Day 1 Hangzhou → Zhuji → Hangzhou

All day

07:00-07:30|Gather at Huanglong Seafood Stall for check-in

Arrive at Zhaojia Town at 9:30 AM
and walk through a Torreya grandis forest. The exposed roots of the Torreya grandis trees resemble dragons and snakes

as you journey through dense, millennia-old Torreya grandis forests. The tree
trunks are mottled with moss, and you might even encounter a squirrel or thrush. The popular cliff is a great photo spot, but beware of the steep descent. A wooden trestle crosses the stream. A cherry supply station is located at the finish line, and a finisher medal will be engraved with a Torreya grandis tree totem


. At the end of the event, we recommend visiting the 1,380-year-old "King of Torreya Grandis" or experiencing the Zhaojia Town Farmhouse Inn (specialty meals include Torreya grandis tofu and cherry jam).


This route is a fast entry route with relatively good road conditions, making it the perfect choice for those who are looking to get started quickly!

Driving time: 1.5 hours

Hiking: Loop route, today's hike is 21km, with an ascent of about 1,320 meters.

Note: The drive is short and does not stop at any service areas along the way, but goes directly to the starting point of the hike.

Ancient Torreya grandis clusters on Kuaiji Mountain

A globally important agricultural heritage site, it boasts tens of thousands of thousand-year-old Torreya grandis trees, their twisted branches forming a "forest sculpture complex." On spring mornings, misty mornings see the new buds of Torreya grandis dancing alongside cherry blossoms. National Geographic China has dubbed it "East China's Last Secret."

Zhaojia Town

Known as the "Millennium Torreya Township", it relies on the Torreya grandis forest to create a four-season tourism IP of "cherry blossom viewing in spring, summer heat escape, Torreya grandis tasting in autumn, and snow hiking in winter". With a mature homestay cluster and ancient trail system, it is a new check-in destination for outdoor enthusiasts in the Yangtze River Delta.
