Wild Childhood Walk | Oolong Ancient Trail + Badoujia One-Day Adventure

Who would have thought! In Huzhou, I discovered a treasure route that lets you experience both the healing power of the wild and the romantic ginkgo trees at the same time! The serene hike on the Oolong Ancient Trail + the golden fairy tale of Badoujia, two ultimate experiences in one day, fully immersing you in the autumn and winter atmosphere～ ✨【Oolong Ancient Trail: A Hidden Healing Sanctuary in the Mountains】 The entire trail is 8km, moderately difficult, easy for beginners to handle! Walk along the bluestone path uphill, flanked by dense bamboo forests and towering ancient trees. Sunlight filters through the leaves, casting dappled shadows, and when the wind blows, you hear the natural white noise of rustling leaves, instantly healing all fatigue. Along the way, you’ll pass several viewing platforms. From high above, you can overlook the rolling mountains, and when mist swirls, it looks like a fairyland. Every shot is a forest-themed masterpiece📸 It’s recommended to wear non-slip sports shoes, bring water and snacks, and take breaks to enjoy the scenery. The focus is on a relaxed hiking experience～ 🍂【Badoujia: The Golden Corridor of Autumn】 After finishing the ancient trail, head straight to Badoujia, known as the “Hometown of Ginkgo in the World.” Every November, it turns into a fairy tale! Stroll along the ginkgo corridor, where ancient ginkgo trees with lush branches line both sides. The golden leaves cover the ground, soft underfoot, like walking on a golden carpet. It’s best to enter the mountain around 9 AM and slowly walk until about 2-3 PM to reach Badoujia. The ginkgo trees under the sunset look even gentler, and the light is perfect for photos. Any pose looks great! Remember to wear light-colored clothes to contrast beautifully with the golden ginkgo leaves! If you have extra time, visit the Ancient Ginkgo Park to see the thousand-year-old ginkgo king and feel the passage of time～ 📝【Practical Tips】 1️⃣ Transportation: Self-driving is recommended. Navigate to “Oolong Ancient Trail Entrance,” park, and start hiking. The big loop trail passes through Badoujia and ends back at the parking spot (the last image shows the big loop map). 2️⃣ Time: It’s best to start before 9 AM, hike for 3-4 hours, spend the afternoon at Badoujia, and then take about 1 hour to return to the parking spot, just in time for sunset. 3️⃣ Tickets: Oolong Ancient Trail is free. If you do the big loop, Badoujia also has no entrance fee. 4️⃣ Notes: There is a big temperature difference in the mountains during autumn and winter, so bring a jacket; take sun protection and mosquito repellent measures; protect the environment and don’t litter～ This autumn, don’t just go to crowded popular spots! Come to Oolong Ancient Trail and Badoujia, empty your mind in the wild, and fully embrace the autumn season～
