foreword
After finishing a stage of study, I urgently need a quick trip to refresh myself. I happened to see the western Sichuan hiking group released by Mitutoyo, and the time was just right, so I embarked on the journey just after the class was over.
West Sichuan — This is a place favored by God. It is almost full of the most beautiful and mysterious scenery in China. Do you still only know the well-known place like Jiuzhaigou? In fact, in this vast land, there are not only these beautiful scenery, but also too many wonderful places that are little known and kept in boudoirs.
About the itinerary
This time I signed up for Santutoyo’s in-depth tour of western Sichuan. Unlike traditional travel agencies, Santutoyo’s experienced tour guides lead us to experience local customs and customs in depth, instead of simply visiting popular attractions and checking in.

Chengdu, start a dream trip
DAY 1: Beijing - Chengdu Hotel
As soon as I arrived in Chengdu, I put down my luggage and went to Laobaxiang, where I thought about day and night, and experienced the traditional ear-picking again. The ear-picking experience in the park a few years ago is still unforgettable to me.
After a refreshment, I went to Chunxi Road with my new roommate Sisi to eat skewers, but I almost missed the last bus back to the hotel. The team leader Ah Wei was quite helpless to us two foodies.
Mount Siguniang, Queen of Shushan
DAY 2: Maobi Bridge - Balang Mountain - Changping Valley - Siguniang Mountain - Chongchongjiao Waterfall - Dry Tree Beach
After having breakfast at the hotel the next morning, we started the 11-day journey. Ah Wei found a local driver who was very kind. Thanks to his care these days, his driving skills are also very good. Excellent, driving smoothly, escorting our beautiful journey all the way.
Starting from Chengdu, the first stop is the Siguniang Mountain Scenic Spot in Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture. Siguniang Mountain: 5 yuan for insurance, 20 yuan for scenic transportation vehicles, 55 yuan for student discount tickets, and 95 yuan for adult tickets.
Autumn in western Sichuan is intoxicating and colorful. The water and grass on the grasslands are golden, and the snow-capped mountains and forests are all dyed. It is a rich and colorful stroke in this world, with bold and bright colors, and the environment is very quiet, like a paradise.
In western Sichuan in late autumn, the mountains have been decorated with colorful vegetation.
Along the winding mountain road, first come to the viewing place of Siguniang Mountain and her father, Balang Mountain, which is more than 4,000 meters above sea level. It is said that the girl in Siguniang Mountain is the tallest and most beautiful, with an altitude of more than 6,000 meters.
Along the way, the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly, allowing us to enjoy the beautiful scenery. We settled for lunch at the county town along the road. A copy of Chaoshou is 18 yuan, which is a normal price.
The locals said that such a blue sky and white clouds are very rare to see in western Sichuan, only 3-4 days a month can be seen, and our 11-day itinerary, it is almost sunny every day, it is simply luck!
In the Changpinggou Scenic Area, we started to go like a dry tree beach. Because I came directly from Beijing to the west of Sichuan, I felt that my body couldn’t get used to it. After walking for a long time, I started to feel dizzy and felt a little high, so I didn’t dare. Go fast, pass the Chongchongjiao Waterfall on the way, fearing its altitude, so I didn't climb any further.
Follow your own rhythm, walk in the mountains alone, talk to yourself, and you can hear your heartbeat quietly.
I really like to observe the texture of these old trees, which are naturally carved to form unique marks, and every dent is the baptism of life.
After visiting some scenic spots of Siguniang Mountain, I stayed at Jiaju Zangzhai Luowo Inn on the mountain outside Danba County at night, and felt the traditional Tibetan-style inn. The Tibetan grandma is very enthusiastic, and the facilities in the inn are also clean and tidy. Eat well and sleep soundly, and continue to set off the next day with full energy.
Jiaju Tibetan Village tickets are 50 full tickets, half tickets are 25, and Jiaju Tibetan Village dinners are 30 per person.
Mosca, as quiet as a paradise, as beautiful as a painting
DAY 3: Jiaju Zangzhai Observation Deck No. 3 - Mosca
Early this morning we passed the No. 3 viewing platform of Jiaju Tibetan Village. We had a panoramic view of the whole village. When we came last night, it was so dark that we didn’t appreciate it. Today, we saw it for ten thousand years.
Various earth and stone forests, vast meadows, rolling snow-capped mountains, and charming Tibetan villages constitute a wonderful Tibetan style painting.
After bidding farewell to Jiaju Tibetan Village, we drove to Mosca. We were received by a local family named Pocket City Inn, which is highly recommended. The price of yak noodles and butter tea for lunch at his house is 19 yuan per person, which is a very conscientious price.
This child is the daughter of the boss's daughter. She seems to be a mother in her early 20s. The responsibilities and burdens of the family make her look much more mature than her peers. Cute and naughty, it makes people forget her mother's identity, thinking that she is just a little sister like us.
In the afternoon, the team leader said that he was going to Gucencuo at an altitude of 4700 and climbed 800 meters. After considering my physical condition and future itinerary, I decided to save my energy and wait for my friends at the base camp. At the same time, I also enjoyed Mosca. scenery.
I really feel that I am very lucky. When I went up the mountain, it was still cloudy, rainy and snowy. After reaching the top of the mountain, the sun was shining brightly and the blue sky and white clouds were shining. Thank you for the gift of God. This is a good weather that can't be met.
Mosca has a charming scenery of plateau grasslands. Residential houses of various shapes are scattered among the fields. Prayer flags on the back mountain flutter in the wind. bonsai.
Tibetans are very simple, and this is a peaceful and pure land. When you come here, your mind will be washed and your soul will become pure.
It is very suitable for donkey friends to come here for hiking. It will definitely not disappoint your expectations. It will show its outstanding side in front of everyone. White clouds are lingering on the top of the mountain. This is the closest place to the sky. , as if you can touch the soft white clouds with your hands, you will definitely be deeply conquered by this beautiful scenery.
The environment here is very quiet and quiet, with beautiful natural scenery and many rare animals and plants.
Going to Danba Moska, you can enjoy her original ecological folk customs, and you can also enjoy the beautiful natural scenery of mountains, snow peaks, lakes, etc. on foot; there is another project, which is to play with the local groundhogs for a while. Groundhogs are small, burrowing rodents. They look like fighter jets among mice at close range, but their fur is yellow with black, and their appearance is simple and cute.
When we were having dinner in the evening, the boss’s wife just came back from the county seat and brought gifts for each of the children. When the youngest daughter received the new clothes, her face was full of smiles, which made people feel happy. .
The menu of the Pocket City is attached, and the price is clearly marked. In the evening, follow the team and return to Danba County to stay at the Gudiao Love Hotel.
Dangling, the secret place in Hengduan Mountain
DAY 4, 5: Secret Party Ridge
After leaving Danba County, we came to Dangling again.
Dangling's primeval forest is vast, layer upon layer, deep and mysterious;
People and vehicles walk in the middle of tall and dense vegetation, surrounded by quiet and fresh air, which is really pleasing to the eye and heart.
Dangling is located in Bianer Township, northwest of Danba County, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province. It is a dreamlike place, with majestic and magnificent snow peaks, dotted alpine lakes, primitive and natural open-air hot springs, green and dense virgin forests, The slowly flowing clear stream and the green meadow together constitute this beautiful picture.
The house of Secretary Song lived in Dangling. Secretary Song turned his home into a farmhouse, with accommodation, catering, and guides all in one. He was very busy welcoming guests from all over the world every day.
If you like hiking and adventure, then Dangling is the scenery you can't miss. Dangling should be the most beautiful place in Danba, but because it is undeveloped and not perfect in all aspects, it is currently only suitable for backpackers.
34 for lunch, 50 for dinner, and 20 for sanitation fee for entering the village. Generally speaking, the price is slightly more expensive than the place I went to before.
After a short rest at noon, after we settled our luggage and had lunch, we set off for the wild hot spring deep in the secret place.
The No. 1 hot spring is privately owned because it is relatively close, and there is a fee. The temperature of the No. 2 hot spring is too high, suitable for boiling eggs, so we came to the farthest No. 3 hot spring. The team leader set up a tent for us to change clothes. Those who don’t want to soak in the hot spring are here Sitting next to soaking feet is also a kind of enjoyment.
All the way is beautiful, reluctant to blink. Walking back and forth on the 8-kilometer mountain road to the wild hot springs, this foot massage is a bit expensive.
The next day, the whole team had to get up early and set off for Huluhai at an altitude of 4,200 meters. Because of the exhaustion from the day’s hiking and the high altitude, I decided to give up the high-intensity trip and rest in Dangling, so I went out after I woke up naturally in the morning The village wandered freely.
This is the beautiful scenery that cannot be seen in the office, this is the place that cannot be reached by mouth, and the heart wants to go immediately. Another day of fine weather.
The scenery of Dangling is better than that of Jiuzhaigou, and it really lives up to its reputation. The most beautiful autumn meets the most beautiful Dangling. I can't think of a more perfect combination than this.
The boss said that there are only three or four days of such good weather in Dangling a month, and he doubts whether he is possessed by a koi carp, which has its own VC light effect.
Climbing up a small mountain in the distance, I can have a panoramic view of Dangling, and the depression that has not gone to the gourd sea is swept away. This unexpected beauty surprises me even more.
Dangling is a place uncontested with the world. It is not as famous as Daocheng and Zhongdian. However, when you arrive here, you can feel a kind of quiet and peaceful beauty. Under the blue sky and white clouds, on the pasture under the snow-capped mountains, cattle and sheep are Grabbing the grass leisurely, there are still clouds and mist curling up on the halfway of the snow-capped mountain. I can't help but sigh, this is really a place like a fairyland.
In the evening, we turned back from Dangling and returned to Gudiaoqing Hotel in Danba County. We asked the friends in the team to eat Tuba Bowl Hot Pot together. The authentic Western Sichuan flavor made us feast on it, with an average of 73 yuan per capita.
Sertar, the place where faith began
DAY 6: Seda Larung Wuming Buddhist Academy
Depart from Danba at 9:00 a.m., pass through the checkpoint (released twice a day at 9:00 and 12:00 a.m.), park in line for more than half an hour, and stop halfway to have lunch for more than half an hour. Lunch is 33 per person. Arrived at Wuming Buddhist College at 8:00 p.m., a journey of more than 370 kilometers.
When approaching Seda, the sky began to look unbeautiful, and layers of snowflakes floated up. When we reached the mountain, the visibility was less than ten meters, and we could not enjoy the long-awaited night view of Seda.
From the foot of the mountain, take a bus to the top of Larong Temple Wuming Buddhist College. It costs 2 yuan for monks and 3 yuan for laypeople. It is also the first time I know that we are laypeople. I saw a sentence in Tibetan in the car, and the translation is don't lose your way, don't disturb other people's hearts. Share with you.
It was so cold that the smile gradually froze. On the way to the summit, there was a tenth level of heavy snow. The red and white Seda seemed to be another world.
Pious monks turn scriptures and chant Buddha in the snow. Being in this scene makes people feel awe.
Seda Larung Temple Wuming Buddhist Academy, the largest Tibetan Buddhist academy in the world, is said to have more than 14,000 registered monks practicing and living here. Men who become monks are called "Dzaba" and women who become monks are called "Juemu" .
Stay at Seda Shexia Hotel in Ganzi County at night. The room facilities are very complete, clean and tidy, and the layout is very warm. The warm tones make it feel like home. I recommend it. You can stay in Shexia Hotel when you come to Seda. It is super clean and the floor heating is super comfortable.
After packing up the luggage, I went out to look for food with my friends. It was still snowing heavily outside, so I found a maocai restaurant and ate maocai and yak noodles, which finally filled my stomach.
DAY 7 Seda Larung Wuming Buddhist Academy - Sky Burial - Casa Lake - White Pagoda Park
The monks, walking alone or in a group, are in a hurry. They refuse to be photographed by others, as if they are clinging to their own world.
Around the top of the altar of the Wuming Buddhist Academy in Seda Larung Temple, there are dense crimson red cabins, stretching countless, beyond sight at a glance, surrounding the top of the altar like stars holding the moon.
At home or as a monk, life is an unavoidable practice, but some people are conscious, some are not, some are awakened and enlightened, some stay in a state of ignorance, and some work hard on the road...
Walking among the monks, feeling the special field in the air, I asked myself in my heart: Do you dare to do this kind of practice?
When we came down from the mandala with regret, Wuming Buddhist Academy shyly unveiled the snow-covered veil, and the clear sky allowed us to appreciate its breathtaking beauty.
People do not necessarily go to heaven when they die, but they must come to Seda once alive!
Seda, which is clear after the snow, is indescribably beautiful.
This is a sacred place of Buddhism, the mountains and rivers, temples, and the sky are so pure and shocking.
Sky burial - life and death, this life and the afterlife, meet here.
Here you can experience the unavoidable practice life, insignificance and insignificance, emptiness, impermanence, and the meaninglessness of life.
Watching Sky Burial: Where do people come from and where are they going? This is the ultimate topic of life. In fact, sometimes it is easier for people to look at life and death than to look at gains and losses. People who talk about philosophy in philosophical discussions may not live clearly, some people who don't know what philosophy is often live transparently, and most of the common people are in between, sometimes "understanding" and sometimes "confused". "Live as you want, and you are in it.
Kasa Lake——Located 70 kilometers west of Luhuo County, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, my country, just beside the 317 National Highway from Danba to Dege, it is the largest waterfowl habitat on the Northwest Sichuan Road and the largest number of mandarin ducks in Sichuan area. The total area of the lake is 1.92 square kilometers, which belongs to the plateau freshwater lake.
Historical legend: According to legend, a long time ago, the location of Kasa Lake was a deep valley without lake water or streams. What is even more unfortunate is that they have been hit by drought for several consecutive years. The crops are extensively planted and the harvest is poor. They cannot make ends meet, and there are also terrible phenomena of children dying when they are underage. An old man in the village saw that his compatriots in suffering were miserable, so he began to chant Buddha devoutly. On the night of the 108th day of kowtowing to Buddha, I had a strange dream. In the dream, a man in white clothes and riding a white horse always told him not to forget to let go of the frogs in the deep valley. The old man woke up and felt that the Lord Buddha had appeared. When it was dawn, he hurried to the deep valley to look for frogs, but there was no frog in the dry land. Just when he was disappointed and was about to leave, he found a huge rock in front of him that looked exactly like a frog. Look right, look up, look down, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a frog. He can't help but push it forward, it's weird! The huge stone was moved away, and clear water flowed out from under the stone. The old man was ecstatic, and immediately ran to worship the gods to thank the gods for their protection. This water surges up year after year to form Casa Lake. From then on, the Kasa people sowed seeds in spring and harvested in autumn, and the livestock flourished. The trickling streams also flowed into the lake from distant valleys. After that, there were legends about dragons, cows, horses, frogs, etc. left in the lake. and into the lake.
From dawn to dusk, our journey is the sea of stars.
Passing through Baita Park, along the way, the starry sky twinkles overhead. Living in the city all year round, how long has it been since I saw such a pure night sky? It's like being wrapped in a boundless black brocade, surrounded by countless huge diamonds, they are constantly flashing, flashing...
Overnight at Ridge Gesar Hotel (Gesar Hotel).
Daocheng Yading, Shambhala on the plateau
DAY 8: Litang - Yalong River - Rabbit Mountain - Haizi Mountain - Shihe Park - Red Grass Wetland Park - Zunsheng Tallinn - Yading Paradise Street
Depart from Ganzi to Daocheng at 7:40 in the morning, the whole journey is 400 kilometers. All the way through the Yalong River Grand Canyon, through Xinlong County, to Litang (4014 altitude), the world's highest city where the VII was born, through the Maoya prairie, via the Wuliang River, and over the Rabbit Mountain (4696 altitude above sea level) ), passing through the largest ancient Binghaizi Mountain Nature Reserve on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (average altitude 4500), crossing the red grassland, and arriving at Daocheng at 18:40.
Zunsheng Tallinn encountered before arriving in Daocheng.
I stayed at the Inn Under the Stars tonight, a great room, and the tiredness of the day disappeared.
In the evening, I ate hot and spicy Tibetan cool hot pot with my companions. This trip to Sichuan can be regarded as a complete solution to the hot pot. The difference is that this hot pot is yak beef hot pot, 48 yuan per capita. The boss is from Beijing, and he must be very happy to hear our praise.
After eating, we came to the local commercial street, Yatian Street, which is different from other commercial streets. The Tibetan characters and prayer flags all over the place add a lot of exotic charm to it.
After dinner, the locals sang and danced in the middle of the square, and the passing partners were infected by the joyful atmosphere and couldn't help but join in.
The Daocheng Holy Land as night falls, and the brightly lit Yading Paradise Street. When we meet for the first time, I want to pass by your whole world.
DAY 9: Daocheng Yading - Luorong Cattle Farm - Milk Sea - Five Color Sea - Langxiu House
In the morning, we took the team bus from Daocheng to the gate of the Aden scenic spot (1.5 hours), then took the scenic bus to enter the scenic spot, and started a one-and-a-half day itinerary for Aden after checking in at the hotel at Langxiu Residence.
Daocheng Yading; adult ticket: 270+80 battery car; student discount ticket: 200+80 battery car.
The tatami-style big bed in Longxiu House is very comfortable.
Today’s route: Yading Village H3,780 meters—Chonggu Temple H3,970 meters—Luorong Niuchang H4,100 meters—Milk Sea H4,410 meters—the end point, Five Colors Sea, H4,600 meters. (There is no crossing route, you can only go back the same way) The round trip is 11 kilometers, and the climb is 600 meters.
Yading is famous for the three sacred mountains of Xiannairi, Yangmaiyong, and Shanuoduoji. There are also mysterious and beautiful Pearl Sea, Milk Sea and Five-color Lake. If you want to get close to them, you must go up the mountain.
Shangri-La means "a paradise isolated from the world" in Tibetan. "There are vast areas, rolling mountains, lush grasslands, clear streams, holy snow-capped mountains..." British novelist James Hilton described the beauty and magic of Shangri-La in the book "Lost Horizon".
It is said that the real Shangri-La is in Daocheng. Indulging in the detached clear sky, I fell in love with the last piece of pure land on the blue planet - Yading Village, Daocheng County, Ganzi Prefecture. How many people have had dreams for many years. Today, I will fulfill your dream for you!
Yading, a place that can only appear in dreams, finally one day, I came to her feet and saw the golden highland barley fields inlaid between the green mountains and clear waters, and my heart was full of joy.
There are three sacred mountains in Daocheng Yading, namely, the north peak Xiannairi, the first of the three peaks, with an altitude of 6032 meters; the south peak, Yangmaiyong, with an altitude of 5958 meters; the east peak, Shanuoduoji, with the same altitude as Yangmaiyong.
Gradually, the sky became brighter, and a snow mountain loomed in the morning mist, as if it was right beside us. After a long time, the eyes gradually opened up, and a group of yaks suddenly appeared in the wilderness. They gathered together in twos and threes, raised their heads and glanced at our group of uninvited guests, and then buried themselves in the grass to continue their breakfast. This is the Falling Cow Farm.
Walk through the Luorong Cattle Farm on the plateau and enter the mountaineering road.
Not far away, a majestic snow-capped mountain is like a Bodhisattva sitting in the wilderness, with a cloud entangled in the mountains, that is Yangmai Yongshen Mountain! Yangmaiyong, Tibetan means "Manjusri Bodhisattva", Manjusri Bodhisattva is the embodiment of wisdom in Buddhism, and at this time Xuefeng is pointing directly at the sky like the sword of wisdom in the hands of Manjushri, pure and clean, proudly between heaven and earth .
The streams formed by the melting water of the snow-capped mountains pass through the jungle, and there is a sound of rushing water. From a distance, you can see the snow-white pebbles on the bottom of the water. It is as dazzling as white snow, and it is also icy cold. There are countless small mani piles piled up beside the stream, full of Tibetans' prayers to the Buddha.
I remembered what Joseph Locke said: "Under the clear sky in front of me, stands the unparalleled Yangmaiyong Xuefeng. It is the most beautiful snow mountain I have ever seen." Yes, Yangmaiyong, too The most beautiful snow mountain I have ever seen!
Xueshan is a shy girl, and it is not always possible to see her true face. Geographical conditions and weather are indispensable conditions.
After a few days of adaptation, the body has gradually adjusted, so today I did not feel too much discomfort when I continued to climb at an altitude of more than 4,000 meters. I still carried food and water on my back, and stopped with my friends while carrying the weight. Down along the way to take pictures, all the way is fun.
The beauty of Yangmai Yongshen Mountain shocked me. After seeing the sea of milk, I really don’t know what language to use to describe it. The milk sea is on the top of the mountain. The road up the mountain is steep and slippery. In some places, it is even at a 40-degree angle. The meltwater of the snow-capped mountains flows through it, making it impossible to ride a horse. The altitude here is high, and the oxygen is relatively thin. If you move too much and defecate, you will easily suffer from hypoxia. We support each other to climb up, climb for a while and take a rest. After finally climbing to the top of the mountain, we found that we were at the back of Xiannairi Snow Mountain. It was right beside us. It seemed that we could climb to the top with just a few more steps!
Going forward and walking into a mountain depression, I suddenly felt that my eyes were bright: surrounded by snow-capped mountains and floating in mist, there was a crystal clear blue lake in the middle, and the water's edge was light milky white. Haizi is slightly flowing, the sun is passing through the clouds lightly, so it also changes its brilliance like a gem, sometimes it is brilliant and dazzling, sometimes it is full of brilliance, and it is erratic. There are patches of meadows and leaf clumps beside Haizi, green algae moss covering the round pebbles, like huge mushrooms, soft, like a piece of green flannelette, carefully caring for this sapphire.
Thick clouds and thick fog float and surround the mountains, blocking the way of coming and going, revealing a kind of artistic conception of another world everywhere. The singing voice of the Tibetan guide is clear and loud, as if it came from the sky. The sea of milk is like jasper inlaid in the snow-capped mountains, pure and serene.
As the sun gradually rose, the thick fog began to recede, and a pass appeared at the junction of the two mountains at the end of the Milky Sea. We crossed the pass, and there was a green pool near the bottom of the mountain. The snow-capped mountains were reflected on the lake. With the change of distance, the water surface had a rainbow-like color. It is precisely because this lake often presents colorful colors, it is called the five-color sea.
In the evening, I ordered the local special matsutake chicken soup in the inn with my teammates. After a hard day's hiking, my stomach was already growling with hunger, and I felt that this meal was particularly delicious.
DAY 10: Chonggu Temple - Zhuoma Lacuo (Pearl Sea) - Xiannairi Observation Deck - Bowa Mountain - Starry Inn - Tianjie Aden Performing Arts Center
At about 10 o'clock in the morning, we will arrive at the foot of Mount Kinabalu by car. Take a half-day stroll to Chonggu Temple and Pearl Sea.
I walked past the scripture hall where the Buddha statue of Sakyamuni was enshrined, and came to the courtyard of the Chonggu Temple. Over the corner, I looked at the three sacred mountains of Xiannairi, Yangmaiyong, and Shanuoduoji. According to legend, this is the The entrance to the mysterious Shambhala, Chonggu Temple.
Bypassing the Chonggu Temple, it is very close to the Pearl Sea.
Suddenly, there was some movement in the woods. Looking carefully, it turned out to be a few little squirrels playing on the tree. They are not afraid of strangers, and curiously ran to the grass to dig out the backpack that was thrown on the ground, and touched my feet, how funny! Can't help but sigh, the ecological environment here is really well protected!
The moment I walked out of the dense forest, I saw the Pearl Sea, it was so quiet. In fact, Haizi is not big, and it doesn't look deep, but it is shining with a strange emerald green. In the sun, it swayed faintly in waves, like a huge emerald that fell into the world, full of brilliance!
The turquoise water color is infinitely mysterious under the reflection of the evening sky, and Xiannairi Mountain is covered with thick white snow, like Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva in white gauze sitting by the lake. The water of the lake is like a dressing mirror, reflecting the majestic figure of Xian Nairi, which is full of vitality due to the fairy spirit of the sacred mountain.
The breeze caresses gently, only the prayer flags are dancing gently, there is almost no other movement, all thoughts and consciousness are still, I can only feel the flow of time and the flow of wind, if it can be done If your heart is as calm as this autumn water, you may really be able to hear God's call.
Daocheng Yading, if you don't visit it in person, you won't feel the sacred, mysterious, majestic, empty, majestic, vigorous, simple and wild beauty.
After going down the mountain from Daocheng Yading, we met the driver who had been waiting for a long time, and took us back to the Inn under the stars. After putting away our things, we came to the local restaurant Daocheng Impression Casserole. We had a full meal, 85 per capita.
After dinner, the driver took us to the local Tianjie Yading Performing Arts Center to watch the performance. The multi-talented actors gave us wonderful performances, and also explained the local culture and customs to us. Did the audience burst into applause?
National Highway 318, this is a magical heavenly road
DAY 11: Haizi Mountain - Kazila Mountain - Eighteen Bends of Tianlu - Xindu Bridge - Tagong Grassland - Zangbo Sheyou Pavilion
West Sichuan Seda, Daocheng Yading tour is coming to an end. When preparing to return to Chengdu, there was another night of heavy snow on the evening of the 29th. On the 30th, when I passed Haizi Mountain and Litang from Daocheng Yading all the way, the scenery was beautiful and completely new.
Snowpiercer, a dream journey.
Depart from the "Under the Stars" inn in Daocheng at 7 o'clock in the morning, passing through Haizi Mountain and Litang, and passing through the highest altitude of 4718 meters in this tour, Yajiang Kazila Mountain, enter National Highway 318, and pass through "Eighteen Bends of Tianlu".
I have experienced the four seasons of Daocheng Yading in one day, thank you for the parting gift you gave us, goodbye, ice and snow Daocheng, Travel on the road.
Thanks to Ira Murakami for painting me such an exquisite makeup, it is really rare to have such a high level on the bus with continuous S-curves.
After lunch, stop briefly at Tagong Grassland (3700), view Muya Golden Pagoda, and overlook Yala Snow Mountain (5800).
Arrive at Xinduqiao Town, stay at Zangbo Sheyouge Inn in Xinduqiao Town, Kangding, have a drink of highland barley wine with simple dishes, and enthusiastic Tibetans will perform songs and dances for everyone at night. In the evening, it will be settled at the local Sichuan restaurant in Xinduqiao, 27 per capita.
DAY 12: Zheduo Mountain - Kangding - Luding Bridge
Good morning, Xichu Zhedu.
Shivering in the Zheduo Mountain at -6 degrees below zero, Jinlian picked up a hundred-yuan bill in the thick snow, and she was really overwhelmed.
Today, I set off to return to Chengdu and passed through Kangding on the way. A familiar Kangding love song gave this small town a romantic atmosphere.
The previous article "Flying over the Luding Bridge" in the primary school textbook is still impressive. The swaying chains and the rushing water make the people who pass by tremble uncontrollably. I was trembling, but I could only bite the bullet and take a step to cross the river.
Tickets for Luding Bridge: RMB 10 for adults and RMB 5 for students
Lunch was settled in a small local shop in Kangding. It was delicious and cheap, and I was very happy to eat.
The pea jelly is 7 yuan, and the fat sausage bean curd is 8 yuan.
After returning to Chengdu, we ate Chuan Chuan Xiang again. We ate hot pot all the way, but we didn’t have enough. After dinner, I bid farewell to my little friends. After seeing off everyone, the 11-day trip to West Sichuan was over. Everyone embarked on the return train with full of memories and tired bodies.
postscript
The last stop of the journey - a warm home. After enough waves, we are finally going to Qingdao, and we can make appointments at any time. Thank you brothers and sisters for taking care of me during the trip, it is really a pleasure to meet you all. The rivers and lakes are not over, we will meet later.
I have seen the turbulent torrents of the turbulent waves, the mountains that tower into the clouds, the ancient trees that stand for a hundred years, and the monks who sing the lights day and night. It seemed so insignificant. I have always believed in the law of energy conservation, that God will treat all beings equally, luck is earned through hard work, and misfortune is tempered by suffering. Accept the good and the bad as gifts, and give back a smiling face.
World travel isn't as good as it looks, it's only after you come back from all the heat and embarrassment and you forget about the torture and remember the incredible sights you've seen.
- Jack Kerouac, "On the Road"
