Day 1 Nanjing → Zhinan Village → Nanjing
07:15
From 07:15 to 07:30, we will gather and sign in at Exit 1 of Andemen Station, Line 1 of Nanjing Metro, when we see the yellow China-TravelNote flag.
11:30
Arriving at our destination, we spotted two golden ginkgo trees waiting for us at the intersection from afar, marking the entrance to the Linchuan Ancient Trail. We disembarked and crossed the bridge, where the Dongtiao River gently flowed beneath our feet. As we ascended, golden ginkgo leaves, fiery red sweetgum leaves, giant Torreya grandis trees, and golden terraced wheat fields swayed in the breeze beside the mountain path, offering a warm welcome. Along the way, we passed volcanic lava flow slopes, a spectacular and unique geological landscape.
Zhinan Village isn't large, with a lake nestled within it and enormous, fiery-red maple trees surrounding it. A few old houses remain, and wandering through the alleys and corners, the occasional sight of a cluster of autumn chrysanthemums in full bloom is a truly breathtaking sight. Regroup, raise the flags, and take a group photo. Try some creative poses and walk along the ancient path.
4:00 PM
Following a pretty nice winding mountain path and crossing a pass, we arrived at Zhaling in about an hour, where a cheerful stream meandered beside the road.
The bus has been waiting here for a long time.
8:00 PM
Back to Nanjing! Everyone is still not satisfied, looking forward to meeting again next time!
