The Xiao Dongjiang River is even more charming after the rain

Nine years ago, when I first visited Xiao Dongjiang, cars could drive straight in, but this time, it has become a standard tourist area process! At the entrance, everyone takes a shuttle bus, and right at the first stop, there's a net-casting performance. However, the first stop is the most crowded, as most tour groups disembark there to watch the net casting and then walk to the second stop to continue their journey; so I suggest that we, the free travelers, also get off at the first stop, but there's no need to jostle for a spot with the uncles and aunties. Instead, we can walk along the Xiao Dongjiang to the second stop, take the shuttle bus to the fourth stop, where there's also net casting, and it's much less crowded, no tour groups, the scenery is beautiful and peaceful 😃 After watching the net casting, continue on the shuttle bus to the final stop, Longjing Gorge, and start a solo hike through the gorge. All the tour groups and most of the tourists only stay on the lower level to see one or two waterfalls, so as I climb higher, there are fewer and fewer people, but the waterfalls in the mountains become more and more spectacular, and without the hustle and bustle of the crowd below, that's when you truly appreciate the beauty of Longjing Gorge! But after enjoying the beautiful scenery, comes a painful climb! The route in the scenic area is designed as a loop, so there's no turning back! Charge on! It's also good, it only takes ten minutes to reach the top, and then you can overlook the misty dam from the mountain peak, enjoying the view and getting enough exercise for the day! Comfortable!
