We'll head to the [Kaoluo Mountain] hiking spot. This is a highlight of the National Fitness Trail, offering beautiful scenery, fresh air, and a gentle stream along the way, creating a relaxing and enjoyable experience. After passing the waterfall, we'll begin our ascent of Dongkaoluo Mountain, heading to Ningbo's Rio de Janeiro check-in point. We'll then explore the undiscovered Baiyang Waterfall, nestled beneath the sheer cliffs of Dongkaoluo Mountain in Cixi, in Baiyang Village, Guanhaiwei Town. This waterfall is one of the largest in the mountain and a prime destination for outdoor cascading enthusiasts. Surrounded by misty clouds and lush greenery, the waterfall is a truly picturesque sight, surpassing even the most captivating. Visitors to this waterfall linger for a long time. This three-tiered waterfall, nestled against a cliff and facing a deep abyss, bordered by a treacherous ravine on the left and a steep peak on the right, is a sight to behold.

In due time, we headed to Minghe Ancient Town for lunch.

In the afternoon, we'll explore Minghe Ancient Town, a millennium-old town blessed with abundant natural resources and talented people. We'll stroll through the area, soaking up the sun and feeling the tranquility and pristine nature. One of the town's hallmarks is its abundance of street food. Find the famous rice cake dumplings and rat candy balls – they're definitely worth a try.

Taoluo Mountain: also known as Xianju Mountain, with an altitude of 424 meters, there are many strange peaks and rocks on the mountain, shady trees, and roaring waterfalls in the stream. Legend has it that the name of this place is related to the romantic affair of Tang Bohu: "The words written on the pipa turn into resentment, and the money measured by Taoluo cannot buy spring." Loach stone, clam stone, chessboard stone, and divine workmanship, every mountain and water, every stone and tree, are full of spiritual energy and are a masterpiece of nature.

Minghe Ancient Town: Located in the southern part of Guanhaiwei Town, Cixi City, at the foot of Wulei Mountain, on the shores of Duhu Lake and Baiyang Lake, this ancient town, once a major saltworks in eastern Zhejiang during the Tang and Song dynasties, boasts a history of over 1,200 years. Streets are built along the mountain, the town is formed by the river, and a temple stands beside the town, where fishermen and farmers live by the river. "The cry of cranes in Jiugao is heard throughout the fields," the town boasts. High-walled courtyards, winding alleys, quadrangle courtyards, horse-drawn towers, gabled slopes, green-tiled roofs, and horse-head walls create a mottled, leisurely, and quaint atmosphere. Wandering in Minghe Ancient Town reveals the traces of time.
