The various hotels: The various hotels
bhemak Says: Most of the hotel in the valley (in Fugong, Gongshan, or Bingzhongluo) were average. Not real clean, not great bathrooms, okay staff. The places seem to come and go quickly.

Helpfulness
The market town moves day to day up and down the valley. If you stay in one place long enough it will come to you otherwise you probably need to ask where it is when.
It mostly normal products (food, clothes), but some minority goods. The main interest is seeing tons of people in various traditional dress.

Helpfulness
The roads are entertaining in their problematicness. Pictured is part of the main road. There is currently a stream running through it. Parts of the road are washed out. Parts have land slides on them. Where the road is intact there is often goats, horses, cattle, dogs, or people in the way.
Hope you have a good bus driver.

This is the only real site of the area. It is between Gongshan and Bingzhongluo, near Bingzhongluo. The bus you are on may stop, otherwise ask, they may stop for a bit to take a picture.
Strangely a few miles down is another bend, which apparently isn't a real bend or it would be the first bend.

From Bingzhongluo it is possible to hire a truck to take you to or just across the boarder to Tibet. It is a beautiful drive through a canyon and past some other villages.
There is no real boarder. It was an old women under a tarp waving at us. No passport check, no fees, no big deal. The only trick is if the road is open. Often landslides close the road at some point.
The road to Tibet is the one two the other two villages near by. The road starts in the middle of Bingzhongluo, on the right side as you enter town. It is all dirt.

You can just go off hiking from any town or village in the valley. I walked around Fugong out to the west on a dirt trail. The scenery is great. There are farmers and villagers out along the trails who speak little madarin, or english, but are still friendly.
Just wander off somewhere. A trail leads somewhere for a reason. Something will be out there. If you plan to walk a while bring some food and dress in layers, blah, blah. It is pretty remote, be prepared.

Gongshan is the main city at the end of the valley. It is roughly four hours from Fugong (mid-valley), nine hours to Liuku (the exit city of the valley), and two hours north is Bingzhongluo and the......
Located in the Northwest of Yunnan, Nujiang Canyon has long been obscure to travellers.
