Litang self-driving guide: How to travel to Litang

1. How to travel to Litang

There are two ways for you to choose from Chengdu to Litang:

One is through Ya'an. Take the shuttle bus (or drive) along National Highway 318, pass through Ya'an, go to Kangding, cross the Yajiang River, and go straight to Litang. The scenery along the way is very attractive. If you are sightseeing, I suggest you take a bus.

The second is to fly without passing through Ya'an. There is a direct flight from Chengdu to Daocheng Jichuan, and it is 100 kilometers to drive from the airport to Litang.

2. Route to Litang

The distance from Changsha to Lhasa, Tibet, is about 3,000 kilometers.

1. Take a bus from Changsha to Tibet. It is recommended to choose the time from April to October, with June to August being the best.

2. The conventional routes from Changsha to Tibet include Sichuan into Qinghai and Yunnan into Sichuan. Both routes have their own advantages.

(1) Sichuan’s entry and exit challenges are mainly in the Anduo-Golmud section and Ya’an-Lhasa section of National Highway 109. In addition to appreciating the beautiful scenery along the way to Tibet, another challenge is the will and perseverance. The more challenging it is, the more impressive it will be.

Take challenges as the main task while enjoying the beautiful scenery of Tibet and along the way. It is highly recommended to drive to Tibet from Changsha.

The self-driving route is: Changsha - Yiyang - Changde - Xiangxi - Enshi - Chongqing - Guang'an - Suining - Ziyang - Chengdu - Meishan - Ya'an - Xinduqiao - Yajiang - Litang - Daocheng Yading - Batang - Zuogong - Bangda - Basu - Ranwu - Bomi - Tongmai - Lulang - Baizhi Village - Bayi - Gongbu River.

Font Honey, why not? While you're here, won't you come to Daocheng Yading? pretty!

You and we had better follow your plan.

Litang to Sangdui 120km, Sangdui-Xiang 80km Township-Shangri-La 220km

Or walk 30 kilometers down from Sangdui to Daocheng!

This road must belong to Mangkan Deqin. It's easy, but takes a lot of detours! You can trust me with the details.

Hope it helps.

In the past, Ya'an went to the first glacier on the 318 Sichuan-Tibet Line, the glacier with the lowest altitude. The sand and rocks here are covered with frost and snow all year round. The snow-capped mountains are high and majestic, proudly enjoying the changes of the world.

The two lines meet at Xinduqiao. The road from Xinduqiao to Litang is still under construction. The road condition is not good and traffic jams are prone to occur. The sections that are usually blocked are from Xinduqiao to Folding Mountain, and from Yajiang to Litang just out of the city. Daocheng Bus Station currently has shuttle buses from Daocheng to Chengdu, Kangding and Yunnan Shangri-La. Ticket sales start from 14:00-17:30; 18:30-20:00 every day. Usually only tickets for the next day are sold. In particularly tight times, tickets for two days later may be sold at our discretion. Please keep in mind that the station only starts selling tickets at 2pm and there is only one train to Kangding and Chengdu every day. There may be one or two more cars at the station during peak season, but there is only one going to Shangri-La, so there are so many tickets and they are only available while supplies last. The shuttle bus from Daocheng to Chengdu, Kangding, and Shangri-La in Yunnan leaves at 6 o'clock every morning. Tickets are not sold for short distances such as Litang and Xiangcheng. If there is a shuttle bus in the morning, you can get on the bus directly and buy a ticket. Among them, the shuttle bus from Daocheng to Chengdu was changed to a one-day direct service without stopping in Kangding for one night. It departed at six in the morning and arrived in Chengdu around twelve o'clock in the morning. (If the road conditions are bad, it may take two days to arrive, depending on the actual situation.)

Due to seasonal influences, especially snow in winter causing dangerous road conditions, the bus from Chengdu Xinnanmen to Daocheng Aden sometimes stops. Visitors are advised to call or log on to the Xinnanmen Station website to confirm the departure time before going. (2) Generally, charter a car to Kangding first, and then choose a chartered car. Kangding-Daocheng, carpooling costs 250-300 yuan/person. The minimum price for a business van is 250, with 10 people, and the average price for an off-road vehicle is 300, with 6 people.

Expanding information from the south to the north Daocheng Yading Scenic Area is located in Yading Village, Shangri-La Town, Daocheng County, Garze Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province. It is mainly composed of three sacred mountains: Xiannairi, Yangmayong and Shanuoduoji, as well as surrounding rivers, lakes and alpine meadows. Its scenery is almost extinct on earth, and it is called the Soul of Shangri-La and the Last Shangri-La because of its unique landforms and pristine natural scenery. The scenic area not only has magnificent and sacred snow-capped mountains, but also vast meadows, colorful forests, and blue and transparent seas. Almost all the most beautiful things in the snowy plateau are gathered here, and these things make people forget to leave. Like the local devout Tibetans, hiking around the mountains is the best way to experience the scenery of Aden. However, due to the high altitude of Yading Nature Reserve, walking all the way still requires considerable physical strength. Yading means the land facing the sun in Tibetan language. There are three snow-capped mountains in the reserve: Xiannairi, Yangmayong and Shanuoduoji, which are distributed in the north.

In Tibetan Buddhism, it is called the "Three-legged Snow Mountain" and is the favorite of Tibetans. Holy place.
