The Dulongjiang trek is an extraordinary trekking in the more remote part of the Yunnan province in China.
The valley of the Dulong River is close to the borders of Burma and Tibet, sandwiched between two North-South mountain ranges and home to the ethnic minorities of Dulong(Drung), Nu, Lisu.
It is already a bit of a hassle to reach Gongshan from Dali, Kunming, Liuku or Baoshan.
