Around 05:30, all members disembark and participate in a warm-up exercise with your team leader. Once ready, begin the hike.
Around 08:00, we ascend to the summit of Xianren Peak, gazing at the summit of Longwang Mountain. We continue along the winding mountain trail

we'll depart, passing Qianmu Peak and arriving at the forest ranger station, where we'll briefly assemble .

Day 3 Dongguan Village → Daxianding → Suzhou
All day
We got up at 05:00, had a hot breakfast at the farm, put our luggage on the bus
and continued to travel light at 05:30. We headed to the starting
point of the hike at 06:00. After a group warm-up, we started to climb the mountain, using our hands and feet to climb up along the trail to Yangtianping.
Around 8:30 AM, we arrived at Xianren Terrace. After a brief rest, we descended along the trail, then continued our ascent about half an hour later (you might hear some crying here…).
Around 10:00 AM, we reached Daxian Peak, East Tianmu Peak. From there, we gazed at West Tianmu Peak, overlooking the path we'd walked yesterday, and we couldn't help but cheer.
We descended at 10:30 AM. After about an hour and a half, we arrived at Zhaoming Temple, where we could go inside and experience the scenery. Tourists can bring out their dry food for lunch. At
12:00 PM, the group assembled and ran towards the foot of the mountain along the trail, through the scenic area, and across the stream (don't run if the downhill slope is slippery…).
We arrived at the foot of the mountain around 2:00 PM and boarded the bus back to Suzhou. The tourists could have a good time to debrief on the bus.
Around 7:00 PM, we arrived at the Suzhou departure point. We kissed goodbye with tears and promised to meet again for our next non-torturing trip.
