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. The ways to enter the mountain are horse riding, hiking, and motorcycles, but it is not advisable to ride a horse and motorcycle for 30 kilometers. ●🌈Small loop: Start from Lake No. 3, hike to Lake No. 4 and No. 5. ●Difficulty coefficient: 0 level ●Hiking kilometers: 5 kilometers ●Time: 3 hours for walking and shooting ●High anti-chance: 0 ●🌈Large loop: Start from Lake No. 3, hike to Lake No. 4-9, and cross the pass. ●Difficulty coefficient: 4 level ●Hiking kilometers: 14km round trip ●Time: 6-7 hours ●Highest altitude: 4338M ●High anti-chance: requires physical fitness ✨Essential scenic spots: mountains, meadows, lakes, primitive forests, streams, waterfalls. 🥾Professional leader: Provide follow-up service.

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.

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.

We were a group of six people in two cars, all of whom had been to Kunming, Dali, and Lijiang several times. We decided to take a different route, passing by the very blue Lancang River, driving on winding roads, and finally arriving at Tongle Village deep in the mountains. It is located in the Three Parallel Rivers area of the Jinsha River, Lancang River, and Nujiang River, and is the largest existing Lisu ancient village in China. On this large steep hillside, generations of Lisu people have made their homes. The wooden houses are the biggest feature of the village. The small wooden houses built along the mountain are all made of wood, without a single nail or iron. The first floor of such houses is for livestock, and the second floor is for people. The wooden houses are connected by steep stone steps. Walking through the village, you will find apple trees beside you and persimmon trees at your feet. The ancient wooden houses we can see today are already three or four hundred years old. Some families are drying corn, while others are drying chili peppers. Now that the road is open, people's lives must be more fashionable. You see, there are coffee shops and homestays, and there is a museum in the small square that tells the history and life of the Lisu people. Achimugua is an intangible cultural heritage dance of the Lisu people. The Lisu people who live in the mountains are good friends with the rock-climbing goats. Achimugua imitates the goats in both song and movement, interpreting the most special freedom deep in the mountains. ☀︎Tips: Address: Yezhi Town, Weixi Lisu Autonomous County, Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province Tickets: No tickets required Self-driving: It takes five or six hours to drive from Dali or Lijiang, so it is suitable to arrange this attraction when you are on a loop tour Information: There is a terrace cafe in the village where you can overlook the village, and there are homestays available Tour time: When you are on a loop tour of Meili Snow Mountain and Lijiang Ancient Town, 3 hours is enough for this small village

Shangri-La Family Trip! See the Snow Mountain Elf Yunnan Snub-nosed Monkey🐒 🌟This National Day, I took my child to unlock a very meaningful family adventure trip - Weixi Yunnan Snub-nosed Monkey Family Trip! 🐒Yunnan Snub-nosed Monkey, one of China's [National Treasures] •With thick crimson "sexy" pouting lips, it is the primate that looks most like a human face •Living in high-altitude areas rarely visited by humans, 2,500-5,000 meters, the main food is pine radish, moss, plant buds, fruits, etc. •The reserve is a place in the Baima Snow Mountain National Nature Reserve that protects monkeys and rescues wild animals. After 40 years of protection, the endangered Yunnan snub-nosed monkey has increased from more than 1,000 to more than 3,000. 🌿In addition to watching monkeys, there are also rich natural experiences here. Take your children to learn about alpine plants with the guide, observe various insects, and let your children learn happily in the natural classroom.

Speaking of the most special thing in Weixi County, it must be the Yunnan snub-nosed monkey. As a rare and endangered primate endemic to China, it is as famous as the giant panda. There are only about 3,800 monkeys worldwide, which is extremely rare. The Yunnan snub-nosed monkey has a face that looks most like a human. Its face is white and red, and it looks very cute. It also has an upturned nose and bright red "sexy" lips, which are highly recognizable. The best place to see the Yunnan snub-nosed monkey is the Weixi Yunnan Snub-nosed Monkey National Park. The location of the golden monkey every day is random. Going up is the best observation time. The staff will confirm in advance and then take everyone up. The black, white, and gray fur shines like a halo in the sun, creating a unique beauty. It is worth mentioning that many of the rangers here used to make a living by hunting. With the increasing awareness of the importance of rare wild animals such as the Yunnan snub-nosed monkey, hunters put down their guns and joined the protection team, actively participating in the protection of the Yunnan snub-nosed monkey. I hope more people will pay attention to and participate in wildlife protection.

The encounter with Yunyutian·Banshan Homestay is a mistake! Our original plan was to drive to the top of the mountain along the mountain road in Qibie Village next to Tacheng Town to watch the scenery, and then leave Weixi Lisu Autonomous County to return, but we accidentally met Yunyutian Banshan Homestay halfway up the mountain. If you just look at the roadside, this homestay is not surprising-the common rammed earth exterior wall and a small parking lot of local homestays. But when we walked into the courtyard, we were immediately attracted to it, singled out, and opened the room. Yunyutian faces the ethereal mountain valley in the mountains. The rice fields that are about to mature are spread out in the shape of terraces under the feet, extending for several miles. The rice ears are yellow and green in the autumn, making it hard to believe that this is in the Diqing Autonomous Prefecture at an altitude of 2,000 meters. Yunyutian has actually surpassed the concept of homestay, it can be regarded as a camp-style homestay. It makes full use of all the terrain in this mountain nest, creating a well-arranged green space, barbecue table, gathering area, yoga hall, cigar bar, red wine tasting room, coffee and tea room. What is even more shocking is that they actually have a very professional indoor concert hall of more than 200 square meters, and two mountain-like custom speakers have not been turned on to stun people. Yunyutian's supporting facilities outside the guest room are rare in the hundreds of homestays we have stayed in, and even make people worry about its operating costs... According to Mr. Zhao, the founder and owner of the homestay, Yunyutian has been built for five years: all the walls of the rooms are cast from solid rammed earth with the width of the forearm, and all the wood comes from the old materials from the demolished houses in the countryside. The roof is covered with a lawn, so the room's thermal insulation and moisturizing properties are really warm in winter and cool in summer! The rooms in Yunyutian are not luxurious at first glance, but discerning guests can quickly feel that it is extremely dark and luxurious in every detail. Toilets, showers, tissues, soaps, bath products, hair dryers, etc. are all famous products, and the most critical mattresses and bedding also come from OEM products customized for European big brands. As for the source, the boss is taboo. Friends who often live in top homestays will have feelings-the bosses of homestays in the wild where there are few people are generally gods. After two days of contact, we can only give Mr. Zhao a character setting: a god among gods! In his territory, this amazing Yunyutian is just a small link in his Weixi series of tourism and outdoor links. The mountaintop camps and all-round (mountain hiking, paragliding, extreme sports) field routes in the mountains in the distance of the homestay are his blueprints. Okay, see you next year, I must come to see your sky.

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. Hiking is the main way to explore Nangluo. Walking along the mountain trails, you can feel the charm of nature up close. During the hike, you will encounter various surprises, maybe a rare wild flower, maybe a cute little animal. It should be noted that the natural environment of Nangluo is relatively fragile. When visiting, you must take care of the environment, do not arbitrarily destroy vegetation, and do not litter, so that this beautiful land can maintain its original appearance for a long time.

🌟【Exploring the Yunnan Golden Monkey National Park】🌟 📍 Step into Tacheng Town, and an intimate encounter with the Yunnan golden monkeys awaits you! 👀 🌅 At 8 AM, I couldn't wait any longer! I made a reservation by phone in advance, just for that precious viewing moment. As the first rays of sunlight bathed the foot of the mountain, the Yunnan golden monkeys arrived as expected, enjoying the feast of pine lichen carefully prepared by the rangers. And we were fortunate enough to be the spectators of this natural feast, feasting our eyes! 🍽️ 👀 Look! The first troop of monkeys, a grand total of 15, led by a 'big man' named Erji. Doesn't that sound interesting? 😄 The rest are all his 'harem beauties' and their children. The little monkeys are so adorable that you can't help but love them! 👶 🍽️ After their meal time, other troops cautiously approached to pick up the leftover pine lichen. Otherwise, a 'monkey king battle' would be inevitable! 😅 🎓 Here, I also met several graduate and doctoral students from Southwest Forestry University. They spend their days with the Yunnan golden monkeys, conducting in-depth observations and research. I learned that they will spend a whole year here! Truly admirable academic spirit! 📚 👍 The staff at the national reserve were warm and friendly, making me feel at home. To my surprise, I even bought a 'Erji's wife' doll! This cute souvenir will accompany me through every wonderful moment! 🎈 Come to the Yunnan Golden Monkey National Park and spend an unforgettable time with these rare creatures! 🌳

💧Some people say that Nanji Luo is the tears left by God in the world, and some people say that Nanji Luo is the last pure land of Shangri-La🏔️ 🗻Nanji Luo is really beautiful~ There are really secret places in the world, the last drop of God's tears❗ 🌈Every inch of the corner is so beautiful and shocking, alpine lakes, primitive forests, meadows and azaleas. Walking in such deep mountains, I finally feel connected to the world.

Yunnan can probably be considered the best hiking destination in China. Various mountain ranges and cultures converge here, creating a diverse and rich selection of hiking routes. While hiking here, you might inadvertently experience different cultures as you cross a river or climb a mountain. Hiking in the secret realm of Nanjiluo, a hidden gem known to few tourists, allows you to see snow-capped mountains and alpine lakes up close, with breathtaking highland scenery. Accompanying you along the way are towering stone mountains. Following the mountain springs, you can explore plants like the large-leaved yellow corydalis, half-lobed purple corydalis, racemose green velvet poppy, and wind-hair chrysanthemum. Nanjiluo, also known as Nanjieluo, is located in Badi Township, Weixi County. It belongs to the Hengduan Mountains and serves as the boundary between Gongshan County and Weixi County, as well as the watershed between the Lancang River and the Nu River. The main landscape features alpine lakes, complemented by snow-capped mountains, alpine meadows, primeval forests, and various waterfalls. Some call it the tear dropped by God on earth. Within the area, there are 15 snow-capped mountains exceeding 4000 meters in altitude. The highest peak, Laowo Mountain, stands at 4435 meters. Above 3500 meters, the terrain consists of grasslands and rocks; between 2800-3500 meters, there are pine and fir forests; below 2800 meters, there are mixed forests and shrublands. The mountain climate is extremely variable, with numerous waterfalls and a concentration of alpine lakes. The core scenic area features alpine lakes all above 3800 meters in altitude. The best times to visit are during the rhododendron blooming season and late autumn. Entering Nanjiluo feels like stepping into a fantastical dreamscape, crafted by nature, leaving visitors in awe and reluctant to leave. You won't truly appreciate its mystery, beauty, and grandeur, or the stunning holy lakes surrounded by countless mountains and valleys, until you visit in person. Nanjiluo's beauty offers countless reasons to fall in love with it, whether it's the dense primeval forests, the tranquil lakes, the unknown flowers, or the various rhododendrons... No one can clearly say how many lakes there are in Nanjiluo or what their names are, but each one will let you experience the meaning of 'a place where gods and humans are equally enchanted.'

Nanjilu will officially open on June 6, 2024! 👏 Everyone says that the beauty of Nanjilu can only be felt by hiking because photos 📸 can never capture its beauty~ It is a hidden paradise in western Yunnan, with highland lakes, sea meadows, rhododendron seas 💐, waterfalls and streams, and rare animal groups 🐂... Anyone who sees it can't help but exclaim wow! ❓ How to reach the hiking point The best way is to find a full-package guide for convenience.

Therefore, friends who want to visit must wear thicker clothes! And bring a raincoat! 🙋‍♀️ Currently forming hiking groups for Nanjilu, anyone interested?

It's definitely not Guangha. I saw this new Yijia Qinmin Inn on Ctrip in advance. The pictures looked good, so I booked it. When I arrived, it was exactly like the pictures. The room, which cost just over 100 yuan, was clean and bright. The bathroom was also very clean, and it was quite comfortable to stay in. As for meals, I had two in total. I forgot the name of the first restaurant. There is a big bridge over the Lancang River in the village. After crossing the bridge, turn left, and it's on the left-hand side. We had a beef pot, which was super delicious!! The second meal was at the inn's restaurant, where we had a local chicken and wild mushroom pot, which was also very tasty!!

🔷Beautiful Nanjiluozhen The Lisu translation is 'the place where cattle and sheep are herded', it is 'the tears of God left on earth'. A high-altitude wetland lake group, with a total of 12 lakes of various sizes, named by numbers. Such a beautiful place, unfortunately, I can't go this year. .

Leaving Shigu Town, we followed the Jinsha River upstream. The river water was clear, the valley was lush with greenery, and the newly paved asphalt road on the secondary highway was smooth and easy to travel. The valley alternated between narrow and wide, making the journey pleasant and enjoyable. After driving about 100 kilometers, we arrived at Tacheng Village in Weixi County and checked into Tacheng Hotel. Staying in Tacheng Village was to ensure an early start the next day to visit the Yunnan Golden Monkey National Park and meet the mountain elves. The park opens at 8:00 AM. We took the park's tourist bus to halfway up the mountain and then hiked for about 40 minutes to reach the monkey viewing point. Before we could catch our breath, the Yunnan golden monkeys, jumping up and down and moving left and right, had already captured the attention of all visitors. One golden monkey sat on a tree trunk, picking tender branches and sucking the sap, while the sound of camera shutters clicked away below. The monkey seemed oblivious to the presence of people. The monkeys' playful movements were agile, and their foraging behavior was nimble, making visitors' eyes dart around to keep up. To catch a glimpse of the golden monkeys, there are only a little over two hours in the morning. After enjoying the delicacies prepared by the park staff, they become hard to find. Leaving Tacheng for Weixi County, we traveled 100 kilometers along the Xiangwei Line, leaving the Jinsha River Gorge and entering the Lancang River Gorge. Under the blue sky and white clouds, Weixi County is situated on a hillside, with various specialty restaurants and fashionable shops. On the surface, there is no sign of the unique characteristics of the Lisu ethnic group. We had a simple meal in the county and then hurried along the Dewei Line to Cizhong Church in Yanmen Township, Deqin County. If not for the time constraint, we could have detoured to Tongle Village, home to over a hundred households, to see the ancient Lisu mountain village. Along the way, we saw the under-construction Wunonglong Hydropower Station and Lidi Hydropower Station. The two dams already stood tall in the mountain stream, locking the Lancang River, and their power generation operations were imminent. Although these two hydropower stations may not rank among the top in the country, they are still grand projects with impressive momentum.
