Kangding (2,616m), Sichuan
Kangding has a modern township and very Chinese in character. Kangding is on the bank of the Dadu River & has been considered the historical border between the Kham region of Tibet & the Sichuan region. Kangding has very scenic countryside and the popular Kangding love song is originated from here.
Countryside scenery near Kangding, Sichuan as viewed from the minivan's windows (coming from Garze, Qinghai) & a brief overnight stay (my 1st visit to Kangding) before heading to Chengdu (via Huaihua by train) & bus to Fenghuang in Hunan ! So another hardy & arduous train & bus journey awaiting me on the following day !
Countryside scenery from Kangding > Chengdu, Sichuan as viewed from the bus's windows ! Misty weather, winding & mountainous roads, falling rocks blocking the main trunk roads, traffic came to a standstill etc !
" The Kangding love song, singing the praises of Kangding's beautiful scenery; the treacherous Qinghai-Sichuan route, my first encounter and love at first sight in this fascinating town - a lovely place for budding lovers to rendezvous ! "
