High-Alpine Valley Pool

One of the big peaks / hills in the area. Some great views from the top! We have a few route options. You can drive, cycle or run to the base of the hill (20km from the homestay) and then walk around. Best to bring a picnic and enjoy the area.

The Ultra run from the homestay

You could try the whole thing or you could try the route from the Homestay to Guchuanjian via the peak and we could pick you up around km25. Part concrete lanes and part off road, make sure you have a GPS device, hydration pack, light, raincoat and backup battery.

Warnings

Please do not hike by yourself! Always hike in a group of three or more. If one person is injured, then another person can support that person, and another can seek help. Bring lots of drinking water. Always have a rain jacket and a light with you! Do not assume there is mobile coverage. Never go into a pool or river by yourself. Wet rocks are very very slippery. Do not enter the water if you cannot swim. Do not jump into pools as you have no idea how deep they are. Never leave someone unattended, even for a short period. Never drink alcohol while hiking or dipping!!! Follow the local government regulations. You hike and enter water at your own risk! Remove 100% of your waste and rubbish! Do not pee in the water. Be responsible & mindful!
