About this activity
In the morning, depart form Hangzhou and arrive in Xiakou Village, Lin’an.
Here we hop onto a local tour coach bound for the Hui’hang Scenic Reserve – roughly half an hour later you’ll arrive before a great archway with Chinese characters reading Lin’an District ‘Huihang Ancient Path’ Scenic Reserve - the ancient path we’ll be following on this tour.
Pass under the archway and through Yonglai Cun Village to take your first steps onto the crawling mountainside path of Huihang Ancient Path at around noon.
An opening in the mountains reveals to us the feature location of the Ancient Path – a place known as ‘Lantian’ao’. Sitting 1050 meters above sea level, Liantian’ao takes its name from the appearance of the mountains which gape apart on either side of this tiny settlement.
Here hikers can find a moment’s refuge and a hot bowl of noodles at the ‘Jiang’nan No. 1’ Noodle House.
Fed and watered, we return to the trail. From here it’s downhill – the path will take us by the Upper and Lower ‘Snowhall’ resting posts and the houses of local farmers.
Residents commonly provide journeying hikers with water, fruit, and assorted local snacks.
By around 16:30 we will have arrived at the most breathtaking run of the Ancient Pass– the ‘First Pass Under Heaven’.
The First Pass section of the Old Road is a wriggling slabstone path, carved directly into the face of the mountain cliffs that hang above the deep gaping chasm of the valley below. Here you can hear the babbling of distant streams and see the flying whitewater of distant mountain waterfalls.
Coming down from the pass, we have now reached the end of the 12 kilometers of Huihang Ancient Path.
At 21:00 we will return to Hangzhou.
