Arrive at a Lin'an farmhouse for lunch, at your own expense. (During peak tourist season or holidays, a free lunch will be arranged at the service area. The bus does not go up the mountain, so please do not bring a suitcase and carry your luggage up and down the mountain on your own.)
1:30 PM
After a short break after the meal, we walked through the ancient village of Zhechuan and purchased tickets at the Lin'an entrance of the Huihang Ancient Road (adult prices include tickets, while children's prices do not include tickets. If you need to pay for tickets, you need to pay on site). We officially set off on the ancient road, which winds along the mountains and valleys. The scenery along the way changes with the seasons and has its own unique features.
5:00 PM
Arriving at Lantianao, the highest point and pass of the Huihang Ancient Road, the cliffs are thousands of feet high, the distant views are distinct and the scenery is amazing! You must take a lot of photos here, and then start the descent to our accommodation.
After dinner, everyone is free to rest.
Day 2 Huihang Ancient Road → First Pass in Jiangnan → Longchuan → Suzhou
08:00
After breakfast, we will gather and continue our journey. The Huihang Ancient Road is not only a hiking route, but also a cultural ancient road full of magic and spirituality; it is a historical ancient road that records the rise and fall of the Huizhou merchants.
We used the reverse wearing method (reverse wearing is more labor-saving than wearing it forward) to appreciate the charm of "China's First Ancient Road".
The scenery along the Huihang Ancient Road is breathtaking, with peculiar peaks and rocks, deep canyons, and a sense of ancient charm. The cool plank road along Xiaoyao Valley is a must-see, offering stunning views and a unique canyon atmosphere rarely seen in East China.
11:00
After arriving at the first checkpoint in the south of the Yangtze River and passing through the checkpoint, you will arrive in Jixi, Anhui. The Huihang Ancient Road will be completed. After walking out of the ancient road, you will gather and get on the bus.
12:30
We boarded the bus and drove to a farmhouse in Longchuan Village on the way back. Longchuan is an ancient Huizhou village in Jixi County, a nationally renowned historical and cultural city. We had lunch at a nearby farmhouse and rested briefly before returning.
7:00 PM
Back to Suzhou. Everyone was reluctant to leave and kissed goodbye with tears in their eyes!
