First of all, I would like to push the stone here. If you are interested, you can find him. He really took good care of us these few days. At least I am fat?
And I really like this kind of outdoor group!
Stone V
This trip to western Sichuan was purely a windfall, because I never thought that I could go to this place I was thinking of so quickly haha. My cousin and I decided to go to pack the luggage within a week!
In fact, I’m with a tour group, so I can’t share any travel notes, so let’s talk about what I’ve seen and heard, and discuss whether my group is worth following.
about the plateau
First of all, let me talk about people who are not suitable for going to the plateau:
1. People with heart disease and high blood pressure
2. People who can't afford to work hard
3. Can't stand people who don't take a shower for a week
Don’t think about comfort when traveling, especially on the plateau. I get up at 7 o’clock every day and I have to go on my way, and I only took a bath for 7 days after going there (because if I accidentally catch a cold, I will be very serious, and I am quite adaptable to the plateau. It's good but I don't dare to mess around)
Symptoms of altitude sickness:
Common symptoms include headache, insomnia, loss of appetite, tiredness, and difficulty breathing, among which headache is the most common symptom.
Ways to alleviate altitude sickness:
1. It is best to eat Rhodiola rosea one month in advance (available in pharmacies)
2. Carry glucose and chocolate with you, these can replenish energy.
3. Exercise less at the beginning, ensure sufficient physical strength and sleep and don't worry about walking, walk slowly.
4. Don't overeat every meal for 7 or 8 minutes, so as not to increase the burden on the digestive organs, or you will cry.
5. Drink plenty of water, especially hot water!
6. Pay attention to cold protection and warmth, to avoid the decline of resistance and the invasion of colds. (Is it dangerous to catch a cold on the plateau?)
Preparations before departure:
When traveling to these places, especially outdoors, you should carry as little luggage as possible, and don't increase your burden.
About two sets of clothes (just change them in turn), medicine (cold medicine, Po Chai pills), lip balm, body lotion, facial mask (must bring because the weather is too dry), food (chocolate, candy and sweet things)
I want to talk about travel
Many people think that the purpose of traveling is to relax and escape the temporary pressure of life, but I think relaxation also has two meanings: first (going out for enjoyment-type travel, pursuing comfort in everything, living in a fun, delicious and delicious way)
The second is that although the body is in hell, the eyes are in heaven
Although it was hard work, I felt open and cheerful after getting through it, and sometimes I even felt that I had grown unconsciously.
Traveling doesn’t have to be comfortable. Traveling to a city may be a kind of enjoyment and a place to live, or even a vacation;
But traveling to Bianyuan (Tibet, Xinjiang, Northwest) may be a kind of "torture", but these trips are the experiences in your life, which will be more rewarding and precious than any comfortable travel.
It is not necessary to look at the scenery comfortably. Every experience belongs to me. Only after experiencing it can I know the taste.
Something about the outdoor group
This time I booked an outdoor pure play group on Ctrip. In fact, 4 people can form a group with 2 people. The cost for 8 days and 7 nights is around 5,000 (excluding air tickets and meals). So this trip is all I have. The cost is around 8000 (it will be much cheaper if you look for stones directly)
The difference between outdoor group and ordinary tour group:
Pros: The place where the outdoor group goes will have a deeper experience, and the time will be relatively free. The small group system is more like a group of friends traveling together and will not chase ducks like a tour group;
Disadvantages: The cost will be relatively higher; it may be relatively hard; there may be activities such as hiking and climbing on the way; round-trip transportation costs are not included
In fact, it is also possible to choose a bus tour and the cost will be much cheaper (about 2,000 yuan). It depends on how you measure which one is more suitable for you.
The feature of our group this time is the itinerary of travel photography + off-road vehicle. Naturally, the car will be equipped with bottled oxygen and an unlimited supply. One night, it is a starry sky photoshoot and the leader stone is very fun and nice~
If I come next time, I will also go with the outdoor group. After all, I am going to the plateau now, and the distance between each scenic spot is long. Driving by myself will be tiring and not familiar with the road conditions, so it is a bit dangerous!
I really don't recommend driving by yourself unless you have been here more than once, or you are very adaptable to altitude sickness, or you have good driving skills, otherwise it is necessary to choose a group, even a bus group.
In fact, why is the bus tour so cheap? (The more people participate, the cost of the bus fare and the leader’s transportation will be shared equally by more people. The income of traditional travel agencies is mostly composed of shopping rebates and catering rebates.)
I started in winter, which is the off-season, and the peak season is around September in autumn. In fact, every season has its own beauty. You must be entangled in the autumn colors, and the house price will increase by 10 times during the peak season.
From Daocheng to Serta, we have been adapting to the high anti-reflex, so we have nothing to do when we go to Seda. The journey is slow and we have a process of adaptation. When we arrive at Sertar, we don’t have to worry too much about high anti-reverse, but prevention work still needs to be done. made.
1. Take rhodiola and other anti-altitude sickness medicines one month before departure to carry medicines for colds, headaches and other medicines
2. Carry sweets such as candy and chocolate to replenish energy (for mountain climbing)
3. Carry a large number of oxygen cylinders to warm the baby, plus fleece and thick socks and coats, hats and scarves
4. Just get off the bus and don’t run around. If you jump, if you have cold symptoms, cancel the itinerary. Respect the local folk customs (the sky burial ceremony should not be profane)
9 days and 8 nights itinerary:
Day1
Guangzhou - Chengdu?
You can book your own air ticket on the first day, and you can come a few days earlier just to pay the room fee yourself. We put our luggage away and went to eat hot pot (big flavor hot pot, the taste is quite good. I ordered some things that I don’t usually eat, Houttuynia cordata, Rabbit, and fish) are all delicious?
Marinated rabbit meat, delicious
Dawei Hot Pot: 179rmb
Features: rabbit meat, Houttuynia cordata
Day 2
Chengdu Luding Bridge Xindu Bridge
Starting today, the scenery along the way is good. As the altitude climbs, blue sky and white clouds, plateau meadows, herds of yaks, everything outside the car window accompanied us along the way. Watching the Luding Bridge is quite spectacular, and then eating spicy dry pot, the taste is not bad
Luding Bridge
Rest at the hotel at 3:00 p.m. Everyone’s body has different degrees of high reaction, so I went back to the hotel early to rest, and had a candlelight dinner in the evening because of the power outage
Lunch: griddle
Dinner: Sauerkraut Fish, Kung Pao Chicken
Day 3
Xindu Bridge Eighteen Bends Litang Daocheng
The scenery along the way on this day is very beautiful! Although it is winter now, all you can see are snow-capped mountains or bare vegetation, but this is another kind of beauty. Sometimes the camera cannot show it, but it is very pleasing to watch!
Eighteen bends
The flags fluttering with the wind on the grassland look a bit spectacular, and the 217 Provincial Highway Internet Red Highway is also beautiful! It is very suitable for taking pictures, but you must pay attention to safety!
Braised beef (specialty)
Lunch: noodles, stewed beef (80rmb)
Dinner: fish in clear soup (230rmb)
Day 4
Play the long line of Aden Scenic Area
(Nuorong Niuchang, Yang Maiyong, Milk Sea, Five Color Sea, etc.)
Climbing the mountain of Yading, I believe that people who see my circle of friends already know what happened. I really feel great when I think about it hahaha
Climbing the 4700m mountain is still very scary when I think about it now. When I looked at the continuous mountain road in front of me several times, I was really desperate for a few times, and there was a cliff and a steep slope behind me. many. Can you imagine that when I saw people at that time, it was like escaping from the wild and seeing a house with the smell of fireworks?
Because we are the last ones, if we can’t catch the bus, we can only stay on the mountain (the tour guide said that if we stay on the mountain, the police really don’t care, and there was an accident before), so we are anxious and helpless. It's useless. Later we really fell down, but luckily people came one after another from behind, and the hanging hearts were finally let go.
The hardships of the process really need to be experienced to understand. I have never tried despair, but at the moment when I was on the cliff of the mountain, I thought I would not be able to get down. In the end, my elder brother and I encouraged each other to walk down.
After arduous climbing, we finally climbed to Milk Lake, feeling the baptism of the cold wind. Although the cold and biting feeling is hard, the joy is self-evident. To experience these unique things is another kind of A very nice way of life.
Dinner: Stewed Chicken with Matsutake (Specialty)
Day 5
【Second Entry to Aden】Short-term tour of Daocheng Aden
(However, we all rested at the hotel, played cards, and took pictures of the stars at night)
We all had no energy to enter the scenic spot on this day, so we slept late and then continued to Daocheng, and went to the hot spring village in the afternoon? ! It's so beautiful there, a house against the background of blue sky and white clouds is unbelievably beautiful, it really reminds me of the world in fairy tales. Then we go back to the hotel to fight the landlord haha
At night, I took pictures of the starry sky at minus 5 degrees. The sky is full of stars, and the sky is full of stars. I really like it? Although it is very cold and my feet are frozen, I don’t feel it, but it’s still worth it
The most anticipated night (shooting the starry sky, throwing iron flowers)
The matsutake stewed pork ribs (chicken) here is delicious, the soup tastes very fresh, and the pork ribs are soft and rotten, super satisfying!
The white pagodas can be seen everywhere here, their white pagodas are an expression of faith, just like our Guanyin.
Daocheng Specialty: Stewed Chicken with Matsutake (Pork Ribs)
Lunch: 80rmb
Dinner: 240rmb
Day 6
Seda County, Ganzi County, Litang, Daocheng
Because of the long distance, today is a day's drive. From 7 am to 4 pm, it's hard work!
But the scenery along the way is also very beautiful, the clear sky sets off the snow-capped mountains in the distance very clearly; there are also a lot of monkey troops along the way, very cute and the funniest is the monkey pooping on the stone car?
The small red houses are densely packed on the hillsides on all sides, stretching countless and endless, which is very spectacular.
As the sky gradually darkened, we went to Wuming Buddhist College to enjoy the night view. The scenery in front of us was amazing, and the little lights made people forget the severe cold.
Dinner: dry pot shrimp, sizzling beef, tomato seaweed soup (about 150rmb
There are not many restaurants open in the off-season now.
Day 7
Seda Wuming Buddhist College - Watch the Sky Burial
Sky burial has always been a sacred and mysterious thing to me (why sky burial: Legend has it that vultures are the mounts of Tathagata, if a person can be eaten by vultures after death, it means that the soul ascends to heaven, and there is another kind that vultures fly very high. It also means that you can take yourself to heaven)
When you come to Seda, you can try their own yak yoghurt. Although it is very sour, it has a unique flavor with sugar
Yak Yogurt
I really like the sound of granulated sugar crackling in the mouth, it will taste better than adding melted sugar!
Feature: Yak yogurt (10 pieces
Day 8
Return (Taoping Qiang Village Wenchuan Chengdu)
Today is the return trip. I went to visit the Qiang Village. The scenery is quite good. I ate tofu fish for lunch (the taste is a bit heavy like Mapo tofu)
Back in Chengdu in the evening, the members of the group please have a super rich meal! Then I hung out with my cousin and bought strawberries (35 yuan a catty for a big one!)
The two of them foolishly wandered around other people's specialty stores with strawberries in plastic bags. You can make up your mind that others have just finished shopping and are holding exquisite brand packaging, but we are. . . Laughing all over the street like a fool, maybe people who just came back to the city are not used to it hahahaha,
Lunch: fish with tofu (240rmb
Dinner: private kitchen (288 per person
Day 9
No Breakfast Snacks——Guangzhou Baiyun Airport
The night when we returned to Chengdu did not include accommodation, so we booked a room on airbnb for about 150 a night. The location near the subway is very good.
I took advantage of the gap on the last day to explore the store, and I fell in love with this store. Not only the appearance is online, but also the taste is super good. I am so happy to go around in circles!
Returning from nature to the city, feeling human civilization
All the way from Chengdu to Seda, I was surprised by the uncanny beauty of nature
Back in the city, I like this kind of leisurely and beautiful life
Either that kind of life feels good?
Butter Chicken Curry Rice
Lunch: muffins, mushroom baked rice, butter curry rice (recommended/per capita 75rmb)
Today's sharing is over here
thank you for watching to the end
Everything I like is so "expensive"
I don't work hard
but my favorite
It is this very hardworking and expensive self.
I wish you also stick to your little luck
