Itinerary: 7 days

Traveling partner: my own sister

Full cost: 5000/person


(Because it is a supplementary travel note, I only remember the approximate details of some expenses.)

Here again, it is not recommended to resign and travel naked, and it is not recommended for those who have never had travel experience (not with a group) to come and go as soon as they say, there is not so much gloom, and there is no poetic charm of beautification, life is still the same Life, travel is just a part of life, it can be embellishment, a kind of laziness, or charging, it is by no means a reason to escape, not at any time.


As an overtime dog, most of the trips will choose the night flight after work later, one is to save time and go out to visit the scenic spots, and the other is that the night flight is relatively discounted, this time is no exception, carry luggage to the company, and get off work I took the subway directly to the airport with my luggage. Because I arrived in Chengdu around 11:00 p.m., I booked an inn near the airport in advance and added 20 yuan to book the pick-up service.

After struggling with my old lady for a long time, I nodded and went with me, running the very popular "passing through your world" and "going to Daocheng Yading", I asked the solo traveler I met in Zhangjiajie before and formed a team together My little friend, he suggested that the next 7 days is not enough time, and finally recommended a friend who is a tourist, let me ask her to see if there is any good advice, Ge Zi (in October of the same year, two people who have never met The Harbin team formally met and became good friends), an independent and brave girl, recommended their company’s Seda four-day tour. At that time, I didn’t know much about going to Seda, and even heard of it for the first time. , I searched the Internet, and when I saw the red house, I was attracted, so I had this journey.


Shenzhen - Chengdu

DY1

I fell asleep and woke up naturally. After getting up, I dragged my luggage and found a hot pot restaurant nearby for lunch.

Then go straight to the hotel booked the next day to put your luggage (next to Du Fu Thatched Cottage),


【Du Fu Thatched Cottage】

It takes only five minutes to walk from the hotel. There is no special strategy for visiting the scenic spots. The rainy weather,

Stop and go, it took about 2-3 hours to transfer out. I didn't take any photos on rainy days, and the photography skills at that time were very ordinary.


【Jing Li】

After transferring out, I took a taxi directly to Jinli, went shopping, found a teahouse, and went in to see the face-changing scene.

By the way, I booked a one-day tour of Dujiangyan on the second day at the tourist station. I probably remember that the cost is 220.


For dinner, I went back to the hotel and found a hot pot.

The hot pot in Chengdu is not too cost-effective. It only costs less than 150 for two people to eat until they are full.


DY2

【Dujiangyan】

A great water conservancy project,

Woke up early in the morning and headed straight to the meeting point. The journey is quite long. After driving for about two hours, we arrived at Dujiangyan. At this point, it is best to prepare some food. The food in the scenic area is not delicious and expensive. .

【Wide and Narrow Alley】

After returning to Chengdu, I turned around Kuanzhai Alley in the evening.

I was too tired, so I wandered around for a while and didn't take any photos. In fact, it is a snack street similar to Jinli, and I didn't particularly attract anyone.


DY3


The tour guide of the small group contacted in advance to notify the meeting point in the morning of the next day. The tour guide said that he should try not to bring any luggage, but only bring toiletries and a change of clothes next to him. The suitcase is entrusted to the front desk of the hotel, which is the most regrettable thing. I have worn a set of clothes for four days without changing them. I will be as sloppy as possible in the next few days. I have refreshed my dislike for myself. How ugly, whether you are traveling with a group or driving by yourself, you still need to bring all the normal supplies. You must bring a thermal water bottle, and you can also bring food, especially fruits. Bring some candies, sweet ones are good for alleviating high reactions discomfort.


There are 17+ people in the whole group,

I met a senior donkey friend, brother Hongfei, and a three-person team of Youcong, a professional kindergarten teacher from Fujian. Because of similar living habits, in the next few days, the few of us basically huddled together, sharing meals, sharing rooms, and interacting with each other. take care of.


【Guanyin Bridge】

After gathering, the bus all the way went into the mountain road and set off. In the afternoon, we arrived at Guanyin Bridge and transferred to the local minivan to the mountain. This is an additional fare.

It’s not that the locals really dare not drive on such a steep mountain road. They are afraid to sit in it. The slope is curved and there is no guardrail beside it.

The altitude is about 3000. Climbing the stairs is a very torturous time. Take one step and rest three steps.



That night, I stayed at Guanyin Bridge and formed a team with friends from Fujian to have dinner together.

The local residents are still very simple and sincere,

Probably because I have been hungry all day, the uncle in the small shop next to me looks like he is staying behind, and there are few tourists usually. He is very happy to see us entering the store. The light in the kitchen is relatively dim , the first plate of green vegetables fried by the uncle was mushy, and the kind friends just smiled. The eldest sister from the shop next door came over and saw it, and hurried to help fry the remaining fried pork with garlic sprouts. The rice served was rotten. Yes, I secretly rummaged through the bags with my friends and put them in the backpack. After I came out, I found a trash can and threw it away. The uncle didn’t seem to be doing it on purpose. He was also eating the rice from the same pot. , The second is that we are afraid that if we don’t eat it, the uncle will put it away and keep it for himself.

The pancakes and green vegetables are also full. If I remember correctly, this meal is only 30+.

My little friend suggested that I can buy some cakes and eat them in the car tomorrow. The uncle was very happy to hear that, saying that he would get up early tomorrow and get ready.

I walked around and bought some fruit. There were really a lot of wild dogs walking around us. I was scared to death. I went back to my residence early. Fortunately, the local residents saw that we were afraid and helped us drive them all the way.

【Seda Buddhist College】

After staying in the car for a long time, it began to snow when we entered the Seda area. The tour guide said that we were lucky, and this was a welcome for us.

Before entering the Buddhist Academy, the tour guide took us to have lunch at a roadside restaurant.

After lunch, the tour guide asked us to pay an extra fare to take us to see the sky burial,

Although it is sacred, I can’t accept it physically and psychologically. It can also be said that I am afraid, so I wandered around the celestial burial platform, and ran back to the parking lot alone before the celestial burial started. Stay in the car with the driver and guide caught.


After the celestial burial, the tour guide took us to the Buddhist Academy,

That night, I stayed in a hotel at a relatively high location of the Buddhist Academy, with an altitude of about 4300+. In fact, it is recommended to live in Seda County if possible, where the conditions are relatively better.

(The following photos are partly from peers.)

After the car arrived at the station, it took a long way to arrive at the hotel. It took another step and three steps to rest. The restrooms in the hotel are public, there is no shower room, and there is a room for four people. My sister and I and the three-person group from Fujian , the natural teaming,

Dinner was settled by five people having instant noodles in the hotel,

In the evening, I went to the Temple of Heaven to turn Jinglun. The tour guide said that since I came here, it is recommended to turn it. This means praying for blessings.

The high-reverse discomfort makes it extremely uncomfortable for us to walk normally.

We still insisted on turning 9 times. The passing lama saw that we couldn't turn anymore, so he ran to us and helped us turn around.



It is said that the night view of the Buddhist Academy is very worthwhile, indeed it is very worthwhile, but there are no street lights along the way, and there are potholes. The five of us walked in a group, and there were wild dogs along the way. I was really scared.


After arriving at the destination, I stayed for two minutes and then went back.

Hearing from the tourists behind that someone was bitten by a dog, our group walked back tremblingly, and groups of wild dogs chased and barked. Fortunately, we met Jim on the road. She drove the wild dogs all the way and sent us to the canteen. Where the lights are on.

It is impossible to take a bath at night. My friends wash their faces and then rest. In the middle of the night, the discomfort of high fever becomes more and more obvious. I get up and sit up to sleep, and I can’t breathe when I lie down. Another friend from Fujian is in the middle of the night. When I got up, I couldn't vomit, and the difficult night passed.



DY5

It was finally dawn, and the small shop next to it said that it could cook noodles for us.

In the process of cooking noodles, I met an uncle who had been staying at the Buddhist Academy for half a month.

It seems that he has a successful career. He said that he would come to the Buddhist Academy for one to two months every year, and he would follow the lama to take classes and practice every day. It would be a place that would calm people down. He also recommended some very beautiful scenic spots for us to visit. We were really physically exhausted, and the discomfort of our companions became more and more obvious, so we chose to eat and walk down the mountain slowly.


After gathering, we set off for the return journey.

Another mountain road with 18 bends, with cliffs and streams on the left and high mountains on the right,

Another night in the middle of the trip, the Guangdong stomach has been full and hungry for the past few days, so I found a youth hostel next to the place where I lived, and asked for extra money to help cook some porridge (rice mixed with water, just boiled)

But also super invincible satisfaction,

The hot water in the place where I stayed at night was not stable. It was the third day I hadn’t showered. My sister couldn’t help it. In a place with sub-zero temperature, there was only cold water at the beginning of the shower. The next day I had a cold and felt uncomfortable.

I can't stand my stinky/ugliness anymore. In the past few days, when I go into bed, I can't stand the cold without turning on the electric blanket. When I turn on the electric blanket, the smell comes out, and even the clothes I wear are so sour.


DY6

【Chengdu】

It was another day of staying in the car and rushing. I had an appointment with my friends from Fujian to have a dinner after arriving in Chengdu and have a cheerful hot pot. Because my sister was not feeling well from a cold, we both rushed to the hotel to pick up our luggage and leave. I went to the inn where I stayed at the airport for the first night. I still ordered takeaway at night, which was not very tasty, but I took a super comfortable bath, and the bath lasted for an unrivaled length of time.

Because of the time constraints, I hurriedly said goodbye to my colleagues. The three friends from Fujian went directly to Jiuzhaigou the next day, and they have been sharing with us in the group.

(I just carry this image and still have a taste. I have been disgusted by Invincible for the past few days. I am too invincible.)


DY7

After sleeping until I woke up naturally, the old lady felt a little better, we had no intention of moving at all, so we ordered another super invincible and delicious takeaway, and rushed to the airport at noon,

After returning to Shenzhen, my brother picked us up. The first thing we did when we got home was to occupy the washing machine, and the box was full of stinky clothes.



About Notes:

Smoking and meat are not allowed in the Buddhist academy, so if there are friends with meat, they must be dealt with before entering. If they are discovered, it will be a terrible thing.


Most of the stops are relatively short of water. Most of the drinking water in the Buddhist Academy is brought back bucket by bucket after traveling a long distance.


After I returned, another little friend drove into the Buddhist academy by himself. I admired her courage, but at the same time I was very worried. If you are really unfamiliar with the road conditions, don’t drive in rashly. The frequency of car accidents is very high, and the passing cars are not Pedestrians are almost rare, and it is difficult to find help if something really happens. On the second day after we came back, the tour guide said in the group that there was a landslide on the road and the car was hit.


Most of the lamas and Jim in the Buddhist academy don’t like tourists taking pictures. When they see the camera facing them, they will subconsciously avoid them. When they see such a situation, they feel that the arrival is an interruption.


The restrooms along the way are dug a deep hole in the ground and then set up two wooden boards, and there is no water to wash hands, so try to bring wet tissues, and there is a fee of 1-2 yuan to go to the toilet.


Wear sunscreen, the ultraviolet rays are very strong.

Try not to order fish in restaurants. Most restaurants don’t have fish as an option. Except for sky burials, there are water burials in some places.


Try not to go out at night, except that there are many wild dogs, there are still customs in Tibetan areas, and the tour guide also specifically told us not to go out at night, and she can't help if something happens.


It’s good to go with a group, and the tour guide will also share the cultural habits of the region along the way. Isn’t traveling just to experience life?


I went with an outdoor group this trip, but the food was not included, so I shared meals with my friends with the above, but the food didn’t cost much, but when I was with the group, I could really negotiate the price. , We have reported 580 or 680 per person. The small partners in the group seem to have reported 480 per person. There is also a young lady in the group who has reported the cost of 2000+. The accommodation is actually the same, without any The difference is that when you report to the group, others will tell you what the difference is. You just need to ask how many rooms it is. These days, the night when I came to the Buddhist Academy was a 4-person room. I stayed in the other two nights. It's a double room where my sister and I live.


It is said that the Buddhist Academy is in the process of renovation, because the houses are all made of wood. Cooking and electricity are all in one house. There was a fire before and burned many houses, so it will be slowly transformed into a house made of cement. , Unified planning, when we were there, some parts were already being demolished and rebuilt. I don’t know what it will be like when we go next time.


The body is in hell, the soul is in heaven.

This is true. After we have acquired living habits in the city and moved to a completely different place, the process is very difficult, and some people find it very difficult. However, this trip did make me have many regrets, and I did not have a good experience. Walking around is a choice made based on the instinct of physical discomfort. When I return, I feel that there will be a chance to do it again.

When we do it again, we must be well prepared, feel it well, experience it well, and it won’t be so hasty and embarrassing~
