8 km Short Hiking Route for Beginners: Taojin Mountain - Qiushui Mountain~~

Today's route (February 17, 2025 - Sunny): Taojin Mountain Greenway → Great Wall → Qiushui Mountain Park, 8.8 km hike, a leisurely 3-hour stroll~
If you exclude the distance I walked to the starting point, the entire hiking route is only 5 km. It's a relatively short distance, perfect for hiking beginners~~
!!Also, please forgive my new Huawei phone; the photos are really awful. I can't stand it~~
I've always taken the greenway hiking route here, but today I suddenly felt like taking the mountain path. I didn't expect the mountain path to be so close; it's like taking a shortcut~~Specific route:
Taojin Mountain Greenway (East Entrance) - Viewing Wooden Platform - Camphor Leaf Square - Fitness Square - Cuifeng Square - Mid-mountain Entrance - Qiushui Mountain Summit Square direction - Great Wall - Three Kings Ancient Temple - Longevity Pavilion - Qiushui Mountain Park (North Gate 2) - Qiushui Mountain Residence Hotel;
!!Because it was too early, I didn't go to "Qiushui Mountain Summit Square". If you come later, you can go up and have a look. It's really perfect for watching the sunset and night view! I've been lucky enough to enjoy the night view a few times and have also encountered perfect sunsets~~Transportation:
Outbound: Starting point Taojin Mountain Greenway (East Entrance), the nearest bus stop is "Shawan Bus Terminal", 470 m walk;
Return: Destination Qiushui Mountain Residence Hotel, the nearest bus stop is "Dashiji Shuisanyuan", 200 m walk;
!!Note: This route has some uphill sections with sand and gravel. Although the difficulty is not high, be sure to wear non-slip shoes~~
