Around 11:00, we arrived at our destination, Donggang Village. After a warm-up before climbing, our leader led us on our way. Donggang Village is located halfway up the mountain, so our journey involved going uphill, downhill, and finally a slightly challenging uphill climb back to the starting point.
Around 11:30 AM, we set off along the tractor path to a small lake. The water was exceptionally clear and crisp, and the pine forest across the way was reflected in the water, evoking a Norwegian forest. The autumn sun shone brightly on the forest floor, and the golden pine trees blanketing the hills seemed like something out of a Nordic fairy tale. The distant view of Siming Lake was tranquil and serene, akin to stepping into Northern Europe, with a gentle breeze and the sound of birdsong creating a truly relaxing experience.
After a short rest, we set off, following a long ridgeline to the top of Donggang Mountain. On the way down, we passed tea plantations, forests, streams, and stone slabs, with rich scenery and a relaxing and leisurely atmosphere.
Then we began the final climb, following the edge of the canal all the way back to Donggang Village.
Around 16:00, get on the bus and start the return journey.
Around 20:00, we arrived at the departure point in Shanghai and dispersed smoothly. Everyone was still reluctant to leave and said goodbye with tears in their eyes!!!
