Vespa Hornet sightings have been reported by fellow hikers along the Songmao Forest Trail, between 0.5K-0.6K and at the 1.2K mark.
The Xuejian Trail Cabin inspection team has confirmed a nest of Vespa mandarinia (Asian Giant Hornet) near the 0.5K point on the trail. Please refer to the attached photo for the exact location.
Hikers are advised to pass with caution, especially after reaching the 0.4K mark. Use the trail on the right-hand side when going uphill (and the left side when descending). If you encounter hornets, remain calm and pass through quickly without stopping.
