Chicken Coop Top: An Invitation to a Dreamland

[Rose] The next chicken coop roof will present an intoxicatingly beautiful picture! Starting from Guangzhou and Shenzhen, it only takes 3 hours to reach this mysterious place which is like the western Guangdong version of "To the Clouds". [Rose] Here, thousands of acres of alpine meadows stretch as far as the eye can see, and wild rhododendrons are in full bloom all over the mountains. The cattle are leisurely grazing in the mist. This scene makes people seem to have fallen into the dreamy and beautiful summer described by Hayao Miyazaki. [Rose] Jilongding is located in Yangchun. You can reach it by searching "Yangchun Qixing Village" on the navigation. If you are driving, it is recommended to choose a four-wheel drive vehicle, because the last 5 kilometers are gravel roads and are bumpy. [Rose] This is a light hiking route that even beginners can try. The entire journey is about 10 kilometers, with a cumulative climb of 900 meters, and takes 6 to 8 hours. In April, this place is a world of pink and white rhododendrons, while from May to June, you can unlock the beauty of the meadow like a matcha carpet. [Rose] The crossing route is more user-friendly than the loop route. It is recommended to go from Xinyi to Yangchun. [Rose]The itinerary can be arranged as follows: [Rose]On the first day, drive to the foot of the mountain and choose a suitable place to stay. In the evening, we brew tea around the stove, look up at the starry sky, and feel the tranquility and comfort. [Rose] The next day, after breakfast, we headed to the trailhead. Have a picnic on the meadow and enjoy the gifts of nature before starting your return journey. [Rose] In terms of equipment, there are some essential items to pay attention to. Trekking poles and knee pads are essential, as the gravel road down the mountain is slippery and they can provide effective support and protection. You should also prepare a windproof jacket as the temperature difference at the top of the mountain can reach 10℃ to prevent you from catching a cold. Waterproof hiking shoes can cope with the situation where mountain springs overflow the trail. Please remember that high heels and sneakers are not allowed, as the gravel road will cause great pain to your feet. [Rose] When going on outdoor hikes, especially for beginners, you must always follow a professional team and put safety first! [Rose] The charm of the chicken coop roof lies not only in its natural scenery, but also in the fact that it allows people to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, return to the embrace of nature, and feel the inner peace and strength. Come on, take a brave step forward, walk into this magical land, explore, discover, and leave your own precious memories!
