Tourmaline & infrared Sauna Benefits:

The sauna experience - clear your mind and body,  melt away tensions and extra pounds.

Tourmaline heaters in sauna room emit 5.615VM healthy far infared ray and healthy ion which can be obsorbed effectively by human body, meanwhile, through sweating which can help people burn up calories, improve toxin, smoothen skin color, relieve pain, increase immunity, prevent disease, and anti-aging, sauna room is necessary for family health.

A sauna is a peaceful refuge from the stress of daily living - a soothing, dry heat environment that relaxes and refreshes, to leave you feeling healthy. When you take a sauna, the heat pumps up blood circulation near the skin and stimulates sweating. It helps the body rid itself of toxins and mineral wastes, improve immune system, relax muscles, increase flexibility, and relieve pain. In a sauna, you'll burn hundreds of calories without hours on the exercise bike or treadmill. Saunas deep cleanse the skin.

Infrared Sauna: Using less energy, operating at low temperature and warming up in minutes, Infrared Sauna is fairly new but rapidly gaining popularity.

What is infrared? Infrared is the band of light we perceive as heat. We cannot see this band of light with the naked eye, but we can feel this type of light in the form of heat. Our sun produces most of its energy output in the infrared segment of the spectrum. Infrared rays heat your body without having to heat the air in-between, through a process called conversion.

The infrared is divided into 3 segments by wavelengths, measured in microns: 1.5~5.6 microns - middle infrared

Among these segments, only far infrared penetrates organic substances such as the human body two to three inches so that the warming effect is very uniform. SaunaCare Sauna's far infrared heaters radiate this far infrared to safely and effectively warm your body.

How does it benefit us? Because infrared rays penetrate the body over 1-1/2 inches throughout conversion, there is a deep heating effect in the muscle tissues and internal organs without giving too much burden to our heart.

 BASICS:

Take some water with you but you can also buy it at little stalls all along the way. 

As for weather - wear trousers even if it's warm (some of the path is a little over grown), take a hat, sunscreen, and some wet weather gear.  You will need hiking boots - don't even consider doing this trek in anything less.  The guest house supplied soap and towels plus some basic bedding which means you can keep your pack fairly light.

You can catch a taxi from Lijiang to Qiaotou which cost about AUD70.00.  Significantly more expensive than the bus but is very convenient.  Catching the taxi also means an earlier start which ensures no dramas with accommodation.  You will have the path to yourself and a couple of hours to relax and have a beer or three before heading to bed for an early night.

STARTING FROM DAJU

Buses leave for Daju at 8.30am and 1.30pm from Lijiang. At the moment, Lijiang to Daju or Daju to Lijiang both way, when you pass the Lijiang tourist sightseeing spot, you have to pay the entrance fee of 120RMB and "protect the old town" fee of 80RMB. When you enter into the gorge, you have to pay another gorge entrance fee of 50RMB. The 3 hour ride costs 30RMB. Therefore, most travellers opt for the Lijiang-Qiaotou route and hike up to Walnut Garden and then continue their trip to Dali or Shangri-La. There are two guesthouses in Daju if you want to stay the night: Tiger Leaping Gorge Hotel and Snowflake Guesthouse. The walk to the old ferry is very picturesque and should not be missed. The ferry is more reliable and the climb up the opposite bank less steep and much safer. After crossing the river from the old ferry, the path continues through the fields and houses of the local Naxi people before joining up to the road to Walnut Garden. There is link map you can copy  it too. There is a ticket office just before the Walnut Garden. Two minutes walk beyond Ticket office is Sean's Spring Guesthouse. It is a 20 minute walk from Walnut Garden to the start of the high trail. Bicycles can be hired at Sean's if you want to cycle to Qiaotou.
