Saidafo College Travel Guide

The large red building of Seda Buddhist College is built on the mountain, which is densely packed. This building attracts a large number of tourists every year. This is a detailed guide for you.

After the demolition of Seda, the number of red houses decreased a lot. But! The red house is still big and beautiful! Especially when we went, it snowed heavily and we didn't want to be too happy at all.

Seda weather

It's sunny and rainy (snow) in the plateau, and rain (snow) comes and goes quickly, so don't worry about never having the sun. Moreover, Seda is particularly beautiful whether it is cloudy or sunny.

Travel route

The 3-day trip, because the mountain road is rugged, and it is from the plain to the plateau, so I chose the group plan.

Day 1: Chengdu = Guanyin Bridge (via Wenchuan and Marcand)

The next day: Guanyin Bridge = Dongga Temple = Celestial Burial Platform = Seda Wuming Buddhist College.

Day 3: Seda = Kannonji = Chengdu.

The Stay Hotel

The first day I lived in Guanyin Bridge and the second day I lived in sertar county. I thought the accommodation in Tibetan areas was very poor, but I didn't expect it to be good! There is hot water and electric blanket on the bed!

Catering gourmet

Except for breakfast and dinner arranged by the team every day, I eat by myself at night. The group meal is ok. Although Guanyin Bridge is a small town at night, there are many choices, and sertar county has more choices. The key is to order a group takeaway! That night we ordered some barbecues, which were very delicious.

Preventive measures for high reaction

It is nearly 4000 meters above sea level, but it doesn't jump or jump. It is easy to rebel. You can take rhodiola a week to half a month in advance to prevent it, but you may also have a headache and lack of oxygen. We went straight to Seda without eating Rhodiola. My friend's aunt lived in Seda for a long time before, and we bought inosine oral liquid when we arrived. Although it is a medicine for treating acute hepatitis and enteritis, it will also have a little emergency effect on high fever!

Carrying equipment

The plateau has strong ultraviolet rays, strong wind and large temperature difference between day and night. Be sure to bring sunglasses, hats, rain gear, non-slip shoes and thick clothes. Although we were caught in heavy snow at that time, we were basically frozen silly. Fortunately, I am wearing Kellogg's down jacket and hiking shoes, which makes us warm.

Precautions for taking pictures

The total visit time of the Buddhist College is 5 hours, so taking photos is enough. You can take pictures of people and buildings from the highest observation deck. In addition, when I first saw the red house in the Buddhist College, it was also very suitable for taking environmental portraits! Other red walls and prayer wheels are easy to shoot!
