🏞️Ailao Mountain Shimenxia Scenic Area Travel Guide 1️⃣Overview of the scenic spot Geographical location: Located in the middle section of Ailao Mountain in Jiasa Town, Xinping County, Yuxi City, Yunnan Province, it is named because the cliffs on both sides of the canyon resemble stone gates. 🎈Core features: pristine forests, clear streams, waterfalls, and rugged rocks. It is known as the "Little Jiuzhaigou". ⏳️Opening hours: 08:00-18:00, it is recommended to arrive early to avoid the crowds. 2️⃣Must-check-in experience 🚶‍➡️Canyon Hiking 🍂The one-way plank road is about 2.5 kilometers, and the round trip requires a 4-kilometer walk. You can enjoy waterfalls, streams and original vegetation along the way. ☔️During the rainy season (June-September), the stream is abundant and the road is slippery, so you need to wear non-slip shoes; in the dry season, the water flow is gentle, which is suitable for playing in the water. 🔆Waterfall Viewing Although there is no viewing platform at the final waterfall, the spectacular sight of splashing water mist is worth stopping to take pictures. There are small waterfalls scattered along the way, allowing you to experience the wildness of nature up close. 🔆Winter snow scene From December to February of the following year, the snow-covered canyons and waterfalls are even more tranquil, making them a great choice for photography enthusiasts. 3️⃣Route and transportation 🚗Self-driving route: Kunming → Jiasa Town (about 3.5 hours) → Shimenxia Scenic Area (1 hour on the winding mountain road). Along the way, you will pass Nan En Waterfall (a free attraction with the highest water volume in summer). Public transportation: Take the train from Kunming to Huanian Station, transfer to a passenger bus to Jiasa Town, and then charter a car to the scenic area. 4️⃣Tickets and fees Ticket price: 30 yuan/person, no sightseeing bus, pure walking tour. Parking: There is free parking at the entrance of the scenic area. It is recommended to arrive before 8:30 during peak season. Other expenses: At the end, you can take a minibus back to the gate for 15 yuan per person (payable in cash). 5️⃣Special food recommendations Shimenxia Grilled Fish: Freshly grilled live fish, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, served with local spices. Ailao Mountain Wild Mushroom Stewed Chicken: Winter only, slow-cooked chicken and wild mushrooms, the soup is delicious. Yi Erkuai: soft glutinous rice cake with chili sauce, authentic ethnic flavor. Recommended restaurant: The first restaurant at the entrance of the scenic area (honey rice cake has a good reputation). 6️⃣Practical tips ✅️Equipment recommendations: You must bring non-slip hiking shoes, a light backpack, and more than 1L of drinking water (there are no supply points along the way). Wear warm clothes in winter and prepare sunscreen and mosquito repellent spray in summer. ⚠️Safety Tips: Do not climb unopened areas. During the rainy season, be aware of rising water levels and some sections of the trail may be closed. The signal is weak in the canyon, so it is recommended to travel in groups. Accommodation recommendation: Jiasa Town: cost-effective B&B (60-200 yuan/night), convenient dining but far from scenic spots. Near the Sea of ​​Clouds Observation Deck: high-end B&B (500-1000 yuan/night), convenient for watching the sunrise the next day. 7️⃣Recommended itinerary ✅️One-day tour: Kunming → Shimenxia hiking → Nanen Waterfall → dinner in Jiasa Town → return. ✅️Two-day tour: Day 1: Kunming → Shimenxia → stay at Yunhai Observation Deck B&B; Day 2: Sunrise over sea of ​​clouds → Jinshan primeval forest → Jiasa Huayao market → return.

👉 Jinshan Primeval Forest is located in Gasa Town, Xinping County, Yuxi City, near the Jinshan Pass of Ailao Mountain, at the junction of Xinping County, Yuxi City and Zhenyuan County, Pu'er City. 👉 Jinshan Primeval Forest is a part of Ailao Mountain National Nature Reserve. It actually covers a very large area, but what we're talking about today is only a small part of it, the part that has been simply developed and opened to the public. ～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～ 🌈Highlights: 1️⃣ Approaching the scenic area, it was already shrouded in fog. The entrance and the entire route were indeed covered in dense fog. The primeval forest, shrouded in mist all year round (it is said that it is like this for about 247 days a year), is like a real-life Emerald City. Occasionally, sunlight penetrates the forest, illuminating the leaves and branches, the moss-covered trunks and the ground. The dappled sunlight renders the primeval forest like the Garden of Eden in fairy tales. 2️⃣ A circular stone-slab walking trail is completely shaded by the overhead forest. Looking up along the glistening moss on the tree trunks, you'll see branches and leaves swaying in the wind. Walking among the withered vines and ancient trees, your head touching orchid leaves and your feet stepping on medicinal herbs, you'll pass by Leigong trees, Jiziqing, Malugou, Baoziqing, moss forests, wild boar forests, bear dens, and more, as if you've entered a prehistoric wilderness. 3️⃣ Some tree stumps, branches, and tree hollows along the trail can be explored up close, as long as it's safe to do so. You might make some unexpected discoveries and enjoy unique perspectives. ～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～ 🚗Getting There: 1️⃣ Jinshan Primeval Forest (Park) is located at Jinshan Pass in Gasa Town, Xinping County, Yuxi City. It is about 35 km from Gasa Town, about 105 km from Xinping County, and about 260 km from Kunming City. 2️⃣ Driving is strongly recommended. ～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～ 🎫Tickets: 1️⃣ Adult tickets are 10 yuan per person. Discount policies are available. 2️⃣ There is a parking lot at the entrance. The parking fee is 10 yuan. ～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～ ✨Tips: 1️⃣ In addition to Jinshan Primeval Forest, there are other attractions around Ailao Mountain, such as the Ailao Mountain Sea of Clouds and Sunrise Viewing Platform, Sanmen Gorge Scenic Area, Nanen Waterfall, Tusifu, and Chucheng Manor. You can plan to visit them together. 2️⃣ The weather on Ailao Mountain is changeable, and forecasts are not always accurate. 3️⃣ After watching the sunrise and sea of clouds on Ailao Mountain, it is very convenient to continue on to Jinshan Primeval Forest. Afterwards, you can return to Gasa or continue on to Pu'er. 4️⃣ If it's foggy, drones are unfortunately out of the question. ～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

I have always wanted to go to Ailao Mountain to see the real version of Yunnan Worm Valley, so I arranged a trip during this National Day. Unexpectedly, before departure, Ailao Mountain became popular again because of the occupation of the mountain, and it was even shrouded in a touch of mystery and danger. This time we just walked around the periphery, including Jinshan Primeval Forest Park and the Ancient Tea-Horse Road, and did not enter the core area. The moss forests, mushrooms and strange and bizarre branches that can be seen everywhere satisfy all my fantasies about the primeval forest. The length and climb of the loop are also very friendly to novice hikers who want to experience the unique scenery of the primeval forest. There is no need to reload and it only takes half a day. #Ailao Mountain #Yunnan Tourism #Primitive Forest

Remember to take protection in advance. Fortunately, our guide has a way to deal with leeches, that is, spraying pest killer on the shoes, and no leeches were sucked along the way. Moreover, there are many dangerous factors in the primitive forest, such as fog, bears, poisonous snakes, etc. The fog in the primitive forest has visibility of less than one meter, making it easy for people to lose their way. 4️⃣Climbing: The overall climb is about 700 meters 5️⃣Time taken: about 8 hours 6️⃣Climate: When we went there, the temperature in the forest was similar to that in Kunming, but it was very hot in Gasa. 7️⃣Communication: No mobile phone signal 8️⃣Supply: There is no supply throughout the whole process, but there is water. ⛰️Nearby hiking routes: Ailao Mountain Yanziya Waterfall 🚗Itinerary guide Day1: Go to Xinping Gasa Town or stay one night near the hiking point the night before hiking.

💚Location: Jinshan Primeval Forest is located in Gasa Town, Xinping Yi and Dai Autonomous County, Yuxi City. Transportation: You can take a plane or high-speed rail to Kunming or Yuxi, and then there are buses from Kunming and Yuxi to Gasa Town. How to get around: 1️⃣ If possible, you can drive by yourself or rent a car after arriving in Gasa. This is more convenient and you can enjoy the scenery along the way to Ailao Mountain. Several scenic spots are on the same route, but there are more mountain roads. 2️⃣If you don’t have a driver’s license, walk a few hundred meters uphill from the intersection of Gaga Youth Hostel in Gasa Town and there is a bus to Jinshan Primeval Forest. You will come to a canteen on the way and you need to change buses. The fare is 10 yuan. If you don’t understand, you can ask more and the locals will enthusiastically tell you how to take the bus. Attraction route: First stop: Nan'en Waterfall (10 minutes), second stop: Clan Manor (30 minutes), third stop: Shimen Gorge (2-3 hours, if you are lucky you can meet a group of monkeys), fourth stop : Jinshan Primeval Forest (about 1.5 hours), the fifth stop: the Ancient Tea Horse Road in Zhenyuan County, with a glass plank road. You will stay at the Sea of ​​Clouds Viewing Area at night, and you can go home after viewing the Sea of ​​Clouds the next morning. 💚Simple summary: If you can drive yourself or rent a car, don’t take the bus. The bus time is very inconvenient. There is a big temperature difference in the mountains, mainly due to strong winds, so bring windproof clothing. Accommodation is very cheap, and there are many hotels and B&Bs priced at 1-300 yuan during non-peak season. You must eat gourmet yellow beef. #金山PrimitiveForest #Ailaoshan #Ailaoshan Route

Grab your hiking buddy and go on an adventure! 📍 Detailed address: Check in at Ailao Mountain Scenic Area (3) - Jinshan Primitive Forest The third check-in spot in Ailao Mountain Scenic Area. There are few tourists here, and walking in the primitive forest makes you feel particularly relaxed. The trees here are lush, some of which are hundreds of years old. The trees grow in strange shapes, grow freely, block out the sun, and depend on each other. Each tree is covered with moss, like wearing a green fleece jacket, making it hard to see what the bark looks like. Many trees are hollow, but the canopy is still dense and lush. The trees are tenacious. This place is really primitive and is one of the must-visit spots in Ailao Mountain.
