Hi Sean,
Great photos! Can you kindly inform us where's the market you hang out in Menglian?

Many thanks

@seraineli. I traveled with Hu Lisan, an ethnic Nu driver and trekking guide in Laomudeng area, his phone number: 13308860690, and his WeChat: vnixn001

Hi Bill, I think the Cizhong-Dimaluo Trail is only second to Tiger Leaping Gorge Trail in terms of reputation. As Mt. Biluo is neither a Nature Reserve nor tourist attraction, it has been a favourite haunt of hikers all of the world, so I don't put too much hope on the local Adventure Trekking Clubs engaging in this effort.

Hi Kaiwen, still recall both Shiloh and Xiaolu were playing in your courtyard in the winter of 2012. I miss them very much, how old is Shilon?

Did the author talk to Lisu People in Xiangguqing, or just accepted inputs of TNC or National Park? How much ticket fee goes to community? How much loss of locals as a result of aforestation in the name of protecting the habits of monkeys？I bet most locals would say"Except loss, We got nothing from the monkey park"
