10:30

After arriving at the Zhuji mountain entrance village, everyone packed up and started today's hike!

Winding up the stone steps, you'll be accompanied by mountain streams and waterfalls, passing through a fairytale-like thousand-year-old Torreya grandis forest and a small wooden bridge before entering a wild road. Don't rush to check in and take photos, this is just the entrance to the "fairyland"!

The climb up the mountain is quite intense and requires a certain level of physical strength. If you feel unwell, do not force yourself to follow the leader's instructions to descend.

12:00

Arrive at the top of the mountain, go up and down all the way, check in and take photos at the popular rock, and feel the pleasure of looking down on all the other mountains.

2:00 PM

Start to go down the mountain. The road is quite steep and you can bring trekking poles to assist you. When walking in rainy days, pay attention to the muddy roads in some sections and be careful not to slip.

4:30 PM

We walked out of the mountains and returned to the foot of the mountain where we came from

8:00 PM

Arrived in downtown Shanghai. Everyone was still reluctant to leave and kissed goodbye with tears in their eyes!!

Driving time: Shanghai to Zhuji, about 3.5 hours

Hiking: Today's hike is a 7km mountain road plus a 3km winding road leading into the village, with a total ascent of about 550 meters. The climbing intensity is slightly high and requires a certain level of physical strength.

Note: If you have trekking poles, bring them with you. If the road downhill is muddy due to rain, you should bring an extra set of pantyhose in case you slip.

1.Why didn’t I receive a text message notification after registering?

2. What if it rains during the event?

2-3 days before the event, we will decide whether the event will proceed as scheduled based on the weather forecast and route conditions. Please pay attention to our notifications. Most activities can proceed as usual even if there is light rain. There is still fun to be had on rainy days. If heavy rain is forecast, the event will be cancelled and a full refund will be given to everyone.

3. Is this route crowded?

Most of our routes are natural and niche, with relatively small traffic. Of course, it also depends on the registration situation for each period. Generally, ordinary models are 37-seat buses, and a few large models are 53-seat. Each car has a certain proportion of tour leaders to ensure the quality of the event.

Zoumagang, nestled within Torreya grandis National Forest Park, lies at the junction of Zhuji's Zhaojia, Dongbaihu, Donghe, and Shengzhou districts, in the central section of the Kuaiji Mountains. The mountain range boasts a towering peak, its majestic main peak at 835 meters, the second highest in the Kuaiji Mountains. Known as the "ancestor of the mountains east of the city," it is said to have been named after King Goujian of Yue, who once trained his troops there. Zoumagang is divided into two branches, the Inner Zoumagang and the Outer Zoumagang. The Outer Zoumagang, southeast of Jiangxia Village, boasts undulating rock formations and verdant peaks, earning it the nickname "Saw Mountain." Looking up from the foot of the mountain, peaks rise towards the sky, their momentum resembling galloping horses.
