I declare this is Yunnan's last untouched paradise‼️

‼️Who knew Yunnan still had such an underrated hiking gem? It feels like stumbling into an isolated wonderland - alpine meadows dotted with sheep🐏, primeval forests, and Danxia cliffs. Every view is pure, unspoiled beauty. The local Pumi ethnic village with its log cabins, red walls, and wooden roofs shrouded in mist looks straight out of Utopia🏡. With minimal commercialization and very few tourists, plus relatively friendly altitude and terrain for beginners, it's perfect. 📍Location: Luoguqing, Nujiang, Yunnan 🚗Transport: 1. Self-drive: 2.5h from Lijiang via highway + provincial road + short mountain route (accessible by sedan) 2. Daily shared shuttle vans from Lijiang to Tongdian Town (¥100/person), then transfer 🚶Hiking Routes: Luoguqing offers 3 trails: - Easy 5KM (Lovers' Meadow-Mother Tree) - Moderate 14KM - Full 24KM trek 👉The first two are leisure-friendly with primeval forests and meadows. The full trek offers the most diverse scenery but demands high fitness. With complex terrain and no signal in many areas, hiring a professional guide is mandatory - even with GPS tracks, solo hiking is strongly discouraged. 📷Non-hiking highlights: 1⃣Luoguqing Village An authentic Pumi ethnic village with just one small shop. Residents farm herbs and herd livestock. Descendants of Genghis Khan's warriors, they migrated to this hidden valley, building log cabins and worshiping mountain/tree spirits🌲. Locals are incredibly warm, often inviting visitors for tea! 2⃣Lovers' Meadow Village-backing alpine pasture where cattle and horses🐎 graze peacefully among sea-like spruce forests. The June wildflower bloom turns it into a fairy-tale photo spot, complete with quaint wooden cabins. 3⃣Dayangchang 1h drive from Luoguqing - vaster meadows/wetlands with more livestock, winding rivers, primeval forests, and Yi ethnic villages. The overwhelming sense of isolation makes you feel time stands still here. 🏚Accommodation: ■ Nujiang·Shujia Wuxiang Luxury eco-resort co-created with 13 Pumi families, offering authentic log cabin stays. Activities include guided hikes, mushroom foraging, bonfire dances, forest crafts, and Pumi cultural immersion - rediscovering forgotten mountain lifestyles.
