Get in
[edit]Bus connections to Kanding (5 hours) and Litang (4 and half hours) during the day. As of August, 2012, the highway was being rebuilt, and the roads were in poor condition, so these times should be extended by about an hour each. Private and shared taxis can also be hired along a side street that is downhill from the main road.
Get around
[edit]See
[edit]There is a small but very atmospheric temple on the top of the hill above the main town. You can spot it, earthy mustard and red coloured. It is only about 10 minutes walk from the centre but finding you way up there in the maze of little allies is a bit hit and miss but worth it. In the afternoon when you can see the locals at prayer which is mesmerizing and you will probably be encouraged to see the rest of the building which feels like the monks personal quarters. They will probably make you welcome with salty butter tea if you hang out there long enough.
Do
[edit]Buy
[edit]Most of the shops in Yajiang are small and informal, serving the needs of the local community. The town does not see much tourism.
