On the way, the tour leader began to explain the itinerary, the team members introduced themselves to each other, and the tour leader led everyone to interact, and there was laughter and joy all the way.

11:45
Arrived at the starting point, the outdoor martial arts hall, took a break, warmed up and set off into the mountains.
The journey is rich in martial arts culture, with waterfalls and streams flowing continuously. You can hike up the mountain and play in the water to cool off! !
You can rest and eat around the waterfall, but be sure to take your garbage away! ! ! ! ! !
The road leading to the top of the mountain offers beautiful waterfall scenery, strange rocks and rich cultural heritage, which is in no way inferior to many other waterfall routes.
2:00 PM
Slowly we came to Fuquan Village, a mountain village far away from the world, and also the last supply point before we camped at the summit.
There is still 3km of climbing to the summit, so please replenish your supplies here (make sure you have 4 full bottles of water before reaching the summit).
It is estimated that the remaining distance will take about 2 hours to reload and walk slowly. (Headlamp is required)
Information about supply points:
First: You can buy water and drinks at Qidian Farmhouse, which is also the group meal when you return to Shanghai the next day
Second: There is a small shop 3km away. The prices are relatively high, but the products are quite complete. You can resupply here.
The third one: Fuquan Village Farmhouse, this is the last supply station before reaching the summit. There are only cola, mineral water, and spring water from the mountain. You can take a final rest and supply here.
Note: If you do not choose to re-mount the summit, you can stay at a farmhouse in Fuquan Village (check the box on the registration page). It is an hour's walk from the summit. You need to climb the mountain around 3-4 am the next morning to watch the sunrise and meet up with your camping companions at the summit.
5:00 PM
After a day of hard climbing, we finally reached the summit!
The scenery here is beautiful and few people arrive. It is a good place for camping🏕️
Everyone started to choose a suitable camping spot to set up tents and prepare dinner
The sunset is right beside you, and the sun is beginning to set.
At this moment, all the hard work along the way has long been forgotten, and all that remains is the beauty that nature brings you! ! !
As time goes by,
The light illuminates everyone's face, warm and friendly.
There was silence all around, with only the occasional chirping of insects and the sound of breeze rustling the leaves.
We held our breath and seemed to hear the ticking of time in our ears🌌.
On this quiet night, our heartbeats are synchronized with the pulse of the universe, admiring the gorgeous starry sky✨.
10:00 PM

The friends who were staying at the farmhouse got up, packed their things, and prepared to climb to the top of the Boat Shelter Peak to meet up with their friends who were camping on the top of the mountain.
04:00
As the night slowly fades away, the world is immersed in tranquility.
The stars gradually disappeared, and the sky changed from dark blue to light gray, heralding the arrival of a new day.
We stood on the top of the boat landing point, breathing the first breath of air in the morning, feeling the peace and tranquility of nature.
The sunrise and sea of clouds at the top of Gechuanjian are truly breathtaking. Everyone took some beautiful photos at the top and prepared to slowly descend the mountain. The path down is quite slow.
08:00
We ate some breakfast and started to move out of camp.
Then clean up the trash around you and tidy up the tent (very important~)
Fulfill the LNT rule for every outdoor person.
No trace camping, no trace in the mountains!!
We took the garbage down the mountain
We set off to break camp and start our descent. The whole journey was a gentle downhill walk with excellent scenery. We could see the buildings of southern Anhui and the strange rocks on the mountain peaks from afar.
12:00
Everyone arrived at the farmhouse at the bottom of the mountain one after another.
The bus has been waiting at the foot of the mountain for a long time. You can get on the bus after the AA group meal at the farmhouse at the foot of the mountain and start your journey back to Shanghai.
On the way back, we have time to reminisce about every detail of our journey.
The people we met, the scenery we saw, and the stories we experienced have all become our precious memories, replaying one by one in our minds as the bus travels.
On the way back, we will stop at a service area for everyone to replenish supplies, use the toilet, and relieve fatigue from the journey.
6:00 PM
Back to Shanghai, ending our reloading journey, we kissed goodbye with tears and made plans for the next one!
