Daocheng Yading Travel
Daocheng Yading Nature Reserve is a big nature park located in Daocheng near the border to Yunnan Province. It is considered to be the heartland of the former Shangri-La, the mythical land on earth. A visit to Daocheng Yading involves days of driving and difficult walking at high altitude but it is worth as it has the very beautiful lakes Milk Lake, Pearl Lake and Wuse Lake as well as the three holy mountains named Chenrezig, Jampayang and Chenadorje.
The three sacred peaks of Yading (亚丁 Konkaling) Sichuan 2002
This is a trek through a wintery looking landscape around the three peaks of Jambeyang, Shenrezig and Chandorje. They are in the Yading Nature Park of Daocheng, Sichuan province, China. I made the trip in the spring of 2003, so this is late snowfall. The site was first described to the outside world by the explorer and botanist Joseph Rock. Read more about it at
Visit High Altitude Yading Nature Reserve, China
Stunning, high mountains over 20,000 feet and equally stunning high altitude! Three sacred snow-clad mountains dominate the reason Chinese tourists flock to Yading. Most, like us, without a thought of acclimitizing.
We took it slow and never did manage to walk to the most important sights (nature sights) because of the altitude. A young girl spilled her stomach contents over a bridge along the way, reinforcing the importance of acclimitzation.

10 Stunning Photos of Yading Nature Reserve, Sichuan
Yading is a national level reserve in Daocheng County, in the southwest of Sichuan Province, China. It is a mountain sanctuary and major Tibetan pilgrimage site comprising three peaks.
The peaks are seen as emanations of the three boddhisatvas Chenrezig (仙乃日), Jampayang (央迈勇) and Chana Dorje (夏诺多吉), with Chenrezig being the highest peak at 6032 meters (19790 ft.) above sea level.
Yading is within the Tibetan Autonomous Region (TAR) and is also part of the Sichuan Province.
Chenrezig is the Tibetan name for Avalokiteshvara, the Buddha of Infinite Compassion. The name Avalokiteshvara means “Lord who looks down with compassion.”
Local Tibetans believed that they will be able to achieve their wishes if they can worship Mt. Chenrezig three times in their life.
Chong Gu Temple (冲古寺), stands 3880 meters (12729 ft) high above the sea level, is located at the foot of Chenrezig Peak. Chong Gu Temple was destroyed badly; it has no data today to imply its building time.
Named after the bodhisattva of power and energy, Mt Chana Dorje reaches 5958 m (19547 ft). Among the three holy mountains, the shape of Mt Chana Dorje is closest to a pyramid.
This region was designated as a nature reserve in the late 1990’s. The famous snow lotus is found in these rocky slopes.
Jampelyang is a bodhisattva associated with wisdom in Mahayana Buddhism. Tibetans from the region have long considered the 3 peaks of Chenresig, Jampelyang and Chana Dorje to be the “abode of the gods”.
Pilgrimage circuits go around the entire region as well as around each individual mountain. Local Tibetans try and complete a circuit around the highest mountain in the reserve, Chenresig, at least once a year.

Thousand Stone Castle Kingdom, Danba | Tibet, China
Thousand Stone Castle Kingdom, Danba | Tibet, China
The county of Danba is located in Tibetan Plateau in western Sichuan, China. Damba means “Rock City”, but it sounds better to call it as the “kingdom of the thousand castles of stone.” This area of Tibetan-speaking hamlets perched stunningly on 8,000-foot-high mountainsides that loom over the town of Danba, has long been a way station on a circuit through the country's southwest, which is home to some of China's most exotic travel destinations. The groups of castles are scattered around strategic positions in the valley or near villages. Towers and citadels were built hundreds of years ago, for defensive purposes and passing messages between different villages. The height of these stone-built military structures is often above 30 meters, while the tallest tower measures 60 meters in height. Looking from afar, the scene of groups of towers and castles standing in the gorgeous Danba valley is breathtaking.
Danba or Rongzhag, is famous for Thousand stone castle kingdom, with many kinds of old stone castles like watchtower, Qionglong in ancient, scattered over the county, built as early as 1700BC. The watch tower in Shuopo village is very varities. There used to be 5,000 watchtowers in Danba, but only 343 that mostly date back 200 to 1,000 years remain. Local inhabitants have a custom of adding one storey to a watchtower to mark each year of a boy's growth until he reaches 18 years old. Usually 30 meters high, Dongba's highest watchtower stands at 60 meters, with four, five, eight or thirteen corners. During Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) wars in the area that lasted for 30 years these watchtowers were a vital aspect of military defense as they could provide human sanctuary for 15 days. The height of watch tower from 16-35meters, they stand on hillsides or the top of hills. The materials for the watch tower as stone slabs for the walls, stone blocks for the foundations. Usually designed as ploygonal shapes, such as square, pentagon, hexagon, and octagon, and the best watch tower is 13-sides watchtower as a pearl in Damba area (only about 3 13-sides watchtowers in Gyarong Tibetan area). 4kinds of Watchtower are protected very well in Rongzhag: Strategic Paas, Bezcon-Fire, Village and Dwelling as its different usage.
The county varies greatly in altitude, from peaks that are as high as 5,820 meters to river valleys as low as 1,700 meters. The Big Jinchuan and small Jinchuan Rivers meet here, marking the beginning of the Dadu River. The green mountains and waters, birds and flowers, is the most brilliant pearl of Kantse. The Tibetan-Gyarong style buildings and watchtowers are surrounded by fields and orchards.

GoPro: Yading winter solo trek China - climbing motivation
The Yading kora completed in the winter. Sacred trek in remote China.
Two days alone in the wilderness. 4600m altitude. No network coverage, no internet or emergency calls. Not a single person within day's walking distance. True solitude. Tent and gear terribly heavy. Unable to sleep, body didn't acclimatise. Legs hurt, lungs grasping for air. How come there are so many stars in the sky? So that's how the Milky Way looks like. Even satellites traversing the sky are visible. Complete silence. Dehydrated, but the last litre of water must last. Dawn brings back the magnificent views. Another 12 hours to walk.

Epic Scenic View From Shangrila To DaoCheng,YaDing
The most scenic bus ride i ever have had. A 11-hr+ bumpy bus ride that travelled from Shangrila bus station香格里拉客运站 to DaoCheng YaDing/稻城亚丁. The elevation was crazy that numerous ascends / descends of more than 3000M+ and highest point was about 4700M+ at mountainous pass. A good climatise trip for me but would likely to be a hell-ride for those whom has AMS.
