The hike is worth it! See the mountains covered in rhododendrons ✨In Jiuzihai, Shangri-La, Yunnan, you can see the mountains covered in rhododendrons. There are white, pink, and purple flowers everywhere! It's so beautiful, it doesn't seem real. It's not just a few bushes, but several mountains covered in flowers. The hike is worth it! Go before the flowers are gone! ✅Jiuzihai hiking guide: Take an off-road vehicle to the Jiuzihai hiking starting point. The drive takes about 2.5 hours. Arrive at the Jiuzihai hiking starting point at about 10:00. See the seasonal rhododendrons and lakes. The hike is about 10–12 km. The highest altitude is about 4,300–4,400 m. The altitude rises about 700 m. The difficulty is medium to high. Bring your own food and water. The road is complicated, so be sure to find a local guide! ✅Recommended equipment for high-altitude hiking: Backpack, hard shell jacket, fleece, sun hat, quick-dry clothes, hiking boots, rain gear or raincoat, headlamp, trekking poles, gloves, knee pads, sunglasses, sunscreen, phone, more than 2 liters of water, food (bread, jerky, chocolate, etc.). ✅About the Jiuzihai hiking route in Shangri-La: There are beautiful views, primitive wooden houses, cows and sheep, and beautiful grasslands. It's a favorite of high-altitude hikers. There are large pine forests, heavy moss with morning dew, and fallen trees that take two people to hug. The air is great, and the forest is a real oxygen bar. The Jiuzihai lakes are glacial lakes scattered throughout the mountains. They look like emeralds, with snow-capped mountains, rocks, grasslands, and lakes. It's like a dream.
