🚗 Getting There
Skip public transport! Priority order:
1️⃣ Rent a car (with insurance & WiFi) — Freedom to chase sunrises!
2️⃣ Rideshares (pricey for remote spots)
3️⃣ Trains/Buses (last resort — limited access)
🏡 Stay Smart
Base at Anshang Service Area! Steps from cafes, bus stops, and trailheads. Think cozy B&Bs with mountain-view balconies (~¥200/night).
⛰️ Must-Do Route (2 Days)
Day 1: Epic Nature
- Red Stone Gorge (红石峡): Walk through crimson cliffs, emerald pools & hidden waterfalls. Take the elevator up—knee-saver!
- Zifang Lake: Pose like it’s “大理” (Dali)! Rent a speedboat or hunt for ruby-streaked stones.
- Xiaozhaigou Valley:
- Monkey Valley: Ride the jungle roller coaster 🎢—kids (and you!) will scream!
- Tanpu Canyon: Splash in turquoise shallows 💦 + find the secret “Heart Canyon” photo spot!
Day 2: Summits & Serenity
- Zhuyu Peak (茱萸峰): Summit for cloud oceans at sunrise. Cable car up + hike down to save energy.
- Phoenix Ridge: Brave the glass walkway—stomach-drop views guaranteed!
- Wanshan Temple: Whisper wishes in this Ming-era sanctuary.
💡 Pro Tips
- Go early! Beat crowds at Red Stone Gorge by 7 AM.
- Pack: Hiking boots (no flats!), waterproof bag (monkeys are thieves!), and a red bucket for waterfall pics.
- Eat: “Heji Noodles” in Anshang—add chili oil!
- Secret: Buy wild yam crisps at the night market—cheaper than in-park shops!
