The amazing thing about Tagong is that it feels like a completely different world when you fly for 45 minutes from Chengdu and arrive here. It can be just a weekend place for you to get out of the city and immerse yourself into the nature and local Tibetan life. There are no famous tourist places here or even near here. So if you are looking for those things, Tagong is not for you.
