Day Hike in Zhuji
Another hike route around Five Waterfalls area in Zhuji but this time we explore another part. We will hike along a trail to the South Gate of Five Waterfalls and then into the Scenic Area by boat, enjoying the beautiful reservoir followed by visiting an old Buddhism temple and Eastern Valley. It's a new route in 2016 and think it'll be as popular as our old Five Waterfalls hike trip!

Trip feedback
"The Zhuji trip was a nice get away from the city. Beautiful forests and hills and strenuous hiking up hill. We all sweated but enjoyed the work-out. Walking down the slippery steps (because of the rain) was no fun, but we got rewarded by the ferry ride with beautiful views of the foggy mountains. And last not least great company." - Wibke Stegemeier
