The ultimate hiking challenge in Chongqing! 90-degree cliff ladder + rolling sea of clouds

Discovered a divine hiking trail on Jinfo Mountain in Nanchuan, Chongqing❗️This cliff ladder, carved out by locals harvesting bamboo shoots, features three nearly 90° wooden ladders hanging on a hundred-meter cliff—it's incredibly thrilling😱 Look up to see the sea of clouds flowing over the mountain tops, while beneath your feet lies a bottomless abyss. Are you brave enough to take on the challenge? 📍Jinfo Mountain South Slope Hiking Guide 🚶‍♂️Recommended route: Sanhui Village Entrance → Bamboo Forest Trail → Cliff Ladder → Sea of Clouds Viewing Platform ⚠️Tips: 1. Be sure to wear non-slip hiking shoes! The wooden ladder sections are extremely steep. 2. It’s best to arrive before 10 AM; in the afternoon, clouds often obscure the stunning views. 3. Bring enough water and snacks; there are no supply points along the way. 4. Secure your phone and camera well; if dropped, they are impossible to retrieve. 5. Those afraid of heights should be cautious—this section really requires using both hands and feet🤯 🌄Best photo spots ▫️First wooden ladder: Turn around to capture the full canyon panorama. ▫️Sea of Clouds Viewing Platform: Before 10 AM, witness the spectacular rolling sea of clouds. ▫️Bamboo Forest Trail: Light filtering through the bamboo leaves is perfect for forest-themed photos. 🍽️Nearby food ▫️Old-established Wild Vegetable Restaurant (next to Sanhui Village Committee) Recommended: Stir-fried cured meat with bamboo shoots, wild vegetable soup ▫️Jinfo Mountain Spring Water Tofu (at the scenic area entrance) Smooth and delicious, don’t forget to add the secret spicy sauce. 📌Tips ▫️Buy tickets online in advance to save 20 RMB. ▫️It’s recommended to stay overnight to catch the sunrise the next day. ▫️Avoid going on rainy days; the wooden ladders become very slippery. ▫️Travel light; backpacks should ideally not exceed 5 kg. This route is definitely one of the most thrilling hiking trails around Chongqing. Outdoor challenge lovers must come and try it out~
