A must-read guide for hiking beginners: Sanguanding Guide. If you cry while climbing, don’t blame me for not telling you.

Route: Steel Village 1.2.6KM Niucheping 1.9KM Meadow 1 1.5KM to Sanguanding to 3.5KM to Niucheping. You can watch the vlog of the whole journey on my homepage "Sanguanding·Green Field in the Clouds" Total time: If you start from Niucheping, 4 hours round trip is enough It is a very simple route from Niucheping to Sanguanding, and because of this it has attracted more and more people recently, so here is a summary of information that may be useful to novices who have no hiking experience: 【parking Now, if you go on weekends or holidays, don’t think about driving to Niucheping. The small cement road in Niucheping is basically a single lane. If you want to stop for the sake of convenience, you will probably be stuck on the road. And on this one-way street, if you are blocked, you can only sit and wait. In a word: 2.6 kilometers may take 40 minutes to walk, and walking is a good way to warm up for climbing. ​[Equipment] 1. Trekking poles, although you can also pick up branches, but the branches are not that smooth. It is best to wear gloves when picking up branches to use as trekking poles, otherwise the skin of your palms will be broken... 2. Raincoat. After all, the altitude of Sanguanding is over 1,000 meters and it is surrounded by mountainous areas. The weather on the top of the mountain is difficult to predict, especially when climbing at night. If it rains and winds, there is no place to hide on the bare grassy slopes of the top of the mountain. 3. Backpack, Sanguanding also needs to bring at least 4-5 bottles of water to ensure that you will not be particularly thirsty throughout the journey. Seeing that night climbing is very popular now, you should also pay attention to the following when hiking at night: 1. Be sure to bring a jacket. You can wear less clothing when climbing. However, the top of the mountain is very empty and the temperature changes in the early morning are difficult to predict. If you don’t wear a jacket, you will probably get sick when you come down. 2. I don’t recommend rushing up in the rain, or struggling on the top of the mountain in the middle of the night, just to see the sea of ​​clouds. We are not really special forces, and our equipment cannot withstand these extreme weather conditions. Seas of clouds can be found everywhere. Dananshan can be seen by car, so there is no need to risk your life for the sea of ​​clouds. Although Sanguan Mountain is very simple and beautiful, we must face the fact that this is a wilderness. There was a small problem last time. It took 28 hours for the rescue to send people down the mountain. If you don’t bring a good coat or raincoat, just a single layer of clothing in case of encounter In this case, you have to think about whether you can wait for rescue for 28+ hours. Finally, I can only appeal to everyone to take away all the garbage, and it is best not to throw it in Niucheping (because there are trash cans in Niucheping, but they are already full).
