Itinerary description

It took me 7 hours to walk from Shaxi to Baoxiang temple. And then 1 hour to walk up and down to the top of Baoxiang temple.... So 8 hours on the first day.
At the beginning, the track cross Shaxi valley. Then there are many stairs until Shizong temple, it is quite difficult. After that, the path goea through the forest until Shilong village. You have to walk on the road for the last 3km to Baoxiang.
Overnight stay possible in Baoxiang temple (very low hygiene). They charged me 50 for the dinner and the room. There were no monks. Only workers fixing the temple.
On the second day, I took the shortest way and it took me only 3 hours to go down to Shaxi.
You also get free wifi in several places along the way.
It was a nice hike but not amazing.
What I liked the most was going up to Shizong temple and Shizong temple in itself.
