Golden Spear Peak is a popular natural attraction in Shaoxing, known for its distinctive rock formations and historical significance. The peak has been a site for various cultural and religious activities, with many temples and pavilions situated around it.
Golden Spear Peak is located in the outskirts of Shaoxing, Zhejiang. You can reach it by taking a taxi or public bus from Shaoxing city center. Walking or hiking up the trails is an option if you're already nearby.
The peak is accessible year-round, but the best time to visit is during spring or autumn, when the weather is mild and the landscape is most beautiful. It is open daily from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
The entrance fee typically ranges from 30 to 50 CNY, depending on the season. Tickets can be purchased onsite or via local ticket platforms online.
Booking tickets in advance is generally not required unless you're visiting during peak tourist seasons. However, it is advisable to book a few days ahead if you plan to visit during holidays or festivals.
It usually takes about 2 to 3 hours to hike up to the peak and explore the surrounding areas, depending on your pace. If you're just visiting the base and enjoying the view, you may spend 1-2 hours.
Guided tours are available in Mandarin. English-speaking guides may be limited, so it's best to check availability in advance.

Night visits are generally not available, but special events or festivals may be held at certain times. It’s best to check for any special tours or light shows before visiting.
The peak can get crowded during weekends and holidays. To avoid the crowds, it’s best to visit during weekdays, especially early in the morning or later in the afternoon.
Some parts of the hiking trail may be challenging for elderly, children, or disabled visitors due to uneven terrain. However, there are paved areas and rest spots at the base and lower trails that are more accessible.

There are a few local restaurants near the entrance that serve regional dishes, including Shaoxing rice wine and other local specialties. Some smaller cafes offer snacks and beverages along the hiking routes.
