Notice:
Tonight's accommodation is in Dangling Village, Kalza Village or Danba County.
Due to limited accommodation resources in Dangling Village and Kalza Village, we will most likely change our accommodation to Danba County during the National Day holiday. After the front team arrives at Dangling Village, they will need to wait for the rear team to arrive before setting off together. The drive to Danba County is about 2 hours, so the arrival time will be relatively late. If you stay in Danba County, we will arrange a dinner for everyone.

If there is no serious traffic jam, the arrival time in Shuangliu is around 17:00 in the afternoon. In order to cope with the possible risks of traffic jams and other emergencies, it is recommended that you choose flights after 20:00.
