Yaojiaping
姚家坪
A mid-mountain forest zone on the eastern slope of Gaoligong Mountain at about 2,460 meters, with a national trail section and a biodiversity education center.
Yaojiaping lies along the Liuku–Pianma Road at about 2,460 meters on the eastern slope of Gaoligong Mountain. Dense primeval broadleaf forest and rhododendron woods cover the area. It has a section of the Gaoligong National Trail, a biodiversity education center and a wildlife rescue center, making it well suited to short forest hikes and nature learning. Rhododendrons bloom in spring, and clouds often drift through. It is about 50 minutes by car from Sanhe Village and makes a good rest stop before crossing Fengxue Pass. Mountain weather changes quickly, so bring rain gear and warm clothing.
