Daocheng Yading Nanny Level Guide

6 pictures take you to see the pure land on earth! ✨ 💡 3 must-see soul tortures before departure 1️⃣ When is the best time to go? From April to May, you can see the reflection of the snow-capped mountains 🌊, and from September to October, you can see the golden meadow 🏞️, but from May 1st, the scenic spot (milk sea, five-color sea) will be open only! 2️⃣ What’s the most convenient way to get there? ✈️ Air: Direct flight to Dacheng Yading Airport (4411 meters above sea level, get oxygen before landing!) → Airport bus to Dacheng County Town (1 hour/30 yuan) → Carpool to Shangri-La Town (1.5 hours/50 yuan). 🚗Driving: 2 days from Chengdu (4000 yuan/car including fuel toll), route: Chengdu → Kangding → Xindu Bridge → Litang → Daocheng. 3️⃣ Where is the best place to feel? ✅ Shangri-La Town: 2900 meters above sea level, recommended "First See Art Hotel" (oxygen supply + Tibetan design) or "ACE Holiday Hotel" (butler service + underfloor heating). ✅ Yading Village: 3900 meters above sea level, suitable for early the next day into the scenic spot, recommended "Mofan Star Hotel" (Tibetan style + Rizhao Jinshan observation room). 🌄 3 days 2 nights classic itinerary Day 1: Adaptation to plateau response + roaming around 📍Zunsheng White Pagoda: Turn the pagoda to pray for blessings (secretly tell you: it's great to take Tibetan style photos here!) 📍Jubchaka Hot Spring: Soak in the plateau wild hot spring ♨️ to relieve fatigue. 🍽️ Food recommendation: Tibetan pork barbecue (crispy on the outside and tender on the inside), mussel chicken soup (lung-moistening artifact). Day2: Short tour of Aden Scenic Area ⏰ 7:30 queue at the entrance of the scenic spot (sightseeing car 120 yuan / person must buy!) 📍Okiguji Temple: A thousand-year-old temple at the foot of the snow-capped mountains (avoid the crowd and shoot ethereal blockbusters). 📍Pearl Sea: The reflection of Mount Sennoi is really beautiful📸, 3950 meters above sea level, 2 hours of slow walking is stress-free. ⚠️ Warm reminder: There are only cup noodles / home cooking in the scenic area. It is recommended to bring your own chocolate + beef jerky. Day 3: Long-term Challenge! Milk sea + five-color sea ⏰ 5:30 Take an electric car from Okinu Temple (80 yuan/person one way) → Lorong Cattle Farm (the best viewing point of Yangmaiyong Snow Mountain). 🚶 Hiking Route: Lojun Cattle Farm → Milk Sea (5 km/4 hours) → Five Color Sea (1 km/1 hour). 💡 Lazy benefit: Ride a horse to the milk sea (300 yuan / person, need to make a reservation 1 day in advance). 📸 Photo spot: Bird's eye view of the Five Color Sea (photographs with a wide-angle lens will be even more beautiful!) 👗 Outfit guide 🔸Essential equipment: rush suit + fur-grabbing inner tank (morning and evening temperature difference 20 °C), hiking shoes (non-slip!), sunglasses + sunscreen (UV super strong). 🔸 Photography artifact: red / white scarf (super bright in front of the snow mountain), ethnic style shawl. ⚠️ Life-saving precautions 1️⃣ High anti-aircraft first aid: ✅ Drink Rhodiola rosea oral liquid 7 days in advance, do not shower after arrival! ✅ There are free oxygen inhalation points in the scenic area, Okinu Temple, Lorong Cow Farm, seriously unwell immediately down the mountain. 2️⃣ Environmental Convention: ❌ Please do not pick flowers and plants, and please take the garbage with you (cows will mistakenly eat plastic bags!) 3️⃣ Ticket Reservation: Peak season (April-November) tickets are 146 yuan, book 3 days in advance on the "Dacheng Yading Scenic Area" public account, secondary admission to the park 60 yuan ticket. 🎁 Avoid Easter eggs 1️⃣ Don't buy expensive oxygen bottles: Shangri-La Town Pharmacy ¥30/can, selling ¥60 in the scenic spot! 2️⃣ Horse riding tips: The horse gang from Loving Cattle Farm to Milk Sea is limited to 300 horses per day. It is recommended to queue before 8am. 3️⃣ Weather forecast: Please pay attention to the "Dacheng Yading Scenic Area" public account, heavy rain / wind weather may be temporarily closed. 🌟 Words for the brave “The eyes are in heaven, the body is in hell” – this couldn’t be more apt to describe Aden Inagi. But when you stand by the five-colored seaside and watch the reflection of the snow-capped mountains ripple on the lake, all the fatigue will disappear. On this journey, you reap not only the beauty, but also the challenge and growth of yourself.
