Why are more and more people avoiding Mount Sabu recently?

After Mount Siguniang Dafeng and Haba Snow Mountain were closed, there are fewer and fewer snow mountains suitable for beginners. Mount Sabu has recently become a popular destination, but is it really a snow mountain for beginners? Is it really difficult? New Route of Mount Sabu🏔️ 1. The round trip is about 7 km, with an elevation gain of 800 m. The actual altitude is over 4,800 m (there is a 5,175 m sign for taking photos). It has snowed heavily recently! You can rest assured to go. 2. You need to take a car from the accommodation to the starting point of the hike, which takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes. The road conditions are not very good. 3. The starting point of the hike is about 3,600 m. It is relatively flat at the beginning, with a small slope. The difficult part is where the snow line begins, and the slope also begins to increase. Take my advice and choose the new route of Mount Sabu! Overall, it is indeed easier than Dafeng, suitable for beginners with a sports background to climb snow mountains. Be sure to prepare sufficient equipment! About Equipment🧳 Upper body: quick-drying clothes + fleece + down jacket + windbreaker (you can also bring a thick down jacket) Lower body: quick-drying pants + fleece pants + windproof pants Head: quick-drying hat, warm hat, magic scarf/mask, sunglasses/ski goggles Hands: warm down gloves + fleece gloves Feet: mid-high waterproof hiking shoes + warm thick socks (2 pairs of wool socks) + snow gaiters + crampons Dry food: bring 1–2 meals (energy bars, chocolate, Snickers, bread, Coke, and other portable food) Backpack: 20–30 L, bring essential dry food and water when climbing to the top Daily necessities: raincoat, thermos, sunscreen ‼️Practical Advice: 1. Important! The outer windbreaker must be waterproof and windproof! This is really important. 2. Stop aerobic exercise half a month before departure, and consult a doctor one month in advance to take Rhodiola according to your physical condition. 3. Do not travel alone. Travel with your teammates (encourage each other), find a professional club, and find a professional guide! Don't force yourself if you feel uncomfortable! Don't joke about life safety.
