Gou Icefall Group - the most accessible icefall group in Baotou This year, Baotou has had a lot of rain, and winter has become a year of icefall explosions. There are countless icefalls of all sizes in Jiufeng Mountain, where you can play with ice and snow. Today, we recommend the Ganggou Icefall Group. It is about 65 km from Baotou City (Donghe). Please see pictures 17 and 18 for details. Navigate directly to Ganggou, and when you see the big sign "Ganggou Campground," head north (or in the direction of the mountain). There is a newly built asphalt road, and you can park at the end of the road. Get off the car and follow the road. The icefall group is 2 km from the starting point of the hike, about 20 minutes away, which is very friendly to beginners. There are three icefalls in the picture. The first one you see is the largest icefall, with a drop of about 40 meters, which is spectacular. There are two smaller icefalls next to it, which are crystal clear. You can even hike up the two small icefalls, which is a lot of fun. It is very suitable for beginners to watch up close, with almost no difficulty. Advanced knowledge: In fact, there is also a super large icefall group in Ganggou, which is also the largest icefall group in Jiufeng Mountain, also known as the "Crystal Palace." The icefall covers the entire mountain, yes, the whole mountain, wide and high, like a gorgeously decorated palace. It is about 12 km one way from the starting point of the hike, normally less than 4 hours one way, with an elevation gain of about 500 meters. Those with physical strength and conditions can come here to see it, which is a hiking route. So the question is, is there anyone who wants to go to the Crystal Palace to see the icefall with me? Let's go together!

😍 This year, Baotou has had a lot of rain, and winter has become a year of icefall explosions. There are countless icefalls💦 of all sizes in Jiufeng Mountain, where you can play with ice and snow. 🍀 Today, I recommend the Gan Gou Icefall Group to my sisters! 🙈 You will regret not going (no rebuttals accepted). 🧭 Drive to the end of Gan Gou Campground and park your car. 🚶 Get out of the car and walk into the ditch for 20 minutes to reach our most beautiful icefall. 🧊 There are a total of 3 icefalls, all in the picture, from large to small, with different shapes. 🧊 It's so beautiful, it's amazing to see the magic of nature with the naked eye. ⚠️ The whole journey is on a gravel road, so be sure to wear wear-resistant and non-slip shoes. ⚠️ If you want to experience ice climbing, buy crampons in advance for easy climbing. 🏽 Be sure to pay attention to safety, and remember not to litter. 💕 Who says there is nothing to do in Inner Mongolia in winter, and you can only go to the northeast to see the ice? 💕 The icefalls at our doorstep are worth discovering and recording every second. 💕 It's better to go out and walk than to stay at home and watch others enjoy the world on your phone. ♨️ PS: I feel like I can do it again after absorbing the aura of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and moon.☺ 🚫 Remember not to wander alone or with a few novices in the mountains. It is recommended to be led by experienced people, safety first☝️ 🈲 No fire is allowed in the mountains in winter. After lighting the fire, remember to put it out, check for safety hazards, and leave. Everyone is responsible for protecting the environment. Take your trash with you and don't leave it in the mountains.💗 Friends in Inner Mongolia, it is so happy to live in Inner Mongolia.
