Where to eat in Daocheng?
There are not many restaurants in Daocheng county, and the choice of Yading scenic spot is even less. We usually suggest that foreign tourists enjoy breakfast and dinner in their own hotel. Lunch depends on where you've been. Generally, tourists to Yading scenic area will prepare their own dry food for emergencies.
