Don't leave your youth in regret, a hike on the ancient Wu-Yue trail to the Zhejiang West Tianchi

I decided to go to Zhejiang West Tianchi while eating hot pot at night, afraid of my own hesitation, I set off from Shanghai at four thirty in the morning. The hiking route of the ancient Wu-Yue trail starts from Xuancheng, Anhui to Lin'an, Hangzhou, Zhejiang West Tianchi. After the snow, many roads on the ancient trail are icy and very slippery. When I was walking on the single-plank bridge, one foot slipped into the stream. Fortunately, I brought spare socks. As I walked, my ice claws also fell off, and I fell three times along the way. Because I had to rush down the mountain before dark, I didn't stop much on the way. The scenery in the mountains is like a fairy tale world❄️ The few hours of descending the mountain are more difficult, because in addition to the ice, there is also mud, and the road is very difficult to walk, but I still persisted with my fellow travelers. I arrived home at nine forty in the evening, which is also a special forces journey. Life is about breaking through oneself time and time again! I have summarized some questions that everyone is more concerned about: 1: If you hike up the mountain, it is recommended to wear a three-in-one fleece. The process of climbing the mountain is really hot. I didn't use the warm baby and warm hand treasure I brought, but the Tianchi here is colder, so the three-in-one is the most suitable. It is recommended to bring a pair of gloves so that your hands will not easily freeze when taking pictures here in Tianchi. 2: The key point is that ice claws and trekking poles must be brought, and the ice claws should be bought with both front and back, which is more firm. I bought only the front foot for beauty, and it fell off after not walking for a long time. The road surface is very slippery after the snow, especially when going down the mountain. If you don't have ice claws, you will definitely fall! 3: Because the snow melted quickly on sunny days these days, the ground is all mud, so you must wear high-top hiking shoes or waterproof shoes, otherwise it is easy to splash mud into the shoes. I saw a little brother by the lake, one foot sank into the mud, and after pulling it out, the shoes were filled with mud. I also washed my shoes in the stream for a long time that day. In short, if you don't wear high-top shoes, it will make you quite uncomfortable. 4: Be sure to bring a pair of spare socks in case you get your feet wet like me and can change them. 5: There is no grocery store on the mountain. It is recommended to bring two bottles of water and some snacks and dry food. Bring your own garbage bags and refuse to add burden to the scenic environment. 6: For novice Xiaobai, this route is quite tiring. Try not to drive by yourself after hiking, take a day off.
