There are many alpine meadows in the mountains and rivers of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the alpine meadows of Daochangping are not inferior to those of Wugong Mountain.

[7:00] Arrived at the starting point of the hike [Black Hole Waterfall Group], and everyone warmed up under the leadership of the team leader, ready to start today's [Yongzheng Tiandao Line] hiking plan!

Around 10:00 AM, we arrived near Blacksmith Peak and enjoyed the ridgeline scenery along the way! We continued walking along the ridge, passing our iconic boulder for photos and check-in time! After reaching the summit, we found a flat spot, sat down on the alpine meadow, and shared a meal together!

After a short break, we continued our journey, reaching the summit of Baishiyan Rock, descending to Xiaoping Creek, and sprinting towards Leli Peak. Later, we reached the summit together, overlooking Tianchi Lake from the ridgeline. The view was breathtaking, a feeling of tranquility and exhilaration, like "the divine pool is vast, the heavens are floating in the air."

Around 3:00 PM, we arrived at [Zhexi Tianchi]. After touring Tianchi for a bit, we headed towards Ningguo! (It's easy to get lost here, so be careful to identify the trails and the ribbons!)

Around 4:30 PM, we arrived at the hike's finish line. Congratulations on completing the Anhui-Zhejiang Skyline Trail! Back on the bus, ready to return to Shanghai!

Note: The gap between the front and rear groups may be too large. The front group can rest, eat and wait at the farmhouse at the finish line.

It gets dark early in autumn and winter, so you must bring a headlamp when going up and down the mountain!

Regarding the descent line: Due to its special geographical location, this route has no descent line, so based on the hiking conditions on the first day, you should make a reasonable judgment on whether you are capable of completing the entire journey today!

At around 20:30, we arrived at the departure point, and everyone said goodbye with tears and kisses, agreeing to continue challenging the Brave Journey route next time!

1.Why didn’t I receive a text message notification after registering?

2. What if it rains during the event?

2-3 days before the event, we will decide whether the event will proceed as scheduled based on the weather forecast and route conditions. Please pay attention to our notifications. Most outdoor activities can proceed as usual even with light rain. Rainy days also have their own fun. If heavy rain is forecast, the event will be cancelled and a full refund will be given to everyone.

3. Is this route crowded?

Most of our routes are natural and niche, with relatively small traffic. Of course, it also depends on the registration situation for each period. Generally, ordinary models are 37-seat buses, and there are also large models with 53 seats. Each car has a certain proportion of tour leaders to ensure the quality of the event.

4. The event shows that the quota is temporarily full. What does "substitute" mean?

[Daochangping]: At an altitude of nearly 1,000 meters, there is an open area of ​​alpine meadows of about 4 square kilometers. Here is also the pass built during the conflict between Wu and Wei, namely Huanghua Pass.

【Blacksmith Mountain】: Known as the "Little Wugong Mountain in Southern Anhui", it is famous for its stunning mountain ridge scenery. In autumn, the mountain is covered with reed flowers, like entering a golden ocean!

The vast meadows stretch out for thousands of hectares; the vast lake is where the water and sky merge into one. Because of its unique scenery of mountains and lakes, it has been listed as one of the "Ten Scenic Spots of Tangchang" in history.

The Tiandao Line, located at the junction of Hangzhou's Lin'an and Xuancheng's Ningguo, is a ridgeline with an average elevation of approximately 1,000 meters. It belongs to the Tianmu Mountain Range. Because its endpoints are Tianchi Lake and Daochangping in western Zhejiang, it is also known as the "Tiandao Line."
