Such beautiful scenery is free to view

The beauty rivals the hidden gems of Xinjiang, Tibet, and Yunnan, with the majestic Jade Dragon Snow Mountain presenting stunning views from every angle🏔 However, few have the chance to approach its base up close. 🏔Location: Snow Mountain Grand Canyon Situated in Yuhu Village, Lijiang, Yunnan Starting from Yuhu Village, a 13km hike will reveal such scenery ✨About Snow Mountain Grand Canyon: Online information also mentions another trail through the Snow Mountain Grand Canyon that requires climbing (this trail offers views of the canyon from the mountain), which is different from the one I took. My route allows for driving to the starting point at the foot of the mountain and then hiking 13km to reach the base of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, walking through the valley of the Snow Mountain Grand Canyon. 1. The entire path is a gentle slope and flat, which was not stressful even for my injured knee. ⚠️Altitude: 3379m, be cautious of altitude sickness!! 📸Scenic Overview: The route passes through pastures, meadows, and valleys Gazing at Jade Dragon Snow Mountain from a distance Walking along the valley to the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain It's a beginner-friendly, easy hiking route suitable for all ages 🌱About the difficulty of the route: The whole journey is 13km, with a hiking duration of about 4 hours Depart at 9:00 am - descend by 16:00 pm. The guide mentioned that even a 5-year-old child has completed the hike. The road from Yuhu Village to the starting point at the mountain base is narrow and rocky, which can be a bit dangerous, so it's safer to hire a local guide. Drive a cross-country vehicle to the mountain base and then hike. 🍁Season: The best season is from September to March of the following year (Avoiding the rainy season from May to August is even better) During the rainy season, the valley will have water, and it's best to avoid crossing rivers and overcast days (cloudy days hide the mountain and the scenery) May is also nice when the high mountain rhododendrons and wildflowers bloom, but it requires clear weather 👣Clothing suggestions: Since the valley path is rocky, wear thick-soled, comfortable hiking shoes The mountain weather is unpredictable, and it can start raining suddenly, so bring a raincoat ‼️‼️Signs warn of wild boars and bears They really exist, as the guide pointed out the approximate locations of pig nests and bear dens. There are also large patches of grass pits dug by wild boars on the meadows. Don't make loud noises, always be aware of the surrounding sounds, and follow the guide
