A must do if you have alpine hiking experience. Any videos you see are likely pre lockdown. The chains have gone, steps and support walls are crumbling and formed paths have disappeared. Without high throughput this path is no more. You must have decent boots, poles and water. Don’t be surprised to find yourself rock climbing.

Great video, thanks guys. Just wondering what month did you go there? We are to hike this weekend, 15 January. Thanks in advance🙏

[@locavore_eats]

Thank you!! We went late December 2021 so not too far from when you guys are doing it in the year. Hope the weather is good for you guys!

[@Juizhaigou]

When was the hike? How long did you take? Thanks.

[@locavore_eats]

We did the hike around Christmas and it took us 9ish hours 😊
