Chamdo is a must-visit stop among the tea-horse towns. For two days and one night, between Qiangbalin Monastery and the Lancang River, you'll encounter the unique atmosphere of Chamdo.
Upon arriving in Chamdo, Qiang Balin Monastery immediately took the lead. In the morning light, it quietly spreads out like the first calling card handed to this place, making people unconsciously slow their pace.
Leaving half a day for the Lancang River was the most cost-effective decision for this trip to Chamdo. Details unfold at your fingertips and before your eyes, more satisfying than any other check-in.
Karuo is a gift from Chamdu to the slow walker. When you are willing to pause for a beam of light or a gust of wind, it gives its softest part.
The evening tea horses are the most lively. Find a nearby small restaurant and enjoy a slow drink under the night sky of Chamdo, retelling the day's scenery over the cups.
The goodness of Chamdo is something you slowly savored after you leave. When you suddenly think of Qiang Baling Wat elsewhere, you'll understand: some places are meant to be missed repeatedly.
