Use of trekking poles

Trekking poles are essential for outdoor hiking. Are you using them correctly? They serve different purposes in different situations! Learn how to use them correctly with our instructor!

Visit Zilai Cave

Zilai Cave, nestled on the hillside of Yuhuang Mountain, boasts three chambers at varying heights below its entrance. It's one of the "Seven Ancient Caves of West Lake," and a stone tablet at the entrance bears the inscription "Purple Air Coming from the East." Children are encouraged to explore the cave with their own flashlights or use their cell phones to learn about its history and legends.

Overlooking Baguatian

This route avoids the crowds and offers a chance to admire the scenery, explore the hidden gems, and experience the unique charm of rural farming. Standing atop Yuhuang Mountain, overlooking Baguatian, you can take in the diverse scenery of mountains, forests, ancient roads, farmland, and the river.
