Day Hike at the Five Waterfalls of Zhuji
This is the all new 2013 program for Wuxie, our all-time favorite day hike destination near Zhuji. Deeply hidden within the mountains outside of Zhuji is a beautiful nature reserve known as the Five Waterfalls. Although the name suggests 5 waterfalls, in reality there are many more falls hidden within the reserve waiting to be discovered. We’ve added new trails for this program this year, which makes this program perfect for serious hikers who are both first timers and returned participants!

"I am a long time member of the Outing Club, and this was the first hike I did with them several years ago... the one that got me hooked... a nice hike through the trees along the streams - and so close to Shanghai. The organizers are very relaxed and really enjoy the outdoors and nature." - Rita Law
