I regret not discovering this hiking and stream tracing route in Nanjing sooner.

I never imagined that there would be such an excellent forest hiking oxygen bar hidden behind Zijin Mountain. The mountains undulate along the way, with towering ancient trees, streams, and few people, as if you are exploring in a primeval forest. 🚶 The hiking and stream tracing route here is quite long, about 8 km in total. 🌦️ It is recommended to hike after the rain, when the streams in the valley are gurgling and full of fun. We visited during a period of sunny days, and the stream was a little scarce. We plan to visit again after the rain next time. 📍 Location: Back of Zijin Mountain, Hongshi Valley 🚇 Transportation: Exit 2 of Wangjiawan subway station on subway Line 4 📝 [Hiking and Stream Tracing Route] Exit 2 of Wangjiawan subway station ➡ Turn left and cross the wide lawn ➡ Go uphill through the woods ➡ You can see clear streams along the way ➡ Arrive at Hongshi Valley ➡ Climb a steep slope ➡ To Toutuo Ridge ➡ Descend from Jiangwang Temple 🔔 [Tips] ① The entire route is shaded by trees, so there is no need to worry about sun exposure. ② It is recommended to bring hiking poles and wear comfortable sneakers. ③ Pack light, just bring water and mosquito repellent.
