Hiking Adventures: Two Hidden Trails to Unlock Nature's Beauty



Pingtan North Bay Coastal Trail - Discover East China Sea's Hidden Paradise🌊

Starting Point: North Bay Ecological Corridor
Morning mist gently shrouds North Bay, with golden sparkles dancing on the azure sea. Walking along the wooden boardwalk, waves crash against uniquely shaped reefs as the salty sea breeze caresses your face. The endless ocean stretches to your left, while lush hills rise to your right - every step feels like walking into a therapeutic landscape painting.

Midpoint: Exploring Xianren Well
Passing through an ancient fishing village, drying fishing nets and boats create a cultural tableau. Upon reaching Xianren Well, the 100-meter deep sea-eroded vertical shaft leaves visitors breathless - huge waves thunder at the bottom, rock walls carved into honeycomb patterns, and when sunlight strikes obliquely, the seawater reflects jade-like hues.

Endpoint: Sunset at No.7 Beach
Cross through the tranquil bay to reach the fine sandy beach that stretches to the horizon. At dusk, the orange-red sun sinks into the sea, painting the waves in honey-colored light. Walk barefoot in the waves, build sandcastles, collect shells - time slows to a poem here.

Moska Loop Trail - Enter a Fairytale Village in the Clouds🐾

Location: Below Jinlong Snow Mountain, Danba, Sichuan
Moska Village is like a hidden pearl, where herders coexist with marmots, and stone houses scatter across meadows. The seven-day hike starts from Chengdu, passing through Four Sisters Mountain and Yala Snow Mountain, traversing pristine forests and mountain passes, with snow-capped peaks and sea of clouds surprising you at every turn.

Special Experiences

- Interact with adorable marmots and watch them bow while holding food

- Stay overnight in Tibetan homes, enjoy butter tea and tsampa around the hearth

- Summit the mountain pass for a panoramic view of the "village in clouds," with the Milky Way seemingly within reach
