Worldly Cravings

The best way to alleviate anxiety is to experience nature

A song, Blue Lotus, took me to 318, a place I've visited several times, Xindu Bridge. I've never been here in winter. Xindu Bridge is not a bridge, but a picturesque Tibetan town, with green mountains facing each other and herds of cattle and horses. 🚗 Departing from Chengdu on the weekend, I slowly searched for hotels on the road and found a newly opened hotel, Kangding Wolian·Huayin Hotel. I went there with a try-it-out attitude. On the way, I received a call from the staff, informing us of the road conditions and that they would turn on the heating for us. The exterior of the hotel is high-end, and the front desk staff are friendly. 🏨 Hotel environment The room is smart and modern, equipped with an oxygen machine, humidifier, cola, which are all essential items on the plateau. The bedding is also pure cotton. I must praise the mattress, which is very enveloping and doesn't leave a gap at the waist, giving the feeling of sleeping at home. It's clear that the boss has chosen these items with the customer's experience in mind. After breakfast the next day, we planned to go to Yuzixi. The boss heard about our itinerary and recommended a less-known pass, Juri Temple. We first went to the Yarla Snow Mountain Viewing Platform, where the magnificent and towering snow mountain was right in front of us, which was very shocking. In the afternoon, we returned to the Juri Temple Pass, which was really good. It's close to Gongga, much better than the less-known pass of Yuzixi. We even saw the sunrise over the golden mountain here, which was a real stroke of luck. After watching the sunset, we returned to the hotel (we extended our stay for another day because of this service ). After dinner, we saw the deep stars in the courtyard. The next day, we planned to return to Chengdu from Danba, taking a small loop in western Sichuan. The road goes through Tagong. The grass in Tagong is withered in winter, so there's not much to see. We just turned around in Muya Temple and then took National Highway 248 to Danba. On the way, we found blue ice pillars, haha, they're natural 👚 Dressing guide Wear bright-colored clothes, such as purple and pink. Bring a scarf and gloves, because the wind is strong at the pass, so you must bring a hat. Take photos and make films. ⚠️ Precautions Since it's located on the plateau, everyone should prepare oxygen bottles, glucose, and other medicines to prevent altitude sickness. Don't force yourself to go up to the plateau. There's no vegetation in winter, and the wind at the pass can easily cause oxygen deficiency. You should judge based on your own physical condition. If you're driving, you must bring anti-skid chains. The weather on the plateau changes as quickly as a child's face. Be sure to bring them, better safe than sorry. Spring has the color of blooming mountain flowers, summer has the scenery of ancient trees, autumn has the beauty of red birch leaves, and winter has the leisure of snow peaks. This describes the scenery of Xindu Bridge throughout the year. It's as beautiful as heaven.
