we arrive Chengdu immediate we travel to Kanding for nearer to next destination and also ease ourself with high altitude . (~3000 masl )

whole day raining, and we do believe at higher altitude locations should be snow and we expected to see snow view tomorrow .

along the road we had very good view as usual, but it is just a start . the snow almost 6-10 inch thick, the roadside view still look amazing
