Without taking a single breath of oxygen, I believe Daocheng Yading is worth the visit! It's incredibly beautiful

Before going to Daocheng Yading, I read many travel guides that advised against it. There's a big divide online, and it seems most people can't handle it after trying, but since I was already there, driven by curiosity, how could I not go? You take the scenic area bus, then the sightseeing bus, and then you hike. It rained all the way, and I wavered many times, but in the end, I made it to the top. The heavens were kind, and it was clear skies above. It was truly beautiful, with the Five-Color Pond, Milk Sea, and snow-capped mountains all around. The camera can't capture its beauty; you have to see it with your own eyes to feel its magnificence. Daocheng Yading is really worth the visit. Yes, it's tiring, but while you're young, you should go for it. Here are a few things to note: 1. There's oxygen in the town, and it's better to use an oxygen pack. Bottled oxygen is expensive and less effective. I didn't use it at all, just took breaks as needed and felt fine. 2. If you're taking a long route, try to start early because it's a long journey. Give yourself plenty of time to rest. I got on the bus after nine, which was a bit late; by three in the afternoon, they start clearing people out. 3. Carry as little as possible, just one or two bottles of water, some compressed biscuits, chocolate, and a raincoat. Don't take anything else; everything extra is a burden. 4. The most critical pitfall is the bus ride down the mountain. On the way down, thirty people are crammed into the bus. With the lack of oxygen and an empty stomach, the winding road for an hour is very uncomfortable. One hour feels like ten, worse than climbing the mountain. When the bus reaches the bottom, you'll see several large trash cans, and every bus has people who have gotten sick. So, when you get off the mountain, eat something and drink some fluids where the sightseeing bus is; they have food and drinks for sale. Then, on the bus ride down, don't look at your phone, open the air vent, close your eyes, and sleep, and you'll be fine.
