What to expect
Our hiking route is very secluded, taking us through local tea gardens; past Zhangren Guan, the true birthplace of Taoism; and further into the deep mountains, where we will pass Yuqing Palace, home to a magnificent jade artifact, amidst the sounds of village life. The final touch to this hike is the Yuanming Palace, nestled among centuries-old Phoebe zhennan trees, a secluded and unique haven offering distant views of the bustling Qingcheng Mountain!
As you finish your hike and descend, you'll find that we emerge from the back gate of a residential area, giving you the feeling of a day in the mountains being like a thousand years in the world.
In addition, we will also explore the many local delicacies, which will be our homework before returning!

Reviews
Our guide was very kind and helpful, walking us along the trail and giving us the main information about the places we passed through. It was really an enjoyable day and we also ate well :) 100% recommended!
They picked us up from the hotel. The car was comfortable. We took a walk, the path had inclines and stairs, so it was challenging at times. We did Tai Chi. Lunch was too authentic for our taste. The tea wasn't impressive either.
