The most popular way to get out is to walk from lower Yubeng to Ninong (4-6 hours), where there is a road, and catch a minivan to Deqin (150-200RMB per car). To reach the starting point of the trail, go through lower Yubeng and turn left at the stupa. After a few minutes, you'll cross a bridge and start walking along the right bank of the Yubeng river, mostly downhill. The trail stays mostly on the right bank, crossing over to the left bank only a little before the river joins the muddy Lang Cang (Mekong) river (some guides claim this is the fourth bridge, not counting the one immediately after the village). There are two tea shops along the way where there are bathrooms, both on the right bank. After crossing to the left bank, the trail is narrow and goes along a water canal which delivers drinking water to Ninong. After the trail curves left, you can see the village and the road on the other side of the river.
There is a public bus from Xidang back to Deqin every morning at 8. Hiring a car is around 150 from Xidang.
