CARLY LYONS

You can always trust the autumn of Daocheng Yading, it's like a fairy tale!

One should visit Daocheng Yading at least once in a lifetime! Go to this place known as 'the last pure land on the blue planet', and see the scenery that purifies the soul. Daocheng Yading is beautiful in all seasons, especially in autumn. The intermingling red and yellow leaves, together with the high mountain meadows, rivers, and glaciers, embody all the fantasies about nature and beauty. It's like a paradise on earth. 💡Before you go, you should know Daocheng Yading is located in the high-altitude Tibetan area, and the severity of altitude sickness varies from person to person. It's best to ensure good rest before going and to take medicine to alleviate altitude sickness in advance. Also, there is a significant temperature difference between day and night, so check the weather forecast, start on a sunny day, and be sure to bring warm clothes, windproof and rainproof!! to avoid catching a cold. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes suitable for hiking!! 🍁Best time• The best season Considering the arduous trekking process, be sure to choose the most beautiful season Come in October-November, when the colors are rich like an oil painting, there is less rain and more sunshine, making it easier to see the snow-capped mountains 🌟Highlight• Yading Highlights Known as 'the last pure land on the blue planet', it has three sacred mountains: Chenresig, Jambeyang, and Chanadorje Explorer Joseph Rock discovered this secret place in the last century and was deeply shocked: 'Under the clear sky before my eyes, stands the unparalleled Jambeyang snow peak, the most beautiful snow mountain I have ever seen' ✍️Route. Route planning At least 2 days are needed, the first day for a short trek of 2-3 hours, low difficulty and low altitude to adapt. The second day for a long trek of 6-8 hours with high difficulty ➡️Short route: Chonggu Temple - Pearl Lake ➡️Long route: Chonggu Temple - Luorong Pasture - Milk Lake - Five-Color Lake ➡️Advanced play: Yading Big Kora, trekking for 5-7 days to enjoy more niche landscapes 🏡Stay- Accommodation recommendation First choice is Yading Village, located within the scenic area, convenient for leaving enough time for the long route the next day, but at an altitude of over 4000m, it's easy to suffer from altitude sickness and there are few guesthouses with basic conditions; Those who fear altitude sickness are advised to stay in Shangri-La Town, at an altitude of 2900m More, but it's a bit far from the scenic area and takes over an hour by car; • ⚠️Note• Precautions ✅I've tried all kinds of altitude sickness medicines to no avail, the most effective is an oxygen bottle! I used about 5 or 6 bottles for the long trek ✅Respect nature, proceed according to your ability. The highlight of Daocheng Yading is the snow-capped mountains, not the lakes, and the most difficult part is the stretch between Five-Color Lake and Milk Lake. If you lack physical strength or suffer from severe altitude sickness, you must stop in time Those with poor physical strength can ride a horse from Luorong Pasture to Milk Lake, about ¥300 per person ✅Prepare food, hot water, and other energy supplements!! ✅Pay attention to sun protection, it's best to prepare sunglasses, hats, trekking poles, etc. ✅Do not engage in strenuous exercise when entering high-altitude areas, drink more water and eat more fruits 🎫Ticket Peak season 4.1-11.30: ¥266 per person, off-season 12.1-3.31: ¥240 per person The ticket includes a sightseeing car, valid for 3 days, Sightseeing car⏰Operating hours: 7:30-19:00, take 1 hour to the place where you take the electric car
