Mirror of the Sky | Litang is waiting for you

| Litang is waiting for you. Litang | It's really far away, and the scenery is also really beautiful. Ding Zhen's hometown is far, but it's really beautiful. Especially the section of G318 from Yajiang to Litang, where the clouds hang in the sky like cotton candy, it feels like you can touch them by reaching out, truly worthy of the title 'City in the Sky'. Route: Chengdu - Xinduqiao - Yajiang - Litang (The overall altitude of Litang is above 4000 meters, it is recommended to stay one night in Xinduqiao or Yajiang to acclimate) Road conditions: The entire route from Chengdu to Litang is paved with asphalt, and the road conditions are very good. You will pass through the 'Heavenly Road's Eighteen Bends' and the Kazi La Mountain at an altitude of 4718 meters, be careful not to engage in strenuous exercise. Equipment: The temperature difference between morning and evening is large, be sure to prepare down jackets or fleece-lined jackets, as well as hats, oxygen tanks, ibuprofen, cold medicine, etc. (I saw several people in Litang lying down and inhaling oxygen directly due to altitude sickness, with symptoms like headache, nausea, and difficulty breathing, oxygen is a must!) Check-in spots: 【Litang Letong Ancient Town】Located within the county town, you can rent Tibetan costumes for photos in the ancient town, and the photos taken there are very impressive. 【Changqingchun Ke'er Monastery】Close to Letong Ancient Town, you can drive directly into it, shoes must be removed to visit the main temple, and photography is not allowed. 【Changqingchun Ke'er Monastery's Back Mountain】This is the place overlooking the entire Litang county town. Navigate to Changqingchun Ke'er Monastery, and after arriving, go up the road on the right side of the temple, drive up at the fork, and you'll arrive in a few minutes. 【Litang West City Gate】This is the must-visit spot for checking in on G318 in your lifetime, there is a large landmark on the ground, and if you have a drone, the aerial photography is very impressive. These are the places in Litang county town where most people check in. Accommodation: There are many hotels in Litang, and even during the National Day, the prices are quite reasonable. If you are worried about altitude sickness, try to find a hotel that provides oxygen. If you have enough time, be sure to explore the Genie South Line, the entire route is breathtakingly beautiful! Sedans can go to Zeba Village (also called Chachongxi Village), Ding Zhen's hometown Xiaze Tong Village, Genie's Eye, the famous Lone Tree, etc., while SUVs can complete the entire Genie South Line to Batang. The next article will share the beauty of Genie. Litang Monastery
