Ailao Mountain Travel Guide! Yunnan's Version of "The River Wild"

Ailao Mountain Travel Guide! Yunnan's Version of "The River Wild" Ailao Mountain has become a popular destination recently due to its mystery and challenge, and many people want to see it for themselves. However, we should respect nature. I recommend visiting the Yuxi area, which has unique scenery and is relatively safe. Let's embark on a wonderful journey to Yunnan's version of "The River Wild"! Stop 0: Gasa Town Transportation: It takes about 3 hours to drive from Kunming to Gasa Town. The scenery along the way has a strong border feel, and those who have seen "The River Wild" will love it! Nan'en Waterfall: A highlight of Ailao Mountain, Nan'en Waterfall has a drop of more than 100 meters, like a giant dragon pouring down from the mountains, magnificent and super shocking! Longxi Manor: The residence of the last chieftain, Li Runzhi, a mountain fortress with a blend of Chinese and Western styles, full of historical charm. You can visit to learn about the life of the chieftains in the past. The black goat hot pot in Yaonan Village nearby is a local specialty with fresh soup and tender meat, so don't miss it! Stop 1: Shimen Gorge Shimen Gorge is named after the five stone gates in the canyon, with steep cliffs on both sides and a clear stream meandering in the middle. It is very suitable for hiking along the creek walkway, with a round trip of less than 5 km. The scenery here is similar to Jiuzhaigou, so it is also known as "Jiuzhaigou on Ailao Mountain," breathtakingly beautiful!
