First time hiking in the rainforest with a camera!

“Beginner + Rainforest🌧️ + Camera📷 = ?” I was nervously binge-reading guides before departure, afraid of making mistakes, but... I was completely captivated! This green planet is absolutely stunning! A hiking secret spot gently wrapped by primeval forest and alpine meadows. No city noise, only the whisper of wind through the redwoods, the footsteps of “cattle and horses,” the silver lines drawn by streams on the mossy ground, and the faint outline of snow-capped mountains in the mist. Rainforest hiking sounds so cool—enjoy every surprise each journey brings! 🎒 Essential gear list for beginners: ✅ Waterproof jacket + waterproof pants (sudden rain in the mountains is very frequent!) ✅ Trekking poles (saved my trembling knees on the downhill) ✅ Waterproof camera cover (learned the hard way from lens fog) ✅ Spare socks (walking with wet feet is really uncomfortable) Departed from Nanchong around 10 AM 🚗 stopped to play along the way, arrived at 4 PM 📍 Qiaoqi Tibetan Village, Shenmulei Scenic Area, Baoxing County, Ya'an 🗓️ May 16 💰 Tickets 52 RMB, Parking 🅿️ 10 RMB, Sightseeing bus 20 RMB, Magic carpet 20 RMB The sightseeing bus stops running at 5 PM, don’t miss it if you need to go down The weather on the plateau is changeable, remember to bring a thick jacket‼️
