There is a place called Daocheng | Daocheng Yading Travel Guide

1️⃣ Budget: Tickets 🎫 + sightseeing bus 266, then if you take the long route, Chonggu Temple - Luorong Pasture round trip 70, buying your own oxygen tank and oral liquid costs about 150, plus one-way horseback riding 200, personally not recommended to ride (depends on individual physical condition). Yading is divided into long and short routes, with three specific routes you can check out in Yading. All start by taking the sightseeing bus to Zhaguanbeng, which takes about 45 minutes. Personally, I feel the mountain road is easier to walk than Siguniang Mountain because I didn’t get carsick. Then walk about 15 minutes to reach Chonggu Temple. 2️⃣ The short route is Chonggu Temple - Pearl Lake - Chonggu Meadow, round trip 3.5 km, takes about 3 hours. 3️⃣ The long route is from Chonggu Temple by sightseeing bus to Luorong Pasture (round trip bus fare 70💰), then Gongga Lake - Milk Lake - Five Color Lake, round trip 10 km, takes seven to eight hours. (At Luorong Pasture, there is horseback riding, one way 200💰. We didn’t ride because it only covers the first 2.5 km. Staff will say to save energy or something, but this part of the road is relatively flat and easy to walk.) 4️⃣⚠️ Note that staff will start advising people to turn back from Five Color Lake after 3 PM, so be sure to manage your time well. If you travel light, bring a trekking pole and a bottle of oxygen and head straight to Five Color Lake, which takes 17 minutes; with a backpack, it probably takes half an hour. 5️⃣ To climb Yading, we bought oxygen tanks and a bottle of medicine the night before when we stayed in Danba (the pharmacy said one bottle lasts a whole day 😂, very expensive at 70 per bottle, we drank it the morning of the Yading climb, we called it the “magic pill” 🤣). As a result, although my friend had more severe altitude sickness than me, she still reached Milk Lake. Later she couldn’t walk anymore and didn’t go to Five Color Lake. 6️⃣ Trekking poles: It’s quite recommended to bring trekking poles for climbing Yading, it really saves effort. Of course, two young guys born after 2000 in our group didn’t use trekking poles and were much faster than us. From Luorong Pasture to Milk Lake took them about an hour, but it took us at least 3 hours to climb up.
