Arrive at Anyang Township, and after a simple supply, take a bus to Muxin Valley (the boarding time is subject to the on-site tour leader's notification)

13:00

We started the 6km crossing of Muxin Valley, with a cumulative ascent of about 200 meters. The route was mainly dirt roads in the forest, with towering trees, moss all over the ground, mottled sunlight, and felled tree stumps scattered everywhere. Streams accompanied us all the way, like a mixture of the Kumano Kodo and the Ailao Mountains.

3:00 PM

After going down the mountain and meeting up with the bus, we will go to the water pier, change into our gear, and try out paddleboarding/kayak under the guidance of our instructor (check the box when you sign up). You can relax and enjoy boating on Qiandao Lake. Return to the pier to shower and change into clean clothes.

Note: If you do not want to participate in the water activities, you can stroll around the beer town on your own and check in at the famous lighthouse in Qiandao Lake.
