Sertar Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Travelogue of Seda
A round trip of three days, with a long journey, just to see the charm of Seda.
The day before the trip, due to heavy snow, all the tickets booked online were cancelled. Worried about the trip being ruined, I contacted the scalpers in advance, in case I couldn't buy tickets, I would buy from the scalpers.
I was lucky. I arrived at the Seda Jinma Distribution Center in the morning and just bought the last bus ticket to the Buddhist Academy in the morning.
From the distribution center to the Buddhist Academy is about twenty to thirty kilometers. Along the way, the whole area of red houses is in sight, feeling that the journey of more than ten hours is not in vain.
Seda is very beautiful, as beautiful as another world.
Regrettably, when I walked down from the altar city to the library and prepared to return to the altar city, I suddenly felt dizzy and had altitude sickness, so I couldn't see the sky burial.
Perhaps it's just not destined with the sky burial.
When we were in the altar city, a Tibetan child came to us and said he could take us there. It costs 50 per person, which is actually taking a bus down the mountain and then walking up the mountain. Those who went said it was very tiring and not very pleasant in the end.
I had no feeling at all when I went to Yulong Snow Mountain at 4680 meters above sea level, and I didn't have altitude sickness at 4000 meters above sea level in Western Sichuan, but I had severe altitude sickness in Seda. Friends who go to Seda still need to be mentally prepared, bring oxygen, just in case.
There is a hospital in the Buddhist Academy, but it only opens at three o'clock in the afternoon in winter.
You don't have to take the sightseeing bus into the mountain when you go down the mountain. You can take the bus down the mountain. There are many drivers who pull passengers back to Chengdu or Seda County. You need to bargain. Some drivers charge 70 per person to Seda. If you get on the bus and there are no other passengers, you may not leave for half an hour or an hour.
My friends took a 7-seater car and paid 10 yuan per person to Seda County.
The pilgrimage place for purifying the soul|| Seda
||Seda. Seda, located in Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan Plateau. The plateau scenery of Seda County is beautiful, surrounded by mountains, countless maroon wooden houses are built along the mountain, the red that spreads all over the pits and valleys and spreads all over the slopes on all sides, stretches endlessly, and you can't see the edge at a glance. In the early morning, with the chanting, one can feel a kind of purification of the soul. At night, the lights gradually light up, illuminating the sky above Seda, which is incomparably beautiful. If you want to let go of some trivial matters, come on a pilgrimage of vision and soul.
Thinking of going to Seda, I advise you to think carefully!!!

In addition to religious temples, there are also attractions like the Hoxi Wildlife Conservation Area, Seda Five-Color Sea, and other beautiful sceneries.

How to shoot the most beautiful in Seda? These places and photography guides are shared with you!
, a sacred place.
is a gem in the hearts of every photographer. It is a piece of jade, and it is also a place where countless photographers are eager to explore and explore.
[Best location]
1
On the highest slope of the Buddhist College, it is also the most magnificent place. Arriving at the Mandala, I was fortunate enough to stand on a high point overlooking the valley. There are people who are long-headed everywhere, and there are people who are turning around. Also go through it! Turn on 108 laps for the one hundred and eight heroes that have emerged and are about to appear in your life.
1
shooting skills: If you want to take portrait photos, a stable tripod is a must. The angle between the position and the hall and the sun is about 100 degrees. Sidelight shooting can better shape light and shadow. The whole hall is shining brightly under the light of the morning sun. The houses around it are like the stars holding the moon, and the effect of the blur is better.
2 The southernmost hillside of the Buddhist College
From the Larong Hotel to the hillside is about 2 kilometers round and round, and friends who drive by themselves can drive directly to this hillside. For many photographers, this is also a must. Personally, I really like the night view here. It is very memorable and very beautiful to take a commemorative photo here.
Whether it is a Buddhist college or a celestial burial, it will strongly impact your senses. Maybe in the future and to blend in with the complex tastes, you have to rush on the road, but everything you see here will make you take a long time to recollect. The Buddhist College is gradually being dismantled, and it is late, and it may have changed.

The scenic area covers about 5 square kilometers, with an altitude of about 3500 meters, and is the only plateau karst forest landscape in China. The Moshizhen scenic area costs 60💰 per person
🛴How to Play
The most famous is the "Alien Planet", where there is a sign that says 'Must drive on Highway 318 in this lifetime', which is a check-in spot for many self-driving enthusiasts in Western Sichuan. Right next to it is the space suit experience station, where you can put on astronaut gear and walk in this fantastical stone forest, feeling like you're traversing outer space. Along the plank road, you can enter into a world of ravines and gullies. The 'Bone Gorge' from 'Candle in the Tomb: The Kunlun Shrine' is right here, with eerie white bones scattered all around.
🗺️Tour Route
There is only one tour route, from high to low, without retracing your steps, just follow the well-constructed wooden path, and after the tour, take the sightseeing bus back from the back gate.
Known as the 'Geological Bermuda of China', the entire scenic area is filled with strange mountains and rocks, making it very photogenic, especially on cloudy days~ (In reality, the Moshizhen rocks are blackish-grey, not as black as they appear with filters~)❗
White and black are colors that are easy to photograph, but seeing many young ladies in colorful ethnic costumes also looks surprisingly good~
Whether to Take the Sightseeing Bus
①The park has two gates, if you take the sightseeing bus, you enter from the main gate, if not, you enter from the side gate.
❷The sightseeing bus ride takes 5 minutes, if you walk it takes about 1 hour.
❸The sightseeing bus drops you off at the highest point of the scenic area, and the path is downhill all the way, with a very reasonable route that allows you to overlook from high up as well as enter closely from the branching plank roads.
④After touring the entire route, you will exit from the side gate and then take the sightseeing bus back to the parking lot.❗So overall, it is recommended to spend the 20💰 on a bus ticket for a round trip, as it saves both time and effort.
The most comprehensive guide to Moshishan Park
How should you respond when I present this photo, my lord?
📍Detailed address: Moshishan Park is located in Bamei Town, Daocheng County, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province
🚉Transportation strategy: Self-driving is the best option, switch to a shuttle bus at the entrance of the scenic area
⏳Best time to visit: It is recommended to visit from 9 am to 12 pm, as the direct sunlight and high temperatures in the afternoon can be intense due to the high altitude
🧳Preparation before departure: Booking tickets and shuttle bus tickets in advance on Ctrip can save you a lot of time. A camera is essential as mobile phones cannot capture the atmosphere in a grand manner. The UV rays are very strong, so it is advisable to apply sunscreen in advance. At the entrance, there are cowboy hats, fisherman hats, and sunglasses priced between 15 to 35 yuan. Remember to bargain with the seller, as they will usually give you a significant discount. There's no need to buy an expensive hat, but sunglasses are essential for taking great photos and protecting your eyes
🍽Dining recommendations: There's not much to eat at the entrance of the scenic area, and the prices are generally high. It's recommended to have a good breakfast beforehand. The scenic area is not very large, so after touring and taking photos, you can eat on the way to the next attraction
💰Average cost: The entrance fee is 60 yuan per person, and the shuttle bus is 20 yuan per person for a round trip
📝Tips: It's important to buy tickets online in advance to avoid long queues and save a lot of time. Inside the scenic area, there is yak yogurt for sale at 5 yuan per cup. If you haven't tried it, it's recommended to buy just one cup to share with friends and taste the unique flavor, which may not be to everyone's liking. Butter tea is 3 yuan per cup and is quite good. If you're only visiting Moshishan, you might want to try these two local specialties. However, if you plan to visit other places, the cost-performance ratio here might not be as high
🌟Highlights: Experience a visual sensation like that of an alien planet and enjoy the unique charm of the plateau. You can try horse riding for 120 yuan per person and see the entire landscape of Moshishan
