It's a pity to only use Kangding as a resting point when traveling in Western Sichuan
D1️⃣ Deyang-Ya'an-Kangding
Leave in the afternoon, it takes 3.5 hours from Deyang to Ya'an, taking the Chengdu Economic Circle Expressway from Shifang West, with fewer cars and no traffic jams🚗
Ya'an to Kangding takes 1.5 hours, it's quieter to stay in the new city.
D2️⃣ One-day tour in Kangding
Morning
🏔 Mugecuo, half an hour's drive from Kangding county to Mugecuo
Play time 3-4 hours (see the previous article for specific strategies)
Sunshine, blue sky, white clouds, and snow-capped mountains, it's like stacking buffs!!
⚠️ If you're not just staying in Kangding and want to continue deeper into the area, personally, I think this spot can be skipped. There are free plateau lakes all along the way.
Afternoon
Coffee shop➕ stroll around the city for a check-in. The bustling places are basically in the old town area, where you can even experience high-altitude clubbing at the Singing Castle.
D3 Kangding-Chengdu
About food and drinks🫵🏻
📍 Ya'an Barbecue Fish Restaurant🐟
For the sake of the treasure sword, I ate the Ya fish, which Ullala also had. The signature dish is the barbecue meat, a bit salty if eaten too much. The Ya fish tastes good, tender with many bones. The treasure sword is in the fish head, ask the owner if you can't find it.
📍 Mugecuo 3780 meters freshly ground coffee☕️
It is indeed freshly ground
📍 Shujiuji Yak Meat Mushroom Soup Hotpot🍲
Opposite to the King of Mushrooms Mansion, a yak meat hotpot found by chance, delicious😋
📍 Drive Coffee☕️
Next to the Love Song Square, nicely decorated, but with limited seating, so go early.
📍 Pull–Tab Coffee☕️
Takeaway, waterfall coffee, looks good and tastes good
📍 Ram's Yak Yogurt🍼
Add less sugar to the yogurt otherwise it will be very sour, you can add many kinds of toppings, tasty
📍 Highland Barley Restaurant🥣
I really liked the beef blanket, the pancake is fragrant and sweet, with beef and vegetables inside, very delicious‼️ But for the mushroom sausage dish, I only ate the mushrooms, the sausage wasn't meaty, it was more like barley cake, a bit... indescribable. Overall, the environment is good, but the prices are a bit high.
Three days and two nights, countless trips to Western Sichuan, this is the first time I only stayed in Kangding. Mainly because it snowed heavily under Zheduo Mountain on the day of arrival, the road conditions were bad, and safety was the priority.
During the three days in Kangding, only the second day was without rain, so, everything is up to fate. In Western Sichuan travel, weather definitely comes first, as long as the weather is good, beauty is everywhere. If the weather is bad, the scenery will be greatly discounted.
Yoliu City is located in the old street of Jiangjunqiao Yoyo City, Kangding City, Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan Province. It is an antique pedestrian street. The name is derived from the city of Kangding in the love song. It is also the most comprehensive street in Kangding City for eating, drinking and playing. There are two large prayer wheels in the small square, and there are always people going through the prayer all day. The whole street is antique and there are many Tibetan specialties: cafes, restaurants, bars, the lights of the city at night, and tourists dance and entertain.
Yoliu City is scheduled to be in the center of Kangding City. It is an ancient architectural street. I did not verify whether it is an old building or a new building. Out of Yoyo City is Kangding River and Love Song Square, which can be played until the evening.
Yoliu City is located in the bustling area of Kangding's main city, with convenient transportation. This is a commercial and cultural tourism area built on the mountain. It is large in scale. There are many merchants settled in, with enthusiastic service and moderate consumption.
How good I was to Kangding before, especially the widely-sung [Kangding Love Song], it was really deeply rooted in people's hearts. Unfortunately, this time I passed by Kangding and went to eat a meal, which made me have no interest in this place. About ten o'clock, I arrived at the first snack bar and just opened the door. Ask can eat? The boss (female) looked at me a few times and didn't speak. I asked again, the boss (male) said impatiently, what to eat! Okay, so fierce, can't I go? Then the second one I went to Li jelly, still very fierce, and I was not allowed to take pictures, to grab the mobile phone. Okay, okay, bullish!
A good line for self-driving tour in Yoyo City, beautiful scenery, pure natural scenery, no high reaction, it is time to test the body, and it is inseparable from the usual exercise, the price is super high, a good choice.
One of the must-check-in places in Kangding, just a commercial street.
