Remember to bring oxygen tanks. 3️⃣ Milk Lake 📍 At the foot of Mount Yangmaiyong 🌟 Highlight: The lake's dreamy Tiffany blue hue. Wear bright colors for better photos. 4️⃣ Luorong Pasture 🕒 Best time: June-September when the grassland is greenest 🐎 Experience: Try horseback riding (~¥300/person), a filming location for "I Belonged to You." 🥘 Food stops: ✅ Ama Kitchen (Shangri-La Town): Must-try yak meat hotpot with rich broth ✅ Dragon Gate Inn: Amazing stewed free-range chicken with highland potatoes, ~¥80/person ✅ Tashi Delek Tibetan Restaurant: Authentic butter tea with barley pancakes 🚗 Transportation: 1️⃣ Flight: Chengdu Shuangliu Airport✈️Daocheng Yading Airport (1.5h), then ~2h bus to Shangri-La Town 2️⃣ Private car: ~12h from Chengdu, recommend 4WD vehicles 3️⃣ Within scenic area: Mandatory shuttle bus (¥120/person), last bus at 18:00! 📌 High-altitude survival guide: 1️⃣ Take rhodiola supplements one week in advance, avoid immediate showers 2️⃣ Essential trio: sunscreen, sunglasses, lip balm 3️⃣ Carry high-energy snacks like chocolate 4️⃣ Stay in Shangri-La Town (2900m altitude) for easier acclimatization The biggest surprise was witnessing Tibetan pilgrims' mountain circumambulation at Chonggu Temple - the prayer flags against snowy peaks is unforgettable🙏 Best visited September-October when autumn colors resemble oil paintings!
