You need to pay attention to the following when traveling to Daocheng, Aden: Prepare enough oxygen to cope with the reaction at high altitudes. Pay attention to climate change and bring enough clothes. The weather in Daocheng is changeable, with large temperature differences between morning and evening. When you first enter the plateau, rest more, drink more water, eat more fruits, and avoid smoking and alcohol. Pay attention to protecting the environment, do not litter, and do not damage the natural landscape. During activities such as mountain climbing and hiking, you need to pay attention to safety and abide by relevant regulations and tips. Due to the long journey, you may not be able to eat on time, so you can prepare some chocolate, beef jerky, etc. to replenish your energy in time. Before entering the Yading Scenic Area, you can prepare some small nuts, because there are many small squirrels in the Yading Scenic Area and they will look for you to eat. After arriving at the Aden Scenic Area, you can prepare some sweat towels (you will sweat when climbing mountains) and small shoulder bags. When visiting the Aden scenic spot, you need to pay attention to the time and try to avoid visiting during peak periods to avoid crowds. Do not run or exercise strenuously in the scenic area to avoid altitude sickness. Try to drink as little water as possible while climbing as there are no toilets along the way. Be aware that there is a lot of horse manure under your feet, so don’t step on it. If it is late, the scenic area staff will not let you climb the Five Colored Sea.
