In everyone's short life, there are always a few places where you fall in love at first sight when you learn about it by chance. Aden, a legendary holy place on earth, an isolated paradise, a colorful wonderland on earth.

Some people say that Daocheng-Aden is "the last pure land on the blue planet". It was first discovered by the American explorer Joseph Locke, who arrived in Aden in 1928 and published the photos he took in the National Geographic magazine, which caused a huge sensation.

Later, British writers James and Hilton were inspired by Locke's adventure stories and wrote the novel "The Vanishing Horizon", which made Aden so famous that some Westerners still think that this is the legendary "Shangri-La".

Luorong Cattle Farm

Luorong Cattle Farm is one of the most famous accommodation places in the Aden Scenic Area, at an altitude of 4,150 meters, it is an alpine pasture grazed by nearby villagers, where herds of cattle and sheep enjoy plenty of sunshine, green grass and pure lake water.

Travellers on long distances can choose to camp here or pitch their own tents. Snowy peaks, forests, meadows, streams, lakes, waterfalls and ranch cabins complement each other.

Milk Sea

Milk Sea, also known as Russian Rongcuo: an ancient glacial lake, shaped like a water droplet, with an area of 0.5 hectares, surrounded by snow-capped mountains, clear blue lake water, and a waterfall on the mountain, famous for its exquisite and elegant water color emerald blue, and there is a large glacier above Russian Rongcuo.

The milk sea looks from a distance, as if the blue is embedded in the snow-capped mountains, pure and peaceful. Pure water gives a peaceful and tranquil state of mind. And Lan Zhanzhan's sea is not transparent, it seems mysterious.

Immortal is the sun,

the whole body is soaked with noble temperament. The peak is covered with snow all year round, and its mountain shape resembles a big Buddha leaning back, proudly sitting in a lotus seat, holding a huge pagoda in his arms.

When the weather is good, the whole mountain is so clear that it is reflected on the lake, and the reflection is so real from a distance, as if there is really a fairy day underwater.

Chonggu Meadow

Chonggu Meadow is the U valley mouth of the U-shaped valley of Aden's large glacier, which was originally a glacial dammed lake, because the glacier lake at the foot of Xian Nai Ri broke the embankment and washed away the lake here, which formed the landform as it is today.

This is also a must-pass place to Chonggu Temple, the foot of Xiannai Ri, and to the Holy Water Gate and Luorong Cattle Farm.

Pearl Sea Pearl

Sea is the closest scenic spot to Aden Village, about half an hour's walk from the grassland of Chonggu Temple. The Pearl Sea, known as "Dolma Latso" in Tibetan, is a sea formed by the melting snow of Xiannai Day.

area is about 0.1 square kilometers. Around the lakeside, ginseng is like a screen, in spring the lakeside rhododendrons bloom brilliantly, and in autumn the forest is dyed, reflecting the colorful world, which is dazzling all year round.
