Live Your Best Lives
To get to Daocheng, there are now two ways:
1. Charter a car in Chengdu or follow a tour group, and hand over the journey to the master. The advantage of this is that you can visit some of the attractions on the Sichuan-Tibet line, and you can slowly raise the terrain by car and help everyone adapt to the plateau environment. The flaw is that it takes a long time, and it will consume energy and physical strength when playing, and lack of energy can easily cause altitude sickness.
2. Transfer in your own city through Chengdu, Luzhou, Chongqing or Xi'an, and take a plane directly to Daocheng Airport. The advantage of this method is that it saves time and effort, and the disadvantage is that the cost is relatively high, and it is easy to cause altitude sickness when you reach the plateau all of a sudden.
You can choose the way to reach Daocheng according to your time and needs.
Note: If you take a plane to Daocheng, you should pay attention to book a hotel in advance as much as possible, contact the hotel before going, and then charter a car to the hotel. The price of a chartered car is generally about 400-500 yuan, if there are few people, you can carpool with others, and if there are more than 4 people, you can charter a car. Don't do any airport buses, airport buses are unreliable. We waited for 1.5 hours on the airport bus, waited for three flights, and were full before leaving. What a waste of time! Also, the airport bus will actually take you to buy oxygen and titanium, not to mention that oxygen is expensive, and it is a waste of time. We arrived at Daocheng Airport at 10:30, and when we arrived at the gate of the Aden Scenic Area, we were about to cry until more than 4 o'clock in the afternoon!
If you choose to go by car, you must pay attention to choosing a safe chartered car company or travel agency, China-TravelNote is a good choice to get a van, although it is more expensive but safer. And if you have enough time, you can arrange the time in 4 days and don't go too hastily.
You can choose from three locations to stay in Daocheng:
1. Daocheng County: The altitude is about 3,700 meters. The advantage of living here is that it is very close to the airport, there are more living facilities in the county, the accommodation conditions are better, the prices are relatively cheap, and the food and accommodation are more convenient. The disadvantage is that the altitude is relatively high, and people are prone to discomfort and altitude sickness. And it is far from the attraction, if you live here, you will need to take about 3 hours by car to the attraction the next day.
2. Shangri-La Town (formerly Dezhiwa Township): The altitude is about 2,900 meters. The advantage of this here is that it is relatively close to the attraction, and there is a tourist center above Shangri-La Town. You can take a bus directly to the visitor center in the morning to the attractions of Daocheng Aden. And this is the lowest altitude among the three places, which is not easy to cause altitude sickness, and about 3,000 meters should be suitable for most people. And life and consumption are more convenient. Of course, there are also flaws, that is, the entrance to the scenic spot here is very close, but there is still about 1 hour and 20 minutes of mountain road drive to the rain collapse, if you plan to enter the Aden scenic spot for the second time, it still takes courage to challenge the 2-hour round-trip mountain road drive.
3. Aden Village: The altitude is about 3,900 meters. The advantage of living here is that it is very close to the attractions, and it only takes about 15 minutes to take a battery car to reach the rain shower. Friends who need to enter twice or three times may have to choose here. Of course, there are flaws here, there are many hotels in Aden Village, but they all belong to homestays, and the accommodation conditions are not very good. And the altitude is the highest, which is easy to get altitude sickness. The attraction is very unfriendly to tourists pulling boxes, and we arrived at the place where we were taking the car from the door, and there were two flights of stairs to carry the box. When you first arrive at the plateau, it is not suitable for strenuous exercise, but it forces you to do streary exercise. In addition, the prices here are also very expensive, about 100 yuan per person, so it is not a place to live for a long time.

1. Be prepared to resist high reactions, start eating rhodiola 5 days in advance, and bring glucose.
2. Relax and adjust your mentality before going to the plateau, and don't worry too much.
3. Do a good job of physical exercise, because you need to climb on the plateau, and you should adjust your physical condition.
4. If possible, choose a time to go and choose a sunny day to go so that you can see the snow-capped mountains.
Get ready, pack your bags, and we can set off for a walk-and-go trip!
DAY 1:
Due to the epidemic, the preparation for this trip was not very sufficient. After doing the final work of the semester, packing up and starting the journey. There was not much time, so we chose to fly directly from Chengdu to Daocheng.
During the two years of the epidemic, I haven't taken a plane for a long time, and I found myself at the airport with a little strangeness, and I have a sense of awe for the plane again. This year, I came to the airport a lot earlier, passed the once familiar procedures, and came to the waiting hall, waiting to board the plane. At this time, the sun quietly set on the horizon, and I can't remember how long I haven't watched the sunset at the airport. This feeling is very different from the feeling of watching the sunset in many natural scenery, the airport is originally a parting place, watching the planes take off and land against the golden background, giving people a warm feeling.
Finally, it's time to board the plane, epidemic prevention requirements, and now you have to sit on the plane to clean your hands. Catering is not a good choice on a closed plane, and this time, there is no food on the plane. Fortunately, I didn't spend much time on the plane, and I soon arrived safely in Chengdu. The hotel chosen for the transfer is not suitable for choosing a hotel in the city area, choosing a hotel in the Shuangliu area. Hotels near the airport are generally included in the airport, Chengdu is a large transit city, and the service of hotels near the airport is very mature. After taking your luggage, call the store, and then wait at Gate 5, and the master will come to pick you up at the hotel soon. After arriving at the hotel, you can go back to your room with peace of mind, have a good rest, and accumulate energy for tomorrow's challenge. Because, our destination is Daocheng Aden.
That in Hilton's novel "The Vanishing Horizon", the ideal country that embodies the ultimate fantasy of mankind. As early as when I was reading the book, I was extremely familiar with the contents: those beautiful scenery "quiet valleys under the blue moonlight, colorful forests, large lakes, not only mysterious, but also full of religious peaceful atmosphere"; Imagination of Daocheng Temple "A colorful pavilion snuggles tightly on the mountainside. It is definitely not the eerie and annoying artificiality of the Rhineland Castle, but is skillfully embedded on the cliff with a petal-like delicacy and elegance, which is rich and elegant."
DAY 2：
I got up at 6 o'clock in the morning and received a not-so-good rest, and the plane was delayed. After discussing with the store, I left a little late, and after boarding at the airport, the plane flew quite fast, arriving in Daocheng 20 minutes later than the original time.
As soon as I got off the plane, the cold air from the plateau immediately hit my face. This is the highest airport in the country, and when you get off the plane, you must pay attention to all your actions and not be too fast. Of course, the airport is also very intimate, and there is a changing room in the arrival hall to make it easier for everyone to wear clothes to keep out the cold. We sat in the arrival hall for a while, changed our clothes, and got on the airport bus outside. The master of the bus was also very considerate, constantly reminding us of the things that should be paid attention to in the plateau, and said that we could listen to the introduction of professional doctors for a while. When we tell him that we have all crossed the Sichuan-Tibet line, we will be very well-behaved and will not move around. He ignored us and talked to other passengers instead. What followed was a long wait, and every time I asked the driver when he would drive, he would say that he would be able to drive when the next flight arrived. It wasn't until an hour and a half passed, and after 12 o'clock, the driver finally drove the car out of the airport slowly.
When we arrived at the entrance of the airport, the car stopped and we could take a photo on the highest airport sign. The marker building marks the airport at an altitude of 4,411 meters, and everyone can leave a souvenir.
After about half an hour of driving of the car, the master parked the car near the red grass wetland, and soon a person in a white coat appeared under the car, and the master said that the car should be disinfected here, please get out of the car to understand the common sense of the plateau. At that time, we knew that this might be a shopping spot, and the thought at that time was: "Why are there shopping points on airport buses!" "I thought about taking the opportunity to go to the bathroom! As a result, the bathroom still has to be paid, speechless!
Finally got on the bus, at this time we were already a little worried about whether we could get to the hotel before the attraction closed, because our hotel was in Aden Village, if the attraction was closed or the sightseeing bus was not open, we would not be able to get to the hotel. After more than 2 hours of mountain roads, we finally arrived at Shangri-La Town. Since the master said that he would send us to the tourist center of the attraction at that time, I don't know how another airport bus terminal appeared, and the master drove the car to the bottom of a slope and said that it was at the station. When we get out of the car, the first thing we have to face is the challenge of dragging our luggage up a big slope. The feeling at that time: uncomfortable, I want to cry!
I used all my energy to drag my luggage up the slope, but I took out my mobile phone to check, and there were still more than 400 meters to reach the visitor center, and we finally had no way to go, so we took a taxi for 50 yuan to arrive at the visitor center. (In fact, 50 yuan is really a pit)
Finally arrived at the visitor center, bought the tickets, and a new challenge appeared. We need to tow the box to the parking point of the sightseeing bus. A slope that is not too big and a two-story high step. In fact, we have done all the taboos of the plateau, so it is easy to have altitude sickness. I got on the sightseeing bus and went up the winding mountain road, and as the terrain climbed, I felt like I was getting motion sickness. There may also be a little altitude sickness, maybe mainly around the fainting. After almost an hour of driving on the mountain road, we finally arrived at Aden Village Station 2.
Finally settled in the hotel, the feeling of needle in the head appeared, and we were experienced and immediately rested in the room and slept for a while. After adjustment, I finally spit it out and feel much more comfortable. In fact, when you arrive at the plateau, almost 4,000 meters away, it is normal to have a little altitude sickness, don't worry too much, don't be afraid because of the reaction, relax, and naturally it will be much better. As long as you can sleep that night, you will be comfortable the next day.
When you get here, you must move slowly, walk slowly, eat slowly, and try not to take a shower on the first day. These activities are aerobic, and doing these activities requires consuming your oxygen, and doing these things can easily cause altitude sickness. After eating, you can go back to your room to sleep. If you feel a headache and can't sleep, you can drink some glucose or eat some rhodiola.
DAY 3:
After a good night's sleep, altitude sickness is much less when you wake up. The hotel has a buffet breakfast, but the so-called buffet breakfast is very simple, only porridge side dishes, steamed buns, milk.
After breakfast at 9 o'clock, we set off, got on the battery car, along the winding mountain road, the car sent us to the rain flood, there is a well-equipped post station, there is hot water, toilets, massage chairs, book bars, etc., all the facilities are available. Of course, we didn't have to stop here, we walked slowly up a steep slope, and it took about 20 minutes, stopping 3 times along the way, to the second station. Here you can take a battery car to Luorong Cattle Farm, or you can cross the bridge to Chonggu Temple and take a half-way route. It was too late today to board the Milk Sea, so we decided to do an adaptation training first and walk halfway to the Xiannai Observatory to return. The facilities of the second post station are also very complete, with hot water, toilets, and canteens. You can take a break here and start again.
In fact, you can see the ancient temple at this station, and if the weather is good, you can also see the Xiannai Ri Snow Mountain behind it. However, at this time, the rain in the sky was getting heavier and heavier, and we could only put on our raincoats and continue to move forward, passing the front end of the Chonggu Meadow, and we could walk to the Chonggu Temple.
Chonggu Temple, "Chonggu" means "filling the lake and building a temple". Legend has it that the eminent monk Quejie Gongjue Jia mistakenly worshipped the sacred mountain for life, promoted Buddhism and built a temple here, angered the gods because of the groundbreaking and digging stones, and the cave disaster came to the surrounding people, and leprosy was prevalent. But Jie Gong Jue Jia Cuo recited scriptures and cultivated Buddha all day long, exerted his magical power, and begged the gods to bring disaster upon him and avoid the disaster of the people. His act of mercy touched the gods and the people were safe, but he died of madness. Now, the spiritual bones of Quejie Gong Jue Jia Cuo are still buried in the monastery he built, and the monks of the temple incense and chant scriptures every day to commemorate his great merits. However, the temple was badly damaged, leaving only a small scripture hall, which was slightly lonely, and the Buddha statue of Shakyamuni was enshrined inside, still fragrant with Zen fragrance.
After leaving Chonggu Temple, take a detour of 400-500 meters along the plank road (of course, this part of the journey is not easy to walk, we walked for about 1 hour), and you can walk to the Pearl Sea (Dolmala is wrong). Along the way, there are gurgling water in the mountains and lush trees along the way. The scenery is very good, while walking and admiring and resting, the eyes are indeed in heaven, but the body is very tired, plus on the plateau, every walk has a break.
After "a lot of hardships" and "long journeys", he finally came to Zhuomala Cuo. "Dolma" means "fairy, mother"; "Cuo" means "lake, sea", so Dolmara Cuo is also called the Crossing Mother Sea, which is the soul lake of Bai Du Mu on the left side of Xian Nai Ri. The water in the lake is formed by the convergence of ice and snow meltwater from the Xiannai Snow Mountain, so the lake water is turquoise and shining silver in the sun, which may be why it is called the Pearl Sea. However, the sun did not come out today, the rain had stopped, and the lake was relatively calm, without turquoise, but it could be reflected in the snow-capped mountains in the distance.
But luckily, we can still see the Xiannai Ri Snow Mountain in its entirety today. The trickle of snow marks on the snow-capped mountains slowly converged into this sea and became a mirror of the snow-capped mountains.
Leaving Zhuomala Cuo, we walked along the plank road through a green meadow, and the blue meltwater on the snow-capped mountains slowly flowed through the grass and red flowers, reflecting the snow-capped mountains in the distance. With gurgling water under your feet and a cool breeze around you, sit down and slowly appreciate and feel slowly, and you will feel the tranquility of Buddhism.
After passing the meadow, we continued towards the Xiannai Day viewpoint, and after walking for a while, a small pavilion appeared next to the plank road, and it was already 1 p.m. We thought about taking a break here and solving our lunch. When he put down his backpack and was about to take out his things, he suddenly heard a rumbling sound behind him. Then we heard the screams of the people around us, and we immediately turned our heads and found a white "smoke" on the top of the snow-capped mountain behind us, and a word appeared in my mind - avalanche.Yes, there was an avalanche on the Xiannai Snow Mountain, first a large piece of white snow collapsed, forming white smoke and dust, and then the ice and snow flowed down the mountain like mud and stone, making a roaring sound, like thousands of horses galloping, unstoppable. From a distance, you will feel the power of nature, and up close, you can only produce fear.
Once, I saw the principle of this avalanche in some literary works: this is the wrestling between snowflakes and gravity, the snowflakes want to attach to the mountain, but gravity (gravity) has to pull the snowflakes down, when the snowflakes accumulate thicker and thicker, the effect of gravity is getting bigger and bigger, the snowflakes can no longer stay, Under the action of gravity, the snowflakes fall.
This reminds me of the sentence: This loneliness is as huge as a glacier on the eternal permafrost belt outside, piling up higher and higher in the snow and wind year after year, never melting, getting higher and taller, sharper and sharper. But one day, when the weight of loneliness exceeds its limit, it will collapse and the avalanche will swallow the whole world. This is actually a description of loneliness by others, in fact, ten thousand years of ice, ice and snow on the snow-capped mountains should actually be a kind of loneliness ! Of course, for us, this is a small surprise on the journey!
Local people are actually very afraid of avalanches, and avalanches actually prove the embodiment of global warming. Locals have clearly realized this year that the number of avalanches on the snowy mountains has increased, and the snow on the snowy mountains is getting less and less.
After a shocking baptism, we didn't eat lunch, cleaned up, and started again. In about 30 minutes, you will arrive at the Xiannai Day viewpoint. This is a platform in the mountain hollow, where you can see the snow-capped mountains up close, of course, the weather is not very good today, cloudy, you can't see the snowy peaks under the blue sky, and the white peaks are also looming, which may have a different flavor.
This is the first snow-capped mountain we saw after coming to Aden, the Xiannairi Snow Mountain. With an altitude of 6,032 meters, it ranks fifth among Sichuan's extremely high mountains and is the snow-capped mountain in the middle. The surrounding mountains are like huge lotus petals surrounded by the fairy day. It is said that the mountain in front of the fairy day is the Vajra Xuan Mother, the snow peak on the right is White Tara, the left is Green Tara, and the many snow peaks next to it are the Fragrance Mother and the Miaoyin Fairies. The Miaoyin Fairy played the sound of nature, which spread to the hell valley behind the fairy day, and the sinners in hell were able to alleviate their pain and get out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible after hearing the immortal law.
Tibetans believe that the snow-capped mountain is a sacred mountain, and the day of immortality represents "Guanyin Bodhisattva" and is synonymous with compassion. The white snow is her fluttering fairy sleeve, and the white snow slowly sliding down the mountain, although she doesn't hear the sound, is like a whispering Sanskrit sound, which needs people to listen quietly.
The way back is 1.4 kilometers, stop for a while, do not need to return the same way, the return road is relatively flat, we also try to walk a little faster. It took 4 hours to come, and it took a little more than 2 hours to come back. On this day, we went down the mountain around 4:30. Finally, let's look back at the beautiful Sennohi Sacred Mountain!
There is still a way from the rain flood to the battery car boarding point, and the drop-off point here is next to the station, but you have to walk a little down to get on the bus, maybe for diversion! Of course, the attractions are also more intimate to make some popular science for everyone. The journey is about 100 meters, and there are signs along the road introducing the wildlife of the Aden region. On this road, there are also lively monkeys accompanying everyone all the way.
I returned to Aden Village at 5 o'clock, it was not yet dark, the rain was clear, the clouds and mist slowly dispersed, and the Xiannai Ri Peak and Chonggu Temple in the distance showed their tips and outlines, which could also be seen in the hotel. Hurry up and finish eating, and hurry up to rest, tomorrow is a serious challenge. We discussed climbing to the five-colored sea tomorrow.
DAY 4:
Today, we are facing a serious challenge. We are ready to have breakfast at 7 o'clock today and leave at 8 o'clock. As a result, the hotel didn't start breakfast until half past seven, and there was nothing until half past seven, waiting for the boss to bring things out. It seems that this is indeed not as early as we want to be. Finally, we finished breakfast at 8 o'clock and set off at 9 o'clock.
Along the original road to the rain collapse, the steep slope climb began again. After yesterday's adaptation training, we reduced the time to climb the steep slope by 10 minutes, and soon arrived at the ticket point for the sightseeing bus. The round-trip ticket is 80 yuan, after buying the ticket, we got on the sightseeing bus, and the master said that it would take about 20 minutes to get to the Luorong Cattle Farm. Along the way, we saw the scenery of the meadow, which was actually quite beautiful, looking at the relatively gentle plank road below, we met tomorrow in the third battle of Daocheng Aden - from the plank road to the Luorong Cattle Farm.
This section of the road was indeed relatively flat, and we didn't receive any bumps, so we arrived at the parking lot of the Luorong Cattle Farm. There is also a service station here, and it is a large service station, where you can have hot water and a buffet! Moreover, the restaurant is also a waiting room for battery cars, which is more convenient and can also shelter from wind and rain. Let's sort it out here, record this time point at 9:45, and start our journey.
I didn't expect it! A section of the Luorong Cattle Farm is more than 1,000 meters, and to the second post station, this is the post station of the Horse Gang, where passengers can ride the horses of the Horse Gang to help you walk a while. (To be honest, this section of the road is very important, as long as you can get the number, you should ride as much as possible.) Horseback riding is 300 yuan, if the walk is about 2 hours) We saw many people queuing, so we didn't ride horses.
Walking forward along the plank road, a section of the road is quite gentle, and the scenery is also good, and the main thing to see is Yangmaiyong Snow Mountain. Yang Maiyong is the most beautiful of the three snow-capped mountains in Aden, and I heard that its shape is very peculiar, and the outline of the peak is like a sharp sword pointing straight to the sky. Yang Maiyong represents "Manjushri Bodhisattva", a symbol of wisdom. The landscape combination of Yang Maiyong is indeed very wonderful, the hanging valley glacier is distributed at the waist of the cone-shaped snow peak, the triangular inverted stone piles are lined up along the snow line, and the curtain-shaped waterfall formed by the meltwater of ice and snow below flows straight into the forest, and the rumbling sound can be heard within four or five kilometers. The watering of glacial meltwater also breeds forests, meadows and streams under the snowy peaks. Of course, today we do not see the true face of Cihe's snow-capped mountains. But every time we turn a distance, the snow-capped mountains will appear in front of us, sometimes on the grass, sometimes before the reflection of the water waves, no matter which form is beautiful.
The weather is cloudy today, and the snow-capped mountains are always looming. Maybe it's because of the different angles, but the reflection can actually reflect the top of the snow-capped mountain, so let's take a peek at the beauty of the snow-capped mountain on the calm lake! In fact, I have seen the solemn snow-capped mountains under the blue sky, this form of holding the pipa half-covered, but there are also different highlights.
Half an hour later, the plank road was broken, and we were going to walk the same road as the horses. Since then, I have smelled strong odors along the way. (The plank road is being built hard, and if it is a little later, the plank road should be relatively complete.) After walking for 1 hour, I saw a sign on the road, and finally the owner came, and a section of the road went straight up, with a height difference of 500 meters. There was also a post station before the start of this section, but this station was also an observation deck, with no facilities, only a few toilets in a row.
We didn't make any more stops here and planned to spend the 500 meters in a hurry, but the road was longer than we thought, and we could only stop and go according to our physical strength. And along the way, there were some talc areas, the signs said not to stay, and they were not at ease when resting. After 1 hour, I finally let myself pass this section of the road and walked to a post station again. Again, it is very simple, but it is finally a shelter from the wind and rain on the plateau. And this is a place where many people who want to climb to the top can stop and inquire about the news and determine the route.
After replenishing energy, I began to head towards the sea of milk, and after about 45 minutes of walking, I arrived at the sea of milk. This section of the road is relatively gentle, and if the weather is good, you can also enjoy the snow-capped mountains along the way. This road is really in heaven, but this point is almost more than 4,600 meters above sea level, so you should still be careful not to walk too fast.
Finally, it's time for the sea of milk. After arriving, you need to rest for a while before you start taking pictures, because taking pictures really requires oxygen.
Milk Sea, also known as Luorongcuo, is an ancient glacial lake, shaped like a drop of water, surrounded by snow-capped mountains, the lake water is clear and blue, and the mountains are waterfalls, which are famous for their exquisite and elegant water color and emerald blue. The milk sea is in the shape of a scallop in the mountain hollow of Yangmaiyong, with blue snow water in the middle and a circle of milky white surrounded by this circle of milky white, which is roughly the origin of the name of the milk sea. The edge of the sea is filled with patches of meadows and broken leaves, soft, like a green flannel, carefully caring for this gem. The meadow is surrounded by hard stone walls and sand and gravel beaches, which are particularly cold.
Snow mountains are a very mysterious place, and there are always beautiful legends under the snowy mountains, and this place is no exception. Legend has it that a long time ago, the longevity fairy of the five long-lived fairies on Mount Everest, Tashi Ze Renma, came east to visit her aunt Goddess Gongga. She traveled all over the snow-capped mountains, and one day she came to the back mountain of "Dentona" (Horse Racing Mountain) to play, and was very happy to see the pleasant scenery of the lake and the towering green mountains and attractiveness. So the colorful arrows were placed on the east side of the sea, and the flame cornucopia was placed on the west side of the sea. In an instant, the sea was filled with colorful colors, and the sea was named "Five-Colored Sea". Later, Tashi Zerenma fell in love with Guo Dashan Shen Dangjing Dorjilepa, and both turned into golden ducks and played in the five-colored sea. On the night of the fifteenth full moon, the pair of golden ducks swim out of the water to hit the waves, and the lake is suddenly full of glow and colorful.
Of course, the clouds and fog are too heavy today to see the beautiful snow-capped mountains. However, the mountains on all sides against the blue lake are also quite beautiful. Maybe I don't have the opportunity to see the lake! I remember that when I walked the Sichuan-Tibet line before, I walked through Yanghu Lake, which was also covered by clouds and fog, and I rarely saw the true face of the snow-capped mountain goddess on the lake. However, I will see the different beauty of the snow-capped mountains.
The plateau is still not suitable for long-term residence, on this plateau of more than 4,000 meters, everyone must not stay too long, when they first came up, there was no big reaction, but after half an hour, the oxygen in the blood in the body will be consumed, and staying too long can easily cause altitude sickness. We played for a while to replenish our energy and left.
while climbing , Be sure to pay attention to your physical strength and leave enough physical strength to go down the mountain!The straight upward journey just came up, although it won't be so panting when it goes down, but after all, we can't roll down the mountain! On this day, we finally took the battery car at 5:45 to the rain collapse, and at 7 o'clock we took the car back to Aden Village, and it was already about 7:30 when we returned to Aden Village. Of course, in summer, at this time, the sky is still bright.
DAY 5：
I heard that today is a relatively leisurely journey, because yesterday I saw a flat road. So we had breakfast at 8 o'clock and went out at 9:15. It was already 9:45 when the rain collapsed, and the tour group was almost here. Fortunately, we are completely out of the ordinary. There are few people on the boardwalk, and the scenery along the way is good.
I never expected that the plank road would not be easy to walk! The battery car is only 20 minutes away, and it turns out to be 5 kilometers. On the plateau, we can only walk slowly, and yesterday's behavior of draining all our physical strength is even more impossible to take a step. We first passed through the meadow, which is what we often call the wetland landform, and met a lot of small animals along the way back - squirrels, birds, brocade chickens, etc., and we had friends who said that we went to the safari park by ourselves. It's a fun experience to interact with the animals while enjoying the view, and you can feel their kindness and agility.
Then follow the water upwards, listen to the sound of gurgling water as you walk, pay attention to the scenery on the opposite side, and feel a little busy. Suddenly, a friend shouted, "Hey! There are deer. See! Is it a deer! We all looked over and saw a black and white leg on the other side. Probably frightened by our surprised voice, it quickly hid in the bushes, and we couldn't see it. Let's observe here and we can only go.
After two and a half hours, we finally saw the prayer flag in the distance, and we all breathed a sigh of relief, and there was finally hope. At this time, we finally saw the last snow-capped mountain of the Three Lords - Xiano Dorji Snow Mountain.Shano Dorjee represents the "Vajra Hand Bodhisattva", the so-called Vajra Angry Eyes, as a Bodhisattva guarding the Buddha, represents strength. Its main peak is triangular pyramid, and its shape is closest to the pyramid, winding along the sharp blade ridges on both sides of the snow-capped mountains, the blade ridge is dark shadow on the side of the light, and the lines outlined in the blue sky are sharp and stylish. Beneath the snowy peaks are alpine flowstone beaches formed by the cracking and collapse of glaciers, and below are golden alpine scrubs and primeval forests made of firs.
Legend: Once upon a time, a giant python broke into the Gongga Mountains and devoured the livestock and pilgrims in the mountains. One day, the Vajra Hand Bodhisattva came here, he stretched out his giant hand and grabbed the giant python's head, and the giant python twisted around the bodhisattva's neck, and after a fierce struggle, the bodhisattva finally subdued the giant python and turned it into a rock.
To the left of the snowy peak is the scenic spot of the Sixteen Venerables. In fact, it is naturally weathered by the rocks on the mountain. This is a scenic spot that is often overlooked, in fact, the sixteen venerables on the cliff are lifelike, and I have to admire the magic of nature. The sixteen venerables have lifelike forms such as meditation, looking back, looking up, turning sideways, and thinking. If we simply drive through this place, we may not be able to see this attraction again.
After walking through a straight plank road, we arrived at our destination, Luorong Cattle Farm. There are no cows in the cattle farm now, but the horse gates of the horse gang will graze here after work. Here, you can also see many beautiful little birds. According to the sign, there are also cute earthen rats here, but unfortunately there are not many of them, and we didn't have the chance to see them.
Because we have to rush to Shangri-La Town below today, we decided to go down the mountain at 2 o'clock. And I chose to take a car down the mountain, the one-way ticket is 50 yuan, and you can buy a ticket at the post station where you got off yesterday. The magical thing is that when we were about to leave, the clouds cleared and the fog dispersed, and the snowy mountains of the three lords gradually showed their true faces. We quietly admired this looming sacred mountain at the post station. Whether a bodhisattva or not, the snow-capped mountain is the greatest deity in Tibet and an exciting presence in the sky.
Reluctantly bid farewell to the snow-capped mountains, returned to Aden Village, took the luggage, and got on the sightseeing bus and went down to the tourist service center. Along the way, we can see the snow-capped mountains against the background of the blue sky, and we are indeed shocked by this snow-capped mountain.
We took the car back to the visitor center and contacted the driver to pick us up, but we once again felt that the attraction was unfriendly to the tourists. After getting off the bus, you actually have to walk a flight of stairs to have an escalator. Fortunately, the journey went smoothly after that. When I arrived at the hotel, I found that this Shangri-La town was really good, the hotels were quite Tibetan, of course, the grade was not very high, and I used feelings to support it.
The prices in Shangri-La Town are indeed not very high. We decided to eat mushrooms today and found a long-established restaurant. We found that there are many shops in Yunnan in this small town in Sichuan, and many stores will make cured pork ribs. And I heard that the fungus was also transported from Yunnan. With a delicious meal, we end our pleasant journey.
