Classic 2 Days Hiking Trip in Jiangshan Countryside
This is one overnight trip that features the nature and historical wonders hidden deep in the interior city of Jiangshan in Zhejiang Province. On day one we will hike along the ancient Xianxia Caravan Trail. Located deep in the Chong Shan Mountains, this trail was first built by general Huang Gou for the invasion of Fujian during the Tang Dynasty in around 878 AD, but had gradually became a caravan trail for traders between the two provinces. The total length of the original trail was about 120 kilometers, up until 1932, this was the only path connecting Zhejiang and Fujian. Now much of the trail has disappeared due to new roads built. We’ll do a 13K trek on the remains of this ancient trail from Xiaoganling Village, where the ancient passes still exists.On day two, we’ll head to a nice guesthouse, surrounded by a beautiful reservoir and hike from the mountain behind to off-the-beaten path, passing some small hidden villages with very few tourists.
