Of course, travel is a difficult existence. The peerless beauty in your eyes may be just an inconspicuous roadside scenery in the eyes of others, and instead of being swayed by second-hand information, it is better to experience it yourself.

So, I decided to go to Daocheng Aden to find out. At this time, I had been driving in Tibet for more than half a month, and I planned to stop by Daocheng Aden when I returned to Chengdu.

Considering the time and physical fitness, I chose to give up the nearest Pearl Sea, The main attack is the milk sea at an altitude of 4,600 meters and the five-color sea at 4,700 meters.

the day of Daocheng Aden, I got up early in the morning, caught up with the first scenic bus to arrive at the Aden management office, and while others were still immersed in taking pictures after getting off the bus, I quickly turned on the walking mode and quickly got rid of the large army by walking briskly and trotting.

Although I was exhausted in

the second half and was basically in a state of taking two steps and resting one step, fortunately, I was the first tourist to arrive at the Milk Sea and the Five-Colored Sea that day, and enjoyed the beautiful scenery of being alone for a while.

To sum up, the scenery of the western Sichuan Plateau, which eats by the face, has nothing to say, if it happens to catch up with the good weather in the good season, Daocheng Aden is also a very eye-catching place.

Of course, I also understand all the complaints about Daocheng Aden on the Internet, so I would like to talk about some of the "abuses" of Daocheng Aden from another perspective based on my personal experience.

First Abuse: A Devastating Hiking Trail

Many friends who have been to Daocheng Aden have a community meeting, that is, the hiking here is too tiring and abusive. Indeed, if you want to visit Daocheng Aden as comprehensively as possible, it is indeed a very hard job.

Excluding the buses and battery cars in the first two hours, we started from the Luorong Cattle Farm at an altitude of 4,150 meters, and from here we started to hike to the farthest five-color sea and milk sea, not only over the mountains, but also 5 kilometers in the high-altitude area, which is 10 kilometers back and forth, especially the second half of the almost straight up and down steps, even on the plains is a big challenge.

In addition, hiking in Daocheng Aden will also face road conditions, some sections are not very easy to walk, and there are even no plank roads. If you encounter bad weather, it will be even more muddy.

Of course, the supporting facilities in the scenic spot are still in the process of continuous improvement, getting better every year, and it is said that the cable car is also being planned.

The second abuse: the visual gap of the changing scenery

In addition to hard work, the changeable weather in Daocheng Aden is also a headache, and the plateau and mountainous areas are cloudy and sunny, especially at an altitude of more than 4,000 meters, and the weather forecast does not work here at all.

Therefore, whether you can enjoy the best state of Daocheng Aden depends on whether God appreciates your face.

And Daocheng Aden is basically a place supported by scenery, without any cultural history, such as several sacred mountains and various "seas" in the scenic area, all of which can highlight the charm under the reflection of the sun. If you happen to catch up with the five-colored sea under a cloudy sky, you can only see the "one-color sea" 80% of the time.

So, if the weather conditions are not ideal, the landscape and colors of Daocheng Aden may be very different, Changing visual effects can greatly reduce the experience of the whole trip.

The third abuse: the gap in the heart after the killing

Thinking back then, Daocheng Aden was simply a mess, and many travelers were thinking about it, just to see the true face.

In addition to the promotion of film and television works, Daocheng Aden had inconvenient transportation in the early days and did not have too much human intrusion, which made it retain a very original natural style and also achieved the style positioning of Daocheng Aden's paradise.

But objectively speaking, in terms of scenery, there are still many places of the same level in China, especially in Tibet, Xinjiang, and Qinghai, Even in Yunnan, similar landscapes are not listed one by one.

However, due to the pursuit of the media and public opinion, the public has subtly shaped an ideal Daocheng Aden, and most tourists have obviously too high expectations for this place before going to Daocheng Aden.

In addition, many tourists are not fully prepared for the arduous hiking environment of Daocheng Aden before departure, including psychological, and equipment.

After the result arrived, the Daocheng Aden that many people saw may not have reached the height they expected in their hearts, and they ran all the way and tossed and struggled, which caused a certain gap in their hearts.

But then again, although there is this kind of "abuse", isn't this also the charm of Daocheng Aden, How can there be a beautiful scenery for nothing, because it is rare, so it is precious.

Of course, what kind of place and way of traveling you like is purely a personal preference, there is no right or wrong. All you need to do is to put aside your worries, break free from other people's travelogues, and take the first step bravely.
