Big Tree Kingdom Hug Big Tree

About two hours, we arrived at the Big Tree Kingdom

As we began our hike under the guidance of our tour guide, we were greeted by the sight of a primeval forest. The entire landscape was a sea of ​​lush green mountains and ancient trees, complemented by the perilous sight of bizarre rock formations and cascading waterfalls, creating the illusion of an ecotourism destination. From a distance, the mountains were filled with bizarre rock formations, each competing for beauty, and from time to time, the sound of flowing water could be heard!

Along the way, there are countless towering trees over 30 meters tall. At the top, you'll marvel at the "King of Trees" and "Sky-reaching Trees." In autumn, you can even admire the 10,000-year-old "Five Generations Under One Roof" of ginkgo trees. We then found an open space to rest and recharge. (Recent road repairs are underway on the route to the Kaishan Old Temple, Simian Peak Scenic Area, and the pavilion, but this won't affect the overall tour. Please sign up carefully if you're concerned.)

After arriving at the Dashuwang Scenic Area, we'll begin our descent. We'll board the scenic shuttle bus at the exit, where we can pose for stunning photos at the Dashuwang Kingdom. We'll then take the shuttle bus to Chanyuan Temple, where we can visit and check in, and enjoy tea and coffee. (We'll hike from Chanyuan Temple to the Longfengjian parking lot, a distance of approximately 7km plus a 2km stroll. The hike, including photos, will take 3.5-4 hours, with a total elevation gain of 800 meters. After arriving at the parking lot, we'll take the scenic shuttle bus down the mountain. The shuttle bus fare is 20 yuan, at your own expense. The last bus leaves at 4:00 PM.)
