On the first day of the hiking, you will visit Ice Lake at an altitude of 3,800 m (12,000 ft). Starting from Yubeng Village, you will hike through dense primordial forest to Xiaonong Base Camp. It is a tourist destination characterized by natural beauty and outdoor adventure. The place got its name from a documentary of the same name and is known for its pristine natural landscape and rich ecological resources.
Have a rest in the base camp and then continue hiking for another 1½ hours to Ice Lake. Ice Lake gets its name from the fact that the lake's water is shaped like a huge block of ice, and the lake's water is crystal clear, reflecting the reflections of the surrounding mountain peaks, which is breathtakingly beautiful. Return by the same path to Yubeng. The hiking distance on this day is about 16 km (10 miles) with an ascent of 900 m (3,000 ft).
