Despair Slope

　　--This is the mandatory route when trekking from Golden Summit to Yangshimo or Mingyue Mountain, featuring rugged terrain and dramatic elevation changes.

　　--At its steepest point, the slope approaches 70 degrees, yet hikers must navigate an unimproved dirt and rock path, crawling slowly with hands and feet.

　　--The combination of length and steepness makes this stretch truly disheartening. But the surrounding scenery is extraordinarily unique and picturesque. Due to the high altitude, clouds and mist often shroud the mountains, creating a fairy-tale atmosphere.
