Discover the Beauty of Laoniupo

Leave the city's hustle and bustle behind, and the moment you step onto Laoniupo, you'll realize it's another breathtaking ridgeline, following closely behind Erdaoping. No need to navigate to Yanjing Village Health Center. Just follow the track as you approach Jisan Road. Once you align with the intended route, park freely in any roadside clearing. Parking fees are flexible, ranging from free to CNY 10. Embark on the 9-plus km loop. The first half boasts clear paths and picturesque views. Farmlands, colorful forests, firethorn bushes, and vast stretches of what appear to be reeds (perhaps Miscanthus or Triarrhena—let's not get bogged down) unfold before you. You'll likely encounter fellow hikers along the way. At the highest point, a farmhouse restaurant offers delicious meals like firewood chicken, wild vegetables, and stir-fries. It's said to be the peak of the Longquanshan Mountains. The second half involves navigating between paved roads and jungle trails. Some sections are slightly hidden, requiring a bit of exploration, and you'll encounter fewer people. Watch your step, as cut tree stumps litter the ground and can easily trip you up. Stay focused as you proceed.
