Day 1 Ningbo → Zhejiang and Sichuan → Shangxuetang
All day
07:00-7:30 Gather at the south gate of Ningbo Yager Stadium for check-in and departure. Along the way, the team leader introduced the itinerary and precautions in the car, and everyone laughed and talked all the way.
Around 11:00, we arrived at Zhejitian, Zhechuan Village, Lin'an (if you need to eat, you can arrange a farm stay at about 50 yuan per person).
After getting off the bus and warming up, we set off along the village path and passed the ancient archway.
The Huihang Ancient Road was first built in the Tang Dynasty and has a history of more than 1,000 years. It is the third famous ancient road in China after the "Silk Road" and the "Tea-Horse Ancient Road". It has played a huge political, economic and cultural role in history.
It is a corridor that combines natural scenery and mysterious culture, and is the first ancient road in East China. It is also an ancient Huizhou merchant road with profound cultural connotations, preserving numerous ancient villages, ancient checkpoints, ancient stone roads, ancient bridges, ancient tea pavilions, and ancient trees.
Around 16:30, we stopped along the way to enjoy the scenery; we came to a farmhouse, had a meal and chatted. The night in the mountains was particularly quiet, with occasional barking of dogs and shining stars. It was a good time to rest.
2nd Tianshangxuetang → Longchuan → Ningbo
All day
In the early morning, smoke from cooking rises, insects chirp, and birds sing. It feels especially cool when you wake up early, so you can get up and wash up!
After breakfast at the farmhouse at 8:00, we set off to continue our ancient trail journey. Along the way, we followed the ancient trail along the mountains and the scenery on both sides was breathtaking.
Around 12:00, we arrived at the first pass in Jiangnan. This is the core section of the Huihang Ancient Road. The stone plank road carved out of the thousand-meter cliff is magnificent.
Walking on the ancient road, you can see the crystal clear water in the canyon, sometimes crystal clear, sometimes emerald green, with various changes and colorful. The strange rocks and beautiful water in the canyon, and the majestic and dangerous ancient road complement each other to form a natural landscape painting.
We will pass through Longchuan Village, Jixi, Anhui Province around 12:30. Everyone can arrange lunch or a car rental nearby and return at the appropriate time.
We returned to Ningbo around 17:00, ending our Huihang trip.
