Qianniang Mountain

Qianniang Mountain Those who want to try this route must be well prepared. We encountered a snake as soon as we started climbing, which was a close call, but the snake was also frightened and slipped back into the grass. Along the way, we heard the sound of snakes moving through the grass. The dirt path should only be attempted by those who have some physical fitness background, otherwise it will become more challenging later on. A hiking stick is a must-have. The beginning of the trail is relatively flat and easier to walk, but it gets steeper as you go. There will be parts where you need to use both hands to climb rocks, so definitely do not wear shorts; it's important to protect yourself. Hiking gear: sports long pants (preferably with elastic ankles), long socks, hiking shoes (there are many fine sands and stones later on that can be slippery), hiking stick, quick-dry shirt, long-sleeve sports jacket, gloves (to protect your hands during rock climbing), electrolyte water (make sure to bring enough; I brought three bottles but it was not sufficient for the climb, there are about three water-selling boxes on the mountain, but they are not always available and the price starts at 10 yuan per bottle), snacks and dry food, backpack, outdoor headlamp, medicine, mosquito repellent. I descended the mountain at night, and people start to be urged to descend around 4:30 pm. Those who want to climb the dirt path should start early, preferably before 12 pm. The total distance this time was close to 8 kilometers, and it took 6.5 hours to climb. The scenery is beautiful, but the leg pain is real. If possible, bring a knee protector, because the descent is really enjoyable, with beautiful scenery suitable for tourism and leisure.
