The reason why the distance is longing,
Because it has too many unknown things.
You yearn for Chang'an, so a full moon blows in your dream
You yearn for Jiangnan, so borrow an oil-paper umbrella in the misty rain
And I yearn for Daocheng
think between hell and heaven
Passing through your whole world.
Every time I don’t know where to go during the annual vacation, this time is the same. We struggled between Yunnan and Daocheng for a long time, and finally chose Daocheng, because the annual vacation is just in September, so let’s go to the most beautiful season of Daocheng! A group of four friends managed to make up the time and just chartered a car.
Three ways to travel:
There are three ways to go to Daocheng. One is to take a bus and arrive in two days, but it is tiring. You can’t stop to take pictures on the road. The advantage is that it is cheap. The second is to travel with a tour group. All meals, lodging and transportation are covered on the road, which is more worry-free, but we feel that the itinerary is too rigid and there are too many people. So I chose a chartered car in the end. I found our chartered car in advance, Mr. Li, who took care of us a lot along the way.
The following is about the preparations for this trip:
All kinds of hats, scarves, and sunglasses can not only shape concave, but also keep warm. Master Li told me that it has been snowing in the mountains for the past few days, so you must bring a down jacket! Sunscreen, a thermos cup, the temperature difference between morning and evening is huge, and the ultraviolet rays are also strong.
There is also the most important rhodiola oral liquid. Be sure to prepare it, you can drink it in advance. Cash, charging treasure, cold medicine, etc. I bought a ticket to Chengdu one day in advance. I went shopping in downtown Chengdu the first night, waiting for the master to pick me up the next day.

D1: Chengdu - Dujiangyan - Wenchuan - Malkang - Guanyin Bridge
At 8:30 in the morning on the first day, the car picked us up at the hotel on time. Then set off in the direction of Dujiangyan and Wenchuan, and go to Seda Buddhist College. The theme of today and tomorrow is the Buddha Kingdom Seda. Seda Buddhist Academy is the largest Tibetan Buddhist academy in the world, and has the reputation of "Seda Mountains and Rivers Are Red". It symbolizes that Seda is a country with strong religious beliefs.
When we arrived in Wenchuan, the scenery on the road began to become particularly beautiful.
Arrive at Guanyin Bridge at night, stay in Guanyinqiao Town {Lido Hotel}, there are triple rooms and double rooms. Five people just opened 2 rooms, so we don’t need to open a room with the master alone, which saves a lot of expenses. By the way, we are in charge of the master’s board and lodging on the way.
On the Guanyin Bridge is the Guanyin Temple. The Guanyin Temple is called the "Little Potala Palace" by the locals. On the road, you will also see some Tibetans who go to the Guanyin Temple to worship. The road up the mountain is very steep, and it is not recommended for old drivers. The master's driving skills are very good. We were quite frightened. We all turned sharply and went uphill and downhill rapidly. It was even more frightening to run into the oncoming car.
D2: Guanyin Bridge - Seda - Celestial Burial Terrace - Watching the night view of the Buddhist Academy
The Buddhist Academy was the first climax of this itinerary. We arrived around 12:00 in the morning. We originally wanted to stay at the Larung Hotel, so we could go back to the hotel after watching the night view, but the master told us that it is best not to stay there.
One is because the first time I come to Seda, I may not be used to the smell of Tibetan compatriots (to declare, I have absolutely no meaning of discrimination), and the second is because the altitude of the Buddhist College is very high, and it is easier to rebel at night.
Later, I lived in [Kamba Hotel] in the county seat, with a standard room of 240. Kangba County is about 20 kilometers away from the Buddhist Academy. Private cars cannot go up to the Buddhist Academy, but can only be parked at the door. There are buses that cost 3 yuan per person, and you need to prepare change.
【The little monkey I met on the road】
Encounter a Double Rainbow
Lama Juem of the Buddhist Academy is not allowed to take pictures casually, I only found out later. If you encounter unreasonable people, you may throw pebbles at you, or ask you for money (don’t ask me how I know). In fact, we can think about it differently. If you were photographed like a monkey every day, how would you feel?
Panorama of Buddhist Academy
I took a photo with our chartered car Master Li in the hotel. He is very nice and takes good care of us. The driving is very stable.
D3: Seda-Garze-Xinlong-Litang-Daocheng-Shangri-La Town
Today's itinerary is on the road, but fortunately, the scenery on the road is also very beautiful. The body felt a little uncomfortable as the waves climbed, and our breathing became short of breath, but it didn't affect our mood at all.
On the way, we pass through Ganzi, Xinlong, Litang, the world's highest city, and there are alpine meadows and towering snow-capped mountains along the way.
On the road, I saw a very high snow mountain, the top of which was covered with ice and snow. The master told us that it was Queer Mountain. It was 6,200 meters above sea level. Herds of cattle and sheep are playing leisurely, ignoring the passing tourists and vehicles.
Suddenly remembered a sentence, I am a vulgar person, when I see mountains, I see mountains, and when I see water, I see water, but when I see you, the sea of clouds begins to surge, and the river tide begins to surge. This is probably the place where the sea of clouds rushes to me.
We arrived in Daocheng around 7:00 pm, and we lived in Shangri-La Town, with an altitude of about 2800, which is relatively low and not easy to get high. After a tiring day by boat and car, I can finally lie down comfortably and recharge my batteries for the next day's hike.
In the evening, I ate the special beef soup pot here, a large pot full of beef, a pot of steaming beef soup on the cold plateau, the sense of happiness burst instantly.
D4: Shangri-La Town - Aden Long Line
There are long-term and short-term tours in the scenic spot of Aden. The whole tour is usually two days.
Take the short route on the first day, and the long route on the second day. The master told us to take the short route first and then the long route. First, we can get used to it. Second, it is also the same when we take the long route from the place where the shuttle bus gets off to Chonggu Temple. If you want to go, you can walk and play while taking the short-term on the first day, and you have seen this road, and you can skip it directly on the second day to save time.
Aden ticket plus bus is 270 yuan. On the road, you must bring trekking poles, thermos cups, biscuits for hunger, candies, etc. but not too much, and disposable raincoats. The weather on the mountain will be clear for a while, and it will rain for a while. hail.
Aden Long Line: Luorong Cattle Farm-Milk Sea-Five Color Sea
The bus from the scenic spot to Zhaguanbeng is 41 kilometers away, and the round trip is 120. From Zhaguanbeng to Chonggu Temple, it takes 20 minutes to walk. It takes 3 to 4 hours to walk from Chonggu Temple to Nuorong Niuchang, and 1 hour by electric frequency car. You must take a battery car.
The Luorong Cattle Farm started to hike for 10 kilometers to the milk sea. It was a difficult 10 kilometers, and not everyone could make it to the end. Accompanied by severe physical discomfort, it became extremely difficult for us to walk, and our legs were shaking all the time. The milk sea and the five-color sea are next to each other, and you can only walk, but it is not far. One thing that needs special attention is that you must arrive at Luorong Cattle Farm before 18:00, otherwise you will be miserable if you miss the last bus.
D5: Aden short-term: Chonggu Temple - Pearl Sea - Xiannairi
The short-term is at a lower altitude, the distance is shorter and easier. The highest altitude is 4200, the whole journey is about 3 kilometers, about 3 hours, from the lawn of Chonggu Temple to Xiannairi, you will pass the shooting point of "passing through your world", and then continue to Pearl Sea. Probably the long line that went first, so it was a little less shocking, but still beautiful.
People who are not in good health suggest that they can only take short-term walks, because it is really much easier. Or the body can generally only take the long line. Live in Daocheng at night.
D6: Daocheng - Litang - Yajiang - Xindu Bridge
Today we will pass through the Sangdui Red Grassland, which is very beautiful in this season. Then go to Haizishan, take beautiful photos, pass the Internet celebrity highway, and finally live in Xinduqiao, which is known as the world of light and shadow, a paradise for photographers.
D7: Xindu Bridge - Zheduo Mountain - Kangding - Ya'an - Chengdu
On the last day of the itinerary, after passing through the winding Zheduo Mountain, there is a viewing platform where you can take pictures, Luding Bridge, let’s also experience the heroic relics of the Red Army’s capture of the Luding Bridge, and look at the rest of the Taotao River. Some want to cry, the motherland I love~
At around 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the master sent us to Chadianzi Subway Station, and the trip was over.
Although there are all kinds of reluctance, the work will continue, and we will return to a peaceful life. Along the way, there will be surprises, laughter, and discomfort, but in the end we all have a very happy life. What is there to be dissatisfied with? Woolen cloth? Finally, hope that all of us will get better and better! Such a trip is really a good experience. Of course, we would also like to thank our driver, Master Li, who is reliable and responsible. Well, my Sui Sui Nian is finally over.
Goodbye, Daocheng, goodbye, beautiful West Sichuan.
Where should I go in the next travelogue?
Featured recommendations on the road:
The first is the hot pot in Chengdu, needless to say, just go to any one. On the road, Wenchuan tofu fish can be eaten in Wenchuan County. For Sichuan cuisine, you must order a portion of the old bacon in the mountains. There are also many Sichuan dishes on the road, and the price is not expensive. Of course, it depends on the season.
