📍Litang: The Highest Town You’ve (Probably) Never Heard Of

💞Reasons to Recommend: Tucked away in western Sichuan at 4,014 meters above sea level, Litang is one of the highest towns in the world — often called “The City in the Sky.” Despite its remote location, this Tibetan town offers jaw-dropping views, spiritual depth, and raw, untamed charm. 🚗Getting There Most travelers reach Litang from Chengdu via Kangding or Daocheng. You can take a long-distance bus, fly into Daocheng Yading Airport (the world’s highest civilian airport), or join a small group tour with 4x4 vehicles. The journey is long but incredibly scenic. ✨Tips • Bring warm clothes—even in summer, it’s chilly. • Drink lots of water, walk slow—altitude sickness is real. • Be respectful of local customs and monasteries. • Drones? Allowed, but fly respectfully. Litang isn’t for luxury seekers—but if you crave silence, starlight, and soul-level freedom, this is your place. #chinatravel #litang #chinasichuan #garze
