Baigu Yunshui Gorge is very beautiful. The whole trip took the 3-year-old children and only took the most preliminary trip. I experienced the canyon, creek, moss forest... as if the Miyazaki comic world was on display. It is highly recommended that it is a bit tired to hike. It is recommended to be led by a guide and introduced along the way.
Tickets for 500 yen forest conservation fee, provide maps in Chinese, English and Japanese, about4-5 hours to take the Great Ring Line, the 6th attraction is the mountain road (compared to the original ecology), the forest often rains, it is best to waterproof clothes. Baigu Yunshui Gorge is a valley of the Baigu River, a tributary of Miyagi-puchuan, north of Ukushima. This area is rich in rain, and the huge rocks such as Taigu Rock formed after granite was eroded, covering the dense native forest. The native forest has the "Yayoi Sugi" that makes Kagoshima people very proud. At the same time, you can see the traces of the cedar trees being cut down in various places. It is said that the big forest saved by the hero in Miyazaki's "Ghost Princess" is the Baigu Yunshui Gorge Forest of Yakushima.
At 7.30am, a guide from England, Steve, arrived at the hotel to pick us up for the first day of the White Valley Cloud Gorge hike. The area that really entered the World Heritage Site is prohibited for tourists. Our hiking area was also heavily cut down at the end of the 19th century and was restored. Moss-covered woods are said to be the inspiration for Miyazaki's "Ghost Princess". The mountain is famous for its Millennium fir trees, which often see the dead giant fir trees grow strong and new, or become huge tree holes to look up at the blue sky. The 7-hour hike is using the mountain to use stones, boards and even the roots of the natural cushions of the rugged road. Some sections are quite steep, and finally climbed to 1060 meters to see the valley. The children also insisted. The deepest feeling is the politeness and environmental protection of the Japanese. Everyone passing by will smile and nod their heads to say hello, there is no garbage bin along the way, there is no cleaner on the ground, everyone consciously take the garbage down the mountain.
