Daocheng Travel Guide - How to Plan a Trip to Daocheng

In Tibetan, Daocheng means "the open land in the mouth of a valley". Daocheng is located in the south of Garze Tibetan Prefecture, around 800 kilometers from Chengdu.

Daocheng has long enjoyed great fame as the "last Shangri-La" due to its breathtaking natural scenery. It is also the home of many endangered species such as long-tailed leaf monkeys, golden monkeys, white-lipped deer, red deer, water deer, argali, and antelope. These animals all enjoy their lives in this vast beautiful land, untouched by humans.

What to see in Daocheng

Daocheng, sitting at an average elevation of 3800 meters, is full of alpine views of expansive blue sky, cold rivers and lakes, broad grasslands, and snowcapped mountains.

Yading National Reserve is one of the most famous places near Daocheng and is great for eco-travel. This reserve is famously known as the "last pure land on our blue planet". Yading National Reserve is about a 2-hour drive from Daocheng county.

Yading National Reserve—The Last Shangri-La

Yading National Reserve, located at the southern edge of Daocheng County, is considered to be the most sacred place in western Sichuan by Tibetan people. It is famous for its unique ecological environment and spiritual significance.

The Three Mountains of God, Gongga Chonggu Temple, Luorong Pasture, the pure lakes, and Yading Tibetan Village are the must-see highlights of Yading. You can learn more about Yading here.

Usually, it takes around 2 days to visit the reserve. On the first day, you can take the longer route tour and then take the short-route tour on the other. Shuttle buses and electric cars are available in the reserve for convenient transportation.

During the long-route tour of Yading, you will see two sacred snow-clad mountains (Mt. Jambeyang and Mt. Chanadorje), the Luorong Cattle Farm at an altitude of 4100 m (13450 ft), the Five Color Lake, and the Milk Lake located at an altitude of 4300 m(14110 ft).

During the short-route tour, you will see the Pearl Lake, which sits at an altitude of 4060 m (13450ft), and the holy mountain Chenrezig.

Rewu Temple—the Oldest Sakya Sect Temple

The Rewu Temple is located about 10 kilometers from Daocheng County. Built in the Ming Dynasty, it is the oldest Sakya sect temple. Sakya is one of the important sects of Tibetan Buddhism. The Rewu Temple is home to precious cultural relics such as Gold Thangka Paintings, Buddha statues, and Tibetan scriptures.

Haizi Mountain Scenic Area--The Largest Relic of the Ancient Ice Age

The Haizi Mountain Scenic Area is situated between Daocheng and Litang County and sits at an average elevation of 4500 meters. It is the largest ancient ice cap in the Qinghai Tibetan Plateau. The most unique part of the landscape of this area is the thousands of lakes containing a number of big and small stones that glittering in the translucent waters. Xingyicuo Lake is the largest mountain lake in the Haizi Mountain Scenic Area and it is considered to be a holy lake in Tibetan culture.

Best Time to Go

The best months to visit Daocheng are from April to May and September to October. Daocheng County is in the subtropical climate zone. Affected by the complex terrain of the Qinghai Tibetan Plateau, it has the characteristics of a high elevation plateau type climate and continental climate.

Autumn (September and October) is the most strikingly beautiful season of the year in Daocheng. The red grasslands and yellow poplar forests make people feel like they are surrounded by the sea of color. The snowcapped mountains are also more unpredictable under the blue sky and white clouds.

Tips: The temperature during autumn is between 5℃ and 20℃. The temperature difference between day and night is often quite big and you should expect nights to be cold. Please bring warm clothes like down jackets, gloves, and a hat with you.

Spring is always late in Daocheng and doesn't start until April. During this time, flowers bloom all over the mountains and along the roads. The holy mountains look more spectacular and brighter in this season.

How to get to Daocheng

Daocheng is a small culturally Tibetan county and transportation in this area is not as convenient as it is in big cities like Chengdu. However, Daocheng does have an airport and it is the highest altitude civil airport in China. You can also travel to Daocheng by long distance bus or you can take our private transfer.

Daocheng Yading Airport

Opened in 2013, Daocheng Yading Airport is 49 kilometers away from Daocheng county, 122 kilometers from Riwa (Shangri La town), and 159 kilometers from Yading National Reserve.

How to get to Daocheng from Chengdu

Chengdu is a popular starting point for journeys to Daocheng. You can travel from Chengdu to Daocheng by private car, air, or long-distance bus.

By Private Car

Traveling by private car is a common way to get from Chengdu to Daocheng. We always recommend that our guests travel in this way. The distance between Chengdu and Daocheng is about 760km and takes about 13-14 hours.

We suggest you stop at Xinduqiao on your way there. Xinduqiao , which is a renowned paradise for photographers, is about 410 kilometers from Chengdu. Here you can see the beautiful countryside scenery along the highway. You will also get incredible sweeping views of Erlang Mountain and go through the Erlangshan Tunnel. This mountain tunnel is the longest one in China with a length of 4,176 meters.

Where to stay in Daocheng

Daocheng is a beautiful place to visit, but you may have trouble deciding where to stay there. There are three areas for you to choose from: Riwa, Yading Village, and Daocheng County.

Staying in Riwa

Riwa is also called Shangri-la Town and is located between Daocheng and Yading. From here it is about a 10-minute drive to Yading. We always recommend staying in Riwa over the other two choices because it is the most convenient.

Advantages:

  • The area is located at the lowest altitude out of the three (2800 meters) and is suitable for travelers who are on the plateau for the first time!
  • The accommodation condition is better than that in Yading Village

Disadvantages

  • Few places for shopping
  • About 2 hours from the airport

Staying in Yading Village

Yading village is in the Yading National Reserve. From the reserve, you can take the scenic shuttle bus to the village. This area is full of youth hostels.

  • About a 10-minute drive to the main attractions
  • Beautiful environment
  • Located at a high altitude (3700 meters) which will increase the risk of altitude sickness.
  • Tibetan style houses with simple facilities
  • No choice of restaurants and shopping
  • Booking is difficult in the high season and the prices are always high.

Staying in Daocheng County

Daocheng County is a 2 hour's drive from its most important attraction, Yading National Reserve.

  • Hotel choices vary from star hotels to small inns and homestays
  • More choices of restaurants and shopping areas
  • About 50 minutes from the airport
  • Located at a high altitude of around 3750 meters which will increase the chances of altitude sickness.
  • Far from Yading National Reserve

What to Eat in Daocheng

Daocheng belongs to Kangba Tibetan Cultural Area and here you can try some authentic Tibetan food such as Zanba, butter tea, beef and mutton, and highland barley wine and yogurt.

Zanba is the staple daily food of Tibetan people. To make Zanba, dried and fried barley is ground into a fine flour. To eat it, you should mix some butter tea with the Zanba and make it into a little ball. This meal is very simple and does not require heat to cook.

Butter tea is a daily drink for Tibetan people. It is made from a mixture of butter and strong tea. It has many health benefits such as curing high altitude symptoms, preventing your lips from cracking due to dry weather, and warms the body. Tibetan people always welcome their guests with butter tea.

There are some cultural rules that Tibetan people have for drinking this tea. Firstly, it cannot be finished in one sip. Secondly, the host should always refill the tea for their guests so the guests' tea bowls are always full.

Highland Barley Wine

Highland barley wine, which is called "Qiang" in Tibetan, is made from barley which is a major crop produced in Tibet. This is the favorite drink of Tibetan people and is indispensable during festivals, weddings, giving birth to children, and greeting relatives and friends. Highland barley wine is yellow and tastes sweet and acidic. Another nickname for the drink is "Tibetan beer".

How to Deal with Altitude Sickness

Daocheng is located in a high-altitude area and there is a chance that you may get altitude sickness. Here are some tips for preventing altitude sickness.

  • Don't be too scared of the sickness. Most people will be ok with adequate preparation and knowledge.
  • Walk and move slowly even if you feel energetic.
  • Taking altitude sickness medicine before departure is recommended.
  • Prepare some medicine according to your doctor's suggestions. Also, vitamin B and C can make you feel better sooner.

Choose to shoot the idyllic scenery of the riverside suitable for morning and night. When the light is slanted, if there is cooking smoke or mist, it is even more beautiful. The poplar trees on the river near the mountain are often covered by a beam of skylight. Pay attention to looking for an open location, and pay attention to the direction of the nearby light source and the height of the mountain to prevent the sunrise from being delayed or the sunset from being too early due to the high mountain. In terms of timing, since it is close to the county seat, you can master it yourself.

Sangdui Red Caotan: To the north of Daocheng County, there is no entrance fee.

Yang Maiyong

Yangmai Yong Tibetan means “Manjusri Bodhisattva” at an altitude of 5958 meters. It is ranked first in the snow mountain of “Lord of Three Masters” in Buddhism. Yang Maiyong is like a girl, demure and dignified. Standing on the top of the peak, turning around and looking back, the forest, grassland, and streams guard each side in harmony among the vast canyons surrounded by mountains, and they are reckless.

Xian Nai Ri

Xian Nairi is a god mountain closest to the entrance of Yading Scenic Area, which can be seen from Chonggu Temple. The entire snow mountain is shaped like a ring-shaped ice bucket, so the mountain always faces us when viewed from both sides. The snow on the peak does not melt all year round, and the mountain shape resembles a giant Buddha leaning back. If you want to watch at close range, you still need to ride a horse to enter. You can also try walking on foot.

Xianuoduoji means “Vajra Hand Bodhisattva”, and is the east peak of the “Sanzhu Lord” Snow Mountain at an altitude of 5958 meters, and ranks third in the “Sanzhu Lord Snow Mountain”. The main peak of the snow mountain is a triangular pyramid. The shape of the three snow mountains is closest to the pyramid. It winds along the sharp blade ridges of the two wings of the snow mountain. The blade ridge is dark on the side facing the light. The lines outlined in the blue sky are sharp and shaped. In 1928, Locke entered Aden for the first time from Muli. The first intimate contact was Xianuoduoji Snow Mountain. When he saw Xianuoduoji for the first time, he was attracted by her charming figure. He wrote: “A cropped pyramid, the mountains on both sides of her resemble the wings of a huge bat. This It’s a fairy spot that no one knows about. “

Tips: About tickets + sightseeing tickets Daocheng Aden scenic spot ticket is 150 yuan. To enter the scenic spot, you must take a scenic sightseeing car.

Daocheng Yading scenic tour route recommended:  Daocheng Yading Scenic Area has two tours

The first tour route: From the entrance of the scenic area, take the scenic sightseeing car to Zhaguanbeng, walk 0.5km to Chonggu Temple, and you can choose to take the battery car to Nuorong Niuchang. There are 5KM from Nuorong Cow Farm to Milk Sea. Among them, 3KM is a dirt road, and 2KM is an uphill road. The slope is very large, and you should wear comfortable shoes. There is 1KM from the Milk Sea to the Five-color Sea, and the altitude is higher. This line is relatively long, please do your best.

The second tour route reference: take the scenic sightseeing car from the entrance of the scenic spot to Zhaguanbeng, walk 0.5km to Chonggu Temple, and then walk 1.5km to the Pearl Sea (3950 meters above sea level) and Xiannairishan. This line is full of metal grid planks, so it’s easy to walk. There is no problem to walk up within 2 hours.

Sichuan Local Guide Travel Tips:

1. The battery car from Chonggu Temple to Luorong Niuchang is 80 yuan for a round trip and 50 yuan for a one-way trip. You can also choose to walk for about 2 hours. However, if you decide to walk on the Milky Sea, it is best to choose a battery car, because walking the Milky Sea requires more physical strength. 2. The round-trip horseback ride from Wurong Sea to the Five-color Sea and Milk Sea is 500 yuan / piece / person. The price is the same as the scenic spot. The round-trip time for horseback riding is about 4 hours. Horses can only reach the Milky Sea. If you go to the Five Colors Sea, you need to continue walking 1KM. (There may be insufficient horses in peak season)

  • Full Itinerary

Day 1 Chengdu – Xinduqiao

Your Yading Adventure starts by riding from Chengdu into the wild west of Sichuan. Along the way you have the chance to see the landscape over your window and stops for toilets and lunch. The road you will be on is the famous national highway 318, which is used by many off-the-main-road travelers who want to see the beautiful nature and great Tibet. You will probably see some hardcore cyclists on the road or even hikers. It is a pleasure to feel that you are traveling here to see the views that most people won’t have the chance to see. After a day’s drive normally about 8 to 9 hours, arrive in your hotel in Xinduqiao, a stopover place for people going further place here. If you are a photo lover, Xinduqiao is a good place where you may catch good moments of photos by dust or dawn. Overnight Xinduqiao.

Day 2 Xinduqiao – Shangri-La Town

Xinduqiao is at the altitude of around 3500 meters so you had better take suggestions from your guide about how to deal with mountain sickness and other safety issues. You will keep driving for this day too. Today on the road you will see views from very high places. The road is at altitude around 4000 meters passing several high mountain passes. There are places you stop for toilets and take photos. After Litang, you will pass the splendid Haizi Shan and down to Shangti-La town, formerly named Riwa, the town by the entrance of Yading Park. Its elevation is at 2800 meters, a good offset of the former day’s tension. Check in hotel and overnight here.

Day 3 Yading Hiking

Today start from your hotel and use the public bus by the entrance of the Yading Nature Reserve. Arrive and walk to Luorong Yak Ranch and walk to Niunai Lake (Milk Lake). Elevation climbs to over 4000 meters. Here you have splendid views of the two of the sacred mountains of Yading: Xianuoduoji and Yangmaiyong. These mountains are about 6000 meters’ tall and this place is well protected to remain its original looking. After Milk Lake you can keep walking to Wuse Lake, a bigger lake that is 100 meters higher than Milk Lake. And if you are a fit walker, you can even walk to the Songduo Pass, which is by the end of the valley and the highest place of the park at 4500 meters. Walking time is around 2-4 hours single way. A horse-riding is available if you get there early. An electricity car ride is involved during your visit before walking. After the walk, come back the same way back to Shangri-La town. Overnight in Shangri-La town.

Day 4 Yading Hiking - Daocheng

Today start from your hotel and use the public bus again by the entrance of the Yading Nature Reserve. Today you don’t have to use horse nor electricity car. The visit is to Pearl Lake by Chonggu Temple after your tourist bus ride. The Pearl Lake is by the foot of Xiannairi. It is a stunning lake with beautiful reflection of mountains around it. Xiannairi is considered by local people a Buddha with significance of religious sacredness. The walk is around half an hour to get there. After your photo and walking around there, come back the same way and ride to Daocheng. Overnight in Daocheng.

Day 5 Daocheng - Kangding

Daocheng is a small city with an elevation of 3800 meters. With your walking on over 4000 meters in Yading Park, this height won’t be a challenge for you anymore. Daocheng is a nice city with colorful forest around it in fall. Today you will start to drive back to Chengdu using the same road. This is when you realize how far Yading is. But only the most beautiful view hides far and remote. Isn’t it? Another town is arranged for an overnight stay going back instead of Xinduqiao so you will have chance to see different places. Kangding is a historical town between the traditional Tibet and Chine and one of the important towns where ancient people do business on the Southern Silk Road. After around 8 hours of driving, arrive and check in hotel. Overnight in Kangding.

Day 6 Kangding - Chengdu

Drive back to Chengdu full day and have a good rest on your bus/car. This is the day you start to recover from the stress of traveling and simmering the aftertaste of Yading. Maybe you can start to plan your visits to Chengdu or around. After a day’s drive arrive in Chengdu and you will be dropped off at your hotel. Your Yading Adventure tour ends.

Tips from local tour guide

1. This is the standard practical itinerary. If you want, we can also cutomize it to your personal need, no matter you want to shorten or extend your travel length, no matter what class of accommodation you prefer...

2. This trip is available from April to November. The best seasons are May, June, July, August and September, October. Winter is too cold but still doable.

3. This adventure involves walking at parks and horse trails. So walking boots are necessary for this tour. In this hiking. Elevation at most of these sights are quite high as much to 3800 meters. Precautions for mountain sickness are necessary as well. Rain proof and Sun block are also necessary when you are traveling at these places for weather changes quickly at high altitude.

4. This is a ground tour. It goes to places where the tourist facilities may not meet with standards. Western Sichuan is not a fully-developed place and unexpected incidents may happen due to bad weather, landslide in certain seasons and possible heavy traffic jams.

5. Traveling to the listed places will expect lower standard services at hotels and restaurants even if they maybe the best choices. The service level is not as up to what you have in places like Chengdu. The hotel people don't speak English nor do the people from restaurants. These places are quite far, wild but beautiful. As authenticity comes often with less comfortability. Public Toilet can be really bad. You are always recommended to use your toilet in your hotel while you don't want to use the public toilet or do it in the open wild. You are recommended to have toilet paper with you. Food are with limited options at most of the places. Basically you can find Chinese Food with Sichuan style. On a guided trip you can have them customized into vegetarian or non/less spicy.

In a cloudless sky before me rose the peerless pyramid of Jambeyang(another spelling of Jampeyon),the finest mountain my eyes ever beheld.... It also prevented me from securing better photographs of Mount Chanadorje(another spelling of Changna Dorjee),for it persistently refused to unveil its hoaring head...

Go beneath the streets on this tour of the spectacular, mind-bending Moscow Metro! Be awed by architecture and spot the Propaganda , then hear soviet stories from a local in the know. Finish it all up above ground, looking up to Stalins skyscrapers, and get the inside scoop on whats gone on behind those walls.

Know More about this tour

We begin our Moscow tour beneath the city, exploring the underground palace of the Moscow Metro. From the Square of Revolution station, famous for its huge statues of soviet people (an armed soldier, a farmer with a rooster, a warrior, and more), we’ll move onto some of the most significant stations, where impressive mosaics, columns, and chandeliers will boggle your eyes! Moreover, these stations reveal a big part of soviet reality — the walls depict plenty of Propaganda , with party leaders looking down from images on the walls. Your local guide will share personal stories of his/her family from USSR times, giving you insight into Russia’s complicated past and present. Then we’re coming back up to street level, where we’ll take a break and refuel with some Russian fast food: traditional pancakes, called bliny. And then, stomachs satiated, we are ready to move forward! We’ll take the eco-friendly electric trolleybus, with a route along the Moscow Garden Ring. Used mainly by Russian babushkas(grannies) during the day, the trolleybus hits peak hours in the mornings and evenings, when many locals use it going to and from their days. Our first stop will be the Aviator’s House, one of Stalin’s Seven Sisters, followed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs — and you’ll hear the legends of what has gone on inside the walls. Throughout your Moscow tour, you’ll learn curious facts from soviet history while seeing how Russia exists now, 25 years after the USSR.

Traveler Reviews

This tour exceeded our expectations. Nikolai (Nick), our tour guide, was very knowledgeable, thorough, and has a great personality. He didn't take shortcuts and really covered everything that was on the agenda in great detail. We saw beautiful metro stations and learned the history behind them, including many of the murals and designs.

We did the tour with Anna her knowledge and understanding of the History surrounding the metro brought the tour alive. Well done Anna!

Moscow Metro

The Moscow Metro Tour is included in most guided tours’ itineraries. Opened in 1935, under Stalin’s regime, the metro was not only meant to solve transport problems, but also was hailed as “a people’s palace”. Every station you will see during your Moscow metro tour looks like a palace room. There are bright paintings, mosaics, stained glass, bronze statues… Our Moscow metro tour includes the most impressive stations best architects and designers worked at - Ploshchad Revolutsii, Mayakovskaya, Komsomolskaya, Kievskaya, Novoslobodskaya and some others.

What is the kremlin in russia?

The guide will not only help you navigate the metro, but will also provide you with fascinating background tales for the images you see and a history of each station.

And there some stories to be told during the Moscow metro tour! The deepest station - Park Pobedy - is 84 metres under the ground with the world longest escalator of 140 meters. Parts of the so-called Metro-2, a secret strategic system of underground tunnels, was used for its construction.

During the Second World War the metro itself became a strategic asset: it was turned into the city's biggest bomb-shelter and one of the stations even became a library. 217 children were born here in 1941-1942! The metro is the most effective means of transport in the capital.

There are almost 200 stations 196 at the moment and trains run every 90 seconds! The guide of your Moscow metro tour can explain to you how to buy tickets and find your way if you plan to get around by yourself.

Hi dear Vivien,

our journey is about to end. We are on our way to Guilin airport. It has been an awesome trip indeed. Each destination was well chosen and everything went smoothly. I am super happy for my sister and me to be able to experience such a wonderful travel through the most stunning landscapes in China. Thank you for the perfect organization. And thank you for the nice gift we got in Guilin. Really appreciate it.

My sister with her fan. We also got a beautiful stamp and ink. Thank you very much!

Guilin Tour

just want to record our thanks to you for your good planning, coordination and arrangement for our recent holidays to Dali, Lijiang and Xianggelila. The tour guides and drivers were warm and friendly and we felt safe, and enjoyed the trip very much.

All the best to you.

Zhangjiajie Tour

Hi Samantha,

Sunrise was very nice and checked us in to a nice room at 8:30 am. It’s been a while since we were in Shanghai, and it is a wonderful, clean city that’s very vibrant. It has been sunny and warm the last four days.

Dear Wing Zeng,

My family and I have now arrived safely back at home in Bangkok. We had a wonderful time on the cruise, and we would like to thank you very much for assisting us on the whole process, from booking the cabins to arranging transportation from Jingzhou to Maoping port. We are very impressed with your service.

As for your questions, here is my response:

1A: Wing Zeng always responds to our emails very promptly. At the beginning when I planned to book the cruise, Wing Zeng has been very patient to respond to all my questions about the cruise itinerary and the cabin types. I am very happy with her service.

2A: With Wing Zeng's help, our tour arrangements were very smooth. Our family travel with one senior and one small child, so we were very careful about transportation to and from the port. On the day of embarkation, Wing Zeng helped us book a van transfer directly from our hotel in Jingzhou to the port, which made the embarkation process very smooth and enjoyable.

3A: Definitely. I highly recommend your service to anyone who wants to take the Yangtze cruises.

4A: I'm very satisfied with your service. Our travel consultant is very helpful and professional.

5A: It would be nice if you could give a little warning that the water level in Chongqing might be too low around this time of year. Originally, our cruise was scheduled to end at Chongqing Chaotianmen port. But because of the low water level, we had to disembark somewhere else and took a 2-hour drive to Chaotianmen. The cruise arranges the transfer smoothly and it worked out fine in the end. But if this is something that happens usually around this time of year, it would be nice to be given a little warning beforehand.
