⚠️ Pitfall Tips

Save money, time & hassle
Acclimatization Stop
Kangding sits at roughly 2,600 m; spend a night here before pushing up to Mugecuo (~3,700 m) and beyond.
Zheduo Pass Traffic
The pass over Zheduo Mountain sees frequent traffic controls and winter black ice — check road conditions and carry snow chains.
Respect Local Customs
At Tibetan sites like Tagong, turn prayer wheels clockwise and do not photograph locals without permission.
Ticket Notes
Mugecuo admission plus shuttle runs roughly ¥190–220; check the official announcement for current rates.

Themed Spots & Activities
