🌟【Hiking Difficulty】
This trail is an entry-level outdoor hiking route, with a round trip of about 26km and an altitude climb of about 1000m. Most people complete it within 2 days, but it's not just about having legs, it's about measuring your strength
🥾【Hiking Guide】
D1: Guixin Valley - Forest Ranger Station - Xiaochanggou - Fengdongzi - Dawuji
D2: Dawuji - Jiucaiyuan - Wangjiacao - Forest Ranger Station - Guixin Valley
▪️The walk from the Forest Ranger Station upwards is a small loop, and on the second day, you can take the loop back, or return from Dawuji the same way
▪️Guixin Valley - Forest Ranger Station, this section is the most difficult part of the entire route, about 4km, with an altitude climb of 1000m; the latter half has a smaller climb and is easier to walk
▪️A group of three with heavy gear took about 5H to climb (12:00-17:10), and about 4H to descend (09:00-13:00); most people can complete the climb in 6-7H while playing along the way
▪️The trail is muddy and difficult to walk, after the rain it's all slush, whether lightly or heavily equipped, be sure to prepare anti-slip hiking shoes, trekking poles, and gaiters to prevent dirt; personally, I find descending more difficult than ascending, the slushy road after rain is very slippery
▪️Special forces can also complete the round trip within one day
