Derong is a stop in Sun Valley worth a special stop. One day, between Xiayong and the Jinsha River, encounter the unique atmosphere of Derong.
The first impression De Rong gives is almost always from the lower ranks. When it actually appears before your eyes, the imagination in the picture suddenly gains weight, and the journey officially begins from that moment.
When it comes to Derong, locals usually mention the Jinsha River first. Only after experiencing it do you realize that landmarks are never isolated scenery, but the gateway to an entire segment of life.
Momuli hides another side of Derong. With less crowding from tourists and more daily warmth, you suddenly feel like you've briefly become one of the people here.
If you have the energy, go explore the canyon. There's no standard answer there, only your own rhythm, perfectly filling your itinerary.
Derong taught me one thing: you don't have to chase every sight, just as Below's Crowd taught me—the best scenery is always where you're willing to stop and look at it carefully.
