Abuji Treeking in Shangri La
#summerdestinations
I embarked on a trek to Abuji Lake, situated at an elevation of 4,300 meters above sea level. Although the weather was less than ideal, obscuring the lake's visibility, I thoroughly relished the journey. The trek offered breathtaking scenery, including picturesque valleys, majestic mountains, and meandering rivers, all set amidst a stunning array of wildflowers.
Please note that the trekking infrastructure is still in its developmental stages, making it essential to exercise caution during the wet or rainy season. The ascent takes approximately 2-3 hours, and I recommend hiring a local tour guide available at the entrance gate to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
Additionally, be prepared for the absence of toilet facilities along the route, so plan accordingly. Despite the challenges, the trek's natural beauty and serenity make it an unforgettable adventure.

I thought Yubeng was already beautiful, but I was even more amazed by the beauty of Abujicuo...
Recently, I went on a hiking trip to Abujicuo with two friends🧗♂️. Before the trip, we flew from Kunming to Shangri-La✈️, and booked a guide in advance. The cost was RMB 380 per person💰, which included transportation and a simple meal, which was very convenient👍.
On the second day of the trip, the guide picked us up at 6:30 am🕡 at the location we sent in the group chat the night before, and then we headed to Xilianpen Pass🚗. As soon as we got out of the car, we were greeted by a beautiful snowy landscape❄️, as if we were in a world of ice and snow🧊.
We started at the foot of the mountain at 8 am🕗 and returned to Xilianpen Pass at 7 pm🕖, taking 10.5 hours to complete the 28 km journey📏. Our guide was a 60-year-old Tibetan man🧓, who sang Tibetan folk songs🎵 along the way and reminded us to speed up from time to time, which was very interesting😁. We had to climb over mountains⛰️, wade through knee-deep snow, walk through dense forests🌲, cross streams💧, and pass by quiet pastures🐄, climbing from an altitude of 3,000 meters to 4,200 meters to see the fairyland-like Abujicuo🏞️. The lake was frozen, like a tear from a god💧, and the scenery was so beautiful that we were mesmerized😍.
We met many fellow hikers👨👩👧👦 along the way, some fast and some slow. We recommend focusing on the road👣, paying attention to your physical condition, immersing yourself in nature🌳, and overcoming difficulties with a strong will💪.
Here are some practical hiking tips that we hope will help you🤗:
Clothing and gear🧥: A must-have is a windbreaker, paired with quick-drying clothes, thermal underwear, thermal pants, windbreaker pants, and quick-drying pants. Prepare thick socks🧦, comfortable hiking shoes👟, a warm hat🧢, sunglasses that can block the sun and snow👓, warm and practical gloves🧤, and trekking poles to keep warm and protected, making your trip more comfortable😌.
Food and drinks🍫: Bring plenty of snacks like Snickers and beef jerky to replenish your energy, and bring a thermos🥛 to ensure you can drink hot water at any time and keep your energy up🌟.
Electronic devices📱: Bring a power bank to ensure your phone and other devices have enough power to handle emergencies or capture the wonderful moments of your trip📷, leaving you with beautiful memories🥰.
By the way, be sure to keep warm🧣, and those with altitude sickness should act according to their own conditions, slow down when hiking, and avoid rushing🚶♂️ to ensure a safe and smooth trip🙏

Enjoy the most beautiful views from the top of the mountain.
Abuji Lake is a natural wonderland that is yet to be fully developed. It is said that it will soon become a scenic spot, so travelers who love the original scenery must not miss the current old hiking route.
The round trip is about 6 km. Although it is not long, it is challenging. Especially the Desperate Slope, the altitude rises from 3,600 meters to about 4,300 meters within one kilometer, which is a bit difficult. However, when you stand at the highest point of about 4,400 meters and overlook the surroundings, you will find that all these challenges are insignificant.
🧳Preparation before departure:
Before departure, please be sure to prepare the necessary equipment. Trekking poles and sunglasses are indispensable, and fleece jackets and hats can help you resist the cold in the mountains. Don't forget to bring a raincoat, because the weather on the mountain is changeable. If you have no experience in plateau hiking, it is recommended to bring an oxygen cylinder to cope with possible altitude sickness.
The entire route of this trip is covered by mobile signals (❌Telecom and Unicom users), but please keep communication with the outside world brief to avoid excessive power consumption.
📝Note tips:
1️⃣Don't forget to prepare some light and energy-replenishing food, such as Snickers, chocolate, and bread.
2️⃣As a civilized outdoor traveler, please respect nature, take away personal garbage, and protect the ecological balance of this plateau area.
3️⃣It is better to choose a professional guide equipped by the local tourist center, especially in autumn and winter, pay attention to the safety hazards that the mountain is closed and cannot be entered.
In the journey of exploring Abuji Lake, let every breath become an intimate exchange with nature.

Route 22: Hiking Abujicuo New Line
Hiking date: September 14, 2024 Hiking guide
Route: Navigate to the starting point of the hike at "Shangri-La City Washbasin Pass", and then follow the track (the last picture). Note: You can also find a local guide. There are many locals in Shangri-La who can guide you. We also found a guide at the time. They usually charge per person, mainly responsible for pick-up and drop-off to the hotel and guiding the way, which is more worry-free.
2 Food: About 2L of water and a meal
3 Equipment: bag, hiking shoes (waterproof), sun protection clothing and hat, stormtrooper clothing and pants, thermal underwear, raincoat, trekking pole, headlamp, oxygen cylinder (those who have not climbed high altitude should be prepared) Hiking details:
1 Location: Abujicuo, Shangri-La City, Diqing Prefecture, Yunnan Province 2 Highest altitude: 4400m
3 Climbing: The overall climb is about 800 meters, and the continuous climb is about 300 meters. The overall route is mainly flat.
4 Route: 28km round trip, the route needs to pass through the original forest, alpine meadows, streams, and muddy roads. In fact, it is walking on the dirt road to Abujicuo. The overall route is relatively easy to walk, without dangerous sections, but sometimes there will be motorcycles and off-road vehicles passing by on the road. There are also several campsites (pastures) on the route. If you can't walk, you can also take a car up or down at the campsite. It is even said that there will be people on the road asking you if you want to take a car, but you have to pay, so prepare cash in advance.

High-altitude Hiking Destination—Abu Jicuo
First of all, I am not a guide, nor do I recommend hiring one.
Outdoor activities come with risks, so be rational, make thorough plans, assess your physical fitness, and don't be swayed by those who say 'as long as you have legs, you can do it.'
Is Abu Jicuo worth visiting? I definitely say it is, but it's not suitable for beginners. It's a 20-kilometer high-altitude hike, so beginners should avoid it.
～
🏕️ Gear: Hiking shoes, must be non-slip, waterproof, and comfortable.
👚: A three-in-one jacket is the best. You can take it off when it's hot, but it gets noticeably cold when descending without the sun.
🎩 Hat: For sun protection and wind blocking. I didn't bring a hat and got a headache from the wind at the top 🤦. Lesson learned, it affected my descent speed.
🕶️ Sunglasses: They look cool hahaha.
🥯 Snacks: Chocolate, bread, mineral water, cola, electrolyte water, any food that can replenish energy. Our entire team ran out of water in the end. You can bring fewer snacks, but make sure to bring enough water.
～
Risks ⚠️
Don't go alone or without a guide. Friends, it's really not worth saving those few hundred bucks.
The area is vast, the mountains are high, and there are many slopes. It's not a regular park. There are bears and other wild animals in the mountains. Most of the 20-kilometer route has no signal, and there are many forks along the way. If you get lost or injured, it's hard to get timely rescue.
It took us 8 hours to complete the hike, and we finished at 7:40 PM. High-altitude hiking is very exhausting, and the downhill path made our legs weak by the end.
Good teammates and guides are crucial. Listen to your guide and communicate any issues promptly.
That's all for now. Feel free to ask any questions, and I'll reply when I see them.

Trekking in Abujecho, Shangri-La, Yunnan Province, China
There are two main trekking routes in Abujecho. There is a long route of 30km and a short route of 10km. The short route can only be accessed through a government-approved travel agency, and the fee is 260 yuan per person. They provide a vehicle, guide, entrance ticket, and trekking poles. You can see the best scenery in all of Shangri-La. The Abujecho Lake is located at an altitude of 4300m, so you need to be acclimated to the high altitude and walk slowly. The 30km long route can be accessed through commercial guides, but it is not recommended as the trekking distance for a day is too long.

🌴🌴Tips
🔸There is a lot of rain during the summer vacation, so it's best to bring a raincoat
🔸The altitude is relatively high, about more than 4,000 meters, so be sure to bring some energy-supplementing food like glucose solution
🔸If you have never been to the plateau, don't try it for the first time, but Shangri-La has a lot of vegetation, so it's not that lacking in oxygen

Who would go to such a remote place as Abuji
Hahaha, just a sensational title. My adventure to Abuji before its commercial development, following a guide, was the highlight of my 17-day trip to Yunnan.
I took the traditional old route. In the morning, the guide picked us up from the ancient town of Dukezong in Shangri-La. After a one and a half hour drive and a turn into a small path, we went through a very bumpy road to reach the starting point. The whole journey was about 10 kilometers with an ascent of around 600m, which we completed there and back in one day.
This route is not too difficult, with only the 'Despair Slope' part being a bit breathless. Light packing is sufficient for July and August. I wore just trousers and a hardshell jacket, which was perfect. I carried my usual cross-body bag, used the walking stick provided by the guide, brought two bottles of water and lunch, and considering the unpredictable weather, I also brought shoe covers and a raincoat.
The guide said that 'Abuji' in Abuji Tso means a magical place, and 'Tso' means lake. Yelling at the sacred lake from the mountain pass will make it rain (although it actually didn't hhh)
During the few hours of complete disconnection in the mountains, on my way to the sacred lake, I saw herds of cattle and sheep, streams and waterfalls, misty mountains, forest cabins, Mani stone piles, and prayer flags fluttering... The moment Abuji Tso revealed itself in full view, I felt that all the hard trekking was worth it. Only by seeing it with your own eyes can you understand.

Abuji Cho | Embark on a trek at an altitude of 4000 meters
💫 Forests, grasslands, streams, lakes, snow-capped mountains, and peculiar rocks, Abuji Cho fulfills all my fantasies about high-altitude trekking!!!
📍Located in Shangri-La, Diqing, Yunnan, Little Zhongdian, Abuji Cho
🌍 The entire trekking route is about 11 kilometers, with an altitude rise from 3560 meters to 4170 meters, climbing about 600 meters. Although it is considered a beginner-level route, high-altitude trekking still requires one to act according to their abilities
The trekking route is roughly divided into 4 stages👣
1⃣️ Start from the parking position towards the base camp, the whole journey is about 1km, the path is gentle, allowing you to slowly adapt to the rhythm of plateau trekking
2⃣️ From the base camp, climb steeply into the 'slope of despair', the whole journey is about 1km, if you feel unwell, you need to retreat in time
3⃣️ After the 'slope of despair', it becomes gentle for about 1km until reaching the large platform, where, if the view is clear, you can also see the sacred mountain of Abuji Cho⛰️
4⃣️ Depart from the large platform and trek a little over 1km to reach the lake area, this section has a gentle slope with a cobblestone beach, and there are many loose stones
🙋 It is necessary to have a local guide to visit Abuji Cho, and it is recommended to join a group

One of the few remaining secret paradises on earth is about to be developed into a tourist area
Here,
is the earthly paradise of Shangri-La,
Abuji Cho.
At an altitude of 4200 meters
A 12-kilometer round-trip hike
A 1000-meter plateau climb
During the 8 hours disconnected from the world,
fully immerse yourself in the grasslands, mountains, and lakes.
Hiking suggestions:
Contact a local guide in advance, as you can't enter without one;
Typically, hotel pick-up is around 07:30;
The drive is quite bumpy, arriving at the starting point of Abuji Cho around 09:00;
Start ascending at 09:30, and return to the starting point by 15:00.
When hiking at high altitudes, be sure to know your limits. Although Abuji Cho is covered with greenery and has sufficient oxygen, you must walk slowly. Do not jog or walk too fast, as it can easily cause dizziness!
Abuji Cho will soon be developed into a tourist area. With the approach of spring, why not take the opportunity to plan your trip?
Perhaps the next time you visit, you will see cable cars overhead and a continuous stream of tourists...

Be sure to bookmark this, as Shangri-La currently has niche scenic spots that are not commercialized
Abuji CuO is located in Xiaozhongdian Town, Shangri-La City, and is a niche spot very suitable for hiking that has not yet been developed (currently under development). The route will pass through forests, pastures, and Ajia Gang, and the scenery along the way is stunningly beautiful.
Abuji CuO is a small lake hidden at an altitude of 4200 meters, surrounded by snow-capped mountains on three sides, and is filled with a variety of alpine rhododendrons and many high mountain plants. It is known as 'the purest place', deeply nestled among the lotus petal-shaped mountains, and the beauty here is like Alice in Wonderland.
Here's a guide for everyone.
Leave the old town at 8:00 in the morning. Arrive at the starting point of the hike around 9:30.
The first stage is a warm-up phase to the supply point at the foot of the mountain
The second stage is the 'Despair Slope', a continuous uphill climb to a rest area under a big tree (the hardest part of climbing Abuji CuO is now over)
The third stage is a gentle road, which is a slight uphill climb. Along the way, you will see Ajia Gang, and those with megalophobia need to be careful. It ends at a platform (which is the best photo check-in spot)
The fourth stage involves wading. Starting from the platform, you will pass through a small forest to reach the wading path, (the wading section is also called 'Little Despair Slope'). After crossing the Red Water section, you will reach a small lake, and then climb about 500 meters through the rocks to reach the lakeside (which is the end of the Abuji CuO hike). Take photos and check in, then return the same way.

It was 8 hours of being disconnected from the world
Abuji Cho in Shangri-La is a place of purity, and also the closest hiking spot to Shangri-La.
There are generally two routes, one for a round trip and one for a through hike.
🈲🈲🈲🈲 The starting point for the round trip is the Jiye Campsite (commonly known as the old route) which has particularly bad road conditions, so bumpy that you could be shaken to the sky on the ride~ The round trip is 8km, and although the route is short, it's almost entirely uphill (with an elevation gain of only 600 meters), and there's not much scenery to enjoy along the way!
If you want to see Abuji Cho from a bird's eye view, you must go up the slope of despair above the lake, which is especially not recommended! Definitely do not take this route with a guide! (The total time for the route is 3 hours uphill and 1 hour downhill)
The other route is the through hike, starting from Shangri-La, navigate to the Washbasin Pass (a smooth run all the way, reaching in half an hour), and the trailhead is just behind the parking lot. Although this route is 18.5km in total, the elevation gain is only 700m, and the whole way is full of fun picking mushrooms, with at least 5 times more scenery than the round trip route! And the first view of Abuji Cho is from a bird's eye view, without having to climb the slope of despair, but rather descending it.
We set off on 9.20 and arrived at Abuji Cho to camp by 15:30. It only took one hour to descend the mountain the next day.
Four people chartered a car (500 yuan, 125 yuan per person), with the driver picking us up at our doorstep, and waiting for us at the exit in advance in the afternoon, service 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🏻
bitterer_brianna
I witnessed a snowy movie in Shangri-La
📍Navigate to Deji Temple
After arriving, there will be signs for Abujicuo, don't go to the temple, follow the signs and drive forward, you will see the checkpoint, local cars can enter by registering ID and license plate❗️(But there are also cars from other places inside, so it's not certain whether all cars can enter) Then keep going along the road, SUV is no pressure, walk down to the left of the road at the parking point! We didn't find a guide, but the road is very clear, just follow it, don't worry about getting lost, you will meet people along the way, you can ask~
⛰️The whole hiking route is about 11 kilometers in total, we started from the hiking point at about 11:30, returned to the parking point at about 5:30 in the afternoon, it took 7 hours, because we spent a lot of time taking pictures.
⛰️The hiking route has 4 stages
1⃣️Parking point👉First rest point
The journey is flat, you can walk leisurely, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery all the way, there are places to sell things at the rest point, the huge mountain is right in front of you, shocking! Grassland, cattle and sheep, sea of flowers, very photogenic
2⃣️ Despair slope👉Second rest point
Despair slope, novice Xiaobai really desperate, because all the way up, you will quickly feel the heartbeat speed up, I can even hear the heartbeat thumping sound, will be very panting, tired must rest, eat something drink some water rest After that, it's much better.
3⃣️Third rest point👉Waterfall
When you reach the third rest point, you will find that the view is wide open, many people rest here, you can eat here to replenish your strength, don't forget to take pictures, it's really great❗️You will find that the mountain is closer to you.
🌟PS: Although there is a garbage pit here, I still hope everyone can collect their own garbage and bring it down the mountain. Seeing a large pile of garbage in such a beautiful scenery, it's uncomfortable
From the rest point, you will soon see the waterfall, there is another climb in this section, everyone must maintain their own rhythm, I ran and jumped all the way, didn't climb two steps, and started to speed up the heartbeat, don't learn from me, although I didn't have high anti, but It still consumes a lot of physical strength.
4⃣️Waterfall👉Lake
After climbing the waterfall, there will be a section of gravel mountain, which is relatively flat. Seeing the prayer flags in the distance, Abujicuo is there! The weather changes suddenly in this section, it starts to rain, the fog is filled, the temperature drops, and even the hands are a bit cold, but when you climb to the prayer flag point, the emerald-like Abujicuo appears in front of you, you will find that all the fatigue is worth it!
When going down the mountain, the knees, thighs, and toes will hurt, so don't wear too tight shoes, remember to stretch after the end. The weather is unpredictable, bring a storm jacket.
I gave my first hike to Abujicuo, novice friendly❗️Respect❗️There will be a bit of a feeling of unfinished after going down the mountain, some people say that there are only zero times and countless times for hiking, then look forward to the next time!

Seize the tail end of winter and embark on a trek to the stunning secret realm of Shangri-La, Abujicao
Starting from the Washbasin Pass, a 30-kilometer journey will take you to the secret realm of Abujicao. The snow is heavy on the trail today, which will affect the hiking time. The path becomes difficult to navigate starting from the first pasture, and it's better to set out in the morning. In the afternoon, the melted snow makes the road muddy, so it's advisable to prepare shoe covers. There is basically no signal, and the entire journey takes about 11 hours, mainly due to the challenging terrain.

w, the top 50 classic hiking trails worth visiting in 2024, each one is stunningly beautiful
The entrance to heaven, Abujicho, is not afraid of high mountains and long roads. The mountains and rivers have given back the most amazing scenery. The eight hours of disconnection from the world, for me, the process is more important than the result. If the heart has something to look forward to, why fear the long road ahead. So don't listen to the whispers of the world, go and see the scenery you like. What is the scenery on the road, maybe it's never important, but the scenery on the top of the mountain is definitely worth it. Let's all go and find our happy selves.

Abuji Cho - The Secret Realm of the Human World
I finally got to see Abuji, a place planned to depart at the end of August, which translates in Tibetan as a magical place, located deep in the mountains of Xiaozhongdian Town, Shangri-La City, Diqing Prefecture, Yunnan Province.
Before departure, I was always worried about the weather, really wanted to see the scene of the sun shining completely over the surface of Abuji Cho Lake. Fortunately, the weather was beautiful, the clouds were foggy when I started climbing, and the fog was lingering, as if I was in a different world. Stepping on the soft grassland and gradually climbing, the sun also began to show its face, I saw a completely different scenery: the top of the snow mountain where no grass grows like the gray rocks and gravel in 'The Lord of the Rings' with a sense of fantasy, the fog rising from the dense forest, and the warm and comfortable endless alpine grassland.
Including the guide, there were four people in the team, and I was the only girl. I joked along the way that I was a VIP, but I really benefited from the care of the guide and teammates on the road. Along the way, we laughed and talked, played music with speakers, and the guide even found wild berries under the tree for us! My knees are not good on a daily basis, and the guide always reminds me to slow down when I go downhill, and will kindly give me his knee pads. Fortunately, I finished the whole 18km (I can't justify the guide brother who helped me all the way, took pictures and persuaded me to eat) After finally going down the mountain, I looked back at the road I had come, and even I felt a bit incredible, so some roads you must walk by yourself to understand the real meaning!

Abuji Cu's momentum is too strong|Per capita hundred yuan without guide version of the strategy
|Per capita hundred yuan without guide version of the strategy. Since we can't go to Antarctica for the time being, let's take a look at Abuji Cu first.
When making the strategy, I found that there are many routes in Abuji Cu, new lines, old lines back and forth, and circular lines. The most people should walk the old line back and forth. If you don't want to be too tired, you can choose this one, but the scenery is greatly discounted.
This time we walked the new through the old 18km+, I unilaterally declared that this is the most worthwhile route! The landscape is rich in layers, passing through the original jungle, plateau meadows, streams and waterfalls, alpine lakes, and you can see the layers of mountains when you look back. When you get to the pass, you can overlook the whole lake, and then continue to look at the blue lake from another angle.
The whole route is clear and no guide is needed, the scenery is excellent and you can take pictures at will.
7:30am The ancient city carpooling departure (400/round trip)
8:30am Arrive at the starting point washbasin pass
6:30pm Arrive at the end of Xiaozhongdian Town, the chartered driver will wait here. There is a 10km bad road under construction when you go out of the mountain, you need to drive an off-road vehicle
The first half of the journey is a small hill, a more gentle route, but the uphill is still quite tired, after all, it is high altitude, if you feel breathless, stop and rest to adjust. The second half is the return journey of the old line, all downhill, not tired but waste knee.
Tips:
The wind on the top of the mountain is very freezing, you can bring a woolen hat to keep warm
Physical consumption is very large, bring more quick energy replenishment food
Remember to bring knee pads for the long downhill road in the second half, protect the meniscus everyone has a responsibility
If there are novices, leave more time, try to get down the mountain before dark, I heard that there may be slight high anti + wind blowing headache in the mountains, you can prepare ibuprofen

It's not that Italy can't afford it, but Abujicuo is more cost-effective
Shangri-La's last secret
Dolomiti ridge replacement
Coordinates: Geological wonder landscape layer at the foot of Tianbao Snow Mountain
Rich in variety
The lakes under the ridge change multiple colors within a day
Primitive forest abandoned pasture ➡️ Pass camping ➡️ Alps
Is there a replacement?
Physical fitness and transportation are all entry-level
Depart from Shangri-La at 7 am, you can return in one day, and the probability of retreating at night is very small
📸Photography Strategy
If you want to shoot excellent sunsets and starry skies, you need to camp for two or more days
I camped at the commanding heights of the pass and the 2nd abandoned pasture for two days
The afterglow of the sunset shines into the lake from the gap of the old line pass, and the saturation and details of the mountain explode
The hiking strategy at the time was the new line crossing the old line about 19km. If you want to shoot the full line landscape, I strongly recommend this line. The old line will be closed in autumn and winter, and the full line is clear
Follow the track and you will not get lost. There are commercial teams going back and forth every day, and you can ask for directions at any time
The pass can overlook the panoramic view of Abujicuo
The wind is very strong, so strong that the heavy tripod will shake with the heavy bag, and it will continue from noon to the next morning
Long exposure of the starry sky is basically impossible to operate, and the time-lapse of sunset and sunrise can barely be shot
The abandoned 1-4 pastures are also excellent locations for shooting blue tones and grand scenes
The Tianbao Snow Mountain Group in the distance stands at various angles
Tips：
Abujicuo has started to build roads. It is expected to become a scenic spot in two or three years. Now the new line has local motorcycles and off-road vehicles to pick up customers. The safety is generally recommended to walk. There are many shooting points along the way. It's a pity to miss the stop.

Annual inventory of the most recommended attractions for everyone | Abujico
| Abujico.🏡City: Yunnan
📍Location: Deqin Shangri-La City Abujico
✨Features: Small and popular hiking route, less people and beautiful scenery!
🐾Hiking Guide (June): This time we took Abu to hike through Abujico, the itinerary was planned for three days and two nights, a total of 42 kilometers, a closed route.
1️⃣Day1 12km, 📍Washbasin Pass Parking Lot-Sea Ranch:
The sea on the road is basically waterless, there are two streams along the way, there is a sea with water at the sea ranch, which is relatively small, bring a filter, the water source has more impurities.
2️⃣Day2 12km Sea Ranch-3rd Camp:
Over 5 passes, the average altitude is close to 4400, the scenery is the best, passing through Abujico, it is also the hardest day of hiking, it is very tired to cross the pass, and it has been hiking until 12 o'clock in the evening to reach the camp.
3️⃣Day3 18km 3rd Camp-Washbasin Pass:
There is almost no water source in the 3rd camp, and it took half an hour to get two bottles of water at the source, which must be filtered by a filter. Walk 2 kilometers to the 4th camp, where there is a water source, to the lake, there is a ranch wooden house, the scenery is very beautiful, the 4th camp to the east ring line is basically a mechanized road, and then walk 5 kilometers along the east ring line back to the washbasin pass. Off-road vehicles can drive to the 4th camp, and the road conditions are very bad.

✨Note reminder:
From the perspective of scenery and route difficulty, this time is a good experience, it's a pity that there is no water in the sea this season, but the scenery along the way is still very beautiful!

Abuji hiking
The driver is playing Tibetan folk songs all the way, happily arriving at the small and popular secret place, Abuji in Xiaozhongdian, Shangri-La, which is only open for seven months each year and is a holy land for hikers. It is surrounded by snow-capped mountains, such as Meili, Haba, Daocheng's three sacred mountains, Tianbao Snow Mountain, grasslands, primitive forests, large and small waterfalls, meteorite crater groups. It takes about 9 hours to hike at an altitude of 4300 meters (no cable car). Unfortunately, there is no snow in this season. This place is pure and stunning, a holy land close to the 'god'...
