"Liupanshui Two-day Tour Route" Recommended Daocheng Aden Tour Route

Daocheng, also known as Daocheng Yading, is located in the south of Garze Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan Province, in the eastern part of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and in the middle of the Hengduan Mountains. Daoyading is known as "the last Shangri-La" for its unique and original natural environment and beautiful scenery. Recently, many tourists have set out to Daocheng Yading. Now is also the best time to travel to Daocheng Aden.

The scenic areas are divided into Daocheng and Aden, with snow-capped mountains, glaciers, canyons, forests, meadows, lakes and other landscapes. In addition to glacial lakes such as the Pearl Sea and the Milk Sea, Daocheng is the most desirable, namely the famous Daocheng Kamikaze in Tibetan areas. It consists of three sacred mountains: Xiannairi, Yangmayong and Shanuoduoji, all located in the Aden Nature Reserve. The three holy mountains, like the Three Holy Mountains, have become holy places of pilgrimage in the hearts of Tibetans. People compare Xiannairi to Buddha, Yang Maiyong to a girl, and Shanuo Duoji to a boy. There are also many places worth visiting around Daocheng County, including quiet riversides, beautiful red grasslands, and ancient temples.

Daocheng-Aden is "the last piece of pure land on the blue planet." In spring, the mountains of Daocheng are covered with azaleas. In autumn, Daocheng is a paradise-like red and yellow. As early as 1928, American explorer Joseph Locke discovered Daocheng-Aden and published his photos in the American magazine National Geographic, which caused a great sensation. The scenic area climbs from an altitude of 2,900 meters (Gongga River Mouth) to 6,032 meters (Xian Nairi Peak), with the three snow peaks of Xiannari, Jiangbian Yang and Shana Duoji as the core area. Due to the special geographical environment and natural climate, unique landforms and natural landscapes have been formed, making it the most complete natural ecosystem in China.

Milk, an ancient glacial lake shaped like a water droplet, is surrounded by snow-capped mountains. Milk Sea is located at the foot of Yangmayong Mountain, with an area of ??0.5 hectares and an altitude of 4,500 meters. Surrounded by snow-capped mountains, the lake is clear and blue, with waterfalls falling from the mountains. It is famous for its exquisite, beautiful and elegant water color. There is a large glacier beside the milk. It is said that every spring when flowers bloom, the lake water will be as white as milk and as white as nectar, hence the name Milk Sea. The lake is clear and blue, and the mountains end at the waterfall. It is known for its exquisite beauty and elegance. The water on the shore is slightly darker, with sediments of distant plants underneath, a light green area inside, and bright blue water in the depths. The sea water flows slightly, and the sun continues to pass over it through the clouds, so it changes its brilliance like a gem. The patches of grass and broken leaves on the seaside are like green velvet. The grass is covered with hard rock walls and sand, which makes it very cold.

Mai Yong, which means "Manjushri" in Tibetan, is the south peak of the "Sanpo" Snow Mountain, with an altitude of 5,958 meters. Manjushri Bodhisattva is the incarnation of wisdom in Buddhism. The shape of Yangmaiyong Mountain is like the sword of wisdom in the hands of Manjushri Bodhisattva, pointing straight to the sky and standing proudly between heaven and earth. Under the Peak of God, mountains surround a wide canyon, with forests, meadows and streams on both sides. It is majestic and like a fairyland on earth.

Nairi is one of the top ten most beautiful and shocking mountains in China. Xianri means "Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva". It is said that if Tibetans can worship the holy mountain three times, their wishes in this life will come true. Xianri is the north peak of the "Three-legged Master" Snow Mountain, the first of the three sacred mountains in the Aden Scenic Area, with an altitude of 6,032 meters. The peak is covered with snow all year round, and the mountain shape resembles a leaning Buddha. In front of it is the Vajra Sea Wood, the pyramid-like peak on the left is White Tara, the peak on the right with countless prayer flags swaying is Green Tara, and the ice-eroded tinder next to Green Tara is many Dalbergia and wonderful fairies.
