| Brutal·Thrilling·Niche Beauty. Zhangli Ancient Trail Hiking Guide | Brutal·Thrilling·Niche Beauty🌿|||This weekend, I embarked on a 'close encounter with nature' hiking trip with Scarecrow: Walking towards the mountains on an undisturbed bamboo trail🎋, taking in the high mountain villages, cliff faces, cascading waterfalls, bamboo forest stone paths... all in sight; together with fellow hikers, we experienced the diverse scenery of the secluded bamboo forest, listened to the white noise of the wind blowing through the bamboo, conversed with nature and ourselves step by step, slowly returning to inner peace, listening to the voice from deep within. Despite the nearly 30℃ scorching summer heat being quite brutal🥵, completing the journey brought a satisfying sense of exhilaration👍🏻. Zhangli Ancient Trail loop hiking, whether for beginners or for those seeking a challenge, is worth a try❗ 📍【Navigation】: Zhejiang Province, Huzhou City, Anji County, Zhangli Village Committee 🚶🏻‍♀️【Starting Point】: To the right of the 【Pine Tree】 at the three-way junction of the Village Committee, follow the 【red, yellow, and green colored markings】 on the ground to the 【route sign】 of Zhangli Ancient Trail, and that's the starting point of the trail. 🗺️【Route】: There are large and small loops on the trail. 【Large Loop】13.5KM, with an ascent of about 700M 【Small Loop】8KM, with an ascent of about 400M ⚠️ 【Family】 and hiking 【Beginners】 are recommended to take the small loop; some sections can be done on roads or wild paths: 【Wild Paths】 have a larger ascent but are more interesting, 【Roads】 are sunnier but stable and easy to walk, choose according to your own situation. 🎫【Ticket】: Free 🥤【Supplies Along the Way】: The locals are very considerate❗Basically, there are 【chilled drinks, ice pops, fruits】 available at every rest stop (some are unattended, take goods by scanning a QR code on an honor system), so it's best to travel light. ☕【Ancient Shore Coffee】: Located below Yunlong Waterfall❗The coffee shop is divided into an indoor air-conditioned room and an outdoor viewing platform, with a great view of the mountains below on a clear day (you don't know how happy you are to see it when you're about to collapse at the end of a hot summer day). Coffee can be ordered online, with a variety of options, and the 【check-in】 looks great; there's a 【parking lot】 right at the door (there's a stretch of road to the foot of the mountain, you can take a taxi here if you can't walk anymore). 📝【Note】: 1️⃣It is recommended to wear 【long-sleeved sun protection clothing】 to avoid mosquito bites, scratches, and sunburn, and bring 【mosquito repellent】. 2️⃣There is almost no shade on the road sections, so pay attention to 【sun protection】. 3️⃣Some sections of the ancient trail are difficult to walk, with loose stones and muddy paths, so bring 【hiking poles】【knee protectors】 to prevent slipping and ensure safety. 4️⃣During the 【rainy season】, the water flow of the waterfalls will be larger and more spectacular.
