Yading Village
亚丁村
A Tibetan village inside the scenic area, with stone houses built into the mountainside and views of Chenrezig Peak. A popular place for trekkers to stay.
Yading Village lies along the scenic area's sightseeing bus route at about 3,900 m above sea level. It is a traditional Tibetan village within the nature reserve, with stone-and-timber Tibetan houses stacked up the hillsides. In autumn the barley fields turn golden, and snowy peaks rise in the distance. Guesthouses in the village let you enter the core scenic area earlier and avoid the crowds, and you can see the snow peaks at sunrise, when their summits glow gold. You can get off the sightseeing bus to stop along the way, and the viewing platforms are free. Please respect villagers' daily lives and ask permission before photographing people.
