Highlights
The amazing biodiversity of this remote valley makes it a unique vegetal kingdom of the Chinese medicinal tradition. The chilly air and the diverse landscape offer a perfect place to live in harmony with the nature. Spring water runs down the slopes. A long stone waterfall with rocky blocks over 2-3 square metre will provide us a challenge on the way to the top. Tiny paths over a lustful bamboo forest show us the route to the next village to enjoy refreshing break in a natural pool created by the river. The healthy food grown in the valley together with the friendliness and warm hospitality of its few inhabitants ensure a whole unique encounter with the local and authentic China.
