Every snowy mountain is a traveler's dream
Follow those dreams hidden in the snowy mountains with a pious heart
In the heart of every traveler
There's always a place
Such a scenery
Will make them desperate to pursue it
Wanting to travel is just a human instinct.
No matter how dull and boring a person may say, he will naturally long for distance.
Whenever Lijiang is mentioned, people's first impression is the "capital of love encounters", and the ancient city and bars have become the protagonists of Lijiang.
In fact, Lijiang is far more than just an affair, but also a snowy mountain!
Lijiang is rich in outdoor resources, and there are many extremely beautiful places around the Yulong Snow Mountain to climb and hike.

In Lijiang, some people go for hot pot, some people go for beautiful women, some people go for movies, but I may just be for the snowy mountains!
When I came to Lijiang and lived in the Ancient City of Lijiang, I experienced this legendary "City of Affinity". After walking around, I didn't know whether the affair was true or not, but I encountered many wine trays. I don't know if Lijiang has any, but Lijiang has snow-capped mountains that are enough!
Start from the ancient city early in the morning and go to the snowy mountains that I am longing for! The ancient city in the morning is the real ancient city. There are no bustling tourists and no noisy hawking sounds from bars.
The weather is very good, which indicates that the mountain climbing will be smooth today!
The bus interval to Yuhu Village is relatively long. If you have friends who want to go, you must arrange the time in advance!
Arriving at Yuhu Village at around 9 o'clock. Yuhu Village is still very unique. The houses are all built of stone. Due to the time, my friends and I started climbing mountains without taking a closer look at it!
Let me introduce my little friend, Axu, from Xiamen. We have hiked many places together.
The Grand Canyon Line is the only one among the Yulong Snow Mountain routes that can be found online. This route is called a mountaineering training route. It is small in difficulty and low in danger, but it has a large altitude drop and a long thread, making it suitable for people with good physical fitness.
On the way, we met our climbing guide. I am really lucky that the great god came to the Snow Mountains and Grand Canyon to train and prepare for the 100-kilometer cross-country race in Siguniang Mountain. It's really helpful for us who are coming to mountain climbing for the first time.
Starting from Yuhu Village, after leaving the village, we will reach the meadow and pass through the meadow and enter the forest. Walking in the woods along the route of Cargang Road is easy to walk, climbing evenly, and the difficulty is very small. Don't worry about taking the wrong way. At most, you can take a detour and you will all go to the same place. There is a resting place for the caravan halfway. The first large resting place to arrive was called Buckwheat Field.
After passing through the buckwheat fields, we enter the forest, and walk until we get out of the forest. Follow the road to reach the grasshopper Dam. The woods were often boring, so I didn't take much photos. There is a big stone in Mahuang Dam. It is said that spring water will emerge from the stone when it rains. I have not confirmed it. When you arrive at Mahuang Dam, you can see the quicksand slope far away.
When I arrived at the Leech Dam, my eyes lit up. The autumn in Lijiang really amazes me. The mountains and forests are dotted with colorful colors, as if they have entered the world of Andersen's fairy tale.
You can already see the quicksand slope here. Silly, I thought that the snow looked a little like the white one from a distance, but only when I got there did I realize that it was all stones.
There is a house in the stone beyond the grasshopper Dam, where you can rest, but remember that it must be before ten o'clock. After ten o'clock, villagers will guard it here and no climbing up. There are firewood cookers in the house for emergency use. (Because there are Cordyceps on the mountain)
The road will become more and more difficult in the future. Everyone supplies more supplies here. I heard that there are really leeches in the grasshopper dam and they will come out when it rains. Everyone pay attention to your steps when climbing the mountain!
After that, there began a long climbing section leading to the Sacrifice Valley and the Arrow Bamboo Grove. The difficulty of this section began to increase, the slope became larger, but the road was easy to walk, and the vision was getting better and better. You can see more and more clearly the Lijiang Bazi and the Pearl Lake under the Yulong Snow Mountain.
After a long climb after the grasshopper dam, the first point is called the Sacrifice Valley. Several places in Lijiang are called the Sacrifice Valley. This one on the mountain is the least famous one. There is a stone with these three words written on it. This should also be a place with a story, but unfortunately I couldn't understand it.
After passing through the Sacrifice Valley, we reach the last large supply point, Arrow Bamboo Forest, with an altitude of 3800. It can be said that Jianzhu Forest is the last place on this route where the altitude is not arbitrarily marked. After that, the altitude is written casually, as long as everyone is happy.
The vision is getting higher and higher, and you can see the road you came from. The scenery here is very beautiful, so I don't say much and just show the pictures!
You can already see the quicksand slopes
After the Arrow Bamboo Grove, we will reach the most interesting Liusha Slope, also called Chongcao Slope. Liushangpo is the most difficult and interesting point on the entire line. It is difficult to rise in normal times, but it is easy to fall. It takes more than an hour to go up and ten minutes to run down.
The slope of the quicksand slope is quite large. Walking in a zigzag shape, it stretches vertically to 500 altitudes, which consumes a lot of physical strength. This was where my little friend had a high rebellion and then retreated. Our guide and I continued to climb.
I didn't imagine that there were yaks and sheep on this mountain. It was really healing. Our great god is really too enthusiastic. He helps us carry things and pulls my little friends to encourage us to continue climbing.
There is a water intake point when the quicksand slope is interrupted. You can renovate it here and replenish the water source. I have to say that this snow water is really delicious. You can drink with confidence, the water on this mountain is really clean!
After crossing the quicksand slope, you can overlook the whole of Lijiang. Now it feels like the clouds are within reach, and the quicksand slopes are full of small gravel. You must be careful.
Further up you will reach the Green Snow Sea. The sign of the Green Snow Sea is on a ridge. After passing the sign, you will follow the ridge. The altitude mark of the Green Snow Sea is very high. It is estimated that it should be around 4300. You will see several Mani piles when you go up the ridge. Then you will continue to walk over the small hillside behind the Mani piles and reach a rocky mountain. Turning over again, there is a small hillside. When you reach the top, you will reach the end of the route-the Grand Canyon.
Although he was a little short of oxygen, he still couldn't help but shout a few words to vent his excitement. The snowy mountains are really sacred, please don't leave anything behind.
Everyone is a traveler on the road
Follow those dreams hidden in the snowy mountains with a pious heart
