12:45 Gather and sign in at Exit 11A of Wuxi Sanyang Square Subway Station (in front of Yunfu Building on Zhongshan Road).

We boarded the bus on time at 13:00 and set off. The tour leader introduced the tourists to each other, explained the itinerary and played interactive games, and we laughed and chatted all the way to our destination.

We arrived at the foot of Qijian Mountain in Lin'an around 18:00, where we were assigned rooms, had a local farmer's dinner, and rested to recharge our batteries for tomorrow's journey.

Driving time: about 4 hours

Note: Please prepare enough dry food and water for two meals before departure. It is recommended to bring a thermos and fill it with hot water.

Day 2: Xianrending → Qianmutian → Dongguan Village

All day

Breakfast at 04:30. Before breakfast, pack your gear and place any unused gear in the car. At 05:00, board
the car and depart for the hiking starting point.
Around 05:30, all members disembark and participate in a warm-up exercise with your team leader. Once ready, begin the hike.
Around 08:00, we ascend to the summit of Xianren Peak, gazing at the summit of Longwang Mountain. We continue along the winding mountain trail
at 10:00, reaching the summit of Longwang Mountain and overlooking the Seven Peaks. We then continue along the ridge fire road, climbing and descending humps along the way.
Around 12:30, the main group will have lunch at Yaowang Peak. At 13:30,
we'll depart, passing Qianmu Peak and arriving at the forest ranger station, where we'll briefly assemble .
Around 14:30, we'll continue along the winding mountain road, resting as the front group walks while the rear group keeps pace
. At 15:30, the entire group reunites and begins the descent along the mountain trail. The journey is thrilling, but the tourists help each other, their laughter echoing through the mountains!
Around 17:30, we arrived at Dongguan Village before dark and went to a farmer's house for dinner, accommodation and rest.

Hiking: Today's hike is approximately 22km+, with a cumulative ascent of 1430m and a cumulative descent of 1830m. Please bring plenty of dry food and drinks; there will be a descent point about a third of the way, so please make your own decision based on your own situation and the instructions of the team leader.

Notes: 1. Xianrending has been designated a nature reserve. If the reserve prohibits visitors from ascending, we will ascend directly to Longwangshan. Thank you for your understanding. 2. Because it gets dark early in the mountains and the roads are dangerous at night, for safety reasons, the team leader will ensure that everyone descends to the farmhouse around 5:30 PM. Considering road conditions, weather, and team members' physical fitness, the route may be slightly adjusted during this period. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding!

Day 3 Dongguan Village → Daxianding → Wuxi

All day

We got up at 05:00, had a hot breakfast at the farm, put our luggage on the bus
and continued to travel light at 05:30. We headed to the starting
point of the hike at 06:00. After a group warm-up, we started to climb the mountain, using our hands and feet to climb up along the trail to Yangtianping.
Around 8:30 AM, we arrived at Xianren Terrace. After a brief rest, we descended along the trail, then continued our ascent about half an hour later (you might hear some crying here…).
Around 10:00 AM, we reached Daxian Peak, East Tianmu Peak. From there, we gazed at West Tianmu Peak, overlooking the path we'd taken yesterday, and couldn't help but cheer.
We descended at 10:30 AM. About an hour and a half later, we arrived at Zhaoming Temple, where we could go inside and experience the scenery. Tourists can bring out their dry food for lunch. At
12:00 PM, the group assembled and ran towards the foot of the mountain along the trail, through the scenic area, and across the stream (don't run if the downhill slope is slippery…).
We arrived at the foot of the mountain around 2:00 PM and boarded the bus back to Wuxi. The tourists could have a good time to debrief on the bus.
Around 7:00 PM, we arrived at the Wuxi departure point, kissed each other tearfully, and promised to meet again for the next non-torturing trip.

Driving time: 4.5 hours

Hiking: Today's hike is about 17km, with a cumulative ascent of 1410m and a cumulative descent of 1670m.

Note: While the Seven Peaks are beautiful, trekking them is quite demanding. The full trek adds to the challenge, and the distance is long. Hiking is subject to factors like wind, rain, peak temperatures, and sunset times. The tour leader may make adjustments to the itinerary based on team members' fitness, current road conditions, and other safety considerations. Please be reasonable and enjoy the experience. Safety is paramount when traveling outdoors; after all, the mountains are there.

The Tianmu Mountains stretch for hundreds of miles, stretching from Qingliang Peak in the west to Mogan Mountain in the east. Tourists who have traversed the East Tianmu, Longwang Mountain, West Tianmu, and Qijian Pass know that Qianmu Field is a crucial staging post, while Qianzhang Cliff offers breathtaking scenery. With an average elevation of nearly 1,500 meters, this section boasts the unique scenery of the eastern high mountains, a must-see for every outdoor enthusiast!
