Battery tickets are purchased at the Chonggu Temple battery station, Chonggu Temple to Luorong Cattle Farm is 6.7 kilometers, the distance is too far, if you want to take a long line and save physical strength, you still need to take a battery car, one way for half an hour, one-way ticket 50, round trip 80.

Pre-trip preparations and precautions:

1. When visiting the beautiful scenery of western Sichuan in autumn, non-four-wheel drive vehicles need to bring snow chains to prevent the road surface from icing in the plateau area.

2. You need to be optimistic about the weather forecast, prepare clothes with reference to the temperature, you can wear a thin jacket under the mountain during the National Day, it is still very hot under the sun, but when you arrive at high altitudes, you need to wear a jacket or down jacket, bring a scarf and hat. Wind blows in the plateau area is easy to catch a cold.

3. Bring common medicines, especially cold medicines and antipyretics, preferably special medicines, if you encounter a headache, you can take Haleton, which also has the effect of reducing fever. When hiking on the plateau, you need to bring glucose oral solution (some injections can also be drunk directly, you need to consult a doctor), glucose has the miraculous effect of instant blood recovery, but there is also a limit to the daily dosage.

4. Oxygen cylinders and oxygen bags are sold, purchased according to your physical condition, you can buy oxygen cylinders for backup before hiking, and a small bottle is only more than 20 yuan.

5. Aden long-term hiking needs to bring a sun hat, the sun is relatively strong, you need to bring rain gear (umbrella, raincoat), because you may encounter snow and rain on the way, etc., you also need to wear waterproof and non-slip shoes, because there is a section of the road with running water, you need to wade through the water, although the water is very shallow, but you also have to wet your shoes, and shoe covers are also sold outside the scenic spot, but I personally think it is not easy to walk, Martin boots are a good choice. There are also trekking poles sold outside the scenic spot.

6. There is no place to eat on the Aden long-distance hiking road, you have to solve it yourself, you need to bring your own dry food and water, you can bring a portable insulated water bottle, because the cold air is not good for the lungs to be inhaled, and you need to keep warm. Of course, all materials are still light.

7. If you can't travel by yourself, you can also choose to sign up for a boutique group, where the transportation is inconvenient~
