Day 2 Wenzhou City → Daluo Mountain → Wenzhou South → Shanghai
All day
After breakfast we set off for Daluo Mountain at 8:00
We arrived at the hiking starting point around 9:00 AM and, after a warm-up, we set off! [Dragon Back Mountain], located in the center of the Daluo Mountain Scenic Area, consists of 23 similarly shaped rocks, approximately 40 meters long, 5 meters wide, and 8 meters high. Its name stems from its resemblance to the backbone of a giant dragon. Dragon Back is a granite landform, a typical volcanic formation, formed approximately 120 million years ago. It is one of the highlights of Daluo Mountain. [Tianluobei], a scenic area featuring Daluo Mountain's granite landforms and known as a museum of strange rocks, boasts unique shapes such as the Monkey King, Hamburger Rock, Butterfly Rock, Moon Boat, and Turtle Head Rock. This is also the most fun and exciting section, where you climb the exposed rock face with your hands, feet, and bare hands, overlooking several reservoirs and the East China Sea. [Tianhe West Reservoir] is one of the Tianhe West Reservoirs, located below Baijiajian, the summit of Daluo Mountain, and surrounded by dense forests. When the reservoir is low, the riverbed is exposed, and vast expanses of lush, verdant grassland resemble a sea of grass. Known as the "Altay of Wenzhou," it's a perfect spot for camping, picnics, and photo ops. Surrounded by rolling hills, the sunlight shimmers on the water, creating a shimmering effect like countless diamonds. It's truly beautiful and soothing!
At around 15:00 in the afternoon, we took a bus to Wenzhou South Station and returned to Shanghai
