⛰️Good place for weekend outing 📍Nan'en Waterfall-Shimen Gorge-Yanziya Waterfall Ailao Mountain is also beautiful without the sunrise and sea of ​​clouds Travel time: 2024.08.03-04 Itinerary: Day1️⃣: Departure from Kunming at 9:00 - Lunch in Gasa Town at 12:00 - Nan'en Waterfall at 14:00 - Shimen Gorge at 15:30 - Food and accommodation at the farmhouse at 18:00 Day2️⃣: 6:30 Sunrise at the Sea of ​​Clouds Observation Deck - Return to the farmhouse for breakfast, 9:30 Yanziya Waterfall - Have dinner at the Yaonan Village Farmhouse - Return to Kunming at 18:00 ⭐️Nan'en Waterfall: Nan'en Waterfall is right on the side of the provincial road. In August, the water volume is very large, which is great for viewing and film-making. ⭐️Shimen Gorge: Tickets are RMB 30 (half price for students). The round trip takes about 2 hours and 30 minutes. You can only go back and forth on the same route. As a hiking enthusiast, I think the scenery throughout the whole journey is relatively simple and the scenery is quite different. ⭐️Yanzi Cliff Waterfall: The starting point is near the Sunrise Cloud Sea Observation Deck. The whole journey is 6 or 7 kilometers and climbs more than 700 meters. First, go down the mountain to Yanzi Cliff Waterfall. The return trip up the mountain is steep and slippery. It is recommended to wear non-slip shoelaces, trekking poles and kneepads. , there are no supply points on the road, so bring plenty of water and energy bars. You can download a two-step app and follow the map. ‼ ️Difficulty: If you are a novice and do not exercise, it will be very taxing on your legs (you can communicate with local villagers at the parking point in advance and then pick you up. The waterfall can be reached by motorcycle in 40 minutes away) 🍲Recommended delicacies in Gasa Town: Cao Su Yellow Beef Soup Pot, Huayao Field Dai Cuisine 🍲Recommended food in Nanyao Village: Black Goat Hotpot and Farmhouse (no pitfalls) 🏨Accommodation: You can stay in Gasa Town (1 hour drive from the observation deck) or Yaonan Village (very close to the observation deck). For convenience, most people will stay in Yaonan Village. The better hotels include Shujishanshe, Yunshangshexia, etc. The cheaper ones can choose farmhouses, such as Caiyun Farmhouse, Luli Piaoxiang, etc. (all of which can order and eat. breakfast) Small tips⚠️ 1️⃣When we went to Ailao Mountain in the town of Jiasa, we were advised to take the provincial highway. The navigation system asked us to take the rural road, which was not only difficult to drive but also presented a dilemma in case of a car accident. 2️⃣We hiked without a guide and relied on asking villagers for track maps along the way. If you have no hiking experience, it is recommended to find a guide from the villagers when hiking at Yanziya Waterfall. Safety comes first. 3️⃣Bring plenty of water! Bring more water! Bring more water! #爱拉山 #NotesInspiration #Outdoor Hiking
