If you're in need of some outdoor excitement, make a day trip to Gulou Mountain. No walk around the block, this hike is perfect for a mid-vacation work out.
This steep landmass in Naxi District doesn't charge an entry fee — welcome news if you need a cheap day out! Keep yourself busy for a while at Gulou Mountain and then head on over to Mt. Sanhua Scenic Resort. It's conveniently nearby and is well worth seeing.
