In the four seasons of Moli, we start from [Yuhua Scenic Spot], which is a large tourist attraction with a long history and beautiful scenery in Dongshan. You can directly reach the top of Moli Peak. The name "Yuhua" comes from the Ming Dynasty, when the mountain valley was full of peach trees. You walk along the bluestone road, stopping and starting. The first half is a dirt road in the mountains. You can shuttle through the seasons and see [Moli Peak].

After reaching the Half-Mountain Pavilion, you can rest for a while, take some photos, and drink some water before heading to the summit. Upon reaching the summit, you'll be rewarded with a panoramic view of Taihu Lake, which is breathtakingly beautiful in all seasons.
There is also Ciyun Temple at the top of the peak. If you have time, you can go there to pray. You can have a picnic nearby around 12:00.
After lunch, take a short break and gather at an appropriate time to go down the mountain. Follow the hiking trail down to the Ksitigarbha Hall, where you can also pray for blessings and peace.
We continued on, passing through Luxiang Ancient Village. Dating back over a thousand years to the Southern Song Dynasty, Luxiang is a relatively well-preserved village from the Ming and Qing dynasties. The village boasts a Ming Dynasty street, a Sanyuan Archway, and numerous halls. Here, you can experience a millennium of ancient customs.
