What should I pay attention to when traveling in Daocheng Aden? Mainly related to local conditions and customs.

Mode of travel: chartered tour. The rental fee does not include the driver's room and board.

Precautions for chartered car:

Driver: In view of the above road conditions, it is better for chartered drivers to run this line frequently. They are familiar with the roads in Mao Di and Sichuan and have many years of experience.

Try to bring thick winter clothes to Daocheng/Aden, and be sure to bring down jackets. It often rains and snows in mountainous areas, and it is most important to keep warm on the plateau.

Altitude sickness: keeping warm and drinking plenty of water are the most important. Altitude sickness is normal, but it must not be taken lightly. People with heart/respiratory diseases should not venture into plateau areas. And be careful of catching a cold. You must wear a hat when it rains/snows. Otherwise, because you wear a lot of clothes, heat will easily radiate from your head, and you will easily catch a cold. It is not easy to get over a cold on the plateau, but it is also very dangerous. Generally, altitude sickness is the most serious on the third day, but it begins to improve afterwards.

Bring lip balm. Although the plateau is rainy and snowy, you often feel thirsty because of the large evaporation.

Take a raincoat, preferably a thicker one. Rent raincoats in Aden Scenic Area 10 yuan/piece.

MM with long hair, it is best to bring a small hair dryer. Otherwise, if you want to let your long hair dry naturally in the plateau area, it is easy to catch cold. Otherwise, you can go to the barber shop in Daocheng, and 5 yuan will wash your hair and blow dry.

Many local children often come to ask for sugar when they get off at Hongyuan/xinduqiao and other scenic spots. If you don't give sugar, you are bad, and you are not good. In fact, these are common problems for tourists, so I don't suggest you continue to give this for free. Local children in other places are very polite. No matter what they are doing, they will stand at attention and salute or wave when they see a car passing by.

Carry items:

1. Certificates: ID card, student ID card (if you please bring it, tickets can be half price), cash and bank card.

2. Equipment: backpack (female 50L, male 60L or above, with rain cover), trekking pole (local equipment), headlight or flashlight, battery, compass, saber, hair dryer (to dry clothes), kettle or water bag, paper towel and wet paper towel (purchased locally), sunscreen SPF30-50 (with strong ultraviolet rays at high altitude) and lip balm (local).

3. Clothing: down jacket, sweater, fleece underwear, thermal underwear, suit or raincoat (waterproof), swimsuit (pants), sun hat, thermal gloves (waterproof), waterproof hiking shoes, (slippers).

4. Drugs: Anti-altitude sickness drugs (such as rhodiola capsules, inosine tablets, cardiogenic drugs, glucose powder, American ginseng, triamcinolone acetonide, headache powder, diazepam, etc.). And rhodiola sachalinensis capsules and inosine tablets should be taken three days in advance), cold medicine (white plus black), antipyretic medicine (Baifuning), antibiotics (Lijun Sha, Norfloxacin capsules, Xianfeng No.6).

5, high-energy fast food: beef jerky, compressed biscuits, ham sausage, lunch meat, chocolate, toffee and so on. You can buy it in Chengdu, provided that you arrive in Chengdu early.

Timing: The most beautiful season in autumn scenery is about ten days from the second week to the third week of October every year, or in June, you can see wild flowers blooming all over the mountains. Of course, these are limited to what I know.
