First thing make sure you get a good driver as it is not a good road lots of landslides and mountainous so choose well, this will depend on what the weather conditions are like, rain is bad. we went through a few drivers before we settled for one which was a fair choice. You will most likely be leaving from Shangri la (zhongdian) very early in the morning as the monkeys only come down to feed in the morning. A trip to this area is not complete without seeing these very rare Monkeys. The monkeys come so close with in 2-3 mts away which blew us away, If you can, go and see these animals. We missed going to see them the first time in Yunnan but not the second.

I have quite a severe fear of heights but I also enjoy a nice hike and good views so I did not want to miss out on this one. For me, there were two critical areas on the hike. The first one was at the very top of the 28 bends where there is an exposed rocky turn that gave me extreme vertigo so that I had to go on all fours. The second bit was the stretch of the trek shortly after Halfway Guesthouse going towards Tina's where the path becomes very rocky and narrow plus you share it with a pipe. This is also where the infamous waterfall crosses the path. I had to do this bit extremely slowly holding my partner's hand and looking at the path, nowhere else. The pictures my partner took here still give me vertigo. Overall I did it and I am glad I went but I would not be able to do it again knowing exactly what it is like now. Anyone that is worried about the heights might consider just hiking to Halfway Guesthouse and arranging alternative transport from there. A few final thoughts: - I am of moderate fitness and did not find it too strenuous overall. - We stopped at Naxi Guesthouse which was a great way of doing it as the guesthouse is the best in the gorge and you start the next day well rested to tackle the 28 bends. The ascent to Naxi Guesthouse is already exhausting! You are also ahead of anyone arriving by bus that day and have the path to yourself. - Second day we went from Naxi Guesthouse to Tibet Guesthouse with lunch at Halfway. Long day but doable. - Yes the bridge construction is visible at the start of the trail but it didn't bother us. You face the other way anyway and once completed this will be an amazing train ride. - Ignore the people complaining about roads and electricity lines, the whole area is still incredibly scenic and who are we to deny the local people a more comfortable lifestyle? - We went in mid November and it was perfect. Sun and blue skies every day, not too cold at night and barely any people on the trail. - Walnut Grove at the end of the trek is lovely and we ended up staying two nights at Tibet Guesthouse to relax and soak up the peaceful atmosphere. - Our bags were stored at Jane's, we are unsure if this place still functions as anything other than bag storage. We were going to have lunch there before starting the trek but they didn't do food. It looked very run down. - We arrived at the start of the trek by private driver from Lijiang, after dropping of our bags he drove us to the start of the path. This is recommended unless you want to walk up a dusty road. - We took a bus from Tina's to Shangri La, departs 3.30pm and costs 55RMB per person. It makes a ten minute stop at Jane's for people to collect their bags.

Potatso National Park is the first national park in China. It is located in the centre of Three Parllel Rivers, and is the World Natural Heritage. It is about 22 km from the Shangri-La County. It is a beautiful park surrounded with coniferous forests. Our walk took 3-4 hour slow and cool walk (in early Nov 2019) along the nice wooden-planked walkway from the starting to the endpoint. In the middle of the park, Shudu Lake, with its blue water under the clear blue sky, is a beauty of Mother's Nature. The reflection of the white clouds onto the blue water is an amazing beauty of its own. Chipmunks and small adorable birds contributed to the joy of our walk from the start to the endpoint. If walking is not a problem, walk and soak into the park's natural beauty is a better choice than taking a boat across the lake to cut down walking time.
