Why is it said that Daocheng Yading is a trap and I don’t want to go there again?

The reason why Daocheng Yading is a trap is because of bad luck. The time and season were poorly chosen. Compared with the pictures on the Internet, it did not meet my inner expectations. The specific analysis is as follows:

1. Luck.

The weather on the plateau changes too quickly. There are four seasons in one day and different days ten miles away. I think everyone has heard of this. The early bird catches the worm, and the chance of sunshine is given to those who are destined and work hard.

Looking at so many beautiful and spectacular photos on the Internet, they are all taken by photographers who have been there in advance and worked hard to get them. For a scene, you wait for a ray of light, sometimes you have to wait for most of the day, or you wait for the sun to shine on the golden mountain, you wait for several days, and you don't even get it.

2. Time and Season

It is very important to understand the plateau climate. Picking the right time and season to go out is really important. May-October is the suitable season for Daocheng Yading. The best season (spring is warm and flowers are blooming, golden autumn is the season) is the spring from May-June, and the autumn from September-October. Avoid July-August, the rainy season.

3. Expectations and awareness are also very important.

Daocheng Yading, first of all, is a plateau area, even a little isolated, and the traffic signals are not very good. Only after the fire broke out in recent years did trails and supporting facilities begin to be built. Due to the geographical location, the original appearance and natural scenery are still preserved. For people who have stayed in cities for a long time, when they go to Tibetan plateau areas, their expectations and understanding of scenic spots will cause a gap in experience.
