About this activity
7:00-7:30 The small group meet up at the Hangzhou West Lake Cultural Square branch of the Agricultural Bank of China, sign in and board the coach bound for Tiantai County.
10:30 (approx.) Arriving at Tiantai we will transfer to a light shuttle that brings us to a small village on the entrance to the Ancient Path. This marks the start of our journey on foot. The path begins with an uphill slant. Walk and photograph, and rest on the archaic bridges or pavilion gazebos that dot the path. Roughly 1.5 hours into the hike we reach the mountain apex, which has lookout platforms, ancient twisted trees and the temple of the Buddhist ‘Robin Hood’ – Jigong. We’ll take a rest here on this far-flung mountaintop.
12:00 (approx.) When everyone is ready to move on, we’ll continue onto the downward trail where surrounding scenery will change drastically. Looking down off the trail you’ll see a distant huddle of old village buildings, surrounding them – the rising tiers of the Huangtan terraced rice paddies. Resembling the ‘Dragon’s Spine’ (Longji) terraced fields of Guilin, this is truly a feast for the eyes. Start to finish, the hike will take roughly five hours – slightly less than the Huihang Ancient Path.
16:00 (approx.) Exit the Path and board our return coach.
21:00 Return to Hangzhou West Lake Cultural Square to complete the tour.
