"Cloud above the Snow Field": Compared with the nearby Blacksmith Mountain and Leli Peak, the outstanding feature of the Dojo Flat mountains is the flat terrain. Most of the fluctuations in this area of 800-1000 meters above sea level are within 100 meters; under the decoration of winter snow, it looks like a wave of white from a distance, which is quite spectacular. About "Yellow Flower Pass": During the Three Kingdoms period, this was the boundary between the Wu and Wei countries, and there was a "Yellow Flower Pass", so the ancient road to Dojo Flat was also called "Yellow Flower Pass Ancient Road", but the ancient city is now hard to find... 🚶Hiking itinerary: I have walked the "Skyline" before, this time I am walking the small loop of Dojo Flat itself, you can refer to the track 2105195.

Then the road conditions start to deteriorate significantly: Many bamboos have been crushed by the snow, and you need to force your way through and find the road, and there is also rotten mud under your feet. !Note: This section of the mud road covered by bamboo is the most exhausting part of the whole journey, it is strongly recommended to wear high-top shoes and hard shell! The bad road conditions continue until the fire prevention road at the Yellow Flower Pass col. At this time, the altitude is about 900 meters, which is a good lunch spot. This is also a three-way junction. If you go to Blacksmith Mountain, you will climb up from the col to the left, we turn right. Then it's up and down along the fire prevention road on the ridge line, after all, there is still about 200 meters of climbing waiting for us... This section is also the most essence part of the whole journey's snow scene! Then return to the reservoir and return the same way. Extension route: Dojo Flat is the end point of the "Skyline".
