[2025 Daocheng Attraction] Travel Guide for Five-color Sea (Updated Apr)

Like the local devout Tibetans, walking to the mountains is the best way to experience the scenery of Aden. However, due to the high altitude of the Aden Reserve, it took me more than seven hours to walk a full circle or I needed considerable physical strength. When you see such a beautiful landscape of the Five Seas, all the hard work is worth it. The five-color sea is located above the milk sea, between Xiannai and Yang Maiyong. Named for producing five different colors under the sun. Five seas at an altitude of 4,500 meters. After a steep slope on the right side of the milk sea, the lake is round and the lake is clear. Under the sunlight, it reflects the multicolored light. The Shenhu Lake in the hearts of locals is said to be able to "reverse history and predict the future." The Buddhist scriptures praised the lake, saying it was in the same name as the sheep of Tibet.

Keep this Daocheng Yading guide handy to ensure you can eat well and keep your wallet happy during your journey to "heaven for the eyes, hell for the body"! (Bonus: oxygen-deprived but humor-filled ramblings included~) --- ### **【Attraction Recommendations—Official Descriptions vs. Real Experiences】** 1. **Milk Lake** - Official version: "A sapphire dropped by God, a secret paradise surrounded by snow mountains" - Real version: "A 'blue teardrop' at 4,600m elevation, but you'll shed tears climbing up—don't ask, just expect to take five steps then gasp for ten seconds, but totally worth it when you see it! Remember to bring oxygen bottles; don't try to be tough with your body" 2. **Five-Color Lake** - Official version: "A sacred lake that reflects five different colors under the sunlight" - Real version: "Whether you see all five colors depends entirely on weather and mysticism, but the marmots by the lake are Oscar-worthy performers who will pose for your snacks!" 3. **Chonggu Monastery** - Official version: "A sacred Tibetan Buddhist site where prayer flags and snow mountains shine together" - Real version: "A temporary charging station for oxygen-deprived visitors; remember to look up while resting—the golden temple roof and Mount Chenrezig in one frame will destroy your phone storage!" --- ### **【Budget Accommodation Guide—Poor but Persevering】** - **Hostel Option**: "Daocheng International Youth Hostel" (50-80 yuan/bed), Keywords: lots of carpooling info, late-night Werewolf games, owner draws hand-drawn maps for you. - **Zen-style Guesthouses**: "Yading Village Tibetan Guesthouse" (150-300 yuan/room), wooden houses creak but the stoves are super warm, owner might offer you a bowl of butter tea with advice: "Don't push yourself too hard climbing tomorrow!" (*Friendly reminder: Prices double during peak season; book rooms "fast, accurate, and decisive," otherwise you'll be counting stars while sleeping in your car* ✨) --- ### **【Foodie Radar—Exclusively for Highland Food Enthusiasts】** 1. **Yak Meat Hot Pot** - Recommended restaurant: "Daocheng Mama Tibetan Restaurant" - Must-order: Yak meat slices (so thick you'll question reality), highland barley pancakes (perfect with yogurt) - Dad joke: "Yaks run fast in life and taste amazing after death—that's the plateau's law of energy conservation" 2. **Butter Tea + Tsampa** - Soul-eating method: One hand kneading tsampa, one hand taking photos for social media with caption: "Tibetan punk wellness, carbs and fat explosion!" - Warning: Proceed with caution if you're not used to salty milk tea, but it works better for altitude sickness than rhodiola rosea 3. **Roadside Surprises** - Baked potatoes (highland potatoes sweeter than first love), yak yogurt (sour enough to make you grimace but add sugar and it becomes Michelin-worthy) --- ### **【Nearby Attractions—Yading Bonus Area】** - **Daocheng White Pagoda**: Prayer wheels are free, photos are free, but suddenly not gasping for breath after three turns—priceless. - **Haizi Mountain**: "Alien landscape" where rocks hold meetings, perfect for filming "The Wandering Earth 3" spin-off. - **Hot Spring Bonus**: Rubquka Hot Springs (30 yuan/person), soak until wrinkled after hiking, even your soul will bubble! --- ### **【Hiking Tips—Life-saving and Funny】** 1. Oxygen bottles are "life-extending perfume"—don't be stingy using them, but don't get oxygen-drunk either. 2. Apply sunscreen as thick as "wall putty," otherwise even face masks won't recognize you when you return. 3. Ask permission before photographing Tibetans; they might be better at making peace signs than you. 4. Don't panic if the weather suddenly changes—Yading's rain is like an internet celebrity: comes quickly, leaves quickly. --- Finally, here's one truth about Yading: "Body in hell? No worries! Your social media has already debuted in heaven's center stage!" (Remember to bring power banks, as you'll need your phone for both beautiful scenery and complaints...)

Every scene is breathtakingly beautiful, as if you have stumbled into a fairyland, and your soul is cleansed🥰. Daocheng Yading in spring🌸 is like a love letter💌 written by God to the world. From April to June, the snowmelt awakens the entire valley, wildflowers bloom everywhere on the plateau🌼, glaciers and meadows snuggle up to each other, and prayer flags flutter in the wind with the sound of chanting. It is indeed a must-visit "last pure land on the blue planet". And Daocheng Yading in summer is also super beautiful, with green grasslands, gurgling streams🌊, clear lakes, and towering snow-capped mountains. The scenery is simply amazing! 🗺Attraction Introduction: 📍Daocheng Yading is located in Yading Village, Shangri-La Town, Daocheng County, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province. The altitude here is around 3,000-4,700 meters😮. It's easy to get altitude sickness when you first arrive, so be sure to prepare in advance. ✨Classic attractions include: - Chenresig🙏: The northern peak of the three sacred mountains of Yading. It is particularly majestic and spectacular, with snow on its summit year-round, like a sacred temple. It's a great place for atmospheric photos📸. - Jampayang🧐: The southern peak. The sharp peak is like a sharp blade piercing the sky, appearing particularly holy against the blue sky. - Milk Lake🥛: An ancient glacial lake surrounded by snow-capped mountains. The lake water is crystal clear and blue, with a milky white ring around the lake, as beautiful as a fairy tale scene. - Five-Color Lake🌈: Due to the refraction of sunlight, the lake water presents five different colors, dreamy and magical. - Pearl Lake💎: A lake formed by the melting snow of Chenresig. The lake water is crystal clear and incredibly beautiful. 🚗Transportation: There are several ways to get there👇 ✈Airplane: Many places don't have direct flights, so you need to transfer. The airport's altitude is 4,411 meters, and you're likely to experience altitude sickness when you arrive (👋Not recommended). 🚗Self-driving: The entire journey from Chengdu to Daocheng is 800 km, taking about 15 hours to drive directly. It's difficult to appreciate the beautiful scenery along the way, and it's also very tiring (👋Not recommended). 🚐Joining a tour: I recommend joining a small, no-shopping tour group. They take care of the photos, driving, and everything! It's really convenient (👍Recommended). 🗺Itinerary: Here's a 5-day relaxed itinerary suitable for working people😎 📅D0｜Evening arrival in Chengdu ▪️Fly directly to Chengdu after work and check into a hotel within the Third Ring Road. You can still go out for a delicious hot pot in the evening, for only 50 RMB per person, and enjoy all kinds of snacks!🍲 📅D1｜Chengdu → Highway 434 → Red Sea → Yuzixi ▪️Drive🚗 along the scenic snow mountain road and enjoy the fresh air. ▪️The lake💦 under Gongga Mountain🏔 is crystal clear✨️. ▪️At sunset🌄 in Yuzixi, you can also encounter the beautiful sight of the sun illuminating the golden mountain. 📅D2｜Eighteen Bends of Heaven → Kazila Mountain → Litang ▪️Continuous Z-shaped bends wind up the mountain like a giant dragon, overlooking the earth like fingerprints👀. ▪️Prayer flags flutter on Kazila Mountain, and on clear days, you can see the Gongga Snow Peak in the distance. 📅D3｜One-day trip to Daocheng Yading ▪️Head to the scenic area at 7:00! Go for a light hike🚶‍♀️ to Chonggu Temple - Luorong Cattle Farm - Pearl Lake, avoiding the crowds on the long route, and you can even bring a self-heating pot for a picnic on the mountaintop. 📅D4｜Tagong Grassland → Moishi Park ▪️Take some dark, otherworldly photos in Moishi Park. The outfits are super cool🆒. ▪️Take some photos in Tibetan clothing at Tagong Grassland, a super memorable experience📷. 📅D5｜Four Girls Mountain Shuangqiao Valley → Cat's Nose Ridge → Chengdu ▪️Shuangqiao Valley is like the Switzerland🇨🇭 of western Sichuan, with snow-capped mountains, lakes, meadows, and forests. ▪️View the majestic Yaomei Peak from Cat's Nose Ridge. 🍱Food Recommendations: When you get there, you must try Tibetan butter tea🥛, which is salty, fragrant, and rich, very unique; there's also barley cakes, crispy and delicious; and don't miss the hand-grabbed mutton, it's so satisfying to eat meat in big bites! Of course, there are also various special Tibetan yogurts, rich and creamy, add a little honey, and it's amazing😋. 💰Expenses: If you join a small group tour, it's only about 1K+ RMB per person! The tour covers transportation, accommodation, and travel photography, which is really cost-effective, saving you half the cost compared to traveling independently🅱. If you go on your own, the airfare and accommodation alone can be quite expensive, plus meals, entrance fees, and so on, it can easily cost 5K RMB per person. 📌Other tips: 1️⃣ Dealing with altitude sickness: Stop exercising in advance, and don't wash your hair or take a shower when you first arrive! Otherwise, it can easily worsen altitude sickness😣. 2️⃣ Pack light: A 26-inch carry-on suitcase + backpack is enough. Otherwise, carrying too much luggage is really cumbersome. 3️⃣ Avoiding tour scams: Be sure to check for hidden costs, and the terms of the contract should be clear, so you don't get scammed without knowing it. 4️⃣ Outfit formula: Hiking jacket + cowboy hat, both stylish and windproof, essential for taking photos and posing on the plateau🧢. 5️⃣ Photography guide: ✔️Choose cool-toned outfits for Moishi Park to create dark, dramatic photos. ✔️The west gate of Litang has good lighting in the afternoon for photography, bringing your own reflector is even better. ✔️The Yading short route has fewer people and softer light in the morning, perfect for taking photos with Chenresig. 6️⃣ Open flames are strictly prohibited in the scenic area. Protect the environment and do not litter. 7️⃣ Respect local religious beliefs and customs. Turn prayer wheels clockwise🙏.

Inagi Aden, a hidden region in eastern Tibet, China Of the two well-maintained hiking trails, the 10km one-way trail to Niu Nai Hai at 4,500m above sea level and Wushuhai at 4,600m is also popular.

After watching the movie "Passing by My World", I had a strong feeling that made me want to go to Daocheng Yading. After I went there, I found that the scenery was as beautiful as in the movie🥳 Daocheng Yading is one of the must-visit places this summer‼ ️ I can confidently say that this place will be extremely beautiful in July and August. Especially this year, many young people are no longer bound by life and work. Put down what you are doing and get in touch with nature🍃 Just in time for early summer, flowers are blooming in Aden, just like walking into a comic book🖼 The photos taken are all live photos taken just two days ago when I returned from Daocheng Yading. If you want to take a trip to the western Sichuan loop and go to the "summer mountains and fields" with your lover and relatives, you must go here. First, the feelings of most people 🔴I will never come to Daocheng again: The average altitude of Daocheng Yading is about 3800-4300. It is really tiring to hike for a long time. The scenery can actually be seen in various places in western Sichuan. 🟢It's worth coming to Daocheng: I think the summer in Daocheng Yading is particularly beautiful, with green grasslands, streams, lakes, and snow-capped mountains. The scenery is really amazing. ✅Summary: You must visit Daocheng at least once! Second, transportation -There are currently 3 types of transportation- ✈️Planing: Many places cannot be directly flown, and you need to transfer to get there. The altitude is 4411 meters, and you will definitely get altitude sickness when you arrive (👋Not recommended) 🚗Self-driving: Chengdu-Daocheng is 800 kilometers long and takes about 15 hours to drive directly. (The beautiful scenery along the way is almost impossible to appreciate and it is tiring, 👋 not recommended) 🚐Group tour: It is recommended to join a small group for pure play, which will include taking photos, driving, and taking care of you! ! Really convenient (👍 recommended) Third, 📝Daocheng Yading Guide ✅The round trip hike is 8 kilometers long. Don't underestimate it. It's tiring to walk at high altitude. Don't try to be brave. ✅Don't have too high expectations, the scenery can be seen along the way, and it is slightly better in summer~ ✅Tickets 🎫 + sightseeing bus are expensive, a must-go for those who like mountains + canyons + forests ✅Be sure to take the first bus in the morning🚌, don’t sleep in, otherwise you won’t have enough time to play ✅There are places to eat at Luorong Niuchang Service Area, so you don’t need to bring too many snacks ✅There are many monkeys and squirrels 🐿️ along the way, don't touch them, listen to the advice ✅To be honest, UV rays are really strong, so apply as much sunscreen as possible. ✅The wind is strong above the Milk Sea and the Five-Colored Sea, and the weather is changeable, so take good care of yourself🥰 Fourth, 💌Tips: Generally, when departing from Chengdu, many friends will land at 🛬Tianfu Airport the night before, but it is very far from Chunxi Road. If you land before ⌚️21:00, you can directly take the subway line 10, which is about 5 yuan. It costs 100 yuan to take a taxi to the city center, 😰It is not necessary

Sichuan's own Switzerland, Aden is a true summer secret that you will remember for a lifetime after visiting it once. Whoever goes there knows it!! In late June, the alpine meadows are newly grown and furry while still in bloom The perfect season in the heart, with snow-capped mountains and glaciers, the temperature is just right, and the oxygen content is rising The route I chose at that time was the King Kong Challenge Line to the innermost Milk Sea and Five Color Sea (P10, 11), which is about seven or eight kilometers round trip, with a big climb on the mountain road. The scenery along this route is very, very beautiful, refreshing, but the top is not so amazing. Friends who can't climb can not insist on reaching the top of the mountain, safety first! If you have enough time, you can spend two days in the scenic area, one day for the short route and one day for the long route. It is very convenient to stay in Shangri-La Town, and there are even Fuqiao massages (there are many people queuing up, so make an appointment early) The long route is basically above 4,000 meters above sea level. Different people have different physical conditions. I didn't breathe a breath of oxygen after walking back and forth, but I also saw someone who was carried down the mountain due to altitude sickness. So it is recommended that each person prepare 2-3 bottles of portable oxygen. It is light to carry but can save lives at critical moments!! Oxygen is sold in the scenic area, which is slightly expensive. If you drive yourself, you can buy it online before departure. It is very cheap. There are also pharmacies in the town. It is best to buy some glucose oral solution and chocolate.

🌿 Hey, dear friends! Today I am going to take you into a legendary place—Daocheng Yading, a place known as 'the last pure land on the blue planet'. 🏔️ The three sacred mountains of Daocheng Yading—Yangmaiyong, Xianuoduoji, and Xiannairi—are simply masterpieces of nature. They rise high into the clouds, magnificent and imposing, as if showing off the power and charm of nature to the world. Nestled among these sacred mountains are verdant grasslands, azure lakes, and meandering rivers, forming a breathtakingly beautiful picture. 🌊 I still remember the first time I saw Milk Lake, the stunning feeling is still vivid in my memory. The lake is crystal clear to the bottom, like a huge mirror reflecting the surrounding snow mountains and blue sky with white clouds. Sitting by the lake, listening to the babbling sound of water, I felt the tranquility and harmony of nature, as if the whole world had become quiet. 🚶‍♂️ Besides enjoying the beautiful scenery, there are many outdoor activities to participate in Daocheng Yading. I tried trekking, starting from Zhaguanbeng Village, passing Milk Lake and Five-Color Sea, all the way to Luorong Pasture. The scenery along the way was so beautiful that I couldn't help but stop and take out my camera to capture these wonderful moments. And at Luorong Pasture, I also met a group of lovely yaks, they were gently eating grass, and occasionally looked up at me, as if saying: 'Hello, stranger, this is our home.' 🌌 The night in Daocheng Yading is breathtakingly beautiful. When night falls, the entire valley is covered with a starry sky, as if you are in a vast sea of stars. Lying on the grass, looking up at the starry sky, I felt the vastness and mystery of nature, and my heart was filled with endless reverie. 💖 In summary, Daocheng Yading is a place that makes people linger and forget to return. Its beauty, its tranquility, its mystery, all made me fall deeply in love with this place. If I have the chance, I will definitely return here to continue exploring its beauty and secrets.

The Five-Colored Lake is located between Xiannairi and Yangmaiyong, at an altitude of 4,700 meters. The lake is round in shape and covers an area of ​​0.7 hectares. The Tibetan name of the Five-Colored Lake is "Tenzengcuo" It is also known as Dengchongcuo and Sarihai, both of which mean auspicious sea. The lake water is blue and clear, and the refraction of light produces five different colors, hence the name. Various plants grow at the bottom of the Five-Colored Sea, which present irregular reticular patterns under the refraction of sunlight, and the plants also appear in different colors due to the refraction of water. The Five-Colored Lake is a famous holy lake in Tibet. The Buddhist scriptures praise the "Five-Colored Lake" as being as famous as the Tibetan plateau holy lake "Yangzhuo Yongcuo". In the minds of local people, it is a sacred lake that is said to be able to "reenact history and predict the future". After a long journey, we arrived at the Milk Lake, and the Five-Colored Lake is just to the upper left of the Milk Lake. As long as you get through that difficult section to reach the Milk Sea🗻 Walk up for another 10-20 minutes (depending on your physical condition) and you will reach the Five-Colored Lake.
