The first time I heard that Hongyanding was a few months ago, it is a viewing platform similar to Niubei Mountain, but only 180 degrees, and you can see the Gongga peaks. The better place than Niubei Mountain is that there are fewer hikes. Gongga was near. There was not much information at the time, and I thought it was difficult, so I didn’t pay much attention. A few days ago in an outdoor group, I accidentally heard a fellow traveler talk about Hongyanding, so I chatted with him a few more words. It turns out that after passing the Erlang Mountain Tunnel, the road conditions along the old 318 to the starting point of the hike are very good, and the walking distance is not long, it looks like 4KM, and the altitude has increased by 600M. So I decided to travel on the weekend, and I found the innkeeper on the top of the mountain to contact The way I booked accommodation, 100/person includes board and lodging. There are also 150/person. I don’t know if the conditions will be better. It is said that the inn is actually a big tent or a yurt, with more than 20 people per room. People who are going to go in the future It is better to bring your own tent.

Depart from Chengdu at 9 o'clock on Saturday morning, walk along Chengwenqiong-Qongming-Chengya, and then go to G318 all the way to Tianquan for lunch, and then continue walking. Passed the Erlang Mountain tunnel at half past one, and then drive a few more forwards Minutes, you can see an old road on the right side of the road. This is the old 318 National Road that crossed the mountain before the Erlang Mountain Tunnel was opened to traffic. It is also the road we are going to take. The road conditions are not particularly good, but there are cars going up. The scenery on this road is also Yes, there are rhododendrons in this season, and red leaves should be seen in autumn.

Walk along the old national road, stop and shoot for about 20 minutes, and you will reach the starting point of the hike.There is a parking lot for locals, 50 times.

Opposite the parking lot is the starting point of the hike. The first section of the climb was relatively large, a bit tired, and then slowly eased, the weather is not bad, the blue sky and white clouds, there are azaleas on the side of the road, and the mood is very good. When approaching the top of the mountain It's foggy, and the fog gets bigger as it goes away, and the mood becomes worse. Will the weather be sunny tomorrow?

It took two hours to hike 4KM to the top of the mountain. I found the large tent where I lived. There were already some people inside, all of whom came with the outdoor team. Find a place to put your own things away, and change into dry clothes and shoes. Dinner is on the other side In a tent, the food is poor, so you will barely get hungry. It is recommended that you are brought to the tent to eat in the future. Even if you live in a full shop, please remember to bring a sleeping bag.

After eating and having nothing to do, I got into my sleeping bag very early, a little bit rebellious, I woke up all night, I only heard the rain that rained all night, and my mood became even heavier. I guess I can’t see the sun this time. Out of the snow mountain.

Sure enough, when I got up in the morning, the top of the mountain was full of fog and scattered raindrops. After breakfast, I went down. Because it was raining, it was all muddy along the way. I heard the screams of wrestling from time to time. It was easier to get down, but all the way It took almost two hours to stop and take pictures. I cleaned up in the parking lot and returned to Chengdu on the same road.
