The Yading Natural Reserve is exquisite and humbling and out-of-this-world beautiful - and the most exhausting thing I have ever done! ! ! Remember, it's 15,000 feet above sea level - I took high altitude pills and carried oxygen (in a blue pillow, obtained in Yading, from the Hospital), and I still was totally exhausted - and exhilarated by what I saw ! The mountain peaks, the glacial lakes, the waterfalls, the prayer flags, the thousand other people who were either crying or gasping for breath, or taking selfies, made it an unforgettable experience! Everyone on the path was going through the same thing, so people were supportive, concerned, friendly, and EAGER to have their picture taken with waiguoren "foreigners"! Prepare yourself for this visit - it can be a killer - but, by golly, it is AWESOME !!!
