Walking around Kangding, Sichuan

Kangding is a county level city that is 8,400 feet ( 2560 m) above sea level. It is located at the seat of Garze Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuna, China. It is the home of Han Chinese, Tibetans and other minorities. Getting There - From Chengdu you can either take a bus or by plane. Buses to Kangding leave from Xinnamen Bus Station. The journey takes you about 5-8 hours deoending on traffic. If you are going during holiday than it is carzy traffic. It took us 14 hours. That's how busy the roads are to Kangding. There are many attractions in the city and outside the city that requires 2-3 or even 5 hours drive. I have posted attractions in Kangding so please feel free to check them out. Food & Restaurants - Food here is amazing. Tibetan and Chinese food are around and even some western food but not a lot of options. Shopping - If you are staying by the river then you are basically in the shopping street. ‼️Tip 1. Oxygen bottle- if you suffer from altitude sickness then you might be needing an oxygen bottle. There are oxygen bottles around so just grab if you feel dizzines, shortness of breath or headache. If you are under the weather when you visit Kangding then expect to experience discomfort. Enjoy your Kangding Trip. #tripblazers #mytripvlog #kangding #sichuan #china #chinatravel
