·afternoon
Arrive at the starting point around 1:30 PM, warm up, and then set off! Enter the first large stone gate and ascend the ancient trail from Likeng (580 meters) to Fuquan Village (885 meters). This easy hike involves passing through ten gates and several waterfalls. It takes about 2.5 hours.
Enjoy the scenery, the music, and the hike. The karst stone gates are majestic and diverse in shape, while ancient Hui-style buildings tower over the valley. The ancient path is long and breathtaking, passing through ten gates in total. Stop by Xiaowuxi Village or Zaotie Village for a short break before continuing your hike.
Arrive at Fuquan Mountain (also known as Fuchuan Mountain by locals), the end point of today's hike, around 16:00, and arrange accommodation and dinner.
18:00, dinner. After dinner, everyone gathered together around the small brazier, chatting about Jin Yong's novels and reminiscing about Wuji Zhiruo.
22:00, go to bed and gradually fall asleep (tourists with more energy can try counting stars, of course, this requires luck!) Tomorrow there is still the 1430M boat landing point waiting for us!
Day 2 Jinchuan → Suzhou
All day
Get up at 6:30 in the morning (tourists who want to watch the sunrise need to get up around 4:00, the actual time is subject to notification from the tour leader), have breakfast, and wash up.
Around 7:00, you will reach the summit with light luggage. You will reach the summit in 1.5 hours. Standing on the summit and looking into the distance, you will see the winding and undulating Paomaliang, which will make you feel very proud!
Overlook the magnificent Shimen from different angles, and admire Yunding Village (the folk Potala) on the mountain!
Descend at the right time and take another line down the mountain: alpine meadows, gurgling streams, and shady trees make this a great and comfortable hiking route.
·afternoon
After lunch, we boarded the bus around 12:30pm and headed back to Suzhou around 6pm. We were reluctant to leave and kissed goodbye with tears in our eyes.
