Experience once in a lifetime "body in hell🔥eyes in heaven✨"

You must visit it once in your life, it is known as "the last pure land on the blue planet" - Daocheng Yading "Daocheng" is a county town in the southern part of Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, and "Yading" is one of the scenic spots in "Daocheng" County. Everyone collectively calls it "Daocheng Yading Scenic Area." Daocheng Yading has glaciers 🧊, snow-capped mountains 🏔️, canyons ⛰️, forests 🌳 and lakes 🏞️, as well as three sacred mountains: Xiannairi, Yangmaiyong, and Xianuoduoji, and three sacred lakes including the Milk Sea, the Five-Colored Sea and the Pearl Sea. It has been a holy place of worship in the hearts of Tibetans for many years. The road from Luolong Cow Farm to the Milk Lake and the Five-Colored Lake was actually the route used by Tibetans to circumambulate the mountain in the past. Later, some photographers came and took beautiful photos and shared them online, and the reputation gradually spread... In the book "Lost Horizon" written by British writer Hilton in 1933, he mentioned a mysterious, peaceful and harmonious natural secret place - Shangri-La, which included photos taken in Aden📷 As the scenic area is located at an altitude of more than 4,000 meters, you still have to hike throughout the scenic area, and there are many uphill roads (the Milk Lake and the Five-Colored Lake are all uphill and have a lot of stairs) You spend almost half the day in there, and it also requires a certain amount of physical strength💪🏻 The actual situation is also due to different physical tolerance of each person. It’s best to do what you can and not force yourself! After all, it is not easy to keep going up at high altitudes, and most people will experience altitude sickness. When traveling, in addition to paying attention to altitude sickness, everyone should also be prepared to keep warm and deal with altitude sickness. It is best to bring a backpack 🎒 Bring water/glucose/energy drinks, etc. (I personally find coke soothing) For safety reasons, you should bring an oxygen tank. Don't be too anxious on the return trip, don't take it lightly PS: Passengers holding a Home Return Permit or a foreign passport must register their personal information before swiping their tickets to enter the park (at the counter opposite the ticket machine) Address: Yading Scenic Area, Daocheng County, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province Tickets: ¥146 (peak season) ¥120 (off season) Sightseeing bus ticket: ¥ 120 PS: You need to make an online reservation in advance with your real name. #most beautiful scenery #beautiful scenery #picturesque scenery #beautiful scenery #high altitude journey #mountain climbing #plateau #plateau lake #alpine lake #snow mountain #sacred mountain #milk sea #Tibetan #Ganzi Tibetan #pilgrimage #pilgrimage place #holy place #Shangri-La #mysterious #secret place #must-visit attraction in a lifetime #Sichuan #travel to western Sichuan #travel to western Sichuan
