You must visit Ganzi at least once, to fulfill a rendezvous with the snow-capped mountains

Must-visit attractions: DAY 1: Chengdu → Kangding (2-hour drive) ✨Zheduo Mountain Viewing Platform: Walk above the sea of clouds, don't forget to try yak meat skewers for energy 📍Food recommendation: "Old Brand Yak Hotpot" at Kangding Love Song Square - incredibly fresh broth and tender meat DAY 2: Kangding → Xinduqiao (3 hours) 📸Photography paradise Xinduqiao: Capture Tibetan houses in morning mist at 6am ⚠️Tip: Visit in October to see golden poplar forests DAY 3: Xinduqiao → Daocheng Yading (6 hours) 🏔️Mount Chenrezig: Bring oxygen tanks - the challenging hike is absolutely worth it! 🍴Dining recommendation: "Tibetan Kitchen" in Shangri-La Town - tsampa pancakes with butter tea are amazing DAY 4: Yading Scenic Area in-depth tour 💎Five-Color Lake + Milk Lake: Must wear waterproof hiking boots! Weather changes rapidly ‼️Hard-earned advice: Round trip takes 8 hours - pack enough snacks but don't litter DAY 5: Daocheng → Litang (4 hours) 🚩Dingzhen's hometown! Great value for Tibetan costume photos at Letong Ancient Town 🤫Fun fact: The back mountain of Changqingchunkeer Temple offers panoramic views of Litang DAY 6: Litang → Danba (5 hours) 🏡Jiaju Tibetan Village: Stay in watchtower homestays - wake up to misty mountain views DAY 7: Danba → Siguniang Mountain → Chengdu 🌸Shuangqiao Valley: Visit in May to see alpine azalea blooms 【Important Notes】 1. Daily drives exceed 4 hours - bring neck pillows and motion sickness medicine 2. Sun protection essentials: Sunglasses + hat + sunscreen - high-altitude UV is no joke 3. Limited accommodation facilities in Tibetan areas - recommend bringing toiletries and sleeping bag liners
