Kangding | A Severely Underrated Treasure of a Small Town (with a 2-day Tour Guide)

| A Severely Underrated Treasure of a Small Town (with a 2-day Tour Guide). How many people, like me, fall in love with a city because of a song Every time I go to Western Sichuan The first stop is always Kangding The familiar ballad involuntarily comes to mind 🎶 Galloping horses on the mountain slopes ⛰️ A drifting cloud in the sky ☁️ As the eternal first stop on a trip to Western Sichuan The cultural and natural scenery of Kangding is really underrated Please reserve at least two days for her Not only can you experience the Tibetan folk customs, but there are also countless delicacies and beautiful sights! Attached is the Kangding 2-day tour guide 🚘 3.5h from Chengdu, all the way on the highway 🧥 Altitude 2600m, not prone to altitude sickness but with strong UV rays, large temperature difference in summer, use sunscreen during the day, wear spring/autumn jackets at night 🍽️ Recommended to try the local favorite yak mushroom soup hotpot all year round! The local wild mushrooms and yak meat are delicious without much seasoning! First boil the mushrooms, then drink the soup, and finally dip the beef, every bite is incredibly fresh! There's a rich variety of mushrooms, and the freshly cut yak meat is tender! We chose Shu Jiu Ji, there are several stores in Kangding, all doing good business, really reliable! Day1 🔺 Kangding New Town Area Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture Museum, no tickets required and no reservation needed, six galleries on three floors are all worth a visit! From nature to culture, it covers the past and present of Ganzi! The platform at the entrance offers a view of the snow-capped mountains 🏔️, perfect for photos 📸 🔺 Kangding Old Town Area Stroll along the Zheduo River that runs through the city, visit Kangding Love Song Square and the winding town, both day and night offer completely different experiences, both worth seeing! The whole city is filled with Tibetan-style architecture, even casual street photos look great! The prayer wheels in the winding town, the arcades next to them, and the glass bridge are all great spots for photos! Relax with a cup of Tibetan coffee ☕ Try some Tibetan mixed sweets, highland barley cakes 🫓 Day2 🔺 Namo Temple There are many temples in Kangding, but Namo Temple is relatively less crowded and more photogenic! Built during the Northern Song Dynasty, the majestic double-eaved Xieshan-style architecture is resplendent in the sunlight, breathtaking! 🔺 Yajiageng Just 0.5h drive from Kangding city center! You can hike or drive to the deepest part (off-road vehicle recommended) Meadows, lakes, yaks, sea of flowers... Lift your head to see Mount Gongga 🏔️ 360° of unobstructed beautiful scenery!
