Tell the bus driver that you are going to Tanyaogou Village. It will be around 10 o'clock when you arrive. There is still 5 kilometers to go into Tanyaogou Village from the Sanjiang intersection (I took a tricycle from an older lady at the intersection, and she was very kind and sent me to a field not far away, where I can see the Horse Ya Snow Mountain up close) Then I set up my camera and took random pictures of this meal, and then climbed to a grassy slope on the opposite side (Picture 2).

There are also waterfalls and other things at the bottom of the mountain... (I will set up a tent next time) After 1 o'clock, I returned to the three-way intersection and walked a few hundred meters to catch a car and go to Wushaoling. I took photos in Wushaoling for more than an hour and then waited on the roadside for the shuttle bus from Huazang Temple back to Wuwei. . There is probably no place to stay in the village.
