Travelogue of Seda

A round trip of three days, with a long journey, just to see the charm of Seda. The day before the trip, due to heavy snow, all the tickets booked online were cancelled. Worried about the trip being ruined, I contacted the scalpers in advance, in case I couldn't buy tickets, I would buy from the scalpers. I was lucky. I arrived at the Seda Jinma Distribution Center in the morning and just bought the last bus ticket to the Buddhist Academy in the morning. From the distribution center to the Buddhist Academy is about twenty to thirty kilometers. Along the way, the whole area of red houses is in sight, feeling that the journey of more than ten hours is not in vain. Seda is very beautiful, as beautiful as another world. Regrettably, when I walked down from the altar city to the library and prepared to return to the altar city, I suddenly felt dizzy and had altitude sickness, so I couldn't see the sky burial. Perhaps it's just not destined with the sky burial. When we were in the altar city, a Tibetan child came to us and said he could take us there. It costs 50 per person, which is actually taking a bus down the mountain and then walking up the mountain. Those who went said it was very tiring and not very pleasant in the end. I had no feeling at all when I went to Yulong Snow Mountain at 4680 meters above sea level, and I didn't have altitude sickness at 4000 meters above sea level in Western Sichuan, but I had severe altitude sickness in Seda. Friends who go to Seda still need to be mentally prepared, bring oxygen, just in case. There is a hospital in the Buddhist Academy, but it only opens at three o'clock in the afternoon in winter. You don't have to take the sightseeing bus into the mountain when you go down the mountain. You can take the bus down the mountain. There are many drivers who pull passengers back to Chengdu or Seda County. You need to bargain. Some drivers charge 70 per person to Seda. If you get on the bus and there are no other passengers, you may not leave for half an hour or an hour. My friends took a 7-seater car and paid 10 yuan per person to Seda County.
