Itinerary description
Note: due to mapping apps restrictions in China, the GPS trail and the physical trail are misaligned. You can see this easily by looking at the GPS trail shape and then looking at the satellite map, where the trail is quite visible.
This is the first portion of the classic Tiger Leaping Gorge trail, going from Naxi guesthouse to Half Way guesthouse. The very first portion is a steep climb on rocky steps known as 28 Bends. Afterwards the trail starts descending towards Tea Horse guesthouse, where food and drinks are available, and then it continues mostly flat until right before Half Way, when a last moderate climb is required before arriving at the final destination.
On the way, we passed a couple of nice waterfalls (one of which is accessible) and several herds of goats. The views of the Gorge are always stunning, but more so after Tea Horse guesthouse.
