There are two pools by Banyuan village, a km or so north of us. There are two options of getting there and back. A easy flat walk or a more hilly option.
Banyuan Easy
A easy flat walk, ride or run to the Banyuan pools. Walk out of our village, cross over the bridge, take a left and follow the river up for about 1km. Then take another left over the Banyuan bridge (at the security cameras) and follow the path to the pools. Retrace your tracks back. If your cycling leave your bike on the Banyuan bridge and walk up to the pools.
Banyuan Via Santang
The same destination but more of a hike. Walk up towards Santang and take a left. Then a hard hike up for 20 minutes and then you are on a lovely flatfish 1km mountain trail down to the Banyuan pools.
A nice flat walk along the river up to Banyuan. Relax in the pool, then walk back and hike over the hill and have a dip in the stream house pool.
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!
