Day 1 Shanghai → Baiyan Village → Shimenkeng → Xiayanbei →
All day
07:00-07:15 Gather at the designated location of China-TravelNote and sign in.
We set off on time at 07:15. The team members on the bus introduced themselves to each other, explained the itinerary and played interactive games, and we laughed and chatted all the way to our destination.
If there is traffic jam during holidays, we will arrange lunch at the service area
12:00-13:00 Take the bus to the starting point of the hike [Baiyan Village], after warming up, the team sets off
13:00-16:00 At this time, a huge [upside-down "boot"] appeared in front of us.
The canyon is deep, the clear water is gurgling, and it is like the Wizard of Oz. Going down the stream, along the Hanfei River at the bottom of the valley, you will see the Danxia and the red rocks, the cliffs are thousands of feet high, the waves are undulating, and the two peaks are sandwiched between the deep canyon thousands of feet deep. The scenery is beautiful.
When you are there, you may want to have a water fight to cool down and then hike to Xinchang Big Bend, which is a good viewpoint for seeing Jiangnan Omega and Chuanyan Nineteen Peaks.
Arrive at Xiayanbei Village between 4:00 PM and 5:00 PM. Built on the slopes of a mountain, the valley below is mostly rocky, hence the name Xiayanbei. The village boasts rolling peaks and crisscrossing valleys, with vast expanses of terraced fields dotting the hillsides, enhanced by tea trees. The sea of clouds rises, creating a breathtaking spectacle, like a fairyland. Its unique geographical location and stunning scenery make Xiayanbei a popular camping destination in Xinchang.
17:00-18:00 [Ancient Village Tour], after checking in, we can choose to take photos and check in at the nearby viewing platform, stroll along the fluorescent trail in the tea garden, and escape the hustle and bustle of the city
18:00-19:00 In such a cloud-top village, you can randomly choose a farm to enjoy local food with new mountain friends you met today, and finally check in to rest, looking forward to continuing the exciting journey tomorrow.
If you bring camping equipment, you can set up tents under the guidance of the team leader, build toilets in the public area, and enjoy breakfast with your roommates the next morning.
2nd Tianxia Yanbei Village → Nineteen Peaks → Xinchang County → Shanghai
All day
5:00 Friends who want to watch the sunrise and sea of clouds are advised to get up early and go back to take a nap after watching.
7:00-7:30 Friends who want to have breakfast can have breakfast at the farm and feel the mist that is about to disappear in Xiayanbei Village.
Note: Sunrise and sea of clouds are subject to weather conditions. Even if there is no sunrise or sea of clouds, I believe that the quiet mountain village morning will heal your body and mind.
9:00 Departure by bus, gathering to visit [Chuanyan Nineteen Peaks]
We arrived at [Chuanyan Nineteen Peaks] around 09:30, went to the bathroom, packed up our equipment and started to challenge [Flying Dragon Plank Road]!
Along the thousand-foot-deep valley and mountain stream, the altitude gradually rises. You can experience the essence of the Feilong plank road (20 yuan at your own expense) and visit the Nineteen Peaks. You can check in one by one through the caves and various stone peaks, especially Wanghai Peak (the highest peak), Ma'an Peak and the adjacent Cable Boat Peak.
9:30-12:00 [Nineteen Peaks] These peaks, arranged in a row, resemble both a facade and a folding screen. Named the Nineteen Peaks of Chuanyan, they feature a circular opening in their center, connecting east and west. These vibrant peaks, each with its own distinct shape, stand side by side in a vibrant triangle where the Hanfei and Jingling Rivers meet. The Nineteen Peaks rise above the Chengtan River, where the Jingling and Hanfei Rivers meet. Climbing the Nineteen Peaks offers captivating views of the surrounding sky. Standing atop the peak offers a refreshing and unobstructed view of the rural countryside.
From 12:00-1:30 PM, if you have extra time, we'll offer a special stop at the renowned [Carbohydrate Food Street] to enjoy Xinchang's specialties:
Get on the bus and return around 14:00
We will arrive at the departure point in Shanghai around 20:30. See you all tourists!
