Step onto the ancient mountain trail and start your hiking journey.
Walking along the winding path, you will reach the archway of Renjiaxi Ancient Road, where you will be overwhelmed by the weight of history. The initial stage is a stone-paved stone step trail. Along the way, you can see trees, bamboo forests, reservoirs, and in June, you can also see delicious bayberries.
This ancient trail begins at a stone archway, followed by a mottled stone staircase that leads to Houmao Mountain, as well as to Jiangbei and Zhenhai Districts. Surrounded by the Houmaoshan Reservoir and lush tea plantations, Houmao Mountain is a popular outdoor outing and hiking destination for Ningbo hikers.
In the afternoon, we reached the shores of Linghu Lake. On its east bank stands the ancient Linglong Palace. The emerald green mountains and blue waters, combined with the majestic Linglong Palace, create a breathtaking scene. Built during the Daoguang reign of the Qing Dynasty, the Linglong Palace remains remarkably well-preserved.
