We boarded the bus on time at 7:30 and set off. Along the way, under the guidance of the staff, the team members introduced themselves to each other, interacted with the group, laughed and talked all the way, and unknowingly approached the destination
Around 11:30, we will arrive at a farmer's house by the reservoir for lunch. After lunch, we can walk on the dam and enjoy the boundless lake scenery.
At around 13:00, we arrived at [Lin'an Hengdu Village] and saw two golden ginkgo trees waiting for us at the intersection from afar.
Enter the entrance to the Linchuan Ancient Trail. Get off the bus, cross the bridge, and the Dongtiao River flows gently beneath your feet. As you ascend, golden ginkgo leaves, fiery red sweetgum leaves, and giant Torreya grandis trees sway in the breeze beside the mountain trail, as if offering a warm welcome.
Along the way, you'll pass by volcanic lava flow slopes, a spectacular and unique geological landscape. Further up, you'll pass the simple mountain village of Tangding.
Around 2:00 PM, we arrived at Zhinan Village and had an hour of free time. Zhinan Village is small, with a lake and huge, fiery red maple trees surrounding it. A few old houses remain, and walking through the corners and alleys, you'll be pleasantly surprised to stumble upon a cluster of autumn chrysanthemums in full bloom. We'll then continue our journey down the mountain path.
The rice paddies in the guide village have been harvested from November 30th to December 1st, but the other autumn colors remain the same this week. Hiking will continue as usual. Please report any concerns.
Around 16:00, we will meet up with the bus and drive to Lin'an City to arrange accommodation. In the evening, we will be free to explore the city for delicious food.

All day

Arriving at Yangjia Village around 9:30 AM, we were struck by the captivating scenery along the road, dotted with red mangroves and autumn blossoms. From afar, we spotted a vast ginkgo forest, a village shrouded in golden light. We excitedly disembarked, taking photos as we walked. The scenery was captivating, and the people were even more captivating! We wandered freely through the village, snapping countless photos until the ground was already covered in golden armor.
Pick up a ginkgo leaf, pick up a past memory...
Around 12:30, we had lunch at Yangjia Village. It was time to wake everyone up from their intoxicated world and take the bus back to Shanghai, where we were getting further and further away from this golden world in endless contemplation.
Around 13:30, we assembled and returned to Shanghai;
We arrived at the departure point in Shanghai around 18:00. Everyone was still reluctant to leave and said goodbye with tears in their eyes!!!
