    "Cheng purchase tickets is convenient and fast. The staff service attitude is very good. After arriving at the station, directly swipe the ID card to take the car to Leidongping. It takes 2 hours to walk for a while. Take the ropeway to Jinding to see the Buddha statue inside Puxian. It is very solemn. The original road returns to Leidongping and takes the car to Wuxiangang. To see the monkey, you have to walk 5-6 kilometers of mountain road, and there is a line of sky and other attractions on the way. Eating is not expensive and will come again."

    "To visit Chengdu, I specially came to Leshan Giant Buddha. Because I took the child, I chose the cruise. The child was very happy to take the boat and eat. I also visited the Leshan Museum. Let the baby have a very meaningful 6.1 Children's Day."
    Leshan.Leshan Giant Buddha
    >100km from Dechang
    Highlights: The Leshan Giant Buddha is located on a rock wall of the Lingyun Mountain at the junction of Leshan's Min River, Qingyi River, and Dadu River in Sichuan. It is a sacred place for Buddhist and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Leshan Giant Buddha depicts a seated image of Maitreya and it is an exquisite piece of cliff-carving work from the Tang Dynasty. The colossal statue is about 70 metres high and over 1,300-years-old, making it the largest stone Buddha in the world, and by far the tallest pre-modern statue. It took an astonishing three generations of craftmen and 90 years to complete. When viewing the tall and majestic Giant Buddha, one cannot help but marvel at the wisdom of the ancients. In the absence of modern large-scale tools, they were still able to leave such a legacy.

    "Milk Sea return journey does not have a substitute tool, although the return journey is beautiful, but the length of the journey exceeds the tolerance of most people is the biggest disadvantage of the scenic spot! When we entered the milk sea, we kept marveling at the scenery along the way. When we arrived at the milk sea and the five-color sea, we felt that we could watch the snow-capped mountains up close. The scenery was spectacular and the price of going up the mountain was very worthwhile. I hope the scenic spot will improve soon."
    Daocheng
    >100km from Dechang
    Highlights: Daocheng Yading, also known as Yading Nature Reserve, is known by locals as Aden Scenic Area. Located in the southern part of Daocheng County in Ganzi Prefecture, it is mainly composed of three mountains, Xiannairi, Yangmaiyong, and Xianuoduoji, as well as surrounding rivers, lakes, and alpine meadows. There are not only magnificent and sacred snow-capped mountains in the scenic area, but also vast meadows, colorful forests, and blue crystal clear lakes. Hiking on foot like the local Tibetans is a better way to experience the scenery in Yading. However, due to the high altitude of the Aden Protected Area, the entire walk still requires considerable physical fitness.

    "Very good, good scenery, large area, suitable for self-driving. The lake is clear, there are many hotels and restaurants, parking is convenient, Yunnan and Sichuan can enter and exit, there are many photo scenic spots by the lake, and the altitude is 2,700 meters."
    Ninglang.Lugu Lake Goddness Bay Scenic Area
    >100km from Dechang
    Highlights: Lugu Lake is located between Ninglang County of Yunnan Province and Yanyuan County of Sichuan Province. It is named as such because it is shaped like a gourd. The lake is about 2,600 meters above sea level and locals see it as a beautiful pearl shining among the hills of the Northwest plateau. The Mosuo people living on the lake are one of the key highlights of the attraction. They are one of the few matriarchal societies remaining in modern world as women play the role of production and management, holding the principal position in society. There is no marriage, men stay in the women's home as mates called 'Axia' and the intimate relationship lasts as long as they like. While on board a local boat, you will notice that the lake is crystal-clear with swarms of seagulls flying over the water. The surrounding scenery is like a painting that is worth seeing at least once a lifetime!

    "A rough understanding of the architectural culture of various ethnic groups, very similar to the window of the world in Shenzhen, many basic services in the park have to spend money not so cheap, it was very tired before, at least 3-4 an hour, but if you soak in it for a day, it is still possible. In addition, there is a distance from Dianchi Lake. There is a car outside but there is still a charge. There is a calligrapher's composition on the boat that can be bought for 200 yuan."

    "It's colorful, bustling, a lot to see and especially beautiful when it's litted at night. The old town is a charming quaint place. Lovely scenic instagramable places with every turn and corner."
    Lijiang.Inside Dayan Ancient Town
    >100km from Dechang
    Highlights: The Lijiang Ancient City is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that has a history of over 800 years. It was an important stopover point in ancient times playing a very important role in the trading activities among Yunnan, China hinterland, Tibet, India and many other neighbouring Asian countries. The town is full of ancient wooden buildings, stone roads, and small bridges. It is the only old city built without a city wall. Standing in the city, you can see the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Several television series were also shot here. The former mansion of the Tusi people (Mu Mansion) and the Naxi ancient music performances should definitely be on your checklist.

    "The south bank of the Tiger Leaping Gorge Scenic Area is the Yulong Snow Mountain. The main peak is up to 5596 meters above sea level, and the north bank Haba Snow Mountain is 5396 meters above sea level. Due to the tight constraints of the mountains on both sides of the Straits, the river is only more than 50 meters wide after entering the Gorge. The narrowest place is the tiger leopard leaping over, so it is called the Tiger Leaping Gorge. The canyon is 80 kilometers away from the downtown area of Lijiang City. The canyon is upstream of the Jinsha River. It is 17 kilometers long and 25 kilometers on the roundabout road. The vertical height difference of the canyon is more than 3,900 meters. It is one of the deepest canyons in the world. Due to the landslide, the current boulders have been left, resulting in more rough water. It is divided into three sections: upper tiger jump, middle tiger jump, and lower tiger jump. The main scenic spot of Tiger Leaping Gorge is upper tiger jump. Lijiang (and Shangri-La) passenger terminals have buses to the scenic spot for two hours. The scenic spot can be played in about 1 hour, and the steps can be down to the canyon in more than ten minutes. The tiger jumping scenic spot, the passage of the Jinsha River is very powerful. The bus can also go to the Tiger Jump on the way, but the Tiger Jump is a hiking route, not a scenic spot, half an hour from the Zhang teacher inn to the canyon, and then climb up for 1.5 hours (or the 168-level ladder climbs up faster), this route will be a bit tired, the scenery is worse than the Tiger Jump, the river is not so powerful."
    Shangri-La.Tiger Leaping Gorge
    >100km from Dechang

On both sides are the snow-capped mountains of Yulong and Haba. The narrowest part of the river is only twenty or thirty meters and with the huge drop, the river flows very rapidly! Tiger Leaping Gorge is also a world-renowned hiking resort visited by many outdoor enthusiasts every year.
