Today's climb was significant, so the tourists were urged to watch their step and proceed with caution. Leaving behind the frenetic pace of society, tourists enjoyed a tranquil retreat, refreshed their souls, and experienced the unique joys of hiking.

00:30 The canyon is quiet and the springs are clear! After a four and a half hour climb, we arrived at the accommodation and quickly settled into our rooms. We chatted, boasted, drank some wine, and sang some songs. We looked up at the Milky Way together, discussing everything from poetry and songs to the philosophy of life. The stargazing continued until late at night, and when we were tired, we could just fall asleep in the tent!

Kuocang Mountain lies west of Zhangjiadu Town. Its main peak, Mishailang, stands at 1,382 meters, making it the highest peak in eastern Zhejiang. Zhangjiadu, located in central Zhejiang Province, is an ancient Jiangnan town west of Linhai, a National Historic and Cultural City, boasting a rich cultural heritage and beautiful natural scenery. It is also Linhai's only ecological demonstration township and hydropower station. The northwest flanks of Kuocang Mountain offer a dramatic descent, with steep slopes and ridges cascading through the mountains, creating a breathtaking landscape of rugged beauty. The mountaintops are perpetually shrouded in mist, while the surrounding mountains loom below, creating a sea of ​​clouds that appears and disappears, creating an enchanting spectacle. The fresh air and gentle mountain breezes at the summit offer a perfect escape from the summer heat. The majestic Kuocang Mountain, with its vast and rolling slopes and main peak, Mishailang, stands at 1,382.6 meters. The undulating ridges and breathtaking natural landscapes complement each other, creating a spectacular and vibrant landscape. The Jiutai Valley nearby is a breathtaking sight, with sheer cliffs on both sides, towering peaks, cascading waterfalls, deep streams, steep slopes, and shrouded in mist, appearing and disappearing from view, resembling a fairy island. If Yandang is like a gentle woman in the south of the Yangtze River, Kuancang can be described as a hulking northerner.
