⛰ Haba West Slope, Unlock a God's-Eye View! 🌿 See Haba from a new angle, unlock the panoramic view! > Haba, the sacred peak known as "the first 5,000-meter mountain in one's life," has always attracted countless climbers. However, as Su Shi said: "You cannot recognize the true face of Mount Lu, just because you are in the mountains." ☘️> Even if you've already summited Haba, this route is still worth exploring to experience nature's magnificent craftsmanship. 🚶‍♂️**Personally tested recommendation: Three visits, each with surprises! > Hikeable year-round except in extreme weather. From personal experience, the best seasons are May-June and late October. Other times may be affected by strong winds, severe cold, or leeches during rainy season, which can diminish the hiking experience. 💫**Five-day itinerary: Unlock the hidden beauty of Haba's west slope > **DAY 1: Assembly day** > > From anywhere in China—arrive in Lijiang, check in to your accommodation, rest and prepare for the upcoming hiking journey. > > **DAY 2: Lijiang—Tiger Leaping Gorge Town—Haibaluo Village > > Depart from Lijiang to Tiger Leaping Gorge Town to experience the majestic gorge, then proceed to Haibaluo Village, the starting point of the hike. > > **DAY 3: Haibaluo—Trailhead—Twin Lakes Camp > > Set off from Haibaluo Village to officially begin the hiking journey toward Twin Lakes Camp, enjoying beautiful natural scenery along the way. > > **DAY 4: Twin Lakes Camp—Twin Lakes Pass—Couple's Sea Pass—Black Sea Pass—Black Sea Camp > > The highlight of the trek, crossing multiple mountain passes while enjoying spectacular snow mountain views before reaching Black Sea Camp. > > **DAY 5: Black Sea Camp—Long Lake—Chicken Toe Pass—Haibaluo Village—Lijiang > > On the final day, depart from Black Sea Camp, pass through Long Lake and Chicken Toe Pass, return to Haibaluo Village, and then back to Lijiang, concluding the enjoyable hiking journey. 👚**Equipment suggestions: High-altitude hiking, safety first! > This is a high-altitude hiking route requiring camping, so thorough preparation is essential.
