There are only 2 toilets 🚾 in the scenic area, don't get a bad stomach, one is located in Zhagunbeng, and the other is near Chonggu Temple 7⃣️ Do a good job of sun protection, there is no sunlight ☀️ on cloudy days, but the ultraviolet rays are still very strong 8⃣️ The Milk Sea and Five Color Sea are at the pass, the wind is particularly strong, you can wear thicker and warmer 9⃣️ Gloves 🧤, masks, scarves 🧣 and hats cannot be less, it is best to prepare a climbing stick 🔟 The knees will be particularly uncomfortable when returning on the long line, don't walk too fast . 🚗【7 days and 6 nights itinerary in Western Sichuan】 D1: Chengdu-Kangding-Yuzixi-Xinduqiao D2: Xinduqiao-Tianlu Eighteen Bay-Litang-Letong Ancient Town-Shangri-La Town D3: One-day tour of Daocheng Yading D4: Daocheng Yading Short Line-Litang-Xinlong D5: Xinlong-Seda D6: Seda-Yuan Guan Yala Snow Mountain-Danba D7: Danba-Siguniang Mountain Shuangqiao Gully-Chengdu

Today's itinerary is on foot: from Luorong Niuchang to Milk Sea, the whole journey is Shizi Road and Mountain Road. It is 5 kilometers one way, 8 hours on foot, and 300 yuan for a person riding, 5-6 hours. There are only three horses a day, 30 per class. The earliest class is 8:00, the second class is around 11:00, and the third class is one or two o'clock in the afternoon. (ps If you feel that you have good physical strength, it is recommended to walk up the mountain, walk through to be able to feel this paradise more deeply, and there is also a horse riding only to the milk sea, not to the five-color sea, after the milk sea, the groom took a few shots The photo will remind you to go down.) When going down the mountain, I walked faster, and the car in the same line was waiting for us. So we must speed up the pace. After a short while, I returned to the Luorongniuchang, and returned to the inn with the sightseeing car in the scenic spot. All the way to the road wet by the golden golden leaves, I really want to go there all the way, it must be very romantic. Goodbye, the last pure land, goodbye, the dream of Shangri-La, goodbye, that colorful autumn. Goodbye Aden. I came back to Daocheng County with my night. Its rare to go hiking on Luoyinniu today. Ill take care of myself and order a big one. Beef prawn, eat well and sleep well.

A place you'll regret whether you come or not

Photo check-in. This is a place that people both love and hate. Imagine, you spent 180 yuan to buy a ticket, then sat on a coach for over an hour, advancing along the mountain road. Friends who get carsick, you need to be prepared, because this road may make you feel uncomfortable. After getting off the bus, you need to spend another 70 yuan to take a sightseeing electric car, this journey is also a real test of endurance. After getting off, you need to walk a distance to reach the stream and the film location, then you can start your hike. The mountain road here is rugged, if you feel too tired to walk, you can choose to ride a horse up the mountain, but you need to pay a price of 600 yuan. After riding the horse to the middle of the mountain, you can only rely on your own feet to continue up the mountain. During this process, the temperature difference and weather changes are very large, you may only need to wear a skirt at the foot of the mountain, but it may rain heavily at the Milk Sea, making you feel exceptionally cold, even if you are wearing a down jacket, it is hard to resist. As for oxygen cylinders, I think it depends on personal circumstances. My friend and I only used two oxygen cylinders in total. However, I strongly recommend that you bring climbing sticks and raincoats, these things are really useful when needed. As for food, you can bring some chocolate, self-heating pots, instant noodles, bread, etc., these can help you replenish energy. The monkeys in the scenic area are very active, they will come out to find food, and may even directly grab your pocket, so everyone must pay attention to safety when playing. I once encountered a monkey trying to grab my pocket, fortunately, I reacted quickly and was not scratched by it. In short, although this place has many beautiful scenery and unique experiences, it also has some difficulties and challenges. Therefore, before deciding to go, be sure to make full preparations and planning.

Just returned from Daocheng Yading with tears, the lesson is that you must listen to advice if you go to Daocheng in February

Daocheng Yading in February is a poem in a fairy tale, with few people and beautiful scenery. It is very suitable for friends who can adapt to high altitude hiking and mountaineering. I sincerely discourage those who need to rest after a few steps. There are two routes to choose from in Zhaguanbeng, one short and one long. If you feel that your physical strength is not very good, you can choose the short line: take a sightseeing car from Riwa for 1 hour to Zhaguanbeng, and then hike for 15 minutes to Chonggu Temple. From Chonggu Temple to Pearl Sea is 1.5 kilometers, and the round trip takes about 1.5 hours. Pearl Sea is the best angle to see the front of Xian Nairi, and it is also the first sea worth seeing in the Yading scenic area. The distance is not far, the water here is gem green, clear and transparent, and the holy mountain is in the distance, the scenery is very beautiful. This section of the road is all paved with plank roads, and hiking is relatively easy. Those who do not have high altitude sickness and often like to hike and climb mountains can choose to hike the long line: take a sightseeing car from Riwa for about 1 hour to Zhaguanbeng, and then hike for 15 minutes to Chonggu Temple. Take an electric car from Chonggu Temple to Luorongniu Field, and start hiking from Luorongniu Field. After walking a section of the road to the Diamond Line, the terrain is relatively steep. After walking, set off for Milk Sea, the road is relatively flat, and then go to Five Color Sea. This route is suitable for friends with good physical strength, and the difficulty is very high. Hello everyone, welcome to Mr. Lin's travel channel. If you like my sharing, remember to like, follow, comment, and forward to support! Some people say that you can also choose to ride a horse on the long line. You can choose to ride a horse for 300 yuan per person, but if you weigh more than 180 jin, you will not be pulled. Even if you have money in the peak season, you may not have a horse, because there are only 30 horses and they cannot be allocated. So now you can ride a horse in the off-season, but the last 2 kilometers must be hiked. Most of the entire section is uphill steps. If you don't have enough physical strength, you basically need to rest for a while after walking ten steps. I deeply understand the phrase 'one step at a time'. I really saw some people crying tired along the way, saying they would never come again. So many people only say how beautiful Daocheng is and how good it looks when they look at the guide. But really few people will tell you how much suffering it will be for those with poor physical strength and prone to high altitude sickness. For those with poor physical strength, when you think you can hold on for a while and you will be there soon, the reality is that there are endless steps waiting for you. After going through all the hardships and climbing up, you have to go down the same way you came up, without a cable car. I see many people like to join small groups. The pitfall of small groups is that the driver will take you to a restaurant with a rebate for meals, and then take you to a so-called supermarket or health center, and then tell you that what you buy outside is not medical oxygen, it is useless on the plateau, you have to buy medical oxygen here, 58 per bottle. In fact, it's just a scam, and then they give everyone a free blood sugar test, which is usually low, and then many people will buy it, and then they promote high-energy peptides to everyone, 158-178 per box of three small bottles, our peptides work after eating a bottle, in fact, people with high altitude sickness will still have high altitude sickness after eating. Please avoid the pit here, don't be fooled easily if you join a group. The tourist center of Yading Scenic Area is at an altitude of about 2900 meters, and generally will not produce high altitude sickness, but the altitude of Five Color Sea, Milk Sea and other places are all at 4700 meters, which is easy to produce high altitude sickness. Yading Scenic Area is very large, the ticket is valid for two days, do not buy oxygen cylinders in Daocheng Yading Scenic Area, you can prepare in advance, climbing sticks can be rented or bought directly in the scenic area, it will not be very expensive, you can also buy in advance.

The severely underestimated hidden gem in Western Sichuan!

I've been to Western Sichuan many times, but only this place makes me linger☺️ Introduced by local friends👬 but it has not been fully developed yet Here 🈶 original autumn colors🍁 and snowscapes❄️ Passing through snow mountains⛰️, mountains and rivers, lakes Cows🐮, sheep🐏, monkeys🐒, groundhogs🐭 Horses🐴, caterpillar fungus🌿, natural Dubai hot springs♨ 🌟🌟Recommended attractions🌟🌟 1️⃣Jiagenba's Richetun You must check in at this attraction, Jiagenba👄 beautiful attractions, all the way is the color of autumn🍁, passing through small streams and wooden bridges are very good Take pictures📸, the feeling of Tibetan village, absolutely is a photography paradise, also 🉑 bring camping equipment, there are empty lawns for camping along the way 2️⃣Jiayilaco in Yuke The autumn color of Jiayilaco can't be replaced by any attraction, locals call it "Milk Sea", blue sky and white clouds☁️, holy snow mountains🏔️, mountains full of yellow leaves🍂, emerald lakes 🉑 hiking 🉑 horse riding, also 🉑 ride a motorcycle🏍️ up the mountain, hiking round trip about 3h, single motorcycle ride 60💰, round trip 120💰, all the way is intoxicating scenery😍 3️⃣Natural hot springs under the snow mountain Dubai hot springs are pure natural wild hot springs♨, I am very interested, everyone also 🉑 go to feel, is an independent hot spring room, a room a pool, when tired, soak a soak♨ to relieve fatigue and cold But it is also not recommended to soak for too long, because it may cause hypoxia

The colorful prayer flags and the blue seas, the beauty of the snowy plateau seems to be concentrated here. Like the local devout Tibetans, walking to the mountains is the best way to experience the scenery of Aden. What is the point of seeing Daocheng Yading? [Aden Scenic Area]: Chonggu Temple, Luorong Niuchang, Milk Sea, Wuqinghai, Pearl Sea, Three Great Mountains (Xinnai Peak, Yangmai Yongfeng, Xia Duo Duo Jifeng) Jade City Aden trekking route Aden scenic area is very large, it is recommended to arrange a two-day tour in Aden, usually the previous day is to live in Yading Village or Riwa Town, it is recommended to play long-term. [Challenge self-walking long line]: --Chonggu TempleLuorong NiuchangMilk SeaFive-color sea 1 Long line is recommended to leave early in the morning. Riwa takes a sightseeing bus for about 1 hour to fill the collapse, and then walks to Chonggu Temple for 15 minutes. This route is suitable for friends with better physical strength, which is a little more difficult. 2 From Chonggu Temple to Luorong Niuchang 6.7KM, walk back and forth for about 3 hours or take a scenic battery car (round-trip 80 yuan / person, one-way 50 yuan / person) about 30 minutes. It is recommended to take a battery car up the mountain, otherwise it is very likely that there will be less time behind. 3 When you are down the mountain, if you have enough time, then walk from the Luorongniuchang to the Chonggu Temple, and the way down the mountain is better. In the Luorong cattle farm, you can see three holy mountains: Xiannai, 6032 meters above sea level, Yang Maiyong, 5958 meters above sea level, Shanuo Duoji, 5958 meters above sea level. From the Luorong cattle farm to the milk sea 5km, walk around for about 4-6 hours, milk sea to the five-color sea for about 20 minutes. This section of the road is full of dirt roads. The road ahead is relatively flat, and it is better to walk. There will be steep slopes in the back section. It is not too good to go. It has to climb over a cornice. Although the distance is only 5KM, it is extremely difficult, and the most self is very large. The challenge. After arriving at the milk sea, you can feel like you are blending into the snow-capped mountains and looking around. They are all beautiful scenery of the snow-capped mountains. When you arrive at the milk sea in different seasons, the colors you see will be a little different. The color is more green, and the fall is more blue. Some people say that the photo of the milk sea is just a small blue water, but when you really arrive hard, you will find that the sapphire lake is really amazing. .

Five Color Lake & Milk Lake, Yading, Sichuan

Getting There - Stay in Shangri-la (Riwa Village) the night before entering the park or stay in Aden Village inside the park at bus stop 2. Moving through the park is only on Green Park busses. Purchase the bus and park entrance ticket for 193 RMB in Shangri-la. Busses run from 720 AM to 6 PM. The bus takes about 45 minutes to Aden Village and 30 minutes onward to Chonggu Monastery. From the bus parking walk about 500 meters uphill past Chonggu Monastery to the small park bus lot. Purchase a ticket for 80 RMB round trip or 50 RMB one way to Luorong Pasture. Takes about 20 minutes. Alternatively, hike to Luorong Pasture on a wooden and metal boardwalk for nearly 7 km, takes about 1.5 to 2 hours. Trail begins on the right of the open field near the Chonggu Monastery. To begin walk up the steep path from the bus parking lot, come to an area with a small river on the right with Tibetan water wheels, to the left is the bus ticket purchase window, cross the bridge and follow the path into the woods. The Monastery will be behind you and the open field on your left. Most of the hike is flat with a few minor climbs. The last couple of kilometers is a flat boardwalk that follows a small river on the right. At Luorong Pasture follow the hoards of people on the boardwalk and into the woods past a small village, waterfalls, and views of the mountains. The trail is relatively easily of properly acclimatized. The final push to the two lakes is steep metal stairs for 400 meters or so. Once you complete the stairs you'll have a decision to make, had towards Milk Lake or Five Color Lake. The hike to Milk Lake is to the left, flat, and easy and takes about 25 minutes, 1.5 km. The hike to Five Color Lake is uphill, steep, wooden stairs and is 800 meters. Hike towards Milk Lake first, the trail connects from there to Five Color Lake and the climb is more gradual and only 400 meters.

Like the local devout Tibetans, walking to the mountains is the best way to experience the scenery of Aden. However, due to the high altitude of the Aden Reserve, it took me more than seven hours to walk a full circle or I needed considerable physical strength. When you see such a beautiful landscape of the Five Seas, all the hard work is worth it. The five-color sea is located above the milk sea, between Xiannai and Yang Maiyong. Named for producing five different colors under the sun. Five seas at an altitude of 4,500 meters. After a steep slope on the right side of the milk sea, the lake is round and the lake is clear. Under the sunlight, it reflects the multicolored light. The Shenhu Lake in the hearts of locals is said to be able to "reverse history and predict the future." The Buddhist scriptures praised the lake, saying it was in the same name as the sheep of Tibet.

Daocheng Yading, the last Shangri-La, a pure land on the blue planet

Daocheng Yading, the last Shangri-La, a pure land on the blue planet. The 'last Shangri-La' that is often talked about refers to Daocheng Yading! However, it should be distinguished from Shangri-La in Yunnan, as they are not the same place! Yading is the most unmissable scenic spot in Daocheng. Yading Scenic Area is located in Shangri-La Town, Daocheng County, Sichuan Province, and is a sacred place in the heart of every traveler. Here, the Chonggu Temple, Luorong Pasture, Milk Lake, Five-Color Lake... each spot seems like a masterpiece of nature, breathtakingly beautiful. Don't forget the three sacred mountains—Mount Xiannairi, Mount Yangmaiyong, and Mount Xianuoduoji. They stand between heaven and earth, guarding this pure land. Around Daocheng, there are also beautiful sights such as Bang River, Sangdui, and Red Beach waiting for you to explore. The ancient monasteries of Gongga Langjiling, Bangpu, and Xiongdeng are witnesses to history, allowing one to feel the profound cultural heritage of this place. Tips: The best travel season for Daocheng Yading is from March to October every year, especially during the golden autumn, when the scenery here is even more picturesque. How to get there? Plane: There are flights to Daocheng from all over the country, but remember to take precautions against altitude sickness! Bus: Depart from Chengdu Xinnanmen Bus Station, but it takes two days to arrive, and you can't stop to enjoy the scenery along the way at will, which is not very free. Self-driving: Although self-driving allows you to explore the scenery along the way more freely, the roads in western Sichuan are steep and dangerous, and it is not recommended for those unfamiliar with the road conditions or novice drivers. Of course, you can also choose to join a local group day tour or semi-independent travel, which is time-saving and worry-free, and you can make new friends! Travel essentials: ID card, sunglasses, sunscreen, travel water bottle, canned oxygen, common medicines, etc. Before setting off, remember to prepare physically and mentally, maintain an optimistic mood, and understand that altitude sickness is a normal phenomenon that usually improves after a day or two. Daocheng Yading, the last pure land on this blue planet, is waiting for you to explore its mystery and beauty. Take your good mood and set off together!

The Five-Color Pond of Daocheng Yading

The Five-Color Pond, known in Tibetan as 'Dan Zeng Cuo', is a highland lake nestled between the sacred mountains of Xiannairi and Yangmaiyong, at an altitude of 4600 meters. Its shape is circular, and although it only covers an area of 0.7 hectares, it is the highest lake in the Yading area, thus holding an extraordinary natural status. To reach the Five-Color Pond, travelers must start from the right side of Milk Lake, climb over a steep slope, and then ascend about 100 meters in height. Once atop the ridge, the magnificent view of the Five-Color Pond unfolds before your eyes. Approaching the lakeside, the scene on the water's surface is enchanting, as if you are in a dreamlike world. The water is crystal clear, and the lakebed is like a grid outlined with ink, filled with shades of blue. When the weather is clear and the air is fresh, the sunlight sprinkled on the lake makes the plants at the bottom and the water itself emit different glows. This gradual transition of light is full of subtle changes, like a still yet majestic heavy-color oil painting, eliciting wonder and admiration. Even on cloudy days, the Five-Color Pond still exudes its charming allure. Nestled among the mountains, it displays the deepest blue, calming the mind and allowing one to profoundly experience the ever-changing nature of life, like flowing water. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Become a Trip.com member for free!
