2 Day Trek at the Five Waterfalls of Zhuji
This is an extended version of our all-time favorite hike at the Five Waterfalls in Zhejiang province. Deeply hidden within the mountains just outside of Zhuji is a beautiful nature reserve known as the Wuxie, which translates into “Five Waterfalls”. Although the name suggests “five waterfalls”, in reality, there is much to be discovered within the reserve off the designated tourist path. On this trip, we will spend one day within the reserve, uncovering the hidden treasures which no other tourists have stepped foot on. On the second day, we will hike the mountain paths outside of the reserve for spectacular views of the vicinity. This trip is for serious hikers who are prepared to walk 4 - 6 hours a day over the two day period.
