Live Your Best Lives
Zhe Duoshan There is such a line in the movie "Passing by Your World":
"There is a place called Daocheng, and I want to go there with my dearest person, to see the blue sky, the white snow-capped mountains, and watch an autumn fairy tale, as long as it is you in the end."
It is said that Aden, the summer and autumn rice city, not only has magnificent and sacred snow-capped mountains, but also vast meadows, colorful forests and transparent blue oceans. Almost all the most beautiful things on the snowy plateau are gathered here, and all these things make people forget to go back, and this is where the must-check card in this life was born.

Althoughthe trip on the road is not long, there are impressive encounters every day.
Tianquan The ultimate goal of the first day is the afternoon inkstone park. Moshi Park Scenic Area is located at the junction of Kama Village and Zhonggu Village, Daofu Bamei Town, Ganzi Prefecture, about 3,500 meters above sea level, and its most peculiar attraction is the plateau stone forest landscape, known as "the eighth beauty of China's most beautiful landscape avenue".
In the morning, we set off from Chengdu and it was raining heavily. I kept checking the weather forecast along the way, but the weather difference between the mountainous areas and the urban areas of Sichuan is very large, and the tour leader told us not to worry, the weather in the mountains should not rain. Sure enough, when we arrived at Moshi Park halfway through, there was no rain, the mountains were cloudy, and the team leader predicted that it would be cloudy in the mountains. When you arrive at the gate of the scenic spot, there is still a faint sun, which is really worthy of being the western Sichuan of "enjoying Gesang in spring to escape the heat in summer, watching colorful forests in autumn and stepping on snow in winter". The ticket staff of the scenic spot suggested that they go and return quickly, and their prediction was that there would be rain later.
Moshi Park Scenic Area The shuttle bus went to the top of the mountain, crossed the small lawn, and we came to the core of Moshi Park - the stone forest area. The geological formations here look very peculiar: they look like mylonite painted with black paint; With the uplift of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the rocks in the Xianshuihe fault zone are compressed, sheared, crushed, and eroded, forming mylonic rock forests. The stone forest contains beggar's salt, affected by air humidity, light gray and light blue in the dry season, and dark in the wet season, so it is also called "color-changing stone forest", the color changes in the four seasons, the scenery is peculiar, is a major wonder in western Sichuan.
Moshi Park Scenic Area In the stone forest, the donkey friends posed and pretended to be 13, and they all pretended to be very good. Unfortunately, there were unforeseen storms, and half an hour later, a storm began to rain in the mountains, yes, it was a gust of wind comparable to a typhoon. Everyone hurried to the boarding point on the mountain, hoping that the shuttle bus could go up the mountain to support as soon as possible. The strange thing that everyone didn't expect happened, hail fell in the sky, rain hit hail, no matter how thick the skin was, it couldn't withstand it. The hat was blown away, the umbrella was "broken", the rainstorm was soaked, and the hail was beating, and the process lasted for nearly half an hour before waiting for the shuttle bus.
There were not a few people on the mountain, and there were 6 or 7 people standing under my mini sun umbrella, both acquaintances and unknown ones...... The buddy next to him was shaking. After this encounter, the partners of both cars are defined as "friends of adversity", and they are a little disappointed with the supporting services of this scenic spot. After getting in the car, I changed clothes and hurried to the hotel in Xinduqiao.
Thedeepest impression of the second day was the clear sky, blue sky and white clouds, and the straight road leading to the more beautiful Daocheng Aden. In the process, there were also twists and turns, but for those who have experienced the 108 turns of Mount Everest, it is a small scene, and "climbing first and then going downhill" is the summary of this day.
Inagi There are tortuous roads and straight roads, just like our lives, there are good and bad. Here, highway photos are indispensable.
Halfway through, we passed by three snow-capped mountains in western Sichuan: Xian Nai Ri, Yang Mai Yong and Xia Nuo Dorji, which are regarded as the three sacred mountains of Aden. At the foot of the snow-capped mountains, there is a beautiful scenery in a dream. There, there are wide grasslands at the foot of the snow-capped mountains, crystal clear streams, colorful lakes, and a paradise-like Tibetan village, which has been unknown to no one for thousands of years. We still have various shots along the way.
The third day was the most physically demanding, and we aimed at the Aden scenic spot and ran to an altitude of 4700m. Take a 1-hour bus ride from the gate of the scenic spot to the top of the mountain and start a nearly 7-hour round-trip hiking trip (not enough physical fitness, climb slowly).
Aden The first stop after getting off the bus is Chonggu Meadow, there is a circular plank road of less than 2 kilometers to walk, the whole process is flat, not tired. Chonggu Meadow is the starting point of Luorong Cattle Farm, but also the starting point of hiking to Chonggu Temple and Pearl Sea, 15 minutes down is Zha Guanbeng, you can take a scenic bus to the visitor center or Aden Village (be sure to pay attention to the distinction to avoid taking the wrong car). During the hike, I stopped walking with three other donkey friends, and one of them gave up going down the mountain at 1/4 of the way because of the high rebellion. If you are worried that you are not physically fit, you can also choose to ride from Chonggu Meadow to the second stop.
Daocheng Aden-Chonggu Meadow When we came in from the ancient meadow, we encountered the Xiano Dorji Snow Mountain. Xiano Dorjee means "Vajra Hand Bodhisattva", which is the eastern peak of the "Three Lords" Snow Mountain, with an altitude of 5,958 meters, and is the third in the Buddha position of the "Three Lords Snow Mountain". The main peak of the snow-capped mountain is triangular pyramid-shaped, similar in shape to a pyramid in the three snow-capped mountains, winding along the sharp blade ridges on both wings of the snow-capped mountains, the blade ridge is dark shadow on the side of the light, and the lines outlined in the air are sharp and stylish.
Inagi Aden-Xiano Dorgy In Chonggu Temple, we can overlook Xiannairi Peak, a sacred mountain in the direction of the entrance of the Aden Scenic Area. The entire snow-capped mountain is in the shape of a ring-shaped ice bucket sloping, the top of the peak is covered with snow all year round, the top is wide and gentle, and the whole body is soaked with noble temperament.
The second stop is the Luorong Cattle Farm (also the end of horseback riding), where nearby villagers graze. Luorong Cattle Farm is backed by three sacred mountains and is a good place to see the snow-capped mountains. The cattle farm is surrounded by continuous alpine meadows, and in spring and summer, wildflowers bloom on the meadows, which is very spectacular. This is the starting point to the five-color sea and the milk sea, the road during this period is not easy to walk, the local people call this last 1.8Km a desperate slope, the whole slope is nearly 180 degrees, and it is purely by the use of hands and feet to "climb" to reach the top of the mountain (considering that I fell my leg last year, plus the scenic spot with limited physical fitness is close to the point when it is closed, I gave up the last 1.5Km climb).
The third stop, Milk Sea, is located at the foot of Yangmaiyong Mountain, an ancient glacial lake with an area of 0.5 hectares and an altitude of 4,500 meters. Surrounded by snow-capped mountains, the lake is clear and blue, famous for its exquisite and elegant water color, and there is a large glacier above the milk sea. Legend has it that every year when the spring flowers bloom, the lake water will be as white as milk, so it is called the Milk Sea.
Thewater in the milk sea lake varies in depth, and the lake water is slightly black near the shore, light green inside, and then turquoise and translucent blue in the depths. The sun shines on the lake, and the water is as beautiful as a sapperite.
Milk Sea The fourth stop is the Sea of Five Colors. The five-colored sea is between the milk sea, the fairy sun and the yang maiyong. The surface of the five-colored sea lake is circular, the lake water is clear, and under the sunlight, it refracts colorful light, which is very spectacular.
five-colored sea The modern ice valley extends down to the lakeside, and the snow-capped mountains reflect the lake, presenting fantastic colors. It is a famous sacred lake in Tibet, and the Buddhist scriptures praise the five-colored sea of Aden as famous as Tibet's Yangzhuo Yongcuo, and legend has it that it can "reenact history and predict the future". Spring and summer bloom, and it has become a sea of colors. The five-colored sea in autumn adds a new golden yellow, which is also colorful (the last two places did not climb up by themselves, here are the beautiful pictures of donkey friends for reference).
five-colored sea On the fourth day, return to Daocheng from Aden Scenic Area. On this day, we chose to go horseback riding and eat roasted whole sheep at the horse farm. The horses here are not on a leash, and they bring their own protective gear on the horse. Riding to the grassland, climbing to the top of the mountain, and going through the woods for about an hour, fortunately, the horse was still obedient, except for stopping to graze in the woods, the rest were quite docile.
Inagi Horse farm is also a place to eat roasted whole sheep in the evening, which takes 4 hours, and after riding down, we rest in the tea room. The donkey friends went out to take beautiful photos, and I walked the baby and dog outside the door.
The two children in the racecourse are very simple and not afraid of life at all. The two of them kept making a fuss about taking pictures with my phone and watching Ultraman animations. During this period, the three of us played together with Ling Ra (the name of the puppy), and when we left, we were a little reluctant and asked me when I would come again, and I said when you grow up.
Roasted whole lamb, the taste is not bad. 6 people eat 1 roasted whole sheep, and they don't finish eating, and they eat all kinds of ghosts and animals in the process, and the picture is not up, for fear of hatred.
Shangri-La Stay overnight in Shangri-La Town. The starry sky in Daocheng is so beautiful.
Inagi City 
Inagi Recommend [July Cafe], the owner's shop has a funny parrot and a very personal Garfield, where you can have a drink and blow water with your friends , and the evening breeze, it feels pretty good.
Shangri-La The destination on the fifth day was to go to Hailuogou to soak in the hot springs. Because of the rain, I didn't go to the mountain, and I ate barbecue at night, and the taste was average, so I skipped it here.
On the sixth day, we returned to Chengdu from Hailuogou, and here we would like to praise the team leader Lao Fan this time, we thought of checking in at the Litang Archway, and took a special detour in combination with the demands. The sun is very good here, there are a lot of people, and it is not easy to catch a car and a quiet time.
Chengdu Back in Chengdu, I separated from my donkey friend, and had a hot pot with an old colleague I hadn't seen in 6 years at night, and my people changed a lot. I have to say that Chengdu's hot pot is really spicy, and the sour plum soup can't dilute the heat in the taste buds.
The next night's flight, luggage storage, experience the subway to Kuanzhai Alley. I remember the last time I came to Kuanzhai Alley to play was in 2016 with my colleague Xiao Pan, and I asked her if she still had any impressions, but people were about to unload and give birth to babies, and time was really cruel.
Kuanzhai Alley Drinking tea and watching dramas in the teahouse in the alley, I couldn't resist the young lady's instigation and took a set of "stills".
Eat snacks, walk around, and it's time to go back to the hotel to pick up your luggage and go to the airport.
Daocheng Aden This road is quite smooth except for hail climbing the sea. Daocheng Aden, I have been here.
Attached is a passage from Zhang Jiajia's "Passing by Your World":
Shaoguang is too good, no matter how you walk by, you will be disappointed.
Youth is too short, no matter how it burns, it is a delay.
Happiness is too far away, no matter how you run, you have to stop.
It is better to scribble and put on clothes, plant flowers all the way, indulge in wine all the way, and write your own sentences in the clear water and green mountains.
Looking back in the depths of the white clouds, I was studying on the top of the mountain when I was young.
Me, is it just like that?
