The truth may be hard to hear! But these are all must-knows for Daocheng Yading

Sisters heading to Daocheng in November-December, take note!! Recently, snow-capped mountains and lakes are everywhere 🏔 and the weather is stable 🌞 Bring your besties to Western Sichuan to feel the free spirit, it’s seriously so cool!!! For those coming to Daocheng later, to avoid pitfalls and wasting money 💰, pay attention to the weather before traveling - 🌟[Travel Tips] (Take the advice) ❄️ Overall temperature in Western Sichuan: -5 to 16°C 🚗 Transportation guide: Road conditions are not great, especially around Genie. Self-driving friends are not recommended to use small cars. Sisters in Bao tours don’t need to worry about transportation here, just choose a better vehicle with more spacious seats for a better experience. 👔 Clothing guide: Mainly autumn clothes, plus one or two winter jackets. Three-in-one jackets, thick down jackets, sweatshirts as inner layers, long pants, boots, and plush hats are all good. 😵 Altitude sickness preparation: Keep a good routine one week in advance. When you arrive in Chengdu, you can buy some oxygen bottles; don’t wait until you get to Western Sichuan to buy them as they are more expensive there. Consider showering and washing your hair on the day you arrive. For the first two days in Western Sichuan, avoid showering to let your body adapt. On the road, prepare a thermos with glucose mixed in warm water to replenish energy in time. 🗒️ Essentials: Disposable underwear (super convenient), oxygen bottles (not recommended to use at the slightest discomfort), snacks (some areas like Genie have no shops along the way), motion sickness medicine (for winding mountain roads) - 🏔️ Western Sichuan travel route D1: Chengdu - Provincial Road 434 [Red Lake · Rainbow Road] - Moxi Park - Tagong Grassland - Catch the sunset at Yuzixi - Yajiang D2: Yajiang - 18 Bends of the Heavenly Road - Tuer Mountain - Daocheng White Pagoda - Daocheng Pasture | Tibetan costume photoshoot - Shangri-La Town D3: Shangri-La Town - Short trip [Chonggu Temple · Pearl Lake, etc.] - Shangri-La Town D4: Shangri-La Town - Haizi Mountain - Litang Thousand-Household Tibetan Village · Changqing Chunke’er Temple - Litang [Tibetan welcome ceremony · Museum stroll · Rubbing experience] - Xinduqiao D5: Xinduqiao - Zheduo Mountain Viewing Platform · Salongda Blessing - Kangding Mugecuo [Wildman Lake · Red Stone Beach · Seven Color Lake] - Chengdu - 👉【Western Sichuan Travel】Group tours, private tours, customized tours, chartered car tours, and more are all available.
