"Zhijin Cave Route" Come to Hangzhou and we will teach you how to climb mountains like this. You will never regret it.
Tianzhu Mountain in Hangzhou has the highest altitude, 412 meters. As soon as you start breathing, you will have the experience of "overlooking the West Lake" and have a strong sense of accomplishment. Although the mountains around West Lake are not high, they all have their own origins. You must have heard the legend that Feilai Peak is the Lingjiu Peak that flew from India. Therefore, climbing all the way up is the connotation.
The mountains in Hangzhou are not for ascetics to temper their will. On the contrary, the mountains are filled with beautiful things. Homestay, teahouse, coffee shop. The owner has been guarding the mountain all year round, and he has a lot of interesting things to say. Outdoor sports and fitness also bring unexpected gains. And those mountains are all in the city, so you can take the bus home after going down the mountain.
Route 1: Yuquan Campus of Zhejiang University - Laohe Mountain - Jiangjun Mountain - Lingfeng Mountain - Guoziding - Beifeng - Lingyinmen, climbing time: 2 hours.
The essence of this route is that it starts from the famous Zhejiang University, passes through the North Peak of the famous mountain, and finally reaches the scenic spot Lingyin.
The North Peak is the top, which is a bit exaggerated. "There are hundreds of stone steps here and 36 twists and turns of the bay." The North Peak has 3,000 steps and is actually more than 300 meters above sea level. In "Memories of the West Lake", Zhang Dai described Beifeng this way: "This place is surrounded by mountains, and the lake is full of mirrors. Viewed from the top, there are songs and boats, and gulls appear like smoke and waves. Although they are far away, they are only reflections."< /p>
At the top of the North Peak, there is the Temple of Wealth, the Ancient Clock and the TV Tower. On the way up the mountain, you can buy a piece of wealth cake worth 6 yuan to comfort yourself, as if you will get rich the next moment after eating it.
Sister Lychee from Beifengxia Tea Farm picked up several Masson pine macrospores from the ground and put them in white environmentally friendly bags. She said they would look great on the bar. No one remembers her real name, because the two sisters opened a two-bedroom B&B "Lizhi" at the foot of the mountain, and everyone habitually called her "Sister Litchi" and "Sister Litchi". My sister often goes to the mountains to pick up dead branches and leaves. After trimming and bottling, it’s a beautiful interior.
Go down the mountain in the direction of Lingyin and go straight into Lingyin Scenic Area. There is a fee. The wonderful thing about Lingyin Temple is that it has never been just a tourist destination for outsiders. Local people are also its believers, so it has a very local flavor. The person who was introducing it to a friend spoke in Hangzhou dialect: "The Feng Shui here is very good, so the incense is very prosperous. Lingyin Temple is the mouth of the dragon."
After going down the mountain, on your right side, you will find a Big tea garden. The Hangzhou Writers Association has an unknown office here, which is extremely quiet. Further ahead is Baileqiao, one of the birthplaces of BB in Hangzhou, where lychees are located. It is a self-contained place in Baileqiao where B&Bs are clustered. There are two rooms and a dining table. "Don't prepare food if you have something to eat."
Route 2: Broken Bridge - Baoshi Mountain - Geling - Ziyun Cave - Paipai Mountain - Wushi Peak - Quyuanfeng River, climbing time: 2 hours.
This hiking route is basically a tour of Beishan Road from a high altitude. Beishan Road on the ground is the memory of the Republic of China, such as Chiang Ching-kuo's former residence, Starbucks and McDonald's, Xinxin Hotel, Qiushui Villa, and Baoqing Villa, while the mountain road is the most beautiful mountain road in Hangzhou, suitable for dates.
We call it Gemstone Mountain, mostly because the night view is super beautiful and as colorful as gemstones. The real name of the mountain can be traced back to the early Five Dynasties period, the Southern Song Dynasty. Volume 23 of "Xian Chun Lin'an Chronicle" says: "Jushi Mountain, there are two meteorites in the north, Qian Shouxing boulders. The famous mountain." The landmark building of West Lake - Bao_ The tower was also built during a similar period. It is as slender and tall as a beauty, echoing Leifeng Pagoda from a distance, just like an old lady looking at each other across the lake.
In front of the West Lake, facing the pagoda, is Liu Jiazhuang's house, one of the four elephants and eight oxen in Nanxun. Of course, outsiders without knowledge cannot see this. The original Osmanthus Hall, pond and rockery no longer exist, but now they are used by many ho
Furthermore, Ge Ling is full of fantasy and is said to be the place where Ge Hong wrote books and refined elixirs. There are still ruins such as Gexian Temple, Liudan Valley, Huandan Ancient Well, and Baopuzi Road.
Some people say that there are gods here, which makes sense. I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or not, but Sydney, who always wears white clothes, has opened a very fancy hotel here - Qixia Zhuxiao. It was selected as one of the six most beautiful B&Bs in China by the "Tian Tian Shang Shang" program team. You don't have to stay. Just have a sip of tea, look at the flowers and plants in Sydney, overlook the West Lake, and take a photo of the broken bridge and snow.
Baoshan is full of childlike interest from east to west, often passing through many "caves", such as Ziyun Cave, Qixia Cave, etc., which is like exploring.
If you pass through Niugao Tomb and Wushi Peak and walk back 30 meters to the southwest, you will see Qu Yuan Fenglian. Cherry blossoms in spring and lotus flowers in summer are all used for taking a nap.
Route 3: Li Jilong - Longjing Mountain - Qipan Mountain - Tianma Mountain - Qingji - Tea Museum, climbing time: 2.5 hours.
During the tea-picking season, I walked around the tea garden of Radisson Longjing Manor and climbed up the mountain without knowing it. This place is called Li Jilong, located in Shuangfeng Village, right in the middle of West Lake, Lingyin Temple, Longjing, and Manjuelong. The name alone gives off a sense of seclusion of a "warm and distant village".
On the way up, I saw the tombs of Xu Xilin, Ma and Chen Boping, three people with lofty ideals. On the left hand side, there are deep forests and graceful trees, with the graceful southern tree style painted by Wu Guanzhong. I listened carefully to the names of the bus stops I passed by: Nan Tianzhu and Longjing Temple.
In Hangzhou, you must cross those hills with stories.
The tea gardens are full of green eyes
Hangzhou’s large and small attractions all have one thing in common: in addition to being must-see places for tourists, they are also places for locals to relax and play. . The same is true for the famous Longjing. Outside the "Eighteen Emperors Tea" garden enclosed by railings, a private car with a Zhejiang A license plate is parked. They all have designated tea farmers. At this time of the year, when you buy tea and eat a "free" farm meal, spring is really here.
When the temperature rises, stop for a cup of tea. Sitting on the balcony on the top floor overlooking Hangzhou, a city with mountains and lakes. Tianma Mountain is the Wulaofeng on the left and the Wulaofeng on the right. A little further southeast is the South Peak. The sparkling West Lake is not small when far away, nor is it small when close. From this angle, West Lake looks like a small pool.
I asked the tea farmer what the red roof was, it was the Tea Museum! said the tea farmer.
The road from Longjing to the gentle steps is long but has a gentle slope. Rather than climbing a mountain, it is a good place for walking and chatting. After climbing Qipan Mountain, turn north to Tianma Mountain, rest on the mountain 275 meters above sea level, and enjoy the scenery. After crossing Qingji Mountain, there are newly paved steps all the way, so it is not difficult.
Qingji is what tea farmers call a tea museum. Writer Wang Xufeng has deep feelings for Hangzhou. There is a book "A Walk in the West Lake", which sorts out the twists and turns of Hangzhou's beautiful scenery. She has worked at the Tea Museum for several years. In her impression, all national-level domestic and foreign guests will come to the Tea Expo, and her own friends will also visit.
Route 4: Jiaoqi - Laohe Mountain - Jiangjun Mountain - Beauty Mountain - Lingfeng Mountain - Ruiyun Mountain - Zhuangyuan Peak - North Peak - Beauty Peak - Longmen Mountain - Shirenting - Baiyun Peak - Lion Cage - Tianmen Mountain - Langdang Ridge - Wuyun Mountain (Zhenji Temple) - Jiuxi Linhai Pavilion - Dahua Mountain - Hupaohou Mountain (Guiren Pavilion)
Mountain climbing time: 8 hours
This is The classic West Lake trail. Although the mountains in Hangzhou are all "mountains", even an 8-hour hike is tough enough. Especially in the middle, there is a long section of "Ten Miles and More Waves" - limestone, which is the highest and longest peak in West Lake. Although the horizon is broad, walking is not easy.
On Wuyun Mountain, when you walk, you seem to be swimming in the green sea. When you meet tourists or villagers who come here to exercise, you nod even though you don’t recognize them. Later I learned that most of them went up the mountain from the Yunqi Bamboo Trail, one of the ten new scenic spots in the West Lake. Yunzhu Trail is known as "green, clear, cool and quiet", but it is also a paradise because it is slightly deviated from the main attractions in Hangzhou. It is densely covered with bamboo forests, giving people a cleaner, deeper and fairy-like feeling.
Climbing up, although the altitude is rising, it has the visual sense of the movie "Little Forest": "There are no shops here, and the journey is basically downhill. It takes about half an hour to ride a bicycle, but it takes How long? If not too long, would you walk for an hour and a half?"
