Itinerary description
A Beautiful trail through the forest, waterfalls, and cliffs.
The trail is in good shape, but check out with the park authorities, it may be closed due to rains or rockfalls. A PERMIT IS REQUIRED.
There are many places that you need to climb on a rope or chain, not easy.
The hot springs are amazing! But you are not supposed to get there, beware: the stairs are slippery and in bad shape; also rockfalls may happen.
The last part of the trail is to get to Tianxiang, where the bus stops, is on the road.
It's about 4-5 hours trek, watch out not to miss the last bus.

On 22-1-2020 a permit was NOT required. There is a sign in the beginning of the trail that says the trail is closed after 2km but that is for the other trail starting in Lushui. We (family with 2 kids, age 9 and 4) found the trail adventures but not hard. Wenshan hot spring is accessible but not an easy way down . We hitched back to the bus station and recommend you do the same (unless you are fond of walking on a highway :)
I'm glad you gad a good time.
