We are approaching Kangding and snow capped mountains appear.

Kangding Township. 60km west of Chengdu, Kangding is the county seat of Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture[TAP]. The fairly large town is cradled in a steep valley with a collection of modern concrete buildings and dark-roofed houses randomly scattered along the torrential Zheduo River. Kangding is well-known throughout China for a popular Kangding Love Song / 康定情歌. While travelers are more allured by the stunning scenery in the vicinity consisting of snowy mountains, sweeping grasslands, glaciers and monasteries, as well as its unique Khampa charm hailing from mixed cultures.The place was regarded by some westerners as where Tibet really begins. For centuries, the town has been the trade center of the Han and Tibetan cultures. The central streets bustle with trading activity. It’s also the traffic hub of west Sichuan and the gateway to Tibet.
In Kanging you can obviously feel much strong sunlight and the air is much thinner.
After we arrived in Kangding we would need to take a small van to a small Tibetan village first and stay overnight and then start the trekking trip and this was our driver, a pretty Tibetan woman.
This was the village we stayed overnight and the next day we would start the trekking trip and it seemed we would had a very nice weather for this trip.
On the first day trekking, we needed to walk to a hydroelectric power plant along this countryside road.
We met this yak and it was looking for his mother.

We met a deer.
