Other Treks

Trek 3: To E-er Village
Walking time: 3.5 hours
Access: Walk along the veicular road in Gongtan to the bridge over A-Peng Jiang. When the road quits Wu Jiang, turns to the left, you find the trailhead on your right, a wide footpath stretching parallel with Wu Jiang along a sheer slope.
Description: In several minutes, you will pass through three houses. In the next half an hour, you can always enjoy a marvelous view of Wu Jiang Gorge. The trail goes up after crossing a beautiful stone bridge. You can reach E-er village in 2 hours.

Trek 4: Around Qingquan
Walking time: 3 hours
Access: see Qingquan
In Qingquan, take the ferry near the big millstone. You can climb up to Sanguping Village in 50 minutes. To do the circuit, take the trail along the west river bank, you can reach Shipeitou in 30 minutes and Liyuchi in an hour. In Liyuchi, take the ferry back to the east bank of Wu Jiang and walk back to Qingquan.

Trek 5: To Tutuo Village
Access: By boat.
It takes one hour to climb from the wharf to Tutuo village. It doesn't convenient to visit this village as the boat stop at the wharf below Tutuo only once a day. It might exist a trail between Tutuo and Liyuchi. If yes, you can walk from Tutuo to Liyuchi, cross the river to Xuishui and walk to Qingquan.

I didn't trek these routes. Information was collected from local farmers. If there is any mistake, please kindly tell us.
