A round trip of three days, with a long journey, just to see the charm of Seda. The day before the trip, due to heavy snow, all the tickets booked online were cancelled. Worried about the trip being ruined, I contacted the scalpers in advance, in case I couldn't buy tickets, I would buy from the scalpers. I was lucky. I arrived at the Seda Jinma Distribution Center in the morning and just bought the last bus ticket to the Buddhist Academy in the morning. From the distribution center to the Buddhist Academy is about twenty to thirty kilometers. Along the way, the whole area of red houses is in sight, feeling that the journey of more than ten hours is not in vain. Seda is very beautiful, as beautiful as another world. Regrettably, when I walked down from the altar city to the library and prepared to return to the altar city, I suddenly felt dizzy and had altitude sickness, so I couldn't see the sky burial. Perhaps it's just not destined with the sky burial. When we were in the altar city, a Tibetan child came to us and said he could take us there. It costs 50 per person, which is actually taking a bus down the mountain and then walking up the mountain. Those who went said it was very tiring and not very pleasant in the end. I had no feeling at all when I went to Yulong Snow Mountain at 4680 meters above sea level, and I didn't have altitude sickness at 4000 meters above sea level in Western Sichuan, but I had severe altitude sickness in Seda. Friends who go to Seda still need to be mentally prepared, bring oxygen, just in case. There is a hospital in the Buddhist Academy, but it only opens at three o'clock in the afternoon in winter. You don't have to take the sightseeing bus into the mountain when you go down the mountain. You can take the bus down the mountain. There are many drivers who pull passengers back to Chengdu or Seda County. You need to bargain. Some drivers charge 70 per person to Seda. If you get on the bus and there are no other passengers, you may not leave for half an hour or an hour. My friends took a 7-seater car and paid 10 yuan per person to Seda County.

The morning fog in Seda is the reason why many people come here despite the hardships. As an unreliable photography rookie, I am waiting in the cold wind of dawn at this moment, and my hand holding the camera has been frozen. Everything in front of me is still very quiet, and the Seda shrouded in the dawn is quiet and soft, giving people a sense of time and space travel. The secret of time locked in the fog From time to time, clusters of fog float by my side Occasionally, the sun penetrates the gaps in the clouds It makes me squint and look at the nearby scenery In the mist all the way I saw the golden dome in the wonderful light I also saw the nuns who sometimes look up and sometimes look down Flowers, birds Dense forest, small house Just surround me from far and near Say hello from time to time It's hard to stop In this reluctance In the midst of reluctance I finally realized the secret of time preservation All the light and shadow here All are frozen and locked by the fog Even you can't catch its passing figure

Seda is a stop in western Sichuan that is well worth staying. Self-driving friends must navigate to the Buddhist College, and navigating to Seda is usually a county town tens of kilometers away. Seda Buddhist College has a daily limit, and you need to squat and grab tickets from the Luoruo Collection and Distribution Center three days in advance, , you can choose different time slots. Every time slot in Seda has its unique beauty. When you get up in the morning, the smoke is curling with the wind chime Sanskrit, the sky burial ceremony after noon, the twinkling lights in the dark night, every scene is worth experiencing. After getting off the car at the altar city, you can go to the prayer wheel to pray for blessings. There are three layers in total, three circles on each layer, and you must turn in the clockwise direction. Seda is 4000 meters above sea level. If you want to go to the viewing platform or overlook the entire Seda, you need to climb a lot of steps, which requires a high physical fitness. It is recommended to prepare oxygen and glucose in advance for emergency needs. I hope everyone can find their own faith on this pure land.
