How high is Daocheng Aden?

Aden is 3,700 meters to 6,032 meters above sea level, including the elevation from Aden village to the whole Aden scenic spot, including the highest peak of the scenic spot, Xiannairi Peak.

But most people go to Aden, and the highest altitude they really reach is the Wuse Sea at 4,700 meters, which is also the highest altitude recommended by many tourists and officials.

Aden, namely Daocheng Aden, is a place with snow-capped mountains, ice lakes, alpine meadows and various plateau beauty in Daocheng County, south of Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province. Also known as "pure land in the heart".

At the same time, Aden is also one of the most controversial places, and all this stems from its beauty hidden in the depths of the plateau and its efforts for this beauty. ......

So some people say that Aden is "eyes in heaven, body in hell";

Others said, "If you love someone, take her to Daocheng Aden; if you hate someone, take her to Daocheng Aden";

And many people, perhaps after watching the movie "Passing Through Your World", got to know Daocheng Aden. .......

In any case, Aden, for many people, is a beautiful and distant place, which makes people feel contradictory, but their hearts are constantly being called.

Aden, what kind of place is this?

Aden is also a mysterious place hidden deep in the plateau. The snow-capped mountains and ice lakes here, just like the Cavalpo in Yunnan and the snow-capped mountains and ice lakes at the foot of the mountain, are also hidden places endowed with sacred significance by local Tibetans. The three mountains, Xiannairi, Yangmaiyong and Shanaduji, which are arranged in a triangle here, are also called sacred mountains.

Among them, the top of the mountain in the north is Xiannairi, the highest mountain in the scenic spot (6032 meters) and the Pearl Sea on the right side of Chonggu Temple, where the reflection of the snow-capped mountains can be photographed.

Aden is inseparable from its lake, which is also called Haizi (dammed lake). Although each Haizi is small in area, it is formed by melting glaciers and snow water on the snow-capped mountains. Among them, the most famous three Haizi are: Pearl Sea, Milk Sea and Five-color Sea from bottom to top.

The Pearl Sea is a sea formed by melting snow from Shenshan Mountain in Xiannai, with an altitude of 4,080 meters. It is the lowest of the three lakes and the best place to shoot the reflection of the snow-capped mountains in Aden Scenic Area.

In Aden's countless photographs, Haizi, which is small, shaped like a water drop and embedded in the depression of Yangmaiyong Snow Mountain like a sapphire, is called the Milk Sea. The most amazing thing about it is that the lake in the middle is blue, but the outermost circle is white. Of course, it is 4600 meters above sea level, more than 500 meters higher than the Pearl Sea.

About 300 meters up from the Milk Sea, that is, the Five Colors Sea, is the highest place in the scenic spot, with an altitude of 4,700 meters. If the weather is clear, the colorful sea will become colorful and very special.

Besides, the most impressive thing about Aden is the alpine meadow in Luo Rong Cattle Farm.

Under the tall and straight snow-capped mountain (Yangmaiyong Mountain), the meadow is covered with grass and all kinds of small flowers in summer. In autumn, the forest is dyed golden yellow with the distant mountains. No matter what season, as long as you come here, you can see cattle and sheep grazing and playing happily on the meadow. ......

In the scenic area, there is also a temple at an altitude of 3900 meters called Chonggu Temple. It is a relatively low altitude place in Aden Scenic Area and a watershed in Aden's trip. Of course, if you particularly like this outdoor challenge, one day is enough.

Having said that, how does Aden play?

We know that the elevation of scenic spots in Aden Scenic Area is gradually rising.

Ticket collection point in Aden Scenic Area (at an altitude of 2,900 meters) → Yading Village (at an altitude of 4,060 meters) → Longtongba (at an altitude of 3,700 meters) → Zhaguan Collapse (at an altitude of 3,800 meters) → Chonggu Temple (at an altitude of 3,900 meters) → Pearl Sea on the right (at an altitude of 4,080 meters) → Turn back to Chonggu Temple → Luo Rong Niuchang on the left (at an altitude of 465,438+)

So, in these trips, how to go specifically?

Friends who have been there know that it is more than 60 kilometers from getting tickets to Wuse Sea. You need to take a bus first, then walk, then take an electric car, and then walk or ride a horse for a while to get there. Specifically:

It is 45.5 kilometers from the ticket collection point in Aden to Zhaguan collapse, and you can take the bus.

It takes about 20 minutes to walk from Zhaguanbeng to Chonggu Temple.

However, there are two roads in Chonggu Temple, upper left and upper right. Arrive at the Pearl Sea from the upper right, with a distance of 1.5km and a round trip of 3 km. It takes about 2-3 hours to walk (a difficult mountain road). So, if you are not in a hurry, you can take this as a boundary to play for one day respectively.

On the left of Chonggu Temple, you can go to Luo Rong Cattle Farm, which is about 6.7 kilometers long. You can take a battery car.

It is about 5 kilometers from Luo Rong Cattle Farm to Milk Sea, of which about 3.5 kilometers can be ridden, and those who don't ride can also walk, while Milk Sea is about 300 meters away from Wuse Sea (don't underestimate this 300 meters, many people are too tired to climb this 300 meters when they get to Milk Sea). ......

In a word, Aden is aptly described in one sentence, that is, "infinite scenery is on the dangerous peak." For some people, this altitude is really a place that needs to overcome many difficulties and may not be reached. For those who come back with a great victory, besides seeing the scenery they want to see, it is more of a sense of accomplishment, which may be why many people still want to go after countless times, while some people want to go.
