foreword
The hustle and bustle of society, the busy pace of life, and the ever-increasing material life seem to be beautiful and happy, but they always inadvertently wear down our once passionate youth little by little, either for fame or for profit or for life, it seems countless Many people are living in the vicious circle of work, constantly struggling for life. Occasionally there are holidays to rest, but also to stay at home quietly, sleep soundly, and play games for fun. The spirit is getting more and more exhausted, and at this time, traveling has undoubtedly become the best choice for countless people.
Perhaps it is because I am used to the fast-paced and boring life of three points and one line. Even if it is a trip, I often plan the location at will, find a companion, take a variety of transportation, and use the fastest speed to directly reach the scenic spot and take pictures. , delicious food, and then a busy return journey, the scenery of the journey has long been covered by exhaustion, except for the memories left by a few photos in the album, all that is left is exhaustion and dust, but the meaning of travel is really just the sights. Is it just a beautiful scenery?
I don’t think so, travel is not just travel, it’s more like a miniature life, no matter the cause of the trip or the result of arriving at the scenic spot, it is undoubtedly extremely beautiful, but life is not only the cause and the result , more importantly, is the process, you will meet countless people, encounter countless things, bring you countless joys, sorrows and joys, only in this way, when you look back suddenly, you can feel the meaning of life, travel is the same In this way, the scenery along the way will also bring you countless flowers, birds, insects, fish, mountains and rivers, and every place you pass has its unique features, all of which are uncanny craftsmanship of nature.
As far as I am concerned, I have long been fascinated by hiking, and I can’t wait to walk freely with a backpack on my back. When I knew that there was an opportunity for this hiking trip, I almost did not hesitate to participate in it. During the hike, surprises hit me unexpectedly and within expectations.

schedule
This hiking plan is to apply the classic hiking route of Niru Village on the Internet. The first day: Shudu Lake - Dijitang Ranch - Benggla - Niru Village, the second day: Niru Village - Colorful Waterfall - Niru Village, we found a lot of problems in the strategy. Finally, we obtained a more scientific route after discussing and researching with the guides we had already contacted: Day 1: Shudu Lake—Dijitang Ranch—Qicai Waterfall—Ni Ru Village, the next day: Niru Village - Benggla - Dijitang Ranch - Shudu Lake.
Going like this is roughly a big ring road. If you follow the route on the Internet and return to Niru Village at the end, if you want to go back to the city on the same day, you can only charter a car in Niru Village. The fare is about 500-600 yuan. If you don’t go back to the city that day , you need to stay in the village for one more night. On the third day, you can choose to charter a car to Luoji early in the morning. The fare is about 250-300 yuan, and then take the shuttle bus back to Shangri-La in Luoji. The fare is 19 yuan, from Niru Village The journey to Shangri-La takes about 5 hours. And according to the guide, there seems to be only one shuttle bus a day, at eight o'clock in the morning.
If you follow our route, the end point of the hike on the second day is Shudu Lake. After arriving at Shudu Lake, you can take the internal bus of the scenic spot to the gate of the scenic spot, and then take the bus back to the city at the gate. The next day's hike It takes about eight hours, which is about the same as the hiking time of Niru Village-Qicai Waterfall-Niru Village, but you must grasp the bus time in the scenic area and the bus back to Shangri-La. If you arrive late, you may not be able to go back, so the second Day hikes must start early.
Route information and guide introduction
1. First of all, this hiking route is not very mature, and the route on the second day is more wild than the first day. In the past, these two roads were a shortcut from Niru Village to Shangri-La. On the first day, it took about 11 hours to walk. Locals only needed six or seven hours to walk this route, and on the second day, it took about 8 hours to walk. It only takes three or four hours for the locals to walk. So when hiking, be sure to bring dry food for these two days.
However, it is a bit difficult for us who are not familiar with the road conditions and routes to walk. Although there are road signs for the whole journey on the first day (you can see the pictures behind the signs), there are not many. It is easy to go wrong from the foundation to the ranch-Qicai Waterfall Road, because Dijitang Ranch is a basin and a grassland, there is no obvious road, so it is very easy to go wrong, and the road of Benggla-Dijitang Ranch on the second day's itinerary is even less obvious.
2. Don’t expect to use navigation here, because this road is not on the map at all, and most of the mobile phone signals are not available, only in Shudu Lake, Jijitang Ranch, Colorful Waterfall, and Niru Village Only a few points have a signal, and the network speed is very slow, and there is almost no signal between points. The signal and internet speed of Niru Village are normal, and there is a wireless network.
3. There is only a place to eat and live in Niru Village throughout the whole process. In order to ensure safety and complete the hike smoothly, it is recommended to find a guide to lead the way. On an immature hiking trail, it will undoubtedly be easier to hike with a guide who not only knows the climate, but also the roads in all directions.
Guide fee: Shudu Lake-Niru Village Because we are looking for a local guide in Niru Village, we need to arrive at Shudu Lake one night in advance, so the cost is 300 a day, and you can also choose to ride a mule, the cost is 360 yuan a horse , including the guide fee.
Niru Village-Jijitang Ranch is 200 yuan a day, and riding a mule is 260 yuan a horse. The reason why we sent it to Jijitang Ranch is because we can find our way back here by ourselves. After all, we have already walked through it once. The second point is that it is relatively late to reach Jijitang Ranch, and the guide will not be able to get home until after dark.
The actual test experience tells you that if you are a local tyrant and don’t care about the money, you can ride a mule for two days. If you are a more economical type and like to take pictures, you can choose not to ride a mule on the first day and ride it on the second day. Mule, because more than half of the time on the Benggla side is climbing, riding a mule can save a lot of energy, but the lovely mule will suffer and be pitiful along the way. Moreover, the scenery along the way on the first day of the trip is much more beautiful than that on the second day. It is very difficult to take pictures while riding on a mule, and it is easy to fall off, and it is troublesome to keep going up and down.
Before we came, we read a lot of guides on the Internet and found a few guides (you should also find guides in the ancient city of Dukezong), but after adding them, they didn’t reply to us. In the end, only the son of Uncle Luosang, a villager in Niru Village, replied. He met us and became our guide. Uncle Lausanne used to be the head of Niru Village. One side supports the other. Uncle Lausanne’s son is very honest and simple, which undoubtedly made our journey very reassuring.
4. There is no accommodation in Niru Village on the Internet, and we have not seen restaurants in Niru Village, so when we get there, we basically have food and lodging at the guide’s house. We will eat whatever the host’s house eats. The price of our dinner is 40 yuan per person. There are three dishes: stewed radish with yak meat (the portion is very large, you can eat enough beef when you go shopping, and the taste of the soup is also very good, but the yak meat does not seem to be fresh, it seems to be used air-dried), scrambled eggs with tomatoes, fried peas. Breakfast is tomato noodles. The price is 15 yuan per person.
The accommodation originally cost us 160 yuan per room, but in the end we negotiated the price to 120 yuan per room. The rooms are all standard rooms, which are quite clean. It is very cold when we sleep at night, and the water pipes are still frozen when we wake up in the morning.
5. We didn't see other hikers during the whole journey, but only saw herdsmen three times on the road.
How to get to Shudu Lake?
Shudu Lake is located in Pudacuo Scenic Area. If you want to reach Shudu Lake, you need to go to Pudacuo Scenic Area first, and then take the scenic bus to Shudu Lake after arriving in Pudacuo. The ticket for Pudacuo Scenic Area is 100 yuan when we go. If you live in the urban area and need a chartered car to reach Pudacuo, the cost of our chartered car is 150 yuan. After the hike, we returned to the urban area only to find that we were cheated, and the round-trip fee to Pudacuo was only 150 yuan. During the period, the driver would wait at the gate of the scenic spot until you finished the tour.
Another way is to live in the local villagers' homes in Puda Village. This requires you to contact the local villagers yourself. You should be able to find them in Dukezong Ancient City. The advantage is that the villagers have no time limit and can freely enter and leave the Pudacuo Scenic Area, and then drive Send you to the starting point of the hike, and the start time of the hike will be much earlier, and you can reach Niru Village before dark. The cost of this is about 250 yuan for pick-up (including from Shangri-La to the villagers' homes, and then to the hiking point early the next morning), and 100 yuan for the room.
Precautions and required items
Backpack: 30-40 liters is enough (if you are camping, the capacity should be larger), the bag must have two shoulders, and it is best to have a belt and a rain cover, so that it is easy to walk and can prevent rain. If possible, go directly to a professional mountaineering bag.
Shoes and hats: High-top hiking shoes are the best choice, which can effectively protect the ankle and prevent sprains. When buying shoes, be sure to choose waterproof ones, and the size should be a little larger than usual. Don’t buy shoes that are just right or pinch your feet, because your feet will swell after a long walk. The hat should be warm, preferably covering the ears, because it is very cold in the morning and evening.
Clothes: Fleece is a must. I bring a goose down liner. The jacket is preferably a jacket, which can prevent wind and water. Trekking poles and knee pads: Scientific and reasonable use of trekking poles can reduce the stress on the legs and knees, and can exercise the arm strength of the upper limbs to play a balancing role.
Trekking poles must use double poles, not single poles. Knee pads can effectively protect the knees when going down the mountain and prevent the wear and tear of the knee joints. It must be used for long-distance climbing, especially when going down the mountain.
Food and drinking water: Be sure to bring dry food for two days and water for the first day. There is no supply point until you reach Niru Village in the whole process.
Altitude: The whole journey is over 2,700 meters above sea level, and the highest point is at the Benggla Pass, with an altitude of more than 3,800 meters.

How many nights of tossing and turning, the pictures of the distant place came to my mind, I told myself, since I have a dream, I should go after it boldly. It is said that I am a foreigner who wanders the world, but they do not know that I am just a passer-by among all living beings. I walked across mountains and rivers with a backpack on my back, and crossed rivers. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
For questions about the itinerary, add me on WeChat, or follow my Weibo to learn about my latest developments!
Shudu Lake-Jijitang Ranch
The journey on the first day was relatively long, so we chose to ride mules. Here, each of us can ride a mule. We really feel like a shepherd boy and an old cow. We travel slowly amidst the clattering sound, which is extremely comfortable.
The novel way of traveling undoubtedly made us very excited. Tianshang was still slightly pale, and we woke up. After a hasty wash, we couldn't wait to set off. The result was that the arrival time was too early, and we hadn't arrived yet. We couldn't drive into the scenic spot at eight o'clock, and the anxiety hadn't emerged yet, so we were rushed away by the enthusiasm of the staff of the scenic spot. Seeing that we couldn't drive in, the staff of the scenic spot enthusiastically sent us to the meeting point in the scenic spot.
Surprises - one after another, a colorful and beautiful picture, just like this slowly unfolding before our eyes. When passing by Shudu Lake, everything that caught our eyes deeply shocked our minds. The clear sapphire-like sky is dotted with dots of white clouds. It is as clear as it can cleanse people's hearts.
The scenery along the way is truly one step at a time, and ten steps at a time. The mist in the morning has not yet dissipated. The smog seems to have covered Shudu Lake with a layer of white gauze. Into a new world. The breeze is coming, the smoke is slowly rolling, and the white gauze is gently swaying, occasionally blowing away a corner, and you can still see slender white cranes, vigorous horses, cranes and horses, and clouds and smoke, just like a fairyland.
Except for the first two pictures of Shudu Lake, which were taken in the morning, the rest were taken on the return trip the next day. On the first day, because the sky was not very bright in the morning and the sun was still hiding behind the mountains, the Shudu Lake Ranch was still shrouded in black shadows. I took a lot of photos, but they are not very good-looking, so I will not release them. Let's just make do with enjoying the beautiful scenery of Shudu Lake Ranch at sunset.
The beauty is dazzled, before you can take a closer look at every scene, the phone rings, and you pick up the phone in a hurry, but you can't bear the ringing to break such a beautiful picture scroll, the simple voice of the guide rings in the phone, We only knew that the guide came to Jijitang Ranch from Niru Village yesterday to pick us up in a soft exchange, in order to be able to pick us up early so that we can enjoy the leisurely morning. For some reason, we have just been washed by the pure scenery A trace of warmth gradually appeared in his peaceful heart, and a feeling of emotion filled his heart. It turns out that there are not only beautiful scenery during the journey, but also countless goodwill.
What made people laugh was that the guide kept exclaiming on the phone that there were cranes by the lake. It is also true that the white crane is often a symbol of immortality among the symbols of the millennium in China. I don’t know how many literati and writers, and ghost novels praise the white crane. It is no exaggeration to be a crane.
The sun dispelled the white mist unknowingly, and the dense loess forest was clearly presented in front of the eyes, and the horses in groups of three or two were scattered in search of food, which looked so peaceful and beautiful under the ironing of the eyes.
In this way, under the guidance of the guide, we started hiking, oh no! Travel on a mule! . The weather in the morning is slightly cool, but the fire in our hearts keeps driving us forward. Riding a mule leisurely, constantly marveling at every scenery around, this kind of hiking and primitive tools make us feel like we have traveled back to the millennium before, and the mule bells echoed and strolled leisurely.
The vegetation here is completely different from other places. More importantly, perhaps it is less affected by human beings, and everything retains its original appearance. A natural and wild atmosphere surrounds the road.
The most amazing thing among them is undoubtedly the long pine basket hanging on the tree along the way, hanging between the trees like a white whisk. coming travelers.
Curiosity made us unable to help asking our own questions to the guide, and the guide's introduction made us awe-inspiring. This long pine basket can only grow when the air quality is excellent. After knowing it, we couldn't help but suck the air hard all the way, after all, it's not easy to enjoy such fresh air in the future.
When going down the mountain, because the mountain road is too steep, the mule is easy to slip. For the sake of safety, the guide asked us to start walking on foot. We were amazed, and the sound of taking pictures kept coming and going, and we came to Jijitang Ranch before we knew it.
If Shudu Lake is as mysterious as a fairyland, then Dijitang Ranch is undoubtedly a paradise-like tranquility, with traffic on the rice paddies, and chickens and dogs hearing each other. As soon as I entered the Dijitang Ranch, the scenery in front of me shocked me deeply.
The strange rocks are rugged, the vegetation is scattered like stars, and the dots are full of vitality. The loess green forest is as beautiful as a picture scroll.
Jijitang Ranch is a very suitable place to stay. The most regrettable thing about hiking this time is that we did not carry tents, sleeping bags, cooking utensils and other camping equipment. Otherwise, we really want to camp here for a day. On this plateau, in winter The bright starry sky at night must be beautiful! If you have time, energy, and friends who like this place, you can choose to camp here at Jijitang Ranch, and you can also camp at the Ranch above the Colorful Waterfall for a day, so that you can split the first day's itinerary into two or three days , It will be easier to walk in this way, and you will have more time to feel and appreciate here. But you must bring your camping equipment and dry food, especially in winter when it is very cold at night, it may be minus ten degrees, and there is no supply point throughout the journey. Only when you reach Niru Village will there be a small store. Safety comes first when traveling outside.
The blue sky here really seems to be endless, spreading continuously to the distance. At the end of the vast plateau meadow is a lush cold temperate coniferous forest, with fine and dense needles, straight trunks, slowly flowing streams, and naturally fallen trees. The trunk, white, tender green, withered yellow, and sky blue, are constantly blending and touching here, making people feel the precipitation of millions of years. Perhaps, this is the real aura of wildness.
Then, under the introduction of the guide, we just learned that every summer, herdsmen will drive cattle, sheep and horses to live here for a period of time, so that the cattle and sheep can enjoy the gift of nature here. In summer, there is a green grassland, standing In the meantime, it seems that as long as you stretch out your hand, you can touch the sky and pick off the clouds. It turns out that the ancient meadow here not only has beautiful scenery, but also contains infinite vitality and nourishes a piece of land.
Colorful Waterfall - Niru Village
There are two hiking trails starting from Jijitang Ranch, one is leading to Benggla, and the other is leading to Colorful Waterfall, both of which are on the mountain opposite to Shudu Lake after arriving at Jijitang Ranch, along the way there is Shudu Lake-Ni The road signs in Ru Village are far apart, and there is no obvious road. If you follow the direction of the road signs, the route you take should lead to the colorful waterfall. The road leading to Benggla has no signposts, so you need a guide to take you away. It is difficult to find by yourself, and if you go wrong, it is more dangerous.
After that, we decided to rush to the colorful lake waterfall. I thought that we would not be amazed by any beautiful scenery after watching it like a fairyland, but we never thought that the surprise would come so suddenly. The beautiful scenery during the journey once again gave us a real visual feast. If the unique topography of the plateau is the uncanny workmanship of nature, then every step and scene of the journey must be a gift bestowed upon us by nature.
The coniferous forests on both sides of the road stand proudly, and from time to time you can see a horse wandering in the forest. The river passes through the forest, constantly scouring the round gray stones protruding from the water surface, and white waves appear, as if even the river has become a pure white ribbon, surrounding the mountain forest.
If the beauty of the mountains and forests lies in their vitality, then the mountains and forests here have a unique ancient connotation that is not found elsewhere in addition to their vitality. The withered trees are messy to the end, but they give endless nutrients to the new trees, and the cycles are full of vitality. It is beautiful to the extreme.
The moss is quietly dotted among the stones, and the dots and dots tell the story of this ancient land. It is like the darling of nature, and it has not been damaged by anything.
Chinese food was settled on the way to Qicai Waterfall at Jijitang Ranch, which is the place in the picture below. It should be about one o'clock to eat Chinese food. The food was purchased in downtown Shangri-La the day before, including chocolate, ham sausage, and bread. , spicy strips, braised eggs, beef jerky, etc.
It takes about three hours to hike + ride a mule from Jijitang Ranch to the colorful waterfall. The colorful waterfall is named colorful, and its environment is even more wonderful. The colorful waterfalls are located in Niru Village, South Shangri-La County. This huge group of waterfalls embraces each other from the highlands, complements the surrounding dense virgin forests and clear rivers, and looks like a gorgeous rainbow under the sunshine.
The place where we and the guide arrived was a ranch. I don’t remember the specific name. To reach the colorful waterfall, we need to walk down the steps from the ranch. It takes about 15 minutes and it takes about 30 minutes to go up. At present, the plank road is being repaired in the colorful waterfall, and it is estimated that it will be repaired next year.
Colorful Waterfall is a Huarong fan-shaped platform formed by the giant springs ejected from the caves on the banks of the Niru River. It forms a 180-degree waterfall with a rock face about 30 meters high and 330 meters long. The spring water falls from the platform to form a dripping waterfall. , Line Waterfall, and Horse Waterfall, under the sunshine, a rainbow surrounds the waterfall, and its landscape stones are very strange and magnificent. Local Tibetans call this waterfall the God Waterfall.
In the colorful waterfall, seeing the falling water on the original tundra will really make you think that you are in a fairyland, the stream is gurgling, and what flows away is the inner impetuousness with white bubbles, and the rest is you in nature all the joy of and the bliss of being in it. The surrounding dense forest quietly embraces the waterfall, forming a small lake in front of the waterfall, and the gray and white gravel around it makes the waterfall shine brightly. Yes, this is the colorful waterfall, a waterfall that looks like a waterfall from the sky.
At the guide's prompt, we then chose to return the same way. The guide had already been waiting for us above the waterfall for an hour and a half.
Then we set off to Niru Village again. The beautiful scenery during the journey shocked us again. During the journey, we met a river riding a mule. Different, this creek is like a simple and honest child, hidden among the vegetation, the round stones in the river are protruded by the water flow, the humid climate makes the stones covered with moss, old and rustic, There is a kind of back-to-basics beauty.
In addition to the river, we experienced a thrilling scene while riding a mule. The experience of riding a mule over a cliff must be rarely experienced. During the journey, we experienced such a thrilling journey. It's not just a slippery ride for fun, it really makes people tremble inwardly, but fortunately, the journey ended not long ago, and the reverberation is still scary, but it is also extremely unforgettable.
We finally arrived at the legendary Niru Village, and we saw Niru Village on the mule far away. Niru Village is one of the landmark nomination sites for the natural wonders of the World Natural Heritage of "Three Rivers (Nujiang, Lancang, Jinsha) flowing in parallel". It is located in the northeast of Shangri-La City, Diqing Prefecture, Yunnan Province, east of Dongni Township, Daocheng County, Sichuan Province , Exi Township, Muli County across the river, connected to Yanluo Village, Luoji Township, Shangri-La City to the south, Jiantang Town, Shangri-La City to the west, Yading Township, Daocheng County, Sichuan Province, and Geza Township, Shangri-La City to the north.
I heard that there are only more than 600 people in the village and only one kindergarten. This small village hidden in the plateau looks very simple, and the name of the village is very simple.
The meaning of the journey is not only the scenery, but also meeting all kinds of people. Perhaps the plateau is sunny, and the villagers here are all healthy. We stayed at the guide’s house and had dinner together. We sat at the small table , Lively and warm. Before eating, we took a stroll in the village. The beauty of the village is different from other places. The simplicity of the stone houses and the natural beauty are harmoniously blended. Surrounded by the deep forest, dead trees and new trees can be seen everywhere, with a trace of death. The beautiful artistic conception of Yunsheng allows you to feel the natural beauty accumulated over millions of years during your bumpy walk.
Niru Village - Benggla - Jitang Ranch - Shudu Lake
The night before, we told our guide, the son of Uncle Lausanne, that today we are going to return on foot from Niru-Benggla-Dijitang Ranch-Shudu Lake. We only need a mule, because we don’t feel very tired on the first day. , I call a mule because I want the mule to carry the luggage, and I will ride alternately when I am too tired. Maybe he felt that he made less money, or maybe he was a little tired yesterday or had other things today, so he called another guide for us (kind and a little old, but he walks very neatly and fast, we young people are tired No, gasping, ashamed), the other guide has no mules and no horses, so we can only go on foot, and this guide can only send us to Jijitang Ranch (send us to Jijitang Ranch, he It may be dark when we go back. If we send it to Shudu Lake, we may not be able to go back tonight), and then we will return to Shudu Lake along the original road.
The actual test experience tells you that if you are a local tyrant and don’t care about the money, you can ride a mule for two days. If you are a more economical type and like to take pictures, you can choose not to ride a mule on the first day and ride it on the second day. Mule, because more than half of the time on the Benggla side is climbing, riding a mule can save a lot of energy, but the lovely mule will suffer and be pitiful along the way. Moreover, the scenery along the way on the first day of the trip is much more beautiful than that on the second day. It is very difficult to take pictures while riding on a mule, and it is easy to fall off, and it is troublesome to keep going up and down.
After walking up the mountain from Niru Village for about 40 to 50 minutes, there will be a fork in the road. Go up, that is, the road on the left and the mountain is to Bengla, and the road to the right and the cliff is to the colorful waterfall. There are two signs at the fork in the road, so you can’t go wrong. Looking at the signature below, it should be made by the old village chief, Uncle Lausanne.
From Niru Village to Benggla all the way up the slope along the creek, and it is very steep, and the guide walks very fast, probably in order to be able to go back before dark, and it didn’t take long. We were exhausted and panting, I kept sitting down to rest, Yiduo's physical strength was surprisingly good, she was always ahead of me, she didn't rest when I was resting, even if the guide walked so fast, Yiduo It's still so fast, as a man, I really dissatisfied.
We almost arrived at Benggla on foot for more than four hours. The beauty of Benggla is slightly different from other places. The dense withered yellow meadow covers every inch of land, and the trees are not tall but their branches are very developed. Occasionally, you can see Seeing free-range piglets foraging in the meadow, this kind of free-range piglets can be said to be very rare elsewhere, it is really a magical and beautiful land.
Looking around, the seabuckthorn forest that can be seen in the eyes keeps hitting the eyeballs like this, and they seem to be going straight to the sky as they stand upright. If the blue sky in other places is still dotted with white clouds, then the blue sky here is an endless blue sky. This blue sky is quiet and distant, and the sunlight is scattered without any hindrance, making people intoxicated and enjoying it quietly. This natural gift.
On our way, we met villagers driving pigs down the mountain, but they were not allowed to take pictures. I had already pressed the shutter before they were allowed to take pictures.
After eating a simple picnic in Benggla, we started to go to Benggla Pass again. We were once again shocked by the spectacular scenery. The uncanny workmanship of nature is really amazing.
From this section, the road began to blur, and there was no obvious way. We could only follow the guide. From time to time, we had to shout because the guide was walking too fast, to see where the guide was, and then follow the guide's voice to his side. Walk.
Along the way, there are naturally fallen trees and stumps that are still deeply embedded in the earth. Many of these trees and stumps have traces of burning. According to my guess, they may have been struck down by lightning when it rained and thundered. Every tree here may be much older than our age, maybe Some have been erected here for hundreds or even thousands of years.
Under the blue sky, we can even see the eagles circling and flying in the sky.
It is obviously much easier to walk from the pass. After all, the road is downhill and peaceful. At this time, Yiduo’s advantage of walking faster than me is completely gone. I don't wait for her to complain, haha...
Finally, we returned to Jijitang Ranch, where the guide showed us the way, and after a short rest, we left separately. There was also a small episode during the period. The price of the guide was negotiated with Uncle Lausanne’s son the first night, which was 200 yuan, and the guide could help carry the luggage. I carry my luggage and need an extra 100 yuan. After talking with Uncle Lausanne's son on the phone, it was only 200 yuan, but the guide was obviously very unhappy. Therefore, when you are looking for a guide, you must first negotiate the price. The price package does not include backpacks, and you need to make it clear to avoid unnecessary trouble.
After bidding farewell to the guide, fearing that we would go the wrong way and be trapped in this mountain, we quickened our pace. If we go the wrong way, there is still room for rescue, which is better than spending the night in this wilderness. All the way along a road sign far away, walking on the road that is not easy to walk, the dark and silent forest is terrible, the two of us walked more heavily and faster. After walking for nearly 40 minutes, a ray of sunlight suddenly came in, and we saw the Shudu Lake in the distance, which was shining because of the sun. Only then did the two of them let go of their hearts, sighing at the same time, that they did not make a mistake. Road, we will be there soon, here is very safe, we can go home before dark...
Because a lot of photos of Shudu Lake and Jijitang Ranch have been posted at the beginning, so I won’t repeat them here. Just use these few photos to support today's scene.
When we reached the end of the hike, there were still scattered tourists in the Pudacuo Scenic Area. They got on the bus in the scenic area together and ended the two-day hike.
The long-term hiking has made us all exhausted, but the physical fatigue has not affected our spiritual excitement at all. Today, we have seen mountains, rivers, plateaus and meadows, how can we not feel excited.
epilogue
In my opinion, travel can’t just rely on transportation, it’s all in one step, and maybe you can really feel the wonderful enjoyment of travel by going on a hiking trip occasionally, to feel the beauty of every scenery, every trace of fresh air, and to meet many different people. Friends, maybe you will realize the true meaning of travel in this way.
In life, each of us is traveling, no matter whether the beginning or the end is good, what really matters is the scenery along the way. One flower, one world, one tree, one bodhi, every scenery is to enjoy, every trip has surprises, the important thing is not the purpose of travel, but the process of travel. If you want to truly experience the joy of traveling, then, slow down, take a real hiking trip, walk every inch of land, appreciate every inch of scenery, appreciate everything with your heart, surprises will come quietly inadvertently , I believe you can feel the true meaning of travel and understand the true meaning of life.
