Passing through your world ~ Meeting Daocheng Aden

There is a place called Daocheng,

Where am I going with the person I love most,

Look at the blue sky,

Look at that white snowy mountain,

Look at the golden grass,

Look at an autumn fairy tale.

I'm going to tell her,

If you don't live in your heart,

They are all dead in the field!

I'm going to tell her,

Like this thing,

Is to be together forever.

-Chen "Passing through Your World"

Many people know Daocheng Aden, which started with the film Passing Through Your World directed by Zhang. However, I made a plan to go to Daocheng first, and then I was curious to see the film.

The ratings of this movie are not very high. It may have happened in Chongqing, which makes me feel a little local. Although the love three-piece suit is bloody, it still makes me cry. "Daocheng"-the place where love happens and begins in movies. Although the film does not explain clearly why the man is so obsessed, it is enough for a group of kind men and women to set foot thousands of miles and find this fairyland called "the last pure land on earth".

Curious about the shooting location, dragging my tired body and mind, I embarked on a trip to "Daocheng Aden" from Jinan Yao Qiang Airport ~

The journey has begun. Go!

At 1: 40 in the morning, the plane landed at Chengdu Shuangliu airport ~ (Because there is no direct flight to Daocheng in Jinan, friends who usually go to Daocheng will choose Chengdu as a transit point. )

At 6: 30 in the morning, I flew from Chengdu to Daocheng Aden Airport-the altitude is 44 1 1 m, which is the highest civil airport in the world at present.

The Quaker's name for Sunday

Because I didn't rest all night, plus the altitude was too high and the temperature was too low, I felt a little uncomfortable, dizzy and tired when I left the airport. But fortunately, I drank Rhodiola in advance (probably for psychological reasons), and my spirit was much better after a short rest on the tour bus.

Our first day's trip was to follow the car around the snow-capped mountains and find a hotel to stay.

First stop, Bova Snow Mountain. (4,565,438+03m above sea level) This scenic spot is covered with snow, which is in sharp contrast with the green spring scenery on the plain. Of course, the temperature is also in sharp contrast. I didn't take many photos because it was too cold.

I met a local kid who bought an oxygen bottle at a rest stop. He is shy and knows Chinese. I asked him how old he was, and he gestured that he was four. It is estimated that children's spoken English is not very good, so they are not good at speaking. But he is very friendly and glad to see us. I can't help taking a picture with this lovely child.

The next stop is a place where local people worship-a magnificent white tower.

Our party also joined the worship of the local people, walked around the White Pagoda and prayed devoutly.

The first day of the trip was very relaxing. Arrive at our hotel-Zangyuan Hotel (Shangri-La Town) at one or two in the afternoon. This town is close to Daocheng Yading Scenic Area, and it takes about 10 minutes by car. Almost all small towns are newly built hotels, restaurants, pubs, etc.

After a short rest in the hotel, my friends and I went out to visit the town.

In the evening, we visited a Tibetan family, drank butter tea, highland barley wine, ate Tibetan hot pot and watched the wonderful performances of Tibetans.

the next day

The next day, after breakfast at 7 am, we took a bus to the destination of this tour-Daocheng Aden Scenic Area.

Tickets for Daocheng Aden Scenic Spot ***270 yuan, including one hour's ride up the mountain. It is also a painful process to enter the scenic spot by bus, because the whole line is Panshan Highway, and the 180 degree turn is not acceptable to everyone. It is suggested that children's shoes with motion sickness should be prepared.

An hour later, we got off the bus and had to buy tickets to get to the vicinity of Chonggu Temple Scenic Area. Of course, if you have good physical strength, you can hike up the mountain.

When you enter the scenic spot, you will see a relatively flat meadow area.

Go right along the path, and you will reach the classic scene of the film Passing Through Your World-Chonggu Temple.

Because taking pictures is forbidden in the temple, I can't show it to my friends.

After bidding farewell to Chonggu Temple, the most painful journey began-the sea of milk and five colors. It is said that this journey is very painful, because we have to walk the mountain road for about 3 hours, and this mountain road has not been repaired, so it is difficult to climb.

It is suggested to ride up the mountain before making a travel guide, which will be easier. I decided to walk because I had confidence in my physical strength, but later I regretted my decision. ...

Let's put some beautiful photos before complaining ~

Here is a long climb. It's windy in the valley, so it's recommended that donkey friends wear hats. Don't carry heavy loads when climbing mountains. Heavy backpacks not only make people feel tired, but also prone to altitude sickness. My friends and I once thought about giving up going to the milk sea, but the belief that "we are all here, we must grit our teeth and stick to it" strengthened my determination to climb to the milk sea.

My little friend gave up fighting with me halfway because his backpack was too heavy.

Just as I climbed alone for an hour and sat on the stone by the roadside to rest, I vaguely saw the figure of my little friend. She actually put her backpack in a hidden place on the mountain, went into battle lightly, and caught up again. I waved to her in surprise. In the difficult climbing journey, it is important to have mutual encouragement from partners.

Watching the donkey friends return from the original road of the scenic spot, we asked them how long it would take, and the donkey friends said, "Come on, there is still more than an hour's journey."

We walked on, feeling that we had been walking for a long time. Another donkey friend who came back cheered us on and said, "It's almost 1000 meters."

We hear a lot of "Come on!" Along the way. "Almost there!" But I feel that the road ahead is still long and endless.

Just walked 500 meters, my calf suddenly cramped and I couldn't move forward. While I was thinking about what to do, a strange donkey friend in Guangzhou who was traveling with me lifted my foot and helped me stretch my muscles and massage. A 70-year-old grandfather passing by asked me to raise my other hand, which could relieve the pain.

With the help of kind people, after 5 minutes, the pain in my leg was relieved a lot and I was ready to go.

Walking through this plank road, a relatively flat and low-lying place appeared in front of us, and the milk sea finally arrived!

Milk Sea, also known as Errongcuo, is an ancient glacial lake, shaped like water drops, surrounded by snow-capped mountains. The lake is clear and blue, and the mountains stop at waterfalls. It is famous for its exquisite and elegant water color and emerald blue. The milk sea is distributed in a fan shape at the foot of Yangmaiyong Mountain, with blue snow water in the middle and a circle of milky white around it, which is roughly the origin of the name of the milk sea.

About 300 meters from the milk sea to the foot of the mountain, it is a five-color sea. But because of physical exhaustion, our group didn't climb up again.

It is said that "going up the mountain is easier than going down the mountain", but I think that going up the mountain in Daocheng Aden is life-threatening. Due to the steep mountain in the scenic area, and all stone roads, the road surface is slippery, and there are no railings and handrails on both sides of the road. If you don't walk carefully, you can easily fall off the cliff.

On the way down the mountain, I was careless and my feet were slippery. I almost slipped down the hill by accident. Fortunately, a big brother next to me grabbed me and saved my life. I'm a little scared to think about it now.

After going down the mountain, we passed Luo Rong Cattle Farm, and mules pulling people up the mountain were eating grass. Although not as spectacular as yak, this animal and beautiful landscape are still beautiful.

Dragging our tired bodies, we slowly walked to the bus for the return journey step by step. The donkey friends in the car are all like frosted eggplant, exhausted.

My friends and I also collapsed in our seats. Because of a hard day and a strong wind, the journey down the mountain is even more difficult. Not so carsick, I rushed out of the door at the moment the bus arrived at the station and vomited wildly.

This day is really hard, headache, chest tightness, cramps, vomiting ... all kinds of symptoms of hyperreflexia have appeared. But fortunately, I recorded the beauty of Daocheng with my camera, and I didn't live up to this trip.

the third day

Because I was too tired the next day, my friends and I didn't get up on the third day, and the second trip into the ditch was spent in "rest".

At noon, I found a restaurant with Tibetan characteristics to eat, and then I walked around the town, which was very pleasant.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, we left Shangri-La Town and went to a hotel called Jimo in Daocheng County.

On the way, the tour guide took us to Huang Longyu, Tibetan Chinese herbal medicine and other shopping shops. In the evening, we went to a village party secretary's home visit.

The home visit will last until the afternoon 10, and we will go back to the hotel to rest.

The three-day trip to Daocheng Aden is over.

The fourth day

On the fourth day, I flew from Daocheng Aden Airport to Chengdu.

The plane was delayed for more than three hours, and there was no heating equipment at Daocheng Aden Airport, so we were frozen into an iceman. Therefore, remind passengers who come to Daocheng Airport to wear more, wear more and wear more! Say it three times, which means I seriously remind you! )

When I arrived in Chengdu, I finally woke up.

Although I have been to Chengdu three times, this fourth time still makes me very excited and excited.

Good food is enough to sweep away all my fatigue ~ Chengdu is beautiful, but I am in a hurry. Next time I go for a walk on Yulin Road and see that pub ~

Friendly reminder:

1. The average elevation of Daocheng Aden Scenic Area is over 4,500 meters. You should drink rhodiola in advance (even if you are mentally prepared) and exercise in advance. I have been to Jiuzhaigou and Yulong Snow Mountain, but none of them are as serious as this high rebellion.

Be sure to bring more warm clothes.

3. You can prepare some snacks and energy-supplementing drinks when you go up the mountain. (red bull and chocolate are recommended)

The backpack on the mountain should not be overweight. It is easy to feel chest tightness.

5, with a thick hat, the wind is strong on the mountain and it is easy to be blown by migraine.

6. It is recommended that photographers bring a SLR.

7. It is suggested to lengthen the trip in order to trim the body.

8. Bring sunscreen, sunglasses and other sunscreen products.
