🏔️ Hiking in Yading
Join me on an awe-inspiring journey through the breathtaking landscapes of Yading, often hailed as the last pure place on Earth and a real-life Shangri-La. In this captivating adventure, I trek with my mom amidst snow-capped peaks, turquoise lakes, and sacred valleys, following in the footsteps of explorers who marveled at its beauty decades ago.
We did two popular day hikes called the short trail and the long trail. These two trails are very popular and accessible to people of all fitness levels. Although altitude sickness may occur as the trail is between 4000-4700 meters.
If you want to avoid the crowd and have a more intense hike, you can do the 5-7 day Kora trek. Kora in Tibetan means circling the mountains, this trek circles the 3 holy mountains. You will need to bring your own camping equipment or hire a guide as there's no lodging on the trail. Many people also attempt the mini Kora which is just circling one mountain, this takes 1-2 days depending on your speed/fitness level.
We stayed in Riwa, it's a very developed town that's 15 minutes drive from Yading. Riwa is popular given it's at 2,900 meters so altitude sickness is rare. You can also stay at the only village inside the reserve - Yading village, however it is at a higher elevation ~4000 meters so you will feel the altitude more.
🏞️ The Tibetan Plateau:
Yading is on the eastern side of the Tibetan Plateau, which spans Tibet, Sichuan, and Qinghai. For that reason, it's also known as the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. Known as the "Roof of the World," the plateau is not only the highest and largest plateau on Earth but also a region of immense cultural and spiritual significance. As we hike through Yading, we'll have the chance to experience the rich tapestry of Tibetan culture, from prayer-flag adorned paths to encounters with friendly locals who have preserved their traditions for generations.
🌄 About Yading:
Yading, known for its awe-inspiring beauty, has a rich history of drawing adventurers and explorers. American explorer Joseph Rock's 1930 National Geographic feature brought Yading to the world's attention, forever sealing its place as a must-visit destination. Our journey takes you beyond the photos, letting you experience the magic for yourself.
Whether you're an experienced hiker or simply a lover of natural beauty, Yading promises an unforgettable experience that will leave you rejuvenated and in awe of Earth's most remarkable corners.

Heaven on earth! It is great to see the majestic mountains, beautiful lakes and the amazing monastery! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for your beautiful video and narrative. I was in Tibet in 2015 but not here. Makes me want to return and retrace your steps. The mountain peaks and turquoise lakes are stunning.
Wow amazing, I have yet to go to Tibet, definitely on my bucket list. There are still some travel restrictions in Tibet, but not on the Western Szechuan and Qinghai side, but it’s also a lot more developed.
The view is very beautiful.
Great video and thankyou for sharing your experience 😮.
Beautiful shots.. Love to see more Tibetan adventures of the majestic Himalaya.
Thanks a lot!

Thank you so much
Breathtaking sceneries. I would really appreciate if you take time to reply these questions. I am foreigner studying in China for the last few years. Since the covid has eased out I feel this is the perfect time to explore this amazing country.
1) is July/August a good time to hike the short trail and the long trail? I am looking for 1-2 days trekking, so I think it's perfect.
2) can I get to riwa from chengdu on a train? If not how can I find a bus?
3) is there any hotel in riwa that accept foreigners?
4) do I need a guide? How many hours did take to cover both 5 color and milk lake on the first day?
Thanks in advance. 😃
Fran...so beautiful. Really happy to see a new video from you. Thanks for including your mom! Why do people wear mouth and throat covering that are held in place by the ears?
It's sun and wind protection, it's sort of like a neck gaiter, but this type is more common in China :)
Wow! I love your video. Amazing! Peter Uon from Auckland, New Zealand
Loved the scenery, my friend. This is a very inspiring video. Thank you for allowing me to journey for a while to such a stunning place.

So wonderful. What month did you come here? Thanks
Looks so beautiful! Have you been to Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong? I went there last summer and it’s gorgeous there as well 😊
I went there when I was very young, worth going again!
Hi Fawn! I've just binge watched all your Asia videos as I am studying for a year in Hong Kong and want to make the most of it! Your videos are super inspiring. May I ask how did you find and book the bus that took you from Chengdu to Riwa?
🌹
come in paris, you will looooooooove it.
Hope to hike in Europe someday!
I like your vedios... nice one... please visit sri lanka also...
Maybe one day!
What month did you go to yading?😊
Tashi Delek😊
Thank you, I never knew the actual Tibetan spelling, only the Chinese sound! Very helpful!
Hi Fawn, may I know what is this tourist bus called so I can find out more about it? Does it stop along the way for sights? :)
Hi, do you use the app Ctrip? There are many options, search for chengdu yading bus there is a bus that departs at 6am daily, that one does not make stops except for bathroom breaks and lunch. There's also another one that stops in Kangding, and then it goes to Yading next morning. Otherwise, there are many packages where it's bus + hotels and you can different stops along the way. It's also possible to fly there, the bus is not the best, if you have enough people, getting a private car might be better, the flight is also not that expensive and is a good option.
What month did u visit?
Hi, I have some questions. Can i stay overnight in Yading? I plan to go in the next month.
Yes, you can stay in Yading village, it's inside the park....some people also camp, but you would need to bring your own equipment. I stayed in Riwa, it's a city 15-20 minutes away from the park.
Is that China? Is it a Tibetan country?
It's heartbreaking to see it beautifully
This is in China :)
Get used to it. Tibet is in China.
Hey!! I might need some travel advice! I am currently in Thailand and going to fly to Xishuang 🍌 (1 hour flight) , flight to Lijiang, and take cable car to Jade Dragon Snow mountain at 4760 meters, then will visit Meili snow mountain (6700 meters, unclimbed) and then take bus from shangri la, Yunnan to Yading. Just a tentative plan tho. Want to know how to book the bus ticket, thinking bus from Yading to Chengdu. I overheard that there are l scams sometimes, the bus driver might dump tourists at an area if not enough people on the bus…
Hey, you can buy the bus ticket online on any Chinese map app like (Gao De) from Yading to Sichuan, however note the bus does not pick up near the reserve, but in the town of Yading, which is an hour away. You can also see if the hotel can arrange any car share.
@@travelwithfawn thanks a lot! I recently learned to use GAO de map. 🗺️ Very useful. Did see the bus route! Seems like it only allows Chinese ID 身份证 to book for a bus ticket. I have a US passport :/
Is that China? Is it a Tibetan country?
it's Hawaii
