Those who set off three days before May Day to avoid peak congestion,

where are friends? Either you have a baby or you are pregnant or you are decorating the house, so.... Single dog sets off alone;

Items and

clothes: Bring what you need in winter

Medicine: ibuprofen (super effective for headaches) + motion sickness medicine + wind oil essence (remarks: I went on a short trip, so I didn't drink rhodiola in advance)

Snacks: beef jerky + chocolate + spicy, etc. (when going to Daocheng Aden, it really takes physical strength)

Others: sunscreen hat, non-slip shoe covers, trekking poles, thermos cups, sunscreen, scarf, lip balm, Skin care products (especially for facial moisturizing)

route "Chengdu→ Kangding→ Daocheng→ Xinduqiao→ Chengdu", followed the whole process.

4/28: Shenzhen to Chengdu, here you need to praise the 'shenma travel' platform, the service of the driver who picks up and drops off the airport is very good, the pick-up brother also gave me a special introduction to his platform, if it is not for the cooperation of the travel agency, I really haven't used it, after all, Shenzhen uses DIDI more, the little brother who drops off the airport is also very nice, the attitude is very gentle when calling, as soon as the flight number is said, I took the initiative to check the terminal for me, like.

4/29: Take a bus to Kangding, along the way is to watch the basin landform + the second half of the Chongshan, it is a little cold when you arrive in Kangding, you have to wear a coat, and leave for Mugecuo after lunch, anthracene... How to say it? I can't think of a second word besides being good-looking, it's good-looking, forgive me for my scumbag photography skills, O(∩_∩)O haha~.

In the scenic area, a tourist minibus is sent to the top of the mountain, and then from the top of the mountain one stop at a time, 'Mugecuo→ Red Sea Grassland→ the sea is dry and the rocks are rotten→ Omatso →Seven Colored Sea', although I only walked around in Mugecso all afternoon, and the time was actually not enough.

Maybe I was too excited in the afternoon, and I started to have a headache on the way back to the hotel (it should be a high reaction), so I brewed a cup of ibuprofen at night, and forced myself to sleep after drinking it, and the effect was really good, and my body basically recovered the next day.

4/30: Xindu Bridge departs from Litang, basically on the bus in the morning, but the scenery outside the window is really beautiful, people are still and cars are running, it seems that there is a feeling of watching the scenery quietly while walking, I like to see the mountains + blue sky and white clouds the most, just like this, everything is just right.

In the afternoon, I arrived at Litang and visited the Qianhu Tibetan Village in Letong Ancient Town, where I really didn't think Tibetan was good when I watched Tibetan movies, but when the tour guide recited a poem by Cangyang Gyatso in Tibetan, the unique charm of Tibetan came out.

"White crane in the clouds,

please lend me your wings,

I won't fly far,

I'll come back when I go around Litang."

I specially visited the Renkang Ancient House, the birthplace of the Seventh Dalai Lama "Gesang Gyatso" (said to be the reincarnation of Cangyang Gyatso)

That night, Litang drove to Daocheng County and bought three bottles of oxygen + a medicine to replenish energy locally (note: please buy an oxygen cylinder with medical oxygen, the effect will indeed be better, the energy replenishment is not very recommended, it feels no different from chocolate/Snickers and the like), and stayed in Daocheng that night;

5/1: Departure at six o'clock in the morning, because Daocheng County is still 110 kilometers away from Aden, about eight o'clock to arrive at the gate of Aden Scenic Area, the scenic tourist bus from the gate into Aden Village: about 50 minutes, I chose to hike a long line, so I took another ten minutes by car to Luorong Cattle Farm, and officially started hiking at about ten o'clock, trekking poles/oxygen cylinders/self-heating meals/hot water/snacks, etc. were all carried on the same day.

It is not recommended to bring self-heating meals, heavy and occupying a position, the mountain is cold, I feel that I want to sleep after eating, and I don't want to continue climbing after the meal is over.

Luorong Cattle Farm is 4180KM above sea level, Milk Sea is 4600KM, Wucolor Sea is 4700KM, one way is 5.5km, a total of about 11km round trip, and it took less than 6 hours. The water of the Milk Sea and the Five-Colored Sea is really beautiful, but I really don't think it's worth going so far to watch, and after walking such a section, it may be more worth it to walk the mountains and rivers along the way, covered with ice and snow, and the thrill of conquering while taking oxygen.

Return to the hotel on your own that day, the taxi on the road is 5 yuan/person, directly pull you back to Shangri-La Town at the foot of the mountain, and during the group dinner that night, I found that I was the only one at the table who had walked the long line, and everyone else chose the short line or wandered around the Luorong Cattle Farm, and specially took out the video on my mobile phone to circulate and share with them, so lucky, I made it

5/2: The original plan was to enter Aden for the second time, but everyone was tired, so they took a nap and started to return the same way, worshipped the Buddhist hall of the local Tibetan family at noon, and received our young lady's mother to go on a pilgrimage, she said that it is the wish of every Tibetan to measure the distance of faith with her own body, the road traffic is large, and pilgrims will most likely choose to walk through more inaccessible no-man's land or forests in order to avoid being lost under the wheels, and they will not bring electronic products, so they will not send any news back. Her mother left two years ago and has not returned, and the only connection between the pilgrim and the pilgrim's family is that common belief, and sometimes it is really touching to have a strong faith and practice it.

(Photography is prohibited, so there are no photos)

5/3: Muya Holy Land, May is still ice and snowy. The mountains are full of snow, and I think it really took me five days to walk through the four seasons.

5/4: Chengdu returns to Shenzhen, the holiday is over, o(* ̄) ̄*)o great

rivers and mountains, needless to say, and the road to the great rivers and mountains really makes me feel that everything is promising.

The tour guide said that "a person has to come to Aden twice in his life, take the person he loves once, and bring the person he hates once", but ...... I came alone, on the fly, so I didn't come specifically for it, and it stood here, by no means waiting for me to find it, we took a picture of each other on May Day in 2021, and everything was really just right.
