The revelry after the desperate situation on Cloak Mountain
A full circuit of 17km with an elevation gain of 1100m takes about 7-12 hours to complete.
Duyun Cloak Mountain, located in Duyun City of Qiannan Buyei and Miao Autonomous Prefecture in Guizhou Province, is known as 'the closest primitive forest to a city area in China'. Not only does it feature majestic and precipitous mountains and canyons, but it also boasts natural landscapes with strong mountains, secluded valleys, beautiful forests, and clear waters, with a forest coverage rate of over 80%, making it a huge biological gene bank. At the main peak, there is a supreme heavenly pool, which is associated with a tale of three fairies who descended to the mortal world to bathe here.
This route is seldom traveled by commercial groups due to its difficulty, but it is a favorite challenge for many hikers.
Here, I heard the rustling of the wind through the square bamboo
I heard the gentle flow of the stream
I heard the roaring of the waterfall from high above
I heard the curious sounds of small animals
I heard my teammates greeting the beautiful mountains
I saw the clear green of the bamboo leaves
I saw the beautiful blossoming of exotic flowers and plants
I saw the grandeur of the heavenly pool at the mountain summit
I saw countless mountains piercing the clouds
I saw the panoramic view of the mountains from the supreme peak
I saw countless things I had never seen before
