Daocheng Yading, Sichuan | The beauty of snow-capped mountains.

Daocheng Yading is absolutely stunning. Although the long route is closed (Milk Lake and Five-Color Lake), the snow-capped mountains and redwoods, golden and white snow, are beautiful! ❌ But Daocheng is not a place you can just go to! 🧐 It's not suitable for a spontaneous trip, and there are many things to pay attention to. Today, I have compiled a travel guide for you! I suggest you read this article if you plan to go there. ❗️Must-see attractions in Daocheng Yading 1️⃣ Three Holy Mountains of Yading: Xian Nairi, Yang Maiyong, and Xia Nuo Duoji, known as the "Soul of Shangri-La", are the three sacred mountains and the soul of Yading Scenic Area. 2️⃣ Luorong Pasture: A wide and beautiful meadow with the three majestic sacred mountains in the background, a great place to enjoy the snow-capped mountains. 3️⃣ Milk Lake: A high-altitude lake at 4,600 meters above sea level, surrounded by snow-capped mountains and meadows.

It is recommended to buy a bottle of oxygen and put it in your bag just in case. Trekking poles are a must, as they are your support for climbing up and down the mountain. ❗️Take the sightseeing bus at the entrance of the scenic area. It takes about 60 minutes to reach Zha Guangbeng, where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. ❗️Walk about 800 meters to reach Chonggu Temple. There is a sightseeing electric car in the scenic area, which takes about 20 minutes to reach Luorong Pasture (remember to keep the ticket stub). There are horses in the scenic area. If you can ride a horse, do it. It will save you a lot of energy. 🚗Recommended itinerary ② D1 Chengdu - Yuzixi/Gedilamu - Xinduqiao D2 Xinduqiao - Tianlu Eighteen Bends - Kazila Mountain - Litang Letong Ancient Town - Haizi Mountain - Riwa D3 Daocheng - Yading Day Tour - Riwa D4 Riwa - Second Visit to Daocheng - Xinduqiao D5 Xinduqiao - Tagong Grassland - Moxi Park - Muya Monastery - 434 Airport Road - Red Child - Chengdu
