Here’s the guide to getting to Yanzi Cliff in Ailao Mountain from Kunming❗
Try to start as early as possible and navigate to Gasa Town in Yuxi from Kunming (2.5 hours, it takes 1.5 hours to go to Yuxi). If you are traveling on a single day, it is recommended to start at 7 am.
Have breakfast after arriving at Gasa. I recommend Huiweiyuan’s halal beef rice noodles and noodles, which are very delicious. There is a small shop next to it where you can replenish your supplies. (The water is at least 2l per person. The weather is hot and the descent will make you tired and thirsty. If it is too heavy, you can hide on the road.) Navigating the sea of clouds and sunrise viewing platform, it is best to find a guide or walk towards the waterfall. Remember to hike alone, it is helpful for novices A certain level of difficulty. It takes 1.5 hours to go and 2.5 hours to come back. If you can’t walk back, you can call a local farmer halfway through and a tractor will pick you up (a tractor costs 200 and can seat about 10 people, saving 4/50 minutes of travel).
Telephone: There is a telephone number on the big stone on the roadside. There is accommodation nearby, so you can get up early to see the sea of clouds (the chance is very low).
The time to go is February/March/April/May/June every year, which is the dry period of the waterfall. If you can't get to the waterfall during the flood season (it is not recommended to go).
Items to prepare: sun hat, sunshade, face towel, sunglasses, quick-drying clothes, quick-drying pants, jacket, spare hiking boots, 1 trekking pole, gloves (thin labor protection gloves are also acceptable), sunscreen, insect repellent spray, schoolbag (emphasis on loose pants, non-slip shoes), raincoat (must Bring) If you have kneepads, you can bring them. If you want to go under the waterfall, you need to bring an extra pair of pants and shoes (slippers are also acceptable) and an extra piece of clothing.
Tips: It’s best to buy hiking insurance. The blogger has broken his hand after breaking it. It’s really slippery under the waterfall. If you have any questions, you can leave a message under Xiaohongshu and see the reply.
