We set off promptly at 7:00 PM. The team leader chatted with everyone and played games, bringing laughter and joy along the way.
Around midnight, we arrived at a farmhouse at the foot of Tianmu Mountain and stayed overnight to rest and recharge for the next day's trek.

Day 2 Dalong Village → Black Hole Waterfalls → Blacksmith Mountain → Dalong Village
All day
7:30 Breakfast (Tourists who like morning jogging can get up early to exercise their lungs~~)
We departed for the Blacksmith Mountain Loop at 8:00 AM. We soon reached the entrance to the Black Hole Waterfalls—Husband and Wife Rock. We then crossed a bamboo forest to the Black Hole Waterfalls, the Liansousuo Waterfalls, the "Little Three Gorges," the "Ladder to Heaven," the "Immortal Planting Trees," the "Sweet Cave," and the "Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers."
Arrive at Black Hole Eight Immortals Rock around 9:30 AM for a group photo. After a rest, continue up the stream path towards Blacksmith Mountain. Densely forested and shady with green trees, the scenery along the way is picturesque, perfect for resting and taking photos along the way to capture the beautiful scenery! In spring, azaleas blanket the mountain stream, while in summer, waterfalls cascade down the mountain. In autumn, reeds sway in the alpine meadows, and in winter, rime dapples the mountain with snow. This hike is very similar to the Wugong Mountain hike and is a rare and off-the-beaten-path hike.
We set off towards the summit around 12:00 PM and reached Blacksmith Peak around 1:00 PM. Blacksmith Mountain slopes westward toward the Wuyue Ancient Road and Tianchi Lake in western Zhejiang, and eastward to Huanghua Pass and Daochangping, where alpine meadows stretch endlessly. Blacksmith Peak, at 1,180 meters above sea level, stands out prominently against the lush Dragon Spine of Tianmu Mountain, seemingly descending from outer space, like a meteorite that has fallen onto the Tianmu Mountains. From the summit, we'll enjoy a panoramic view of the surrounding mountains. We'll grab a lunch here, rest, and take photos.
13:30 Continue to set off and walk along the ridge of Tianmu Mountain, with a panoramic view of the scenery on both sides.
We returned to the foot of the mountain around 16:00 and returned to the farm to rest and have dinner. After dinner, accompanied by the starry night sky, the tourists chatted and hunted together, shared the fun of this summer, and discussed the stored "autumn fruits"!
Day 3 Dalong Village → Xiquan Village → Leli Peak Loop → Xiquan Village → Shanghai
All day
7:30 Breakfast (Tourists who like morning jogging can get up early to exercise their lungs~~)
The bus departs at 8:00 for Xiquan Village at the foot of Leli Peak. The journey takes about 1 hour. We arrive at the hiking starting point around 9:00 and depart after warming up.
Leli Peak stands tall and majestic on the northeast side of Tianchi Lake in western Zhejiang, with an altitude of 1,363 meters. The "Changhua County Chronicles" records: "Leli Peak is on the left side of Qianqing Mountain. The cliffs are solitary and steep. You can see the Qiantang River from above, and Wuhu County is behind it. The peaks and mountains are particularly beautiful, with cliffs standing more than a hundred feet high. Springs flow down the cliffs and never run dry all year round. The sedges on the stone mountain are as thick as a mattress, like dragon's beard. The mountain is high and steep, and there is fog in spring and winter, and the day is as dark as night."
We arrived at the summit of Leli Peak around 11:00 AM, overlooking the Tianchi Lake in western Zhejiang. The view was breathtaking. We rested and enjoyed lunch there. (If the sun was too strong, we continued to a cooler area for lunch.)
After lunch, we started our return journey down the mountain. On the way, we came across the Qianqing Pass Stele. Qianqing Pass, Yuling Pass, and Qianqiu Pass are known as the Three Passes of Western Zhejiang. They were the trade routes that the people of Ningguo Prefecture used to travel to work and buy and sell local specialties in ancient times.
Around 14:30, return to the starting point and get on the bus for the return journey.
Around 19:30, we returned to the starting point in Shanghai, said goodbye with tears and kissed, and looked forward to meeting again next time.
