Aden, Sichuan Daocheng, is actually a very good place, but it mainly depends on whether you are interested in visiting this place. Today, Bian Xiao will tell you some related strategies about this place, and you can learn more when you go.

Daocheng Snow Plateau: Here you will see snow-capped mountains and glaciers, meadows and forests, streams and lakes. It can be said that Daocheng will give you a satisfactory answer to all the elements of the snowy plateau.

Hiking Holy Land: The body is in hell and the eyes are in heaven. For example, Aden to Muli, Aden to Lugu Lake, and the mountain-climbing route around Sanshen Mountain in Aden are all excellent hiking experiences.

Shangri-La: This is the last Shangri-La that we often hear about, and it also has the title of the last pure land on the water-blue planet.

Travel knowledge altitude sickness: The average altitude of Daocheng is 4,000 meters, so it is inevitable that there will be high reflexes during the journey, generally manifested as chest tightness, shortness of breath, and more serious symptoms such as headache and vomiting. Generally, it will improve within 1 to 3 days.

Preventive measures: take rhodiola sachalinensis half a month before going out, pay attention to rest and strengthen exercise. Drink more hot water during the trip, ensure sleep, don't exercise vigorously, and remember not to catch a cold.

Religious culture: Most Tibetans in Daocheng are devout followers of Tibetan Buddhism. Please be careful not to travel here. 1, don't step on the prayer flags; 2. Don't knock over the Mani heap; 3. Don't sit on a stone engraved with scripture; 4. Don't touch Buddha statues, beads, scriptures, etc.

Highlights in April-May: Although the color of Daocheng in spring is not as gorgeous as that in autumn, there is more snow on the mountain than in autumn, and azaleas are blooming all over the mountain. Because there are fewer tourists, the consumption of accommodation and catering will be lower.

Play time is 4 to 5 days: Daocheng County generally needs a short stay, and scenic spots around the county can be arranged 1 day to 2 days. Aden Scenic Area suggests 2 to 3 days. Of course, this trip is mainly for friends who want to travel in depth. At present, most of the more reliable free travel teams stay in Aden 1 to 2 days.

Consumption level Daocheng is located in the western Sichuan Plateau, with inconvenient transportation. The inconvenience here is not bad roads, but the time cost of transporting materials is too high. Therefore, compared with neighboring big cities such as Chengdu and Kunming, the consumption level is slightly higher.

Daocheng sanshen mountain scenic spot

Over the years, countless donkey friends have come here for many reasons, which are related to the three sacred mountains in Daocheng Aden. Please remember their names, namely, the northern peak of Xiannairi, the southern peak of Yangmaiyong and the eastern peak of Shanuoduoji, representing Guanyin Bodhisattva, Manjusri Bodhisattva and Vajrayana Bodhisattva respectively.

Tibetan temples

Although the temples in Daocheng are not as big and popular as those in Tibet, they have an ethereal and profound feeling, because they are quiet and simple, and they are more solemn and peaceful.

In Aden, the city of Tibetan food, how can you not try Tibetan food? Eating meat and drinking is a dietary feature in Tibetan areas. Ciba, butter tea and yak meat are all Tibetan delicacies that can't be missed. In a crowded Tibetan restaurant, listening to local music, you can imagine that there is no more travel time.

In the evening, you need to wear a sweater and jacket. Friends who are particularly afraid of cold can bring down jackets.

Daily necessities for travel equipment: If you choose to stay in a local hotel, please bring your own toiletries, such as toothpaste, toothbrush, towel, shampoo, shower gel and slippers.

Moisturizer and lipstick have certain effects on relieving dry climate, so they can be carried with you. Hot water bottles, umbrellas and raincoats are also important for your trip. Please take them away.

Sunscreen products: Sunscreen is mainly used for chemical sunscreen. In terms of physical sun protection, you also need to prepare sun hats, headscarves, sunglasses and sun protection clothes.

Aden is actually a village. After buying a ticket in the original name of Liwa Town, Shangri-La Town, take the sightseeing bus for about 1 hour, and then take 10 minutes to reach the Longtongba, the real entrance of the scenic spot.

Aden scenic spot is relatively large. In addition to the three sacred mountains, you can also see a series of cultural and natural landscapes such as Chonggu Temple and Luo Rong Cattle Farm, which need to be enjoyed slowly and quietly.

Shopping Overview In fact, Daocheng has no special products. However, as long as you want to find them, there are still many things worth collecting, such as bells, earthen jars, simple rice cake boxes and so on.

In Daocheng, shopping is the first place to go, and there are many stalls selling silver ornaments. However, most of the silver ornaments are fake. In fact, as long as the price of personal souvenirs is right, authenticity is not very important.

If you are lucky, you can meet Tibetans and sell their own medicinal materials such as Rhodiola, Saussurea involucrata, Cordyceps sinensis, Fritillaria, Xuecha, Ganoderma lucidum and Saussurea involucrata to shops along the street. Most of them are genuine and cheap, so we must take the opportunity to buy some.
