DAY 1: Chengdu → Kangding (2-hour drive)
✨Zheduo Mountain Viewing Platform: Walk above the sea of clouds, don't forget to try yak meat skewers for energy

DAY 4: Yading Scenic Area in-depth tour
💎Five-Color Lake + Milk Lake: Must wear waterproof hiking boots! Weather changes rapidly
‼️Hard-earned advice: Round trip takes 8 hours - pack enough snacks but don't litter

DAY 5: Daocheng → Litang (4 hours)

【Important Notes】
1. Daily drives exceed 4 hours - bring neck pillows and motion sickness medicine
2. Sun protection essentials: Sunglasses + hat + sunscreen - high-altitude UV is no joke
3. Limited accommodation facilities in Tibetan areas - recommend bringing toiletries and sleeping bag liners
