Yading 5

My final hike took me to frog lake. A couple of chinese hired horses and with me walking our guides took us to a very peaceful route to another lake. Quite a lot of going up hence the horses but i enjoyed the hike and felt very fit. Next day it was the trip to Daocheng then yesterday to here Kanding. It was much prettier with more snow around but in Kanding that was rain.
The original plan was to return to my old faves of Tagong and Danba but with so much time spent in Yading something has to be missed. Always the problem with short holidays.
But overall thouroughly recomend the route. Some people on blogs rated Yading higher than Juizhaogou and Torres del Paine which had even Jeremy Clarkson grabbing the camera. Having seen those two in the full glory of autumn it is prohably unfair of me to make the comparison. I would say they are more scenic but here has the cultural mix thrown in which makes for a great all round trip. Anyway sun just come out so will check Kanding out on a quiet Sunday.
