08:30

We set off on time, headed to our destination, played interactive games along the way, and got to know each other. Today, we hope everyone can help each other and complete the hike together.

10:30

After arriving at the starting point and taking a short rest, we began our journey from Jiufeng Temple. This time we deliberately selected the best sections of the Sanzhou Ancient Road so that everyone would not feel too tired, and at the same time presented the beautiful scenery of this section of the road. After the warm-up, we began to climb the mountain. The road up the mountain was all stone slabs, and there were pavilions for rest along the way. Along the way, there were dense bamboo forests, quaint villages, and colorful shrubs and jungles. After reaching the top of the mountain, we looked for the ginkgo tree planted by Sun Quan's mother 1,700 years ago. The scenery was as beautiful as before.

The mountains and forests are naturally colorful. Tourists walk among them, take various photos, upload them to "Meet", and share them with more friends who love the outdoors.

12:00

We had a free break for lunch, where we could share the delicious food with each other and enjoy a “hundred-family meal”.

3:00 PM

We went down the mountain to the village, ended a pleasant day, and boarded the bus back to Nanjing.

5:00 PM

Arrived in Nanjing, kissed goodbye with tears, and saw you next time.
