Daocheng Aden is really beautiful, four people in the same group, the physical condition is good, afraid of not feeling difficult, there are squirrels, monkeys, all kinds of birds in the scenic area are really happy, there is a chance to go
Must come to Daocheng Aden! Definitely! Because when I saw the snowy mountains, the world was completely quiet. From the inside to the outside, it was clear. When I went, I only opened a short line, and I only saw the Pearl Sea. I must go again for a long line and will definitely come again.
Long line, magnificent snow-capped mountains, meadows, rhododendrons all over the mountains, blue milk sea, waterfall stream lake wild flowers and sheep... gather here, high altitude, suitable for slow walk, measure
First of all, it is not as bad as what is said on the Internet. I have a highland hiking experience (Gang Rinpoqi to the mountain, etc.) and the long and short lines are completed in a day. The online guide said that Chonggu Temple to Luorong Niuchang 3-4h. I walked in 1 hour and 40 minutes. The whole plank road is not difficult. Even if you walk for 2 hours, you can arrive. From Luorong Niuchang to Milk Sea 2h completion, it is also all steps and plank road no difficulty five-color sea back to Luorong Niuchang 1 and a half hours, and finally short-term completed in more than 1 hour. This trekking pole personally feels useless, there are many iron plank roads, all of which are holes and nowhere to use, and secondly, there is no gravel road to borrow. High anti-I have no reaction, there are indeed people on the road high anti-serious, but high anti-psychological effects account for a large part, do not think about it, take a good rest and eat 7 points full, no reaction or slight reaction do not inhale oxygen, suck it more difficult to adapt. Finally, Daocheng Aden has been perfect, there are a lot of supplies, don't carry a lot of food and drink, must be light, this is not a pure hiking line does not need to be reloaded! On the road, many people are carrying bags and carrying school bags. It is really painful for people who have no plateau experience. Back a small bag with a bottle of water and chocolate and other high-calorie snacks.
