07:30
Depart on time, with interactive onboard activities and itinerary introductions, and lots of laughter along the way!
11:00
Arrive at Banshan Village, known as "China's No. 1 Bamboo Village," with a bamboo coverage rate of 91.6%. Enjoy a free lunch and warm up before the hike begins! (You must bring your own lunch.)
12:00
We hiked to the thousand-year-old Futuo Temple, originally built during the Liang Dynasty during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period and flourishing during the Northern Song Dynasty. The temple is nestled deep in a bamboo forest, with only houses visible from two or three kilometers away. Its location is truly tranquil. The central axis of Futuo Temple, from south to north, runs through the Heavenly King Hall, the Great Hall, the Huayan Hall, and the Xiao'en Pagoda. We can visit them in order.
13:00
We continued walking along the beautiful countryside trail and arrived at the Dusong Pass Ancient Post Road, an important node on the Hangzhou-Xuan Ancient Road. Dusong Pass is one of the many ancient passes recorded in historical documents in Anji that is still preserved and relatively intact. It is also one of the more intact Song Dynasty passes in Zhejiang Province.
2:00 PM
Entering the second half of the climb, it’s a bit challenging!
3:00 PM
We hiked down and arrived at Banshan Village again. After a quick repacking, we headed back to Nanjing!
7:00 PM
We were reluctant to leave Nanjing and looked forward to seeing each other again!
