How many of China’s top five hiking routes have you walked from entry to Fengshen?

Yunnan · Tiger Leaping Gorge Hiking Line

If Mount Everest is the ultimate challenge for mountaineers, then Tiger Leaping Gorge is the “first love” for hiking enthusiasts.

This is a world-class canyon, with Haba Snow Mountain and Jade Dragon Snow Mountain facing each other across the river, and the Jinsha River roaring and surging at the foot, making a deafening rumble.

This is not just a hike, but a visual feast.

The famous “28 Turns” winds along the cliff, every step a test of willpower; the 22-kilometer high path traverses with a sheer cliff on the left and an abyss on the right.

For countless people, this is the first breathtaking sight that makes them fall in love with hiking. It is stunning enough, yet inclusive enough, a hall that every beginner should reach.

One-sentence review: Feel the thrill of walking on clouds above the roaring river.

Yunnan · Yubeng Hiking Line

“If you are not going to heaven, go to Yubeng.”

This widely circulated phrase among backpackers sums up the status of Yubeng. Hidden in the embrace of the Meili Snow Mountain, it is the legendary Shangri-La.

Here, opening the window reveals the magnificent sight of the Golden Mountains Bathed in Sunlight, and looking up, you see prayer flags fluttering in the wind. The water of the Holy Waterfall seems to descend from the heavens, washing away all the dust of the world.

Xinjiang · Wusun Ancient Road

If you desire a real crossing, then please come to Wusun Ancient Road.

This is a thousand-year-old secret Road across the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, connecting the Ili River Valley with the Tarim Basin. When you climb over Akbulakdaban, a sapphire will appear in front of you-Paradise Lake.

It is a suffocating blue, inlaid in the snow-capped mountains, not as beautiful as the world.

Walking on the Wusun Ancient Road, you are not only stepping on grasslands, snow-capped mountains and ancient plank roads, but also the echoes of a thousand years of history. The Golden and iron horse of that year has passed away, leaving only this top-level scenery to be explored by later generations.

This is a top crossing line with both landscape and humanities, and every step is worth remembering.

A comment: Through the Tianshan Mountains north and south, in the Paradise Lake to hear the breath of history.

Tibet · Medog Trekking Route

Medog, the last county town with access to roads in China, is also the “secret lotus” in the hearts of countless hikers “.

This is a very challenging route. You need to go from the DoxiongLa Pass at an altitude of 4200 meters, all the way down to the Brahmaputra River Valley at 600 meters.

In just one day, you will experience a dramatic change from snow-covered mountains to lush rainforests.

This is a cross from winter to summer, but also a physical journey to hell. Leeches, landslides, mudslides…… Many dangers could not stop the pilgrimage.

But it is also because of the difficulties that the arrival has become more sacred. Everyone who walks through Motuo deserves to be respected.

In a word: The body is in hell, the eyes are in heaven, and the soul is on its way home.

Sichuan-Gongga Ring Road

The first place belongs to the “King of Shushan”-Gongga.

For many hikers, the Gongga Ring Road is not only a route, but also an ultimate dream.

Here is the Palace of the snowy plateau landscape. Crossing Moxigou and Yulongxi, waiting for a sunshine Jinshan at Zimei Pass, watching the Golden Sunshine sprinkling snow peaks. Staring at the reflection in Lengga Cuo, watching the top of Shushan Mountain silent in the lake.

Through the high altitude, from the broad-leaved forest to the permanent glacier, Gongga shocked with 360 degrees of no dead angle, making every pilgrim submit to its majesty.

When you stand in the clouds and look up at the pyramid-like snow peaks, you will find that all the treks are worth it.

A comment: In front of this world, we are as small as dust, but we still yearn for greatness.
