CAMERON BOWERS

In this life, I must travel to Nange Luo in the Antarctic, where the hidden routes are as if one is in Europe!

😍 After a brief closure, Nange Luo has reopened! Promise me, before it officially closes this winter, you must visit at least once! 👀 After all, policies are always changing, and no one knows when they will pave the roads here and turn it into a scenic area... Such pure beauty is truly diminishing with each visit! ✨ When visiting Nange Luo, I recommend a route that many people overlook! Compared to the main loop, I prefer the scenery along Route 5. The further you go, the more you can see glaciers, which are just as stunning as the scenery in the 'Faroe Islands'! 📍 Address: Weixi County, Diqing, Yunnan—Nange Luo 🚩 Latest news: Off-road vehicles are no longer allowed, so you can only hike up from the foot of the mountain, and you must return on the same day, so the main loop is definitely not an option. If you have the stamina, you can walk around Lake No. 5, about 20-30km. Start at 8 am and return around 8 pm. I heard you can ride horses, which costs 800 yuan. Leave early, navigate to 'Achi Dagacun Minwei Committee', and drive along the mountain road. Vehicles from outside the area can drive to the first checkpoint. 🗺 If normal operations resume, you can take the villagers' off-road vehicle for 300 yuan/person to the hiking starting point (you can contact the local hotel owner to help book). 🎯 Two-day hiking route recommendation for Nange Luo (with route map at the end) 📋DAY1: Circle around Lake No. 5—Return to the drop-off point—Lake No. 2—Lake No. 1—Return to the drop-off point 📋DAY2: Main loop 👀 Route 1: Nange Luo Lake No. 5 Lake No. 5 is the most photogenic spot in Nange Luo, with popular waterfall positions and 'Faroe Islands'-style spots. It takes about 20-30 minutes from the drop-off point to get here. If you're not physically strong, you can choose to circle around Lake No. 5. If you have time after that, you can visit Lakes No. 2 and No. 1 at the foot of the mountain. 👀 Route 2: Main loop If you want to challenge yourself, you can try to complete the main loop on the second day. It might be a bit tiring for people who rarely exercise~ 🚶‍♂️ How to get to Nange Luo 🚗 Self-driving: Drive to 'Cizhong Village' or 'Badi Township' and stay overnight, then contact an off-road vehicle to pick you up the next day. If you're hiking up on your own now, navigate to... 🚌 Bus: Take the bus from Lijiang Bus Station to Weixi Bus Station, then transfer to a bus to 'Badi Township' or 'Cizhong Village'. 🎯 Hiking Tips ❶ You can't drive up the mountain yourself, nor can you stay overnight or camp. If you take a two-day route, you must descend the mountain on the same day and come back the next day. ❷ A guide is not mandatory. If you have outdoor experience, you can follow an offline map or the crowd. If you're looking for a local guide, it's 300 yuan per vehicle, and you can share the cost by carpooling, which is more economical. ❸ The weather in the mountains is unpredictable, so just go for it! In any case, bring a raincoat and umbrella. ❹ The temperature in the mountains is very low now, so here's what to wear: quick-drying underwear + warm fleece + down liner + hardshell jacket. ❺ Take care of the rare alpine plants and don't litter~
