Daochung Yading in eastern Tibet, China, also known as the "last uncharted territory in China." Of the two hiking trails, the Niu Naihai is the longer and has the greater elevation difference. Hai) / Five Color Sea course - Approximate 20km round trip, takes about 4 hours - The altitude of "Five Color Sea" is 4,500m, and "Niunai Sea" is 4,600m - You can use a sightseeing cart to take you to the 6km point: 120 yuan round trip The course starts with walking along the marsh promenade, which is basically gentle The second half of the course is a continuous climb, and as the altitude increases, your breathing will become faster More and more people drop out due to altitude sickness, and many people buy oxygen tanks or drink Chinese Red Bull to get pumped up (but it's tourist prices, so it's better to buy it at the foot of the mountain) If you're not used to high mountain climbing, it's quite tough, but Even so, the highlights, Five Color Sea and Niunai Sea, are truly lakes in the sky They're so majestic and overwhelming, like stepping into the realm of the gods! It's a spot worth going to even if it's a struggle 📍Inacheng Aden Wushikai/Niunaikai Course Location: Shangri-La Town, Daocheng County, Ganzi Tibet Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province Course distance: 20km round trip Necessary equipment: Cold weather gear, comfortable shoes, fluids to prevent altitude sickness, snacks, energy drinks, medicine, oxygen tanks, etc. Admission fee: Adults 266 yuan ~ (valid for 2 days) Card fee: Round trip 120 yuan *There are temporary toilets along the course #Absolutely free trip #Sumida River cruise #China #Eastern Tibet #Amazing view #Amazing view trekking
