Real review of Peacock Mountain, no online photos, hiking experience

Conclusion: Suitable for those with no hiking experience, who want to see beautiful scenery, get close to nature, relax, and don't have much time. 🌟Pros: 1. Short journey time. From Feilai Temple, it takes 2 hours one way, suitable for a day trip. In comparison, it takes 3 hours one way to Shuoda Village. Although it takes 1 hour to Yubeng, due to road construction, cars can only reach the starting point similar to the Nylon Line, and it takes about 6-7 hours to reach Yubeng Village (and the driver pointed out this route to us on the road, there is no scenery to see). 2. Most of the road is easy to drive, but it is not recommended to drive yourself in the snow. There is a short section of mountain road with many falling rocks and thick snow on the back of the mountain. 3. The whole journey is 4-5 km round trip. The guide said the whole journey only rises 200 m, a very easy hiking route. 4. The scenery is beautiful! Snow-capped mountains and lakes, the largest lake is at the top of the mountain. 5. Not many people! The only downside may be that it is not challenging for experienced hikers, haha. 📖Tips: 🎒: If it is a sunny day in winter, a windproof jacket with a liner or a thin down jacket is OK. Go down the mountain before sunset, it will be very cold without the sun; wear shoes suitable for climbing, I wore sneakers and it was OK. 🕶️: Bring a warm hat and sunglasses. 🍫: Bring your own lunch, you can bring chocolate, small bread, and energy drinks. 🧭: If you want to take the lake route, go to the first fork in the road uphill from the starting point, and take the rightmost one. ⏰: Departure time: after watching the sunrise, pack up and eat, depart at 11 am, and return at 4:30 pm. Trekking poles are optional. Charter 💰 can be bargained. We encountered prices ranging from 300-600, and finally carpooled for 200 per person.
