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.
