I have always wanted to go to Ailao Mountain to see the real version of Yunnan Worm Valley, so I arranged a trip during this National Day. Unexpectedly, before departure, Ailao Mountain became popular again because of the occupation of the mountain, and it was even shrouded in a touch of mystery and danger. This time we just walked around the periphery, including Jinshan Primeval Forest Park and the Ancient Tea-Horse Road, and did not enter the core area. The moss forests, mushrooms and strange and bizarre branches that can be seen everywhere satisfy all my fantasies about the primeval forest. The length and climb of the loop are also very friendly to novice hikers who want to experience the unique scenery of the primeval forest. There is no need to reload and it only takes half a day. #Ailao Mountain #Yunnan Tourism #Primitive Forest

You can enjoy the magnificent scenery of Ailao Mountain along the way, but the roads in the mountainous area are rugged, so be sure to drive safely🚘. 🏠Accommodation sharing 👉If you want to watch the sunrise over the sea of ​​clouds, you can choose to stay in an inn or B&B near the scenic spot, but the accommodation environment may not be that good. 👉You can also choose to stay in Gasa Town, Xinping County. There are hotels and B&Bs to choose from. It takes about an hour’s drive from the scenic spot. ❌Barrier: Lujiu Hotel (Gasa Branch) There is no hot water in the shower and the service attitude is poor. The room environment is okay.

The trees here are tall, blocking out the sky and the sun, and are covered with all kinds of moss. The fog is always there, and the air is crisp, making it feel like a world isolated from the rest of the world. The entire scenic spot is a circular route, about 1.5 kilometers, taking photos while walking, and can be completed in about 1 hour.

It is recommended to bring warm clothes and rain gear to prevent sudden changes in weather. 2️⃣The beauty and danger of Ailao Mountain coexist. Tourists must be in awe of nature when exploring. Unopened areas are full of risks, including complex terrain, variable climate, and wild animal threats. Relevant departments have issued safety reminders, added safety signs, emphasized the potential dangers of unopened areas, and called on tourists not to enter without authorization. 3️⃣Care for the environment during play and do not throw away garbage at will.

💚Location: Jinshan Primeval Forest is located in Gasa Town, Xinping Yi and Dai Autonomous County, Yuxi City. Transportation: You can take a plane or high-speed rail to Kunming or Yuxi, and then there are buses from Kunming and Yuxi to Gasa Town. How to get around: 1️⃣ If possible, you can drive by yourself or rent a car after arriving in Gasa. This is more convenient and you can enjoy the scenery along the way to Ailao Mountain. Several scenic spots are on the same route, but there are more mountain roads. 2️⃣If you don’t have a driver’s license, walk a few hundred meters uphill from the intersection of Gaga Youth Hostel in Gasa Town and there is a bus to Jinshan Primeval Forest. You will come to a canteen on the way and you need to change buses. The fare is 10 yuan. If you don’t understand, you can ask more and the locals will enthusiastically tell you how to take the bus. Attraction route: First stop: Nan'en Waterfall (10 minutes), second stop: Clan Manor (30 minutes), third stop: Shimen Gorge (2-3 hours, if you are lucky you can meet a group of monkeys), fourth stop : Jinshan Primeval Forest (about 1.5 hours), the fifth stop: the Ancient Tea Horse Road in Zhenyuan County, with a glass plank road.

The bus time is very inconvenient. There is a big temperature difference in the mountains, mainly due to strong winds, so bring windproof clothing. Accommodation is very cheap, and there are many hotels and B&Bs priced at 1-300 yuan during non-peak season. You must eat gourmet yellow beef. #金山PrimitiveForest #Ailaoshan #Ailaoshan Route

👍 Highly recommended: For those who love forest hiking and adventure, Ailao Mountain Forest Park in Yunnan is now open. Grab your hiking buddy and go on an adventure! 📍 Detailed address: Check in at Ailao Mountain Scenic Area (3) - Jinshan Primitive Forest The third check-in spot in Ailao Mountain Scenic Area. There are few tourists here, and walking in the primitive forest makes you feel particularly relaxed. The trees here are lush, some of which are hundreds of years old. The trees grow in strange shapes, grow freely, block out the sun, and depend on each other. Each tree is covered with moss, like wearing a green fleece jacket, making it hard to see what the bark looks like. Many trees are hollow, but the canopy is still dense and lush. The trees are tenacious. This place is really primitive and is one of the must-visit spots in Ailao Mountain.
