07:15-07:30 At Exit 1 of Andemen Station on Nanjing Metro Line 1, see the yellow China-TravelNote flag and gather to sign in.

07:30

We got on the bus on time and set off. On the way, the team members played interactive games, laughed and talked all the way, and before we knew it, we were approaching our destination.

10:00

We arrived at Wuxi Baojie Forest Park and got off the bus and lined up.

Starting from Baojie Forest Park, the route passes Bijia Mountain and Xishan Mountain, and reaches Dashantou. The route then passes Dashantou Pass, crosses the West Valley of Dongshan Mountain and the West Valley of Shitang Mountain near Nanyang College, and winds through the jungle to Dafunan Village.

12:00

When you arrive at Dafunan Village, you can have a meal on the way and replenish supplies as needed.

13:00

After lunch, we continued our journey, with the final section heading towards Junzhang Peak (as climbing the peak consumes a lot of energy, and the road conditions are poor in the dense forest, making it very easy to get lost, so we needed to stay close to the group). We then descended to Longsi Temple and crossed the Ecological Park.

4:00 PM

Exit from the ecological park gate, continue forward to the end of the walk, meet up with the bus, and the crossing activity ends!

6:30 PM

When we returned to the starting point in downtown Nanjing, everyone was reluctant to leave and kissed goodbye with tears in their eyes!

Driving time: 2.5 hours

Hiking: Today's hike is about 18km, mainly mountainous

Junzhang Ancient Trail: Located in the hilly hinterland east of Meiliang Lake in Binhu District, Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province, the Junzhang Ancient Trail boasts a history stretching back hundreds, even thousands of years. It served as a travel route for mountain dwellers before the advent of highways in the 1970s. These long-abandoned and weathered ancient trails have taken on a new meaning: a sense of travel. Most of these trails still exist, serving as historical testaments to the Junzhang Mountain area and a valuable asset to the scenic area.
