Nanjiluo in Yunnan, a small popular travel destination that I am willing to walk countless times. 📍Located in the hinterland of the 'Three Parallel Rivers', within the territory of Weixi County, Diqing Prefecture, Yunnan Province. There are high mountain rhododendrons, lakes formed by glacier water, and pure natural high-saturation scenery. Every place makes me feel like I am in a fairyland, and it has also become a lifelong memory in my heart. 👣Nanjiluo is a hiking route, suitable for 2-10 months. At present, there is no airport or train station in Nanjiluo, it is recommended to drive or charter a car to go. 🌅The temperature difference in various places in Nanjiluo is large, the high-altitude areas are cold, and equipment for all seasons should be carried.

Antarctic Luo, a tear left by God in the world, has alpine lakes, meadows and flowers, rhododendron forests, snow-capped mountains and glaciers, waterfalls and rivers, as well as rare wild animals and plants.

I went to Antarctic Luo during the ten hours of losing contact with the world! I came by charter from Yubeng, a 90-minute journey. I stayed in Badi Township that day. The journey from Badi Township to Antarctic Luo is the shortest. The hotels are all more than 200 guesthouses. I set off at six o'clock the next morning and took an off-road vehicle to go in. The hotel can help contact the guide. The guide will drive us into the mountain and accompany us all the way. The cost is 300 yuan. I will book a motorcycle back the day before. The motorcycle will pull from the checkpoint to Lake No. 3. The whole journey is 40 minutes. It takes four hours to hike. I personally suggest to take a motorcycle directly to Lake No. 1 or Lake No. 3 and then hike around. It will take about five or six hours to finish. Because the scenery from the checkpoint to Lake No. 1 is very ordinary, I personally think it is unnecessary to walk. It's a waste of time and energy, it's better to go to the most beautiful place, the whole circuit can be finished in half a day.

In our busy world, we are always searching for a pure land where our souls can find rest. The Nanzhiluo hiking trip is undoubtedly a dreamy natural exploration, leading us into a real-life Emerald City. Choose the classic Nanzhiluo loop hiking route, which is about 10 km long and moderately difficult for experienced hikers. As soon as you step onto this land, you'll be surrounded by a vast, primeval forest. Towering trees reach for the sky, as if trying to pierce the heavens, their layered branches and leaves obscuring the sky. Sunlight struggles to squeeze through the gaps in the leaves, forming golden beams of light, like mystical guides in a fairyland. As you walk along the winding path, the gurgling sound of a stream reaches your ears. The stream's water is crystal clear, the stones at the bottom clearly visible, and the water flows merrily, playing a beautiful natural symphony. During the hike, the lakes, embedded in the mountains like gems, are undoubtedly the most dazzling presence. The water of Swan Lake is as blue as a mirror, perfectly reflecting the surrounding mountains and lush forests, a breathtaking sight. Every gentle breeze creates ripples on the lake's surface, like a meticulously painted scroll by nature, delicate and charming. Dry Lake, despite its name, exhibits a vibrant scene during the rainy season. Under the shimmering lake surface, aquatic plants are clearly visible, sparkling under the caress of sunlight. They sway gently with the current, as if telling the ancient stories of this land. Along the way, not only are you accompanied by lakes and forests, but also by unknown wildflowers and weeds. They are either elegant purple or bright yellow, nodding gently in the breeze, adding a touch of bright color to this green world. The air is filled with the fragrance of earth and grass, and every breath is incredibly refreshing and comfortable. The Nanzhiluo hiking trip is a deep dialogue with nature. Here, we are surrounded by beautiful scenery and awed by the power of nature. Every step is a note in the symphony of life, every glance a timeless picture. This is not just a hike, but a baptism of the soul, allowing us to find the tranquility and beauty deep within our hearts in this real-life Emerald City.

Praised by *National Geographic* as "God's palette dropped on Earth," this mystical land—Nanjilo—is finally unveiling its secrets! As a seasoned hiker who has conquered Rainstorm Pass (Yubeng) and Abuji Cuo, I can attest to Nanjilo's unique charm and its intoxicating, otherworldly aura. Here's a comprehensive, foolproof guide to hiking in Nanjilo, just for you! **📍Unveiling the Hidden Gem** Nanjilo lies hidden deep within the Biluo Snow Mountains in Weixi Lisu Autonomous County, Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan. Twelve alpine lakes, like an emerald necklace, are nestled among 4,000m snow-capped peaks. Unlike typical scenic spots, Nanjilo strictly limits entry to 50 people per day, preserving its pristine, untouched environment. **🚶♀️3-Day, 2-Night Hiking Itinerary** **D1: Lijiang/Shangri-La → Badi Village (Elevation: 2,800m)** • Contact your guesthouse in advance to arrange a 4x4 transfer (CNY 200/person). • Acclimatize to the altitude: Enjoy butter tea, soak your feet, and get a good night's sleep. **D2: Exploring the Core Hiking Area (11km/6h)** ✔️Checkpoint 1: Waterfall at Lake No. 3, the perfect spot for your first photo! The clouds usually dissipate after 10am, revealing breathtaking views. ✔️Hidden Route Tip: Bypass Lake No. 4 and take the East Loop Trail. The azalea blooms here rival, and even surpass, those of Pudacuo National Park. ✔️Ultimate Challenge: Conquer the 4,500m mountain pass and witness the magical sight of the twin lakes reflecting the sun and moon. **D3: Nanjilo Village → Departure** • Savor the unforgettable sweetness of wild honey water, brewed by a local Lisu grandmother. • Don't miss the Thursday mountain goods market, where wild mushrooms, including matsutake, are priced at just 1/3 of the city price! **📸Photography Tips** • Drone altitude is limited to 120m and requires prior registration. • Overcast days offer even better photo opportunities! The reflections on the water create a dreamy, Middle-earth-like atmosphere. • Recommended Spots: The prayer flags on the east side of Lake No. 5 and the island in the center of Lake No. 7 (requires wading) offer unique perspectives and excellent photo opportunities. **⚠️Hard-Learned Lessons** 1️⃣ Hiring a guide is mandatory (CNY 300/group). There are multiple forks in the trail with no cell service, making a guide essential. 2️⃣ When hiking through leech-infested areas (July–August), bring salt and gaiters for protection. 3️⃣ Accommodation is basic. Bringing your own sleeping bag liner is highly recommended for a comfortable sleep. 4️⃣ Descend before 3pm! Sudden downpours can cause flash floods. Safety first. **🎒Lightweight Packing List** • Essentials: Waterproof hiking boots (avoid heavy hiking boots), emergency thermal blanket. • Highly Recommended: Lisu herbal packs, proven effective against altitude sickness. • Clothing Suggestions: Bright-colored hiking jacket + sunglasses. UV rays are stronger on cloudy days, so protection is crucial. **🌍Leave No Trace Principles** Nanjilo's water is pure enough to drink directly. Please pack out all your trash and protect this pristine environment. When encountering prayer flags or mani stones, please walk around them clockwise as a sign of respect for local culture. It's said that someone's disrespect last year led to continuous heavy rain, so heed this warning! Venture into Nanjilo for an unparalleled hiking experience. Pack your bags, set foot on this mystical and beautiful land, and leave your mark!

IV. Precautions 1. Altitude sickness prevention: Nanjilo is at a high altitude, and some people may experience altitude sickness. Take altitude sickness medicine, such as Rhodiola, a week in advance. During the hike, avoid strenuous exercise and maintain a steady breathing rhythm. If you experience symptoms of altitude sickness, such as headache or difficulty breathing, stop immediately and rest. If necessary, use oxygen or go down the mountain for medical treatment. 2. Environmental protection: Nanjilo's ecological environment is fragile. During the hike, practice "Leave No Trace" and do not litter. Put garbage in bags and take it out of the scenic area. Do not damage vegetation or wildlife habitats. Protect the original appearance of this paradise. 3. Weather changes: Mountain weather is changeable, and it may rain or snow at any time. Check the weather forecast before departure, but do not rely on it completely. Carry rain gear with you. In bad weather, find a safe place to take shelter in time. Do not stay under trees or on mountain tops. 4. Communication: Some areas may have no cell phone signal during the hike. Inform family or friends of your itinerary and expected return time in advance. Carry a walkie-talkie to keep in touch with your companions. 5. Team action: Try not to hike alone. It is best to form a team with experienced hikers or professional guides. Team members should take care of each other and maintain a suitable pace to avoid getting lost.

Numerous alpine lakes are inlaid on the earth like sapphires. The lake is clear and transparent, reflecting the surrounding mountains and the sky, which is very beautiful. The lake is surrounded by dense primitive forests, and various rare plants grow in it, showing vigorous vitality. Waterfalls are also a feature of Nangluo. The waterfall rushing down from the mountain, splashing water, making a deafening sound, brings a strong visual and auditory impact. 2. Ecological Environment The ecological environment of Nangluo is very primitive and pure. This is the home of many rare animals and plants, and many wild protected animals live and multiply here. The types of plants are rich and diverse, from low shrubs to tall trees, forming a rich vegetation level. 3. Travel Experience Due to the inconvenience of transportation in Nangluo, the journey to here is full of challenges, but it is this challenge that makes the travel experience more memorable.
