Daocheng Yading | Lazy Traveler's Guide

In Daocheng Yading, I encountered a picturesque autumn. The colorful scenery is like a palette of colors spilled on the ground, and every step feels like walking into an oil painting. 🚗 Transportation: You can fly to Chengdu first, and then transfer to Daocheng Yading Airport. There are buses from the airport to the scenic area, which is very convenient. ⏰ Opening hours: The scenic area is open all year round, and the best time to visit is from April to October. 📸 Travel tips: After the bus arrives at [Zha Guobeng], walk 500 meters to [Chonggu Meadow Sightseeing Bus Stop]. There are naughty monkeys along the way, so don't carry plastic bags in your hands. The sightseeing bus costs CNY 70 per person for a round trip, and you can enjoy the scenery along the way. Don't miss [Shengshui Lake], which is a popular check-in spot. You can take a bus to [Luorong Pasture], which is a paradise for photographers. Walk another 500 meters to [Horse Farm], and you can reach [Gongga Lake] at an altitude of 4,200 meters for CNY 200 per person for a one-way trip. Walk back 2 km to [Luorong Pasture], and you can enjoy the scenery while walking slowly and breathing oxygen. If you are lucky, you will be accompanied by squirrels and deer. 🍱 Nearby restaurants: There are many Tibetan restaurants in the scenic area, such as barley cakes, butter tea, yak soup pot, etc., which are warm and delicious. 🏨 Hotel recommendations: Ramada Encore by Wyndham Daocheng Yading near the scenic area has complete facilities and considerate service. If you want to experience Tibetan style, the homestays in Yading Village are the best choice, and you can enjoy the scenery when you open the window. Daocheng Yading is a feast for the eyes and the soul. However, the altitude sickness is also awe-inspiring. This trip is full of surprises and challenges. The beautiful scenery is in my heart, but I am also amazed by the majesty of nature.
