Snow-capped mountains and meadows, a fairyland riding area: Under the Yangmaiyong Snow Mountain, there are endless alpine meadows and colorful flowers. Riding through them, the towering snow-capped mountains, the blue sky and the colorful prayer flags complement each other, as if you have entered a fairy tale world; there are also deep canyon cycling routes, along the rushing streams, and exploring the primitive forests. Every step is a step on a beautiful painting.

Safe escort, worry-free riding: Most of the coaches in Daocheng are local Tibetan compatriots. They have been with horses since childhood and are familiar with the temperament of horses. They teach riding skills in a simple and easy-to-understand way before riding, and always pay attention to the rider's status during riding to ensure safety; the helmets and protective gear are of high quality and meet multiple outdoor safety standards such as mountaineering and cycling, and there are special people responsible for checking and wearing, so you have no worries and can ride to your heart's content.

🏔’The Last Shangri-La’🏔

🏔’The Last Shangri-La’🏔

Nestled in remote western Sichuan, Yading nature reserve is known for its holy, snow-capped mountains. To get there you either fly into Daocheng airport (the highest airport in the world at just over 4000m) or take your time exploring western Sichuan by bus before arriving at your final destination of Yading. I would suggest coming by bus as you are at risk of getting altitude sickness otherwise. Once in Daocheng, catch a local bus to the nature reserve, and stay at the hotels inside to maximize your time exploring. After checking in mid-morning, we spent our first day exploring the shorter walk to Pearl Lake. The second day we rose early and made the trek to Milk Lake and Five Color Lake. Even though it was a foggy summer, the views were still gorgeous and the people were aplenty. Bring food as there is nothing available inside (not even hot water so don’t bring noodles). You will spend the entire time craning your neck as you gawk in wonder at the gorgeous mountains and spectacular scenery. #mountainview

Yading Village (亚丁村) - Yading Nature Reserve

Yading Village (亚丁村) - Yading Nature Reserve

3985m asl, 34km away from the town of Shangri-La (Riwa or Xianggelila Zhen). 5th stop of my road trip in Sichuan from Chengdu, after Mugecuo, Tagong, Xinduqiao e Litang (260km away). The small village is hidden between the snow-capped mountains and the forest. There are about 30 households in the village. Yading in Tibetan language means "the land of the sun", which is named after the long sunshine they have. The Village is located inside the Nature Reserve, first arrive at Shangri-La Town, there’s is a very convenient multi floor parking where to leave the car, just next to the Tourist Center. Buy the ticket and a bus will take you to the Yading Village. The Tibetan style Village is beautiful, nice accommodations in local guesthouses, yummy food (quite expensive but everything seems imported from nearby town).

Sichuan Ganzi | Shangri-La Daocheng Yading

There is a line in 'Passing Your World' that says, 'There is a place called Daocheng, I want to go there with my beloved, to see the blue sky, the white snow mountains, the golden grasslands, and a fairy tale of autumn,' that place is known as the 'Soul of China's Shangri-La,' Daocheng Yading. 📍Daocheng Yading is located in Shangri-La Town, Daocheng County, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, situated in the middle of the Hengduan Mountains. The scenery here maintains a near-extinct purity on earth, due to its unique landforms and pristine natural landscapes, with snow mountains, glaciers, canyons, forests, meadows, lakes, and pure air, it is hailed as 'the last pure land on the blue planet'. 🌟In fact, Daocheng Yading is two places, Daocheng County and Yading Village, with completely different scenery. Daocheng and Yading are divided by the 4500-meter-high Bowa Mountain. North of Bowa Mountain is the pastoral scenery of Daocheng County, and south of Bowa Mountain are the three sacred mountains of Yading (Xian Nairi, Shannuo Doji, and Yang Maiyong, representing Guanyin Bodhisattva, Manjushri Bodhisattva, and Vajrapani Bodhisattva). In addition, the Daocheng Yading Scenic Area also has beautiful attractions worth exploring such as Luorong Cattle Farm (Figure 8), Milk Sea (Figure 9, altitude 4600 meters), and Five-Color Sea (Figure 10, altitude 4700 meters).

2023|Travel is the reshaping of life

2023|Travel is the reshaping of life

Among all the entries at the end of the year, I think I want to summarize the story of travel with images, about this thing that reshapes my life year after year. After all, 'at the end of the year, there is a desire for precipitation and silence.' 2023, I still love mountains and rivers, and enjoy traveling through lakes and seas. In the short but brilliant year, I am fortunate to be welcomed by the world. I chased the snow in North Xinjiang, from Sailimu Lake to Kanas, from Hemu to Altay, and walked into the fairy tale in the clear air; I lived in the Shangri-La prairie and spent a quiet good day away from the world; I passed through large and small snow mountains and moved into Yubeng; I spent the charming morning fog of Lugu Lake with lovely seagulls; In early summer, I crossed the sea and set foot on the black beach of Xiapu in Fujian and the lively Bird Island... The journey is joyful, and everything has a spirit. Living in these new scenes different from daily life, I am my complete self. In the new year, 'May all things on earth spend spring and summer safely, and I am strong and brave', we continue to walk towards the world and shape life inwardly.
