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!
