Leshan Hiking | Gulu Village | A village on the cliff

|Gulu Village| A village on the cliff. Destination: To reach Gulu Village, search for the navigation to the Yixiantian Bridge. You can park your car when you see a small shop; there is a designated parking area on the side of the road (paid parking). The hiking trail starts to the right of the small shop, and there are signs along the way, so there's no worry about getting lost. The villagers on the mountain are very friendly, and you can ask them if you have any questions. 2 Hiking Duration: It takes about 2.5 hours to climb up the mountain without taking photos or resting. We took some time to eat and take pictures, so it took us 3.5 hours. There are two ways to descend: one is to take the cable car from Gulu Village to the opposite mountain, where you can hire a car to go down; the other is to return the same way, which takes about 1.5 hours. P2P5 are great spots for taking photos, and most of the path is a mule track, so be careful. 3 Transportation and Accommodation: It is recommended to drive there by yourself. There are also restaurants and accommodations on the mountain, which are run by the villagers themselves. It is still recommended to have a full meal before starting the climb. We brought camping equipment and cooked instant noodles ourselves. 4 Equipment List: Comfortable hiking shoes, backpack, two or three bottles of water, chocolate, windproof clothing, windproof hat (it's very windy on the mountain, so be sure to bring a hat), trekking poles, power bank. 5 Precautions: Do not go on rainy days as there may be falling rocks on the mountain. It is recommended to go on sunny or overcast days. The wind on the mountain is much stronger than at the base, so be sure to wear a hat. Be careful with your knees when descending, as it is easy to slip. If you're lucky, you might encounter mules. It's suitable for a one-day hike. If you want to visit other places nearby, there is the Jinkouhe Grand Canyon, which can be included in a two-day itinerary.
