On a clear night, the sky is filled with stars. Perhaps you're too excited to sleep, so you can enjoy a midnight whisper... For photography enthusiasts, don't miss the night sky and the Milky Way. Everyone's waiting to see your photos on their social media feeds.
Day 2 Gongyu → Linkeng → Baita Town → Hangzhou
·morning
For those who want to watch the sunrise, get up early! (Bring your headlamp!) Xianju Gongyu, known as the "Shangri-La of East China," is nestled high in the mountains at an altitude of 600 meters. Surrounded by breathtaking peaks, peaks peaking around 1000 meters, the village forms a small basin surrounded by these peaks. Climbing to Gongyubei, a footpath south of the village, offers breathtaking views. This hike requires teamwork, so be sure to help each other! From Gongyubei, you'll be treated to breathtaking views of the winding peaks, with Gongyu Village, nestled among terraced fields, just below you. The sun slowly rises in the east, creating a dazzling radiance and a sea of clouds, immersing you in a fairyland!
The round-trip hike to Shanggongyubei involves a 3.5-kilometer hike with a 350-meter ascent. If you do not wish to view the sunrise, you can rest at a farmhouse. The sunrise tour is subject to weather conditions and will be canceled if the weather is poor or if it rains.
