Dingshan Pegasus Line | Conquer the Rocky Beauty and Reach the Summit of Dingshan

Day 1 Shanghai → Wuxi → Dingshan → Shanghai

All day

07:30-07:45 Meet at the designated location of China-TravelNote and sign in. Depart at 07:45 sharp, enjoy interactive activities and itinerary introductions on board, and have fun all the way!

We arrived at the village at the foot of Dingshan Mountain around 10:45, had lunch in time, got off the bus to warm up, and then formed a team to go up the mountain.

90% of the Pegasus Trail is off-road, with a complex terrain (dirt, dirt, rock, gravel, asphalt, bamboo, and thickets). The dirt roads are dusty, and the gravel roads are tough on shoes. 60% of the trail is shaded, so the sun protection factor is relatively low. Several sections involve walking through low bamboo thickets, so wearing a jacket and gloves is essential. There are also fallen tree stumps on the ground, and there are many stepped ups and downs in the woods, so be sure to pay attention to safety.

If you are traveling with multiple people, you need to keep some distance between the above sections to avoid dust and stones.

Check-in point:

The open space before the uphill section at Qianmatui, 80m above sea level (viewing the bamboo sea and Mount Yu in the distance)

Climb 180m up the Matou Mountain to the rocky slope of the Beauty Rock

Dingxin Stone (from the Xiakexing Gate to the top of Dingshan Mountain)

Dingshan Eye (passing Dingxin Stone and heading uphill to the top of Dingshan, suitable for couples to take photos together)

Dingshan Peak (273m above sea level, 360-degree panoramic view)

Asphalt road downhill from the top of Dingshan Mountain

The gravel road going downhill on horseback to Mawei (full of Gobi desert feeling, overlooking Huaxi Village)

We will reach the end point around 16:00, return to the hiking destination, take a brief rest and replenish supplies, then get on the bus back to Shanghai.

Arrived at the departure point in Shanghai around 19:00, reluctant to leave, kissed goodbye with tears!!

Driving time: One way driving time is about 3 hours

Hiking: 10km of hiking, 8km of which is the Pegasus map, with several sections requiring rope climbing. 2km is the round trip from the starting point to the bus stop, with a total elevation gain of about 610 meters (data from two steps)

Note: There are no supplies or toilets along the Pegasus Line. It is recommended to bring plenty of water and food.
It is recommended to bring hiking poles and non-slip gloves.

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.

Dingshan is the highest mountain in Jiangyin. Since the Dingshan Trail at its southwest foot was opened this year, more than a thousand people have visited the mountain every weekend.

Dingshan has become a treasure trove for outdoor hiking for people in Jiangyin. The Dingshan trail is about 6 kilometers long. It starts at the foot of the southwest side of Dingshan and reaches the first peak of Dingshan.
