1. The complete hike of Xiling Gorge starts from Nanjin Pass and requires taking bus No. 10 (to Sanyoudong) from Yiling Square to Nanjin Pass, at a cost of 1 yuan per person. The symbol of Nanjin Pass is a mountain by the river with two pavilions and a cableway. But Nanjin Pass is on the north bank, and the section to Shipai is a road with no hiking value. When you reach the bridge in Liantuo Village, you need to find a boat to cross the river to Nantuo Village. This section of road has two bridges and three tunnels. You can also walk along the north bank all the way, taking the highway.
2. The distance from Nantuo Village to Sandaoping Town is only about 7 kilometers, approximately one to one and a half hours. Sandaoping has good accommodation conditions, but if you are traveling the next day, it is recommended to take a ride to stay in Maoping New County. Of course, Nantuo Village can also accommodate farmers, just feel free to ask.
3. The road from Sandaoping to Maoping New County is a repaired road that passes through the Three Gorges Dam, but requires a detour. The dam cannot be easily approached. Maoping New City is very clean and tidy. Meals and accommodations are relatively cheap, and accommodations are everywhere. Prices can be negotiated, and you can choose slowly when you have time.
4. It is recommended to plan the travel time from Shipai Village to Nantuo Village to 5-6 hours.
5. It is about 30 kilometers from Maoping New County to Jujifang, and then you need to take a boat to Xiangxi at Xintan Pier. This section is entirely a highway with N tunnels, which is quite difficult and has little hiking value.
Road conditions: The road from Shipai Village to Dangyangtou Second Group Production Team is easy to walk, with beautiful scenery along the way. Starting from climbing the mountain in Dangyangtou Group 2, the road conditions are not very good, and if it is rainy, it is extremely muddy. A 40 minute boardwalk is not too dangerous, but be careful not to get caught up in weeds and thorns. From Nantuo to Sandaoping is a dirt road, where there may be cars during the day and only motorcycles at night. It's okay to walk there, then find a place to go to Maoping New County, about 20 yuan is enough.
