Yubeng | Hiker’s Paradise

If you are looking for a little off road experience and breathtaking views, visit Yubeng in Yunnan. I combined my trip to Yubeng with a visit to Shangrila as both are not too far from each other. There are only 2 ways you can access this small village nestled between mountains ranges. You hike in for 4-6 hours or take an off road Jeep for 20-30mins that takes you through winding paths through the mountains - can be tricky if you are the car sick type. I went in winter - can be quite cold if you are planning to hike and some of the hikes can be quite tough. You need ice crampons. Some of the easier routes are very well marked and harder ones are not. I would go again in spring/summer as I was told the views are completely different and the hiking trails are a little easier. You can also see fields of wildflowers blooming in Spring. #yubengvillage #雨崩 #yunnan #falltrip #familytrip #trip #instatravel #hike #云南 #
