Tickets are hard to buy in the tourist season, so friends who want to go to Seda must prepare in advance.
Seda → Wuming Buddhist College:
Chartered to the foot of Wuming Buddhist College, chartered to 70 yuan in the off-season, and the price increases in the peak season. But the bus can only go to the foot of the Buddhist College, and then you need to take a bus. You can leave the change of the ticket in 3 yuan. The bus can't reach the top of the mountain, so we have to go to Tancheng by ourselves.
Wuming Buddhist College → Celestial Burial Platform:
This is also a chartered trip. From Seda to Buddhist College, you can leave a driver's phone number and contact in advance. The price is still around 15 yuan, and it will increase in peak season.
What does Seda eat?
Because it is in western Sichuan, Sichuan cuisine and hot pot are more common, and there is not much difference in taste. The local specialties are Tibetan food and yak soup. Tibetan food refers to yamen hot Tibetan food and baiwei Tibetan food. For yaks, Kangbala Yak House is not bad.
In addition to these, there are some places similar to jiaozi, which are not bad. However, after arriving at Wuming Buddhist College, there is a restaurant next to Larong Hotel, but it is vegetarian, with almost only noodles and hot and sour powder, and eggs will be provided.

Wuming Buddhist College: Larong Hotel, a standard room in 200 yuan, has hot water and a hair dryer for one night, but there is no heating, and there will be an electric blanket. Friends who want to see the night scene recommend this, but this Laron hotel does not accept reservations, so you should make reservations in advance.

What if the opposition rate is high?
Sertar county is about 3,800 meters above sea level, Larong Wuming Buddhist College is about 4,000 meters above sea level, and Larong Wuming Buddhist College is about 4,000 meters above sea level. The average person is healthy and can adapt to the plateau climate quickly.
The main symptoms of altitude sickness are headache, chest tightness, shortness of breath, vomiting, nausea and insomnia. Generally, these symptoms will gradually ease after a day or two. However, patients with severe heart disease, lung disease and hypertension are not suitable for traveling to the plateau to avoid common respiratory diseases such as colds and fever before departure.
Don't overeat, eat more vegetables, fruits and water, and drink butter tea, dairy products and beef and mutton in moderation to enhance the adaptability to the plateau climate. No, there is still strenuous exercise in this school.
Don't panic after altitude sickness, you can look at the reaction degree and targeted information. If the reaction is mild, rest, drink more water and exercise less, and it will be fine for a while. If it is serious, go directly to the hospital.
Where can I visit 1 and Wuming Buddhist College?
The Buddhist College has four views: panoramic view, night view, morning view and plateau valley view.
1. Panorama
After getting off the bus, you can see the panoramic view at the foot of the mountain. What you see are many red houses, and the magnificent building at the top is Tancheng. When I arrived in Tatan City, I was shocked to see the overlooking scenery.
2. Night view
Seda's night scene is also very shocking. At night, you can see the lights in the red room, just like thousands of flying fireflies. If you want to shoot, go to Tancheng, which is a very good shooting place.
3. Scenery in the morning
In addition to the night view at night, the scenic spots in Seda in the morning are also very charming. If you stay at the Laron Hotel, you can hear chanting in the morning. Open the window and you can see the smoke curling up. You can see the smoke from the monk's cooking mixed with the fog in the valley. This recycled Buddhist college is like a fairyland.
2. Tianzangtai
Celestial burial is to put the body in a designated place after death, cut up by celestial burial masters and swallowed by vultures. There will be a strong smell of corpses during celestial burial. Remember to wear a mask when you are buried in the sky. Don't take pictures. This is a disrespect for the deceased and Tibetan culture.
Celestial burial usually starts around 2 pm and lasts 1-2 hours.
Before the celestial burial begins, you can visit the vicinity of the celestial burial platform. There is a landmark building, Luoyanshan, which covers the skull and shows people the meaning of death and impermanence. There were vultures hovering in the sky before the celestial burial began, and when that day approached the beginning time, vultures would be more and more densely covered the whole hillside.
