Day 1 Shanghai → Hangzhou → Shanghai
All day
Meet and sign in at the bottom of Mingshen Center Building at 7:00 on time.
We got on the bus and set off on time at 7:30. Led by the team leader, the team members introduced themselves to each other, the team leader performed, and the group interacted with each other. There was laughter and joy all the way, and before we knew it, we were approaching our destination.
Around 10:30, we arrived at Jiuxi on the bank of Qiantang River in Hangzhou. We stretched out and set off. We went up from Jiuxi Village, crossed Xizhongxi, walked and stopped along the way, played in the water and took photos. This is the wild Jiuxi Shibajian. Unknowingly, we arrived at Longjing Village, which is the birthplace of the most famous West Lake Longjing tea.
At noon, find a suitable place in Longjing for a picnic (bring your own dry food, snacks and water, and remember to share).
Entering the secluded valley, we ascended Langdang Ridge, passing Qipan Mountain, and continued along the ridgeline. The scenery was beautiful, with tea plantations and ancient trees at our feet. From the Lion Mountain Observation Deck, the view was expansive and delightful. In the distance, the Santianzhu Lingyin Temple was in the distance, full of Zen.
We arrived at Shili Langyao around 14:30. The view here is excellent. It is so magnificent to see the distant view from a high place. We want to take a group photo here!!!
After passing Wenbi Peak, we will reach Wuyun Mountain (Zhenji Temple). When we get here, we must take a photo under the ancient ginkgo tree (over 1,400 years old).
Then we descended all the way to Yunqi Bamboo Path, a very quiet place with towering ancient trees and the most beautiful bamboo path in Hangzhou.
We arrived at the end of the hike around 4:30 PM. The bus had been waiting for us for a long time, so we boarded and headed back to Shanghai.
We returned to Shanghai around 19:30. Everyone was still reluctant to leave and said goodbye with tears in their eyes!!!
