Ping Ge's professional and humorous tour guide, the driver's experienced driving skills, and the spacious and clean guesthouse all left a deep impression on us. This trip offered breathtaking mountain scenery, a deeper understanding of this secluded tribal village, and delicious millet donuts and fragrant wild boar sausages. The alpine vegetables for lunch and dinner were incredibly fresh and delicious. Even more fortunately, while it was raining on the plains, the weather was perfect when we arrived in Smangus – cool and sunny, ideal for hiking the Giant Tree Trail. The round trip is about 10 kilometers and definitely requires some stamina. Although it's an intermediate to beginner trail, trekking poles made it much easier. We were extremely satisfied with the itinerary! 👍
Although the journey was long, the vehicle was very comfortable, and I didn't get carsick at all. Our guide, Agan, was warm and cheerful; he took great care of everyone in the group and even took many photos for us! 👍 The cherry blossoms were in full bloom, turning the mountains a vibrant pink—truly worth seeing and unforgettable. There were also bamboo forests along the way, just like in Arashiyama, Kyoto. There's a short stretch of muddy path along the way, so I recommend wearing non-slip shoes.
