Perhaps in everyone's hearts will yearn to have a pure land, whether it is the soul or the scenery on the road, across thousands of mountains and rivers to pursue, known as the last pure land on the water blue planet Daocheng Aden has become our first choice, if the most beautiful season in Daocheng Aden, it must be autumn, October 25~26, 2018, Xiaochong and I embarked on a trip to Aden and started a two-day journey.

Aden Scenic Area is 110 kilometers away from Daocheng County, it takes about 3 hours by car, from the county seat through Riwa to Aden, the road conditions are good, the scenery on the roadside is very beautiful, all the way to enjoy the scenery and admire all the way, inadvertently to the gate of the scenic spot. There is a small town called Shangri-La Town (originally called Riwa Town) at the entrance of the scenic spot, but this Shangri-La and Shangri-La in Yunnan are not comparable, there are many hotels and inns in the town, and many people choose to stay here, I and Xiaochong looked at the guide map and decisively chose to stay in Aden Village tonight. Punch a card at the entrance of the visitor center.

　　The visitor center to Zha Guanbeng is a 40-kilometer winding mountain road, about 1 and a half hours, carry our small backpack, take a sightseeing bus, 34 kilometers to Aden Village, 6.4 kilometers from Aden Village to Zha Guanben, more than ten minutes to arrive, the sightseeing car can go up and down at any time after passing through Aden Village, which is why I recommend staying in Aden Village. The conditions of Aden village B&B are simple, but they can also meet the requirements of travelers.

After getting off the car, we chose the road on the far right, against the stream up the mountain, all the way is colorful, it is the bright color of golden autumn, the shade of the path, mottled and blurry, very bright and eye-catching Aden.

　　Take pictures, enjoy the scenery, go all the way up to Chonggu Temple, there are two lines in Chonggu Temple, the short line is to go to Xiannai Ri and the Pearl Sea, the long line is to go to milk and the five-color sea, the first day spent more time on the road, chose the short line, and have always had a sense of awe for the temple, we bypassed Chonggu Temple and walked up, full of golden paving, guiding us.

　　I grew up on the shore of the South China Sea at low altitude, the altitude slowly increased, my high reflex came out, I had a headache, I carried oxygen with me, I felt that it was hard to take a few breaths, stop and go, the little insects didn't react at all, envied. Don't underestimate these 1.4 kilometers, it is a long road for people with high reactions. When the gentle and honest Xian Nai Ri Sacred Mountain broke into the field of vision, time seemed to stand still, and the turquoise pearl sea snuggled up at the foot of the sacred mountain, and the years were quiet. Walking slowly around the Pearl Sea, with some holy brilliance, heaven is probably nothing more than that!

Back in Aden Village, we had dinner at a Tibetan house, and the simple villagers also said that we would provide breakfast for tomorrow, the price was affordable and praised. Tomorrow is a long line, the altitude of the five-colored sea is already 4,700 meters, in view of my high rebellion, I decided to ride a horse, the number of horses is limited, I have to hurry early tomorrow morning.

I got up at 6 o'clock the next day, had breakfast, took the sightseeing bus at half past 7 o'clock to Zha Guanben, then walked to Chonggu Temple, took the battery car to Luorong Cattle Farm, and Chonggu Temple to Luorong Cattle Farm 6.7 kilometers, 40 minutes round trip. The Luorong Cattle Farm in the morning is quiet, peacefully welcoming the rising sun, your sea, my mulberry fields, are all here. The handsome and dashing Yangmai Yongshen Mountain watched the Gongga silver sea flow by at the end of the cattle farm, and the youth was flying; The upright Xiano Dorji is silently guarding in the east.

Come to the starting point of the horse gang, pay money to queue up, (note: herders are not friendly to fat people over 85kg in order to protect horses), the number of horse gangs is limited, first-come, first-served, while supplies last.

The herdsmen lead the horses they rely on for their livelihood, their eyes are full of care and love, the distance of 3.5 kilometers, not far, high altitude should not be measured by this number, after the baptism of high rebellion, People have to have a lot of energy, and they dismounted at the Sacrifice Cliff, which was very close to Yang Maiyong, so I took a check-in photo next to it.

　　Touch the two bottles of oxygen in the backpack, start a difficult kilometer, stop and walk to breathe oxygen, this action is repeated many times and then to a fork in the road, here I carefully tell everyone, go to the left to the direction of the milk sea, the slope is gentle, the milk sea has finally arrived, the milk sea that shows its true face is so exquisite and smart, like a sapphire embedded in the snow-capped mountain nest, after ten thousand years.

From the sea of milk to the sea of five colors, exhausted all my energy, walked for 40 minutes at a distance of 300 meters, oh the sea of five colors, I came to see you from a very distant seaside, walking through thousands of mountains and rivers, The eyes are in heaven, the body is in hell.

Standing on the ridge, I found that the Milk Sea and the Pearl Sea were actually separated on both sides, and the world was independent. After sitting on the ridge for a long time, maybe the Pure Land is already in the corner of my heart, but it is blinded by the trivial things of the world, and at the moment of letting go of the burden, it will break through the ground.

two-day trip to Aden, Daocheng, has nothing to do with food, only the beautiful scenery remains in the heart for a long time!

It is recommended to bring dry food or self-heating lunch boxes to replenish energy at any time, and Chonggu Temple has fast food box lunches, and there are high-level oxygen cylinders to carry oxygen cylinders, so you can do what you can.
