Zhuji Laoying Mountain to Douyan 7-flag route, centered around Laoying Mountain (Yaoying Mountain) and Douyan, traverses ridges, canyons, and forests, offering both challenging and scenic views.

The route is named 7 Flags because we will check in and pass by 7 national flags along the way. The scenery along the way is spectacular, with the scenery mainly being the ridgeline. Most of the road is dirt with obvious road conditions and a small part has interesting climbing (some areas require the use of fixed ropes) and steps.

After reaching the top of Eagle Mountain, you can overlook the city of Zhuji. However, this route has some ups and downs, which requires a certain amount of physical strength.

We arrived at the end of the Douyan Scenic Area and drove back at dusk.

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 activities can proceed as usual even if there is light rain. There is still fun to be had on rainy days. 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 a few large models are 53-seat. Each car has a certain proportion of tour leaders to ensure the quality of the event.

Located southwest of Zhuji, Zhejiang, Zhuji Douyan is renowned for its steep Danxia landforms, with its peaks rising like natural brackets. Atop the mountain stands the 81.6-meter-tall Golden Buddha from the Tang Dynasty, and the word "Zen" is engraved on the rock face. The steep mountain blends with Buddhist culture, making it a perfect place for both scenic viewing and Buddhist worship.

Located west of Zhuji City in Zhejiang Province, Laoying Mountain, at an elevation of 329 meters, is the centerpiece of the classic "Seven Flags Crossing" hiking route. Its ridges, steep as flags, require rock climbing and traversing, and winter rime creates a picturesque scene. Along the way, visitors can admire the solemn martyrs' cemetery, blending natural wonders with revolutionary history, making it a perfect challenge for outdoor enthusiasts.
