Luggage and bags: Travel light as you need to hike. Small backpack for day use. A cap.
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: comfortable sneakers or sandals - good grip.
a light overcoat or jacket or a shawl - nights could be cold
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: normally those lodges up the hill do not provide toiletries or towels... bring your own. A sunblock would be useful if the heat is on. They do provide toilet rolls though.
Photo Equipment: of course...lots of memory card and heavily charged batteries

Miscellaneous: Bring a compass if you want to do it the same way as we did. The 3 scenic sites on Da Zhai are "north" - so a good compass will help guide the way =)
