This trip to Daocheng included

This trip to Daocheng included a special stop in Zhongshan District, where I experienced a modern feel distinct from typical Tibetan areas. The city seamlessly blends natural landscapes with urban charm, making the journey full of surprises. I especially recommend "CARLOS FINE DINING." The restaurant's entrance offers a cool, rainy-day street view; the Western-style architecture paired with lush greenery creates a chill atmosphere, perfect for taking photos on social media! Whether it's sunny or cloudy, you can feel Daocheng's unique cultural charm.

Highlights: The perfect combination of nature and city, ideal for those wanting to experience Tibetan culture. Modern architecture paired with Western cuisine—a luxurious Daocheng experience without the need for a tent! 😎 A stroll on a rainy day or a coffee under a tree on a sunny day is absolutely therapeutic.
