【Important Tips】：
Due to the high intensity of today's hike, before reaching the Xiaqiangla Pass, the team leader has the right to require some team members to forcibly descend based on physical fitness assessment. The team members who descend can choose to take a car to Huluhai for sightseeing, and then after returning to Dangling Village, take a car to Jiayilacuo for sightseeing, and then meet up with the main group at Jiayilacuo or Karza Village.
Generally, the closing time for descent is based on the time of arrival at Xiaqiangla Pass. Please descend if you are later than the time specified by the team leader. Thank you for your understanding.
