Your main luggage will be transported by pack horses to Base Camp — you'll carry only a light daypack with essentials. 09:00 AM — Enter Haizigou Valley at the Outdoor Management Center (permits processed). Begin the 13km trek through alpine meadows and forests. 12:00 PM — Reach Dajiabao Protection Station (~3,700m).

Horse rental is available for those who need to conserve energy for summit day (advance booking recommended). 17:00 PM — Arrive at Dafeng Base Camp (4,300m). Settle into the communal tent or your own camping setup. Hot camp dinner and boiled water provided. Evening: Focus on high-altitude acclimatization. Take a short walk around camp, take photos, and get to bed early — tomorrow starts at 3:00 AM!
