Let Daocheng Yading be more than just a place you pass by in your world

One must visit Daocheng Yading at least once in a lifetime! Go see the world depicted in movies, visit this place known as 'the last pure land on the blue planet' and experience the scenery that purifies the soul - 👉 Before you go, you should know: Daocheng Yading is a high-altitude Tibetan area, and the severity of altitude sickness varies from person to person, but it is advised that those who suffer severely from it should not go. Ensure adequate rest before going, and consider taking medication to alleviate altitude sickness in advance. Also, check the weather forecast before departure - 👉 Prepare before you go: ID card, student card, camera, thermos, cold medicine, altitude sickness medicine, motion sickness medicine, oxygen bottles, sunscreen, and pack some food if necessary • 👉 Gear: 🧢 Head: sunglasses, sun hat, scarf, warm hat 🧥 Upper body: shell jacket, down liner, thermal underwear, cotton-padded clothes 👖 Lower body: shell pants, cotton pants, long johns, etc. 🥾 Footwear: sports shoes, hiking boots or Dr. Martens sneakers 📍 Location: Inside Riwa Xiang, Daocheng County, southern part of Garzê Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture 🎫 Ticket: 150 yuan per person, half price for students and the elderly 🕐 Opening hours: 8:20-16:30 📅 Best season to visit: June to October - ✅ Travel Tips: 1️⃣ It is recommended to stay in Shangri-La Town for accommodation, which offers beautiful prices and good living conditions. It's about a 20-minute walk from the Daocheng Yading scenic area ~ 2️⃣ For those who plan to go hiking the next day, make sure to rest well the night before, as altitude sickness can be very uncomfortable during the hike 3️⃣ You can take a bus from Shangri-La Town to the scenic area, with a bus every 20 minutes. There's no need to ride a motorcycle or horse as they are expensive and it's cold in the morning, which can easily cause a cold 4️⃣ There are many shopping spots near the scenic area, and people will keep pushing local oxygen bottles - don't buy them, it's a rip-off! Prepare in advance if possible, or buy directly in Shangri-La Town for about 20 yuan per bottle 5️⃣ There are only two toilets in the scenic area, one at Zhaguanbeng and one on the short hiking trail. If possible, drink less water~ - 👉【7-Day Itinerary Share】 Day1 Chengdu - Kangding - Internet-famous Airport Road - Honghai Zi - Gedalama Sky City - Xinduqiao Day2 Xinduqiao - Tagong Grassland - Muya Monastery - Xiaoseda Garima Village - Clouds around Yala - Yajiang Day3 Yajiang - Tianlu Eighteen Bends - Kazila Mountain - Tuer Mountain - Daocheng Shangri-La Town Day4 Daocheng Yading Scenic Area (Luorong Pasture, Milk Sea, Five-Color Sea) Day5 Daocheng - Litang - Letong Ancient Town - Changqingchun Ke'er Monastery - Yajiang Day6 Yajiang - Balangshengdu 360 Viewing Platform - Gunong Village - Xinduqiao Day7 Xinduqiao - Sidingcuo - Kangding - Chengdu
