An absolutely phenomenal destination. Budget an entire day and make sure you get an early start as the high-altitude makes the physical exertion more taxing. Transportation is provided to the trailhead but then you’re on your own. There are lots of stairs!

We went to Yading scenic area around end of Nov. It’s warmer than we expected and it’s the start of low season that entrance to the park was free. Less tourists, good weather and free entrance make such a great timing to visit the magnificent site.

It takes a long long bus ride to reach Yading National Scenic Park, but it’s an amazing place. Haven’t even managed to get into the park proper yet and am already impressed with the scenery. Just be forewarned that’s it’s VERY difficult to secure a hotel as a foreigner during the off-season. #naturalwonders

I brushed Daocheng Yading again in October. It is really the most beautiful blue planet in October. I dont know how to drive without a car.
When to start, I cant help but brush a few times for the place I like! Going to the same place in different seasons, the feelings are completely different! This time, the second brush chose Daocheng Yading in the most beautiful season at the end of October, and by taking the bus in Chengdu, it is measured to go to Daocheng Aden is also super convenient and save money
- Transportation / Hh / super money-saving bus
Xinnanmen station 270 270 270
From the Chengdu passenger station, you can buy tickets online in advance (a certain course)! There is only one bus per day, it takes 2 days to stay in Kangding for 1 night! Drivers along the way will also stop to take pictures, eat what, the overall experience is not bad!
The secret must be bought online in advance, such a seat can be selected in advance, the first line of sight is really not too good

Additional Information
Introduction
Daocheng Yading, also known as Yading Nature Reserve, is known by locals as Aden Scenic Area. Located in the southern part of Daocheng County in Ganzi Prefecture, it is mainly composed of three mountains, Xiannairi, Yangmaiyong, and Xianuoduoji, as well as surrounding rivers, lakes, and alpine meadows. There are not only magnificent and sacred snow-capped mountains in the scenic area, but also vast meadows, colorful forests, and blue crystal clear lakes. Hiking on foot like the local Tibetans is a better way to experience the scenery in Yading. However, due to the high altitude of the Aden Protected Area, the entire walk still requires considerable physical fitness.

An absolutely phenomenal destination. Budget an entire day and make sure you get an early start as the high-altitude makes the physical exertion more taxing. Transportation is provided to the trailhead but then you’re on your own. There are lots of stairs!
Daocheng Yading in Sichuan is a must to visit. Snow capped mountains, deep gorges with snow melted rivers cut deep into the mountains. Superb fresh mountain air and awesome autumn colours in November. Enchanting and fairy like atmosphere not to be missed.
The transportation is not convenient. From chengdu there have only public bus or you have to rent a car to go there. But it is very beautiful. It worth to climb up to the mountain to see the lake
Beautiful park, even in the rainy weather. I can only imagine how beautiful it is on the sunny days. No information in English, because of this we did not manage to reach Milk Lake and 5 colors lake. If you go there, head straight there, take electric car (additional tickets needed) and take 9 km trek to the lake and back. After you can visit Pearl lake, as the distance is shorter and you don't need to keep an eye on electric car schedules.
One of the most beautiful parks in China. Clearly marked trails, and convenient transport. Within the park, there are many memorable destinations - the milk sea, five lakes, cattle farm. The milk sea is the furthest at 9km from the entrance reaching 4700m. The air is fresh, water is pure, and tourists are many. Most are not prepared for the conditions and altitude so the narrow trails are bottle-necked in a colorful assortment of umbrellas. Tourists suck on oxygen cannisters all the way up, but they still cannot keep a decent pace. During the wet season, it rains nearly everyday. There are no restaurants and toilets are few. Be prepared, your fellow tourists will have altitude sickness as I witnessed many people throwing up, and many people sleeping along the trail. Overall, I very much enjoyed my time! (did not get altitude sickness, packed light, used the electric car, drank plenty of water, visited all the parks destinations in one day)Go early morning, finish by 3pm.
