Highlights: Exploring Daocheng from the Clouds
For every runner dreaming of Western Sichuan, Daocheng Yading is a must-visit destination. Located in Yading Village, Shangri-La Town, Daocheng County, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, the area is guarded by three sacred snow peaks—Chenrezig, Jampayang, and Chanadorje—throughout the year. This is the last pure land on the Blue Planet. This is a hidden paradise in explorer Joseph Rock’s heart a century ago. This is a mecca for trail running aficionados worldwide. In autumn, Daocheng Yading becomes a fairy-tale world: fiery-red Sangdui meadows, golden grasslands at Luorong Pasture, and the finest natural and cultural sceneries of the Tibetan Plateau converge here.
The 2025 Daocheng Yading Skyrun will feature a high-altitude course that plunges deep into Yading’s most special peaks, offering runners ever-changing terrain and breathtaking landscapes. Tibetan cuisine along the route will serve as special energy replenishment—tsampa with butter tea, yak jerky with yogurt, Tibetan hotpot, and highland vegetables—a cultural and culinary experience as much as physical fuel.
