On the way back from Daocheng Yading! Here comes the ultimate no-altitude-sickness guide~

✨Key points! Core secrets to avoid altitude sickness👇 **1. Stock up on oxygen!**💨 Our gear (for two people): ✅50L oxygen bags ×2 ✅Mask-style oxygen cans 1000ml×24 ✅Nasal tube oxygen cans 1400ml×12 **2. Oximeter is a must!**📟 Don’t wait for headaches to use oxygen! Monitor before departure~ Nanjing blood oxygen >96, but it quietly dropped to <90 in Kangding (no symptoms!). Immediately started oxygen! **3. Accommodation altitude = Lifesaver!**🏨 First night strongly recommended at low altitude! Avoid Xinduqiao / Litang at all costs! 👉First stop: Kangding, second stop: Yajiang. Challenge higher altitudes only after acclimatization~ **4. Stay warm above all!**🧣 For altitude sickness / migraine sufferers: 💨Always wear a hat when windy! 👕Adjust clothing layers promptly! 📅Day 1-2 Itinerary Day 1: Nanjing - Chengdu Tianfu - Kangding✈ First night in Western Sichuan must be in Kangding! Hidden gem B&B we found👇 🏡Mushan Yingxue・Spring Luxury Hot Spring Villa (Kangding Branch) ✅Only 3km from downtown, easy for self-driving~ ✅Snow-capped mountains and greenery right outside the window, far from the hustle~ ✅Spacious courtyard with convenient parking~ We stayed in the private hot spring king room♨ ✨Soak in the private tub anytime! 30 minutes to melt away fatigue~ ⚠Turn on floor heating in advance to avoid catching a cold! The front desk staff even showed us the starry sky tent room🌌 Unbeatable ambiance! Sipping tea under the stars on a clear night is pure bliss~ (Had to skip it this time for the hot spring, but definitely next time!) Day 2: Kangding - Selalinkou - Red Sea - Tagong - Xinduqiao - Yajiang🚗 Highly recommend National Highway 434! The Kangding to Xinduqiao section beats Route 318 in scenery~ 🚗Fewer cars, stunning views, and an exhilarating drive! 👗Western Sichuan dressing rule: Four seasons in one day! Lifesaver essentials👇 👚T-shirt (base layer) +🧥fleece (warmth) +🌂windproof/rainproof jacket +👖pants +🧣thermal leggings +👟hiking shoes Style without freezing!👗Sweaters / leather jackets +🎩hats also look awesome~ 🍲Food recommendations Kangding: 🐂Yak hotpot, generous beef slices are so satisfying! Paired with wild mushrooms for extra flavor~ Yajiang: 🍄Matsutake chicken soup, warm and comforting! Ending with noodles cooked in the broth is pure happiness~ 📌Tips: Pack enough🍬glucose /🍿snacks /🍱self-heating meals! Eat on schedule—never go hungry~ #DaochengYading #WesternSichuanRoadTrip #AltitudeSickness #AltitudeGuide #WesternSichuanAccommodation #MustStayKangding #HotSpringB&B #MushanYingxue #WesternSichuanOutfits #HiddenRoutes 🌟Wishing everyone a fantastic Western Sichuan trip with zero altitude sickness~ Happy travels and safe returns!🚀
