Day 1 Shanghai → Jinhua → Panqian Village
All day
[Heading to Beishan: 07:15 - 12:00]
07:15-07:30 Gather at the designated location of China-TravelNote
We set off on time at 07:30. The tour leader will explain the itinerary and provide interactive introductions along the way, creating a lot of laughter and fun along the way. We will stop at service areas at appropriate times along the way to give everyone time to refuel and eat.
Around 12:00, we arrived at Jiulong Village, the starting point of the hike. We had lunch in time and then went up the mountain.
Hiking: 1:00 PM - 5:30 PM
Around 13:00, we started our hike from Jiulong Village. The starting point passed by a mine known as the Jinhua version of "Little Iceland." We could stop and take photos (we didn't enter the scenic area, but were just looking out over Little Iceland).
Around 2:00 PM, we walked up along the ridgeline. The route was very pristine, with many strange rocks to explore. Let's breathe in the natural oxygen as we walked!
Around 16:00, we arrived at the highest point and looked down upon the other mountains. After a short pause, we followed the plank road through the primeval forest, which felt quite like Shennongjia.
Around 17:30, the bus picked us up at the end of the day's hike and took us to our accommodation for the night - Panqian Village (about 5-10 minutes by car). After a short rest and checking in, we waited for the sunset to arrive.
[Drunk Sunset: 18:30 - Falling asleep]
Around 18:30, night fell and the sunset was intoxicating. After the hiking challenge, we also needed a delicious farmhouse meal to fill our stomachs.
Around 19:30, after dinner, you can meet up for a group chat, but be sure to rest and recharge your batteries for tomorrow's sunrise and hike.
Day 2 Panqian Village → Dapanjian → Lunu Lake → Zhizhe Temple → Shanghai
All day
[1314 Sunrise Romance: 05:00 - 08:00]
For early risers, we can head to the summit of Dapanjian at 1,314 meters to enjoy a romantic sunrise. (The sunrise will also depend on the weather conditions of the day, and our tour leader will adjust the itinerary accordingly. If the weather is not suitable for sunrise viewing, we will depart at 07:30 to reach the summit of Dapanjian.)
After watching the sunrise, we can return to the village for breakfast.
Autumn at Lunu Lake: 9:00 AM - 1:30 PM
Around 09:00, after getting up and having breakfast, we will go down the mountain from Panqian Village under the organization of the team leader (remember to prepare knee pads) and hike to Lunu Lake. The mountain road is full of negative ions. On the way, we will pass by the Sky Viewing Platform, where you can see the scenery of Jinhua City. We will also give tourists a check-in.
Around 11:00 AM, we arrived at Lunu Lake. In autumn, the lake's emerald waters ripple, reflecting the vibrant colors of the mountains and forests. We followed the plank path around the lake, weaving through the Metasequoia forest, capturing the essence of autumn. (The tour lasts approximately 1-1.5 hours.)
Around 12:30, head to the lunch spot to try the authentic flavors of Jinhua. (You can also bring your own lunch if you wish)
Around 1:30 PM, after lunch, we headed to Zhizhe Temple. The ancient temples and pavilions appeared even more solemn and majestic under the autumn sunshine. The temple was covered with red maple leaves, which added a touch of poetry when they fell.
Return: 14:30-20:00
Around 14:30, the sightseeing at Zhizhe Temple ended, and our two-day and one-night trip to Jinhua Mountain in autumn was a complete success! After a short rest, we returned to Shanghai.
Around 19:30, we returned to our departure point in Shanghai. Everyone was reluctant to leave and kissed goodbye with tears in their eyes!!!
