Dulongjiang Canyon

The tour guide's road into the Dulong River is a township-level road that has just been built, and the road ends when it reaches the village. If you want to really enter the settlement of the Dulong people, you still need to walk for a long time, and they live relatively scattered. In the process of hiking the Dulong River, walking more than 15 kilometers every day is a big test for physical strength and perseverance. You need to think carefully before traveling. Main routes of the Dulong River section: Suspension bridge (right bank of the river) → Tiemu Bridge → Maku Hymn → Downhill → Qinlangdang → Jiezhuan → Climbing to the top (turn right from Yakou fork) → Maku → Suspension Bridge → Tengmei Bridge → Kong when. According to the information provided by the Gongshan Tourism Bureau: Gongshan - Qiqi 17 kilometers, Qiqi - Dongshaofang 13 kilometers, Dongshaofang - Bapo 30 kilometers, Bapo - Maku 22 kilometers, Maku - The waterfall is 8 kilometers long, Bapo-Kongdang is 18 kilometers, and the whole journey is 138 kilometers. Introduction This is a remote and mysterious canyon, located in the Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture and Gongshan Dulong Nu Autonomous County in the northwest of Yunnan Province. Every November, the Dulong River Valley loses almost all contact with the outside world. The snow cover more than ten meters thick blocks all residences from the snow-capped mountains. Only when the snow and ice melts in August next year is the lively season of the river valley. The Dulong River originates from Zayu, and winds for 150 kilometers from north to south in Yunnan. The average width of the river is about 40 meters. The people of Dulong Village on both sides of the east and west banks "can hear conversations across the bank, meet and shake hands and walk for three days", which is no exaggeration. In some places, it is difficult to shake hands even after walking for ten days. Moreover, the river is fast, the reefs are sloping, and it is impossible to ferry boats, so people can only "fly" through the canyon to keep the connection between the two sides of the strait. The Dulong people can really "fly" across the canyon, and there are many ways to "fly": one is called a suspension bridge. No matter how many things the Dulong people carry, they can fly across the river from the "suspension bridge" during the day and night. Light, like walking on the ground. Another way to cross the river is to zipline. In fact, it is very dangerous to walk on the suspension bridge or zipline, but the power of survival enables the Dulong people to practice special skills, so traveling along the Dulong River, just watching the Dulong people crossing the river can make people feel great satisfaction. Special reminder: From the end of October to the end of April of the next year, the mountain is closed by heavy snow, and the rainy season from May to August is not good and dangerous. It is recommended to enter in autumn, when the climate and scenery are better. The weather in the mountains is fickle, so please be careful. Individual place names are recorded according to local pronunciation. It is recommended to have a local person familiar with the situation as a guide.
