Life advice: Choose Kangding as the first stop in western Sichuan!

If you plan to drive to western Sichuan, you can choose Kangding, which is at an altitude of more than 2,000 meters, as the first stop to adapt to the plateau environment in advance. Kangding not only has romantic love songs and spectacular large prayer wheels, but every day here is a blend of faith and life. Walking on the street, you will see monks in red robes, with Buddha in their hearts, walking calmly, whether in quiet places or bustling areas, they are so composed. This feeling is really admirable. ✔️Recommended check-in points📷 1. Guoda Bridge Here you can buy various fungi. Navigate to 'Guoda Bridge Market', where many locals go to buy ingredients. However, it's best to know a little about it to avoid being scammed😂. 2. Kangding Liuliu City Here you can experience folk customs and check in at the '318 Road Trip of a Lifetime' sign. 3. Kangding Love Song Square This is the center of the small town, and it becomes more lively after dusk. People sing and dance, and it is a cultural activity square for locals. We randomly chose a yak meat mushroom soup pot (Niu Yi Pot Western Sichuan Specialty Mushroom Soup Pot), and it was so delicious! I still miss it after coming back... The soup was fresh and the meat was tender. The yak meat there is also of good quality. The mushrooms in this season paired with the yak meat soup pot are simply amazing! And they also have a parking lot, which is very convenient for parking! ⚠️Precautions July and August are the rainy season in western Sichuan, so be sure to check the weather forecast before traveling. In plateau areas, if you feel unwell or have altitude sickness, stop and rest before continuing. Be sure to bring warm clothes to keep warm and avoid catching a cold, and also bring oxygen bottles just in case.
