Overview of approximate itinerary:
From Chou-heung to hiking, from Luohan Mountain to Gejiawu pine forest. If you go in spring and autumn, you can taste more wild fruits, and this section of the road is basically a dirt mountain road. Pay more attention to your feet when going uphill. Then go to the top hat and go to Zhuwuling. From the top of the hat, you can see the scenery at the foot of the mountain. Continue to climb the mountain to reach the misty peak. There are many shrubs and grass slopes in the upper part of the mountain, a mixed forest of pine trees and broad-leaved trees in the middle part of the mountain, and fruit trees and tea trees in the lower part of the mountain. At this time, it's nearly noon, so you can enjoy delicious food to replenish energy in the pavilion of Yanxia Peak. If the weather permits, you can also watch the clouds surrounded by mountains and enjoy the misty and sunny haze, with a panoramic view of 36,000 hectares of lakes and mountains. After enjoying the perfect food and taking a short rest, enter Wu Qili along the mountain road, go down the mountain over Wu Qili, enter Xici and Dongci villages, and bypass Shangyouling along the mountainside of Wu Yang. You can also take a second rest in the middle of Shangyouling to replenish water, see plants and chat with your teammates. Then you can continue to visit Yali Village down the mountain and feel the village culture. Then you can go to the mountainside of Pinglongshan to see the overall style of the village, and then you can go down to Shidun in Ming Dynasty.
Hiking conditions: Tushan Road (Luohanwu, Luohanshan and Gejiawu sections), slate step road, cement road (dimly discernible peak section) and Yeshan Road (Wu Qili section) are combined into one. The route is not difficult, but it is relatively long and consumes physical strength.
Food focus:
As there are no commodities available on the hiking trip, it is still necessary to prepare some dry food and drinks in advance. There are also some farmhouse snack bars and some supermarkets in the scenic area, which can provide food, snacks and daily necessities. It is suggested that you can eat something to replenish energy in the farmhouse restaurant after hiking.
