Fall in Love with a City Because of a Song | Kangding

| Kangding. "On the mountain where the horses run, a cloud floats by~ casting its shadow on the city of Kangding~" When this familiar melody plays, the romance and passion of Kangding flood over me like a tidal wave. Because of this song, I embarked on a journey to Kangding to experience its romance firsthand 💕 🌆 Must-visit places in the city 📍 Liuliu City: Stepping into Liuliu City is like entering a mysterious Tibetan world. Colorful prayer flags flutter in the wind, and prayer wheels stand quietly. Each turn is a wish for a better life. Here, time seems to slow down. 📍 Love Song Square: Love Song Square is bustling at night, with locals and tourists dancing around a bonfire, releasing their joy. The passionate Kamba men and beautiful Kamba women showcase the unique charm of Kangding with their songs and dances. 🚗 Transportation guide Driving from Chengdu to Kangding, the winding mountain roads gradually give way to the magnificent mountains outside the window. Every turn is a surprise. If you don't want to drive, you can also take a bus for a comfortable and worry-free journey. 🏞 Nearby attractions 📍 Tagong Grassland: On the vast grassland, white sheep are scattered like clouds, and the distant snow-capped mountains shine with a holy light under the sun. Here, you can run freely and feel the embrace of the wind. 📍 Xinduqiao: A paradise for photography enthusiasts! In autumn, the mountains are covered in golden hues, and every shot is a masterpiece. The winding streams flow through the grassland like ribbons of the earth. 📍 Mugecuo: The alpine lake is like a dazzling blue sapphire set among the mountains. The crystal-clear water reflects the blue sky, white clouds, and surrounding snow-capped mountains, creating a breathtaking beauty. 🍱 Food recommendations 🥘 Beef Gai Bei: Tender beef paired with soft pancakes, each bite is full of happiness. The aroma of beef spreads in your mouth, and the pancakes absorb the beef broth, making it even more delicious. 🥛 Butter Tea: The salty and fragrant butter tea is a daily drink for the people of Kangding. A sip warms you from the stomach to the whole body, instantly dispelling the fatigue of the journey. 🍲 Yak Meat and Wild Mushroom Hot Pot: Fresh yak meat and various wild mushrooms are stewed together, creating a delicious broth. The yak meat is firm, and the aroma of wild mushrooms is rich, making every bite a gift from nature. Because of a song, I encountered the charming city of Kangding. Its mountains, culture, and food have captivated me. If you also long for a unique journey, come to Kangding, and you'll surely leave with unforgettable memories~
