Arrived at the starting point of the hike, there is a noodle shop where everyone can get supplies.
At the beginning, we will go through a section of hiking in the mountains and forests, and then enter the Qionglong Mountain Scenic Area.
During the hike through the scenic area, we can deeply experience the Confucian, Buddhist, Taoist and Military cultures: Confucianism: Zhu Maichen's Reading Platform; Buddhism: Ningbang Temple; Taoism: Shangzhen Temple; Military: Sun Tzu's Art of War. Everyone is free to enter and explore freely. Along the way, you will also see many cats, residents of this mountain. Influenced by the Qionglong culture, each cat is chubby and plump, and will be very happy to capture the camera. (Please do not feed or pet them at will, as there is a risk of being scratched and bitten.)
During the hike, you'll pass a prayer platform where you can pray for blessings and wealth to welcome the new year.
The entire hike is approximately 8km long, with a cumulative elevation gain of around 360m, making it a perfect place for outdoor hiking and praying.
Because the route is relatively simple, in order to cater to tourists who walk fast, the product manager also specially recommended the Zangshu Mutton Food Street not far from the Qionglong Mountain Scenic Area (you need to use Gaode Navigation or ask the tour leader).
Tired of mountain hiking? Soak up a bowl of fragrant mutton soup at Zangshu Mutton Food Street. Zangshu, named after the Han Dynasty scholar Zhu Maichen, once hid his books here. Known as the "Hometown of Chinese Mutton," Zangshu Street throngs with diners eager to savor the mutton soup and mutton every autumn and winter.

Arriving in Shanghai, we all felt a bit reluctant to leave and said goodbye with tears in our eyes!
Note: Although the route is simple, there is a steep descent. If you are a leisurely traveler, it is recommended to bring trekking poles.
This route is a fare-skipping route. If you encounter a ticket inspection, you will need to pay an additional 80 yuan for the ticket (so far, we have not encountered any ticket inspections).
