After arriving at the starting point and briefly settling in, we set off on time, led by our tour leader, for our Changpu Valley hike. The valley, with its dense forests, numerous unusual peaks and rocks, broken stone walls, and winding streams running through it, is a fantastic hiking destination in Anji County. Throughout the hike, we encountered the occasional waterfall, the occasional pool of water, the mountains thick with lush bamboo, the crystal-clear stream, the rustling of fallen leaves beneath our feet, the endless mountains in the distance, and the uniquely fresh air of the mountain forest.

12:30

Find a cool and shady spot by the stream to escape the heat. Tourists can share their own food with a few friends (please bring enough supplies).

13:00

After a short rest after the meal, we continued our journey upstream. There are five waterfalls in the valley: Aowu Waterfall, Lady Waterfall, Guniu Waterfall, Yinzhu Waterfall, and Dalao Waterfall, which are less than one kilometer apart.

A concave waterfall juts out from the roof of the building, about two meters in diameter. The entire building is over a hundred meters long and over ninety meters high, forming a circular arc. Water flows down from the vent, creating the Aowu Waterfall. Below the waterfall is a fifty-square-meter agate pond, its depth unfathomable, surrounded by verdant grass. In the sunlight, the waters are a brilliant blue. Below the agate pond is the Lady Waterfall, elegant and graceful, like a lady. Below it lies another pond, the Lady Pond, which is rich and full. Together with the Lady Waterfall, it creates the scene of a beautiful woman dressing herself. Further below is the Guniu Waterfall, where a large rock resembling a cow forms the name of the waterfall. (The third waterfall is currently operated as a scenic spot, requiring admission. Please be aware of this registration process.)

4:00 PM

At the end of the hike, return at an appropriate time.

7:30 PM

Return to the starting point in Nanjing and disband the group happily.

Driving time: 3.5 hours

Hiking: Today's hike is about 10km, with a 600m climb, taking about 4.5 hours. It is mainly dirt roads and wild roads, with a small climb, but not difficult.

Note: There are many waterfalls and pools along the route, so you can bring appropriate equipment. Tourists who like playing in the water can also go in and play.

[Changpu Valley] is located near Zhangcun Town, Anji County. The scenic spots in the valley include Aowu Waterfall, Lady Waterfall, Guniu Waterfall, and Yinzhu Waterfall. This is a primitive hiking route. Along the way, you will experience a journey through time, but it is precisely because of its primitiveness that it attracts many challengers.
