On May 8th, 2018, at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, I arrived at Daocheng County. The car stopped near the White Tower in Daocheng, so that everyone can stay here. Daocheng Baita, also known as Zunsheng Tallinn, Victory Tower, is called Langjie Qu Deng in Tibetan. It is said that when Sakyamuni was in the middle of the year, many of the servants prayed for the world to stay in the law, and the Buddha would repair the tower and personally bless the light to represent the body.

Taocheng Baita is located at the bridgehead of Daocheng Bridge, behind the Daocheng Gas Station. The pure square is the base of the Daocheng White Tower. The White Tower is divided into 3 parts, the spire, the tower body, the tower base, and the base. There are rows of prayer wheels in the seat for the worship of the Tibetans. The tower is divided into three parts, and the top is dedicated to a bodhisattva.

The Daocheng Baita is also known as the Baita Temple, the largest white tower in Ganzi Prefecture.

The main building of Baita is a large pagoda with a height of 37 meters. The three-storey throne of the pagoda is built according to the proportion of the base of the Temple of Heaven in Beijing. This three-story throne has a total of 512 brass prayer cylinders and a number of stone reliefs.

The outdoor tower in the white pagoda. The outdoor tower is usually built near the temple, and there are 119 small towers in the Baita Park that surround the main tower, forming a unique Tallinn. The appearance of the white tower is as white as jade, below the upper circle, and it is magnificent.

The main body of the tower has a large Buddhist temple in four directions, mainly in Chinese style. In addition to the main tower, another 107 towers of four meters high surround the main tower. On the first tower wall of the tower of the Great Pagoda, there are 176 patterns of various national protected animals, and 512 hand-turning wheels with brass texture.

The golden dome, the sun and the moon, the umbrella cover, the eaves drip mold, the thirteen-layer Falun Zhongyi wheel, the umbrella cover lotus, the Tibetan rose and the treasure bottle door, Liu Ling The seat is made of brass and is affixed with No. 98 pure gold.

The interior of the Zangjing Pavilion “Non-Fine Clean Hall” has a number of Chinese-style woodcarvings. The main Buddha in the temple is a Buddha statue of Sakyamuni, which is 2.1 meters high, and the height of the six-soul seat is 2.6 meters. Before the Zangjing Pavilion, there was a “dry furnace” with a height of 3 meters and a width of 1.5 meters.

The White Tower in Daocheng is the only park in the Kangnan area. It is the only one in the world with the supreme white tower in the hearts of Tibetan compatriots.

The White Tower is the only place for visitors to enter Daocheng County. It is also the first lesson to visit Daocheng. The local Tibetans are here to turn the tower every day, turning clockwise three times to the White Tower. A compulsory course for the morning, middle and evening of the people.

Leaving the White Tower, we went to the Daocheng Holy Land Aden Hotel. The hotel facilities are three-star standard and the rooms are very comfortable. This is probably a medium-sized hotel in Daocheng. Now there are many quite high-end hotels in the small Daocheng County, which are all for tourism.

Dacheng County is located on the southwestern edge of Sichuan Province, China, south of Ganzi Prefecture. It is located in the southeast of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and east of the Hengduan Mountains. It belongs to Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Kham Tibetan Area. Daocheng County is 27°58'~29°30' north latitude, 99°56'~100°36' east longitude, 174 kilometers long from north to south, 63 kilometers wide from east to west, east to Jiulong County, and west to Xiangcheng County. It is connected to Litang County in the north, to the Muli Tibetan Autonomous County in the south, and to the Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Yunnan in the southwest.

Dacheng, the ancient name "rice dam". Tibetan means open valley ditch. The Eastern Han Dynasty is a white wolf, the Tang Dynasty is Tubo, the Yuan is a Tubo and other road Xuanweisi Division, Ming is a Duo Gan Dusi, Qing is a Litang toast. In the thirty-third year of Guangxu (AD 1911), it was officially approved to set up "Taocheng County", which was under the jurisdiction of Kangding. "Xikang Tujing" records: "In the thirty-three years of Guangxu, because of the trial of rice cultivation here, it was renamed Daocheng County, and I wished it a success." In the 28th year of the Republic of China (AD 1939), Xikang Province was established, renamed Daocheng County, and belonged to the Fifth Administrative Inspectorate of Xikang Province. In December 1950, it belonged to the Xikang Tibetan Autonomous Region. In 1955, it belonged to the Xikang Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture; in 1955, it belonged to the Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Sichuan Province.

Dacheng County is not a well-known small county in western Sichuan. Since Daocheng Yading was identified as the last pure land on the blue planet, on January 25, 2002, Riwa Township was renamed Shangri-La Township. . This secluded county town is becoming more and more famous and has become the hottest place in southwestern Sichuan. In the current county town, you can't help but admit that the appearance is more and more neat and beautiful, and it is well-deserved as the most beautiful county in China.

We settled in the hotel and went to the street to settle the dinner and buy the food that entered the Aden scenic spot the next day. The leader who arranged the Aden scenic spot to eat must be very expensive, it is necessary to prepare some dry food. There are many places to eat in Daocheng County, and almost all meals are available all over the country, but the price is really high. A bowl of noodles costs 20 yuan, and a bowl of 100 meters of porridge costs 5 yuan. If you order, you can go to the market with you.

The supermarket products in Daocheng County are very rich, the price is reasonable, and we bought the necessary food after the meal. Then go to the Daocheng River to see the night view of Baita, visit the county snow mountain square, return to the hotel to rest well, and look forward to the coming of the next day.
