Daocheng Yading｜760km apart, just to see Yangmaiyong once

I saw Yangmaiyong in pictures online a long time ago. The sharply carved mountain shape instantly attracted me. Although I missed the lush greenery of midsummer and the colorful forests of autumn, the solemnity of winter still fascinates me. The beauty of Yangmaiyong is different from the vastness of Tibet and the grandeur of southern Xinjiang. Beneath the snowy peaks lie alpine pastures, where nature and animals coexist in harmony. High-altitude hiking outfit tips📌 The thin air and cold wind at high altitudes are constant companions. Plus, your body generates heat while walking, so how you dress really matters. • Upper body: quick-dry shirt + down vest + shell jacket + cashmere hat I wore a Camel brand three-in-one shell jacket with down, made from self-developed MICROTOP-TEX Weifeng 3L fabric. It has high waterproofing at 20,750mmH₂O, resists rain and snow, and withstood the fierce winds at the mountain pass. The built-in down vest can be added in cold weather to prevent hypothermia. • Lower body: shell pants + quick-dry pants + hiking boots • Trekking poles help save 50% of your energy Daocheng Yading long route📍 Luorong Pasture - Milk Sea - Five Color Lake Total round trip 5km / elevation gain 550m The park shuttle bus arrives at Zhaguanbeng Station (55 minutes) Electric car to Luorong Pasture (30 minutes, round trip 70 RMB) Aden Village is at a high altitude; it is recommended to stay in Shangri-La Town, which is a 10-minute drive to the park parking lot and offers convenient dining and accommodation. I hope to visit Yangmaiyong’s beautiful mountain shape again in midsummer.
