👇Daocheng Yading travel tips
➡There are only 2 toilets 🚽 along the way. Try to eat and drink less before departure, as it is not very convenient.
➡Bring 2–3 oxygen bottles for the Vajra Challenge Line, they are really useful.
➡At Luorong Pasture, go to the boardwalk stream to check in, where you can also see the snow-capped mountains.

The main attractions of Daocheng Yading are the three sacred mountains of Yangmaiyong, Xianuori, and Xianuoduoji. Although Milk Lake and Wuse Lake are closed, they are still worth visiting!
🌈Half long line:
Take the bus to Zaguangbeng → walk 500 meters to the sightseeing bus station at Chonggu Temple → take the sightseeing bus to Luorong Pasture → walk to Gongga Lake
🌈Short line (hiking):
Take the sightseeing bus to Chonggu Temple Station → Chonggu Meadow → Chonggu Temple → Xinbao Lake → Zhuomalacuo (Pearl Lake) → Xianuori Viewing Platform → Go down the mountain and return to Chonggu Temple Station → Go down 500 meters and take the return bus to Zaguangbeng
⚠️You will encounter monkeys along the way, which are not much gentler than those on Mount Emei. Try not to feed them and be careful of them snatching your bag. If you are lucky, you can also see many wild animals!
