Anonymous userWhose travel bucket list doesn't include Daocheng Yading? This hidden paradise, known as the "Soul of Shangri-La," harbors some of the purest and most breathtaking scenery in the world—three sacred mountains stand tall and majestic: the holy Xiannairi, the handsome Yangmaiyong, and the magnificent Xiannaduoji, appearing and disappearing in the mist like guardian deities of a pure land. Milk Lake, like a blue-green gemstone scattered among the mountains, is nestled in a valley embraced by snow-capped peaks. Its crystal-clear waters reflect the snow-capped peaks and cloud shadows. Five-Colored Lake, with its ever-changing light and shadow, weaves together blue, green, cyan, and yellow hues into a mystery, offering a different breathtaking experience with every glance. Along the way, alpine meadows stretch as far as the eye can see, vibrant wildflowers bloom, yaks graze peacefully, prayer flags flutter in the wind, and even the air feels imbued with the purity of faith. The fatigue from traversing mountains and valleys will vanish the moment you see the lakes and sacred mountains. The beauty here possesses a primal purity and a powerful healing quality, combining the vastness of the plateau with the tranquil gentleness of the lakes. Every step is a cleansing of the soul, and every scene is worth treasuring for a lifetime. Daocheng Yading is not merely a scenic spot, but a journey to distant places and faith, a pristine paradise hidden deep in western Sichuan, a place that inspires longing in the heart.

杉尼Recommended reason: 4513 meters! The highest mountain pass on the way from Aden Airport to Aden Scenic Area at 4414 meters. Although it is early summer, there is still a lot of snow on the mountain pass, which is a surprise for people in the southeast coastal cities where snow is rare❄️! What is even more amazing is the blue sky and white clouds on the top of Mount Bova. Here, you can take some blockbuster photos at will... and the air is fresh, with a slight chill, like being in a blue secret place, looking for her traces... Featured experience: Feel the plateau style and the top of the snow-capped mountains. Transportation: You can only rent or charter a car, the airport bus 🚌80 yuan (the driver may stop for ten minutes if you ask) Tips: Do not do strenuous exercise, otherwise it is easy to get altitude sickness!

chenweiwenHaizi Mountain Nature Reserve is located in the north of Daocheng, with a total area of 3,287 square kilometers and an average altitude of 4,300-4,700 meters. The plateau is the largest ancient ice body relic on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, namely the "Daocheng Ancient Ice Cap". There are jagged rocks and large and small lakes scattered all over the mountain. On the mountain with an average altitude of 4,500 meters, 1,145 large and small lakes are shining in the mountains like a thousand diamonds scattered by God. Its scale and density are the highest in China. The unique landscape of Haizi Mountain is the stone river, stone sea and glacial rock basins (lakes) of various shapes composed of large and small granite boulders (gravel). There are no trees or rivers in sight, and even wild grass only grows occasionally. It is as "wild" as the surface of Mars photographed by the "Spirit".
