Reverse travel is amazing! Hidden autumn activities in Nianbaoyuze that 90% of people don't know about​

While most tourists can only catch a quick glimpse inside the Nianbaoyuze Scenic Area, I have already discovered more secrets of this land with the help of a local guide. If you are not satisfied with conventional tourism, this in-depth travel guide is definitely for you! ​​【Theme Route: Explorer Exclusive】​​ 🌄 Secret Realm Exploration Route: Day 1: Jiuzhi County → Nianbaoyuze West Line Hiking Start Point → Hike to 4550m Pass → Camping Day 2: Cross the Pass → Explore Baiyu Valley → Return to County Town 📷 Photography Special Route: Day 1: Morning shoot at Fairy Lake → Lake circuit hike → Evening shoot of sunset on the golden mountain Day 2: Full-day creation at Yaonü Lake → Starry sky photography ​✅ Hidden Activities Confirmed​ ​Mountain Circumambulation Experience​: Follow local Tibetans on a small mountain circumambulation, about 5 hours in total, to feel the power of faith. ​Plateau Stargazing​: Camp in designated areas outside the scenic area, where the Milky Way is clearly visible, as if you can reach out and pick the stars. ​Visit to Nomad Families​: Visit local nomad families, learn to make butter tea, and experience authentic nomadic life. ​🏡 Accommodation Recommendations​ ► Comfortable Choice​: Hotels in Jiuzhi County, recommended "Nianbaoyuze Grand Hotel," with oxygen rooms friendly to visitors with altitude sickness. ► Experience Choice​: Tent hotels outside the scenic area, where you can count stars around the campfire at night. ​⚠️ Pitfall Avoidance Guide​ → The scenic area’s policies are currently changing frequently; be sure to confirm the open status before departure. → Always hire a local guide for hiking, as the weather can change suddenly. → After October, heavy snow may fall unexpectedly; prepare equipment according to winter standards. The autumn colors of Nianbaoyuze are brief but brilliant. If you also yearn for this secret realm, follow this guide to start a true plateau adventure!
