Around 10:30, we arrived at Jiuxi on the bank of Qiantang River in Hangzhou. We stretched out and set off. We went up from Jiuxi Village and crossed Xizhongxi. We stopped and walked along the way, played in the water and took photos. This is the wild Jiuxi Shibajian. Unknowingly, we arrived at Longjing Village, the birthplace of the famous West Lake Longjing tea.

At noon, find a suitable place in Longjing for a picnic (bring your own dry food, snacks and water, and remember to share).

Entering the quiet valley, overlooking from the Lion Rock Observation Deck, you will enjoy a broad view and a great mood. In the distance are the three Tianzhu Lingyin Temples, which are full of Zen.

We arrived at [Shili Langyao] around 14:30. The view here is great. It is so magnificent to see the distant view from a high place. We should take a group photo here!!!

After passing Wenbi Peak, we will reach Wuyun Mountain (Zhenji Temple). When we get here, we must take a photo under the ancient ginkgo tree (over 1,400 years old).

Then we descended all the way to Yunqi Bamboo Path, a very quiet place with towering ancient trees and the beautiful bamboo paths of Hangzhou.

We arrived at the end of the hike around 4:30 PM. The bus had been waiting for us for a long time, so we boarded and headed back to Shanghai.

We returned to Shanghai around 19:30. Everyone was still reluctant to leave and said goodbye with tears in their eyes!!!

Driving time: Shanghai to Jiuxi, about 3.5 hours

Nine Creeks and Eighteen Streams: Located in the mountains west of West Lake, a famous scenic spot in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, the Nine Creeks and Eighteen Streams meander for 7 kilometers from Longjing to the Qiantang River. The waters of the Nine Creeks originate from Yangmeiling and merge with the streams of Qingwan, Hongfa, Fangjia, Foshi, Baizhang, Tangjia, Xiaokang, Yunqi, and Zhutou along the way. They are called the Nine Creeks because they flow through green mountains and valleys and merge with countless small streams.
