The most memorable hike was the night hike to Gulu Village at 9 pm.

Hiking the cliff path to Gulu Village at 9 pm was quite the experience 😂 It was pitch black the whole way, so I didn't take any photos. The photos were taken the next morning. Gulu Village was originally called "Gulu Village" and is located on a cliff at the entrance of the Dadu River Grand Canyon in Sichuan. It is a Yi village! The entire village is located on a cliff at an altitude of 1,400 meters, so it is called the "Village on the Cliff." It is said that stones often roll down the cliff from the mountain, making a rumbling sound. Over time, the villagers named the village "Gulu Village" based on the homophonic sound. 📍Navigation: Yixiantian Bridge (Hanyuan, Ya'an) ⏰Hiking time: About 5 hours in total (to the cable car) 🚶🏻‍♀️Road conditions: Most of the road has no steps, and is a bumpy dirt road in a Z-shape, passing through some caves. 🎫Fee: Free 📝Equipment: Be sure to bring trekking poles, non-slip shoes, and a windproof hat (it's windy on the mountain). Bring a flashlight for night hikes. 🍠Supplies: Villagers sell food at the foot of the mountain, in mountain huts, and at the cable car. 💁🏻‍♀️About the color of the water The Dadu River is below the cliff of Gulu Village. If the weather is good, you can see the blue water, but the photos need to be edited. If the weather is average or bad, the water is brown. 🏠"Cliffside Homestay - Alan Zhiruo" This homestay is built halfway up the mountain, and every brick and tile was carried up by mules. It has a fresh style, with rooms and camping tents to choose from. The room facilities are average, so those who pursue comfort should be cautious. However, the price is cheap, around 300 yuan. Personally, I think the best part is the terrace, where you can enjoy the canyon scenery while having breakfast. The pancakes are good! It takes half an hour to climb from the parking lot at the foot of the mountain to the homestay. There are no street lights at night, so it is recommended to arrive during the day. If you don't want to be too tired, you can turn back at the homestay. The popular photo spots are all within this half-hour journey.
