Geography and Climate ·ENVIRONMENT The county has a complex and diverse terrain. The Zheduoshan of the Daxueshan Range divides the county into two parts, east and west, forming strong differences in landforms, climate, production methods, and cultural customs. The eastern part is high mountains and valleys, belonging to the subtropical climate, where the peach blossoms and willows are green, the products are rich, and it is known as 'Kangba Jiangnan'; the western part is a mountainous terrain, belonging to the plateau continental climate, where cattle and sheep are everywhere, and temples are everywhere. It is a typical representative of Tibetan customs. The highest point in the county is 7556 meters (the main peak of 'Tianfu First Peak' Gongga Mountain), the lowest point is 1390 meters (Dadu River), and the county committee and county government are located in Lucheng Town with an altitude of 2560 meters. Due to the complex and diverse terrain and climate, Kangding has the saying 'one mountain has four seasons, ten miles have different days'. History ·HISTORY Kangding was originally a Qiang land, the Shu Han of the Three Kingdoms was called 'Dajianlu', the Tang and Song dynasties belonged to Tubo, the Yuan and Ming dynasties set up Xuanfu Division, the Qing established Kangding Prefecture, and it was known for its 'Tibetan Guard Avenue' and 'Sichuan-Tibet Chong'.

It is the political, economic, cultural, commercial, information center and transportation hub of the whole state. A 'Kangding Love Song' is famous all over the world. Since the 1950s, the front and north lines of the Sichuan-Tibet Highway have been successively opened. From Kangding, you can go to the seventeen counties in Sichuan except Luding and Tibet by going out of the south gate and folding the mountain. In the past, the small roads into Kangba from the south and north gates were abandoned due to the lack of highways and few pedestrians. In this way, the outside of the pass became a synonym for the war zone west of Zheduo Mountain, and the east of Zheduo Mountain was called the inside of the pass. Over time, it has become a habit. Ethnicity ·NATION Kangding is a multi-ethnic settlement, including Tibetans, Han, Hui, Yi, Qiang, Miao, Hui, Mongols, Tujia, Lisu, Manchu, Yao, Dong, Naxi, Buyi, Bai, Zhuang, Dai and other ethnic groups. Among them, Tibetans and Han account for the largest proportion. When mainland tourists go to Kangding for tourism, they should respect the local customs, especially when they come into contact with Tibetan friends, they should pay attention to the following taboos: when toasting, the guest must first dip a little wine with the ring finger and flick it into the air three times in a row, as a sacrifice to heaven, earth and ancestors, then take a light sip, the host will fill it up in time, drink another sip and fill it up, drink three sips in a row, and when it is filled up for the fourth time, it must be drunk. When drinking butter tea, the host pours the tea, and the guest has to wait for the host to hold it in both hands before he can take it and drink it. When you meet temples, Mani piles, pagodas and other religious facilities on the road, you must go around from left to right. Don't touch other people's heads with your hands.
