Daocheng Aden self-help tour guide?

circuit diagram

As can be seen from the above figure, there are two routes from Chengdu (the loop line is divided into the south line and the north line) that can reach Daocheng Aden (Daocheng County+Aden Nature Reserve); If you start from Yunnan, Lijiang and Zhongdian can both be used as starting points.

Certificates and insurance

The documents required for car rental are simply "two certificates and one card": second-generation ID card, driver's license and credit card that meets the car rental quota. Because it is self-driving, it is best to buy an insurance before departure, which is also a guarantee for the economy and safety of the journey. You can learn about the types of insurance in the leasing company.

Self-provided drugs

In order to prevent accidents on the way, do some emergency measures. For people with altitude sickness, medicines such as Gaoyuankang (medicine for preventing and treating acute altitude sickness), Gaoyuanan (health food, which is helpful for relieving altitude sickness), Rhodiola and its preparations (traditional Tibetan health food, which is helpful for strengthening physique and relieving altitude sickness, and taken 10 days before entering altitude sickness) can be prepared.

Sun protection and cold protection

The ultraviolet rays on the plateau are very strong and the weather is very dry. You must do a good job of sunscreen and moisturizing. It is best to bring sunscreen, lip balm and mask. In addition, the temperature difference in the plateau area is large in the morning and evening, so pay attention to buy more clothes and don't catch a cold. A cold in plateau area is easy to cause high altitude pulmonary edema and brain edema.

Second, the mode of transportation.

Chengdu-Daocheng self-driving route: At present, there are two routes from Chengdu to Daocheng Aden, namely the southern line and the northern line. The two routes have different scenery. Traveling by car, if time permits, it is recommended to enter the south and exit the north, and enter the south in the north. Take a panoramic view of the scenery along the two lines.

South Line: Chengdu-Ya 'an-Erlang Mountain-Luding-Kangding-xinduqiao-Yajiang-Litang-Daocheng-Aden.

Brief introduction of road conditions: The whole journey is about 8 10 km. Among them, Chengdu-Ya 'an Expressway is about 140 km, and Ya 'an-Kangding is divided into two sections: Ya 'an-Shimian and Expressway, and there may be traffic jams when getting off the expressway; Asbestos to Luding, the second-class highway, is a bit steep, and the overall road conditions are good. Luding to Kangding, asphalt road, continuous uphill, good road conditions. Kangding to xinduqiao, 80 kilometers, mostly asphalt roads, but Kangding is 5 kilometers out of the city to build roads, the road conditions are not very good, and other road conditions are good. Xinduqiao is more than 355 kilometers away from Daocheng.

Northern Line: Chengdu-Dujiangyan-Yingxiu-Wolong-Balangshan-Rilong Town-Danba-Bamei-Tagong-xinduqiao-Yajiang-Litang-Daocheng-Aden.

Road profile: Chengdu-Yingxiu 100km, 2 13 national highways, mainly cement roads and asphalt roads. Yingxiu to Wolong is 45km, 303 provincial highway, cement pavement and uphill road, because there are few vehicles and good air quality in Wolong Nature Reserve. Wolong is 69km from Balangshan Pass, with an altitude of 2,000 to 4,000 meters above sea level. The winding mountain is uphill, with a steep slope, which increases the driving difficulty, but you can see snow-capped mountains and clouds all the way, and the scenery is infinite. The cement pavement from Balangshan Pass to Rilong Town is completely downhill with many bends, and the official speed limit is 40 km/h.

7 1km Rilong Town to Danba County, asphalt road, easy to drive. About 30 kilometers along the way is called "Donggu Natural Bonsai Scenic Area" with pleasant scenery. From Bamei Town to Tagong Township, the whole journey is about 30 kilometers, all of which are asphalt pavements, mainly featuring plateau scenery, and Tagong Grassland, Tagong Temple, Muyajinta and Yala Snow Mountain are the most famous. The total distance from Tagong Township to xinduqiao is 37 kilometers, with two or three grades of asphalt pavement, which is the only way for the Sichuan-Tibet line, and both of them are downhill. The scenery in xinduqiao is the most beautiful in the morning and evening. Be prepared for electricity.

If you don't drive, you can also choose (plane, shuttle bus, 4+2).

The plane Daocheng Aden Airport, with an altitude of 44 1 1 m, is the highest civil airport in the world.

Chengdu-Daocheng: 7: 05-8: 06? Air China Airbus 3 19, original price 1600, tax 120 yuan. Daocheng-Chengdu: 8: 55-9: 55? Air China Airbus 3 19, original price 1600, tax 120 yuan.

Airport bus: Because there is only one flight every day, the bus is basically a time, and the bus between the airport and Daocheng needs 1 hour.

It is not recommended to fly from Chengdu to Daocheng, especially children's shoes that have never been to the plateau, because Daocheng Airport is the highest airport in the world at an altitude of 44 10 meters. Landing directly from the plain to the plateau is easy to cause high reaction, so it is suggested that cars enter and planes leave.

Ordinary bus

There is only one shuttle bus from Shangri-La, Yunnan to Daocheng every day. The departure time is 7: 30am, about 12 hours' drive, and the fare is 124 yuan. Basically, it is a Panshan highway, and tickets can only be purchased one day in advance at the earliest. It is suggested to go to the station early in the morning to buy a seat in front, because it will be uncomfortable to sit in the back.

When most travelers visit the scenic spots in Shangri-La and Daocheng Aden, they tend to choose chartered cars or carpooling, because the public transportation system there is not very developed, chartered cars are much more convenient, and the price will not be much different from that by bus. Especially from Daocheng to Aden, carpooling and shuttle bus.

4+2= 4 wheels of a car+2 wheels of a bicycle.

Fix the bicycle on the car/business roof through the frame, or put the foldable bicycle in the trunk of the car. Long distance is solved by driving a car, and cycling will realize the pleasure of riding for you.

No matter from Chengdu to Daocheng or Zhongdian to Daocheng, you pass the asphalt road of National Highway 2 13 or Provincial Highway 303 on the way. The road conditions are good, suitable for cycling, and you can enjoy the grassland scenery and long asphalt roads along the way. Of course, you can also pretend to ride and send it to a circle of friends: a group of pedestrians riding the "Sichuan-Tibet Line". Of course, this is when time and energy allow. Still have to pay attention to driving safety. The price is 50 yuan/person? One-way, the inn will help you contact the chartered driver and make an appointment to pick you up, which is very convenient.

Third, accommodation supplies.

Ziwa in Aden village or scenic spot is recommended to live in, and Ziwa can be used if the height is serious or you are not going to hike on colorful seas. During the two-day trip to Aden, even those who plan to take a short trip in the mountains will have to stay in Aden village for one night.

Fourth, diet.

Sichuan Hotel mainly serves Sichuan cuisine, with a per capita meal of 30-60 yuan. It is recommended to confirm the price in advance. Daocheng locals use steamed bread, Baba, butter tea, beef and mutton, highland barley wine, yogurt and other staple foods, as well as rice, stir-fried dishes, Sichuan cuisine and northwest pasta for tourists to eat. The price is more expensive than Chengdu, the food is a little hard and the food is few. If you are not used to it, you need to prepare dry food. Remember not to bring instant noodles. Instant noodles in plateau areas will not bubble.

Finally, I hope this self-driving strategy of Daocheng Aden will help you!
