Daocheng Yading｜Challenge the ultimate journey of "eyes in heaven, body in purgatory"⛰️

Want to go to Daocheng Yading to challenge yourself and see "the last pure land on the blue planet"? This guide will teach you how to avoid pitfalls! Although I was so tired that I doubted my life, the moment I saw the Milk Sea and the Five-Colored Sea, I really felt that everything was worth it😭

Must-haves before the trip: equipment + physical fitness

• Anti-altitude sickness: Take Rhodiola rosea 1 week in advance, bring oxygen tablets and glucose! Daocheng County is 4000+ meters above sea level, don't run and jump after getting off the plane, slowly adapt~

• Outfit: Bring all four seasons of clothing! During the day, there is sun to sweat, and at night it is so cold that you shiver❄️ Down jackets, jackets, and non-slip hiking shoes are essential!

• Others: Sunglasses, high-power sunscreen, moisturizing mask (warning of dry skin peeling⚠️), trekking poles and knee pads can also save lives!

Recommended route: Do what you can

• Easy version (short route): Zhaguanbeng → Chonggu Temple → Xiannairi Mountain → Pearl Sea, the whole journey takes about 3 hours, suitable for those with average physical strength or severe altitude sickness. The picture of the sacred mountain against the Pearl Sea is super shocking!

• Hell level (long route): Zhaguanbeng → Luolong Cow Farm → Milk Sea → Five Color Sea! Take a sightseeing bus + hike 10 kilometers, the altitude soars to 4,700 meters, the second half is all steep gravel roads 😫 But when the blue Milk Sea hits your eyes, you will really scream!

Accommodation Tips

• Accommodation: It is recommended to stay in Shangri-La Town (low altitude) and enter the scenic area the next day; Yading Village has a beautiful starry sky, but the risk of altitude sickness increases greatly.

• Food: Order butter tea and yak beef noodles at a roadside shop to warm your stomach! Remember to bring Snickers and self-heating rice, as the food in the scenic area is expensive and scarce🥲

In short, Daocheng Yading is a place where you will regret going there and regret not going there even more! The moment you succeed in the challenge, you will be the coolest guy in your circle of friends🌟 Hurry up and make an appointment, go!
