｜Attached is the beginner route. I am about to enter my fifth year living in Hangzhou, and I am still moved by its spring. Especially in the morning when you stroll on the tea mountain, you can hear the wind blowing, the birds singing, and the tea pickers chatting. There is also the fragrance of camphor flowers in the wind, the surface of West Lake emerging from the mountains in the distance...all of this is so touching. This private tea mountain hiking route of mine takes in the essence of Shili Langyao and overlooks Longjing Village. The entire route is less than 5 kilometers long and is very suitable for beginners or those with children (the route is at P7, P8, and P9). You must take this route when you come to Hangzhou. Route: Faxi Temple → Fanyin Pavilion → Sanfencha → Meijiawu Village The whole journey is about 4.5 kilometers, with a climb of 194 meters, and takes 1.5-2 hours. It is not a knee-breaking walk and is definitely easy, but you can see all the best views. Starting point - Faxi Temple It is accessible by multiple means of transportation. It is both the starting point and a tourist attraction. It opens at 6:00 and reservations can be made in advance. After entering the temple, climb the stairs on the left to the top scenic spot. It takes about an hour to complete the tour. The starting point of the mountain is 250 meters away from Faxi Temple, and the specific location is marked on P7. You can also go to the Fanyin Pavilion behind Faxi Temple and then just follow the navigation. Highlights of the route: Fanyinting → Sanfencha I want to say something...

The lobby has a faint rose essential oil scent, and the entire hotel has a strong "Greentown luxury style": all the hardware materials are visibly high-end. Just 200 meters from the Rose Garden is Meiling South Road. Along Meiling South Road, you can cycle or take bus 103, passing Yunqi Bamboo Trail and Meijiawu Tea Village all the way to Faxi Temple. From Faxi Temple, you can also walk to the scenic Shili Langdang. There are many tea mountains along the way, I love this section.

Guys, don't squeeze into crowds during the Qingming holiday! This time, I've discovered a treasure trove for hiking in Hangzhou. I was surprised to find such a beautiful place hidden in Hangzhou! Qingming is the season for picking Mingqian Longjing tea. Walking here, you'll see tea farmers busily picking tea all over the mountains, unfolding a peaceful and idyllic scene, giving you a sense of paradise. Hiking along the mountain path for half a day, breathing in the fresh air filled with the fragrance of tea, you'll feel completely relaxed. Moreover, when you reach the top of the mountain, the view suddenly opens up, and you can see the beautiful scenery of Hangzhou city and West Lake. The shock and surprise are really hard to describe! Spring and tea mountains are a perfect match, and the lush green seems to condense the vitality of spring here. ✅Hiking route recommendation: Starting from Longjing Village, embark on the winding path of the Shili Langdang, shuttle through the lush tea mountains along the way, feel the gentle touch of nature, and finally arrive at Meijiawu to experience the authentic tea culture and rural life. This route has a moderate difficulty and the scenery along the way is beautiful. Both hiking beginners and experienced hikers can gain a lot. Walking on this route, you can take atmospheric photos at your fingertips. The tender green tea buds, the scattered tea ridges, the distant mountains and the looming city outline complement each other, and every frame can capture the beauty of spring. If you also want to take advantage of spring to find a place to relax, get close to nature, then don't miss this hiking route. Come and feel the different beauty of Hangzhou and encounter spring in the fragrant mountains!

The sweet osmanthus flowers in Manjuelong and the red maple leaves around Jiuxi complement each other, creating a beautiful autumn scene. - Winter (December–February): If it snows, Jiuxi is covered in white snow, creating a unique and tranquil beauty. Photo Spots - Jiuxi Yanshu: The clear stream, tea plantation, and distant mountains form a perfect backdrop for photos, whether you're shooting landscapes or portraits.

Do not go to deep or dangerous areas. Follow the signs during the hike and do not leave the trail to enter undeveloped areas. - Environmental protection: Protect the environment. Do not litter. Keep the scenic area clean.

Don't just focus on West Lake, Nine Creeks is a spring treasure I thought the beauty of West Lake was unique, until I stepped into Nine Creeks in Hangzhou, I realized what a hidden gem it is! Nine Creeks is called "Little Jiuzhaigou" by many people. Here, the streams flow, the bamboo forests are as dense as a green ocean, and the tea gardens are filled with the aroma of tea.

Hey friends, hiking in Shili Langdang was definitely the highlight of my Hangzhou trip🎉! We wisely avoided the crowded attractions like Lingyin Temple and opted for a hike in less-traveled areas like Jiuxi and Shili Langdang. Initially, we were worried about hiking in the rain and the long route, but after experiencing it firsthand, we realized we would have regretted missing it. In the late winter and early spring, amidst the misty rain, walking through the area felt just like the leisurely scene depicted in the poem, "With bamboo staff and straw sandals, lighter than a horse, I embrace the misty rain with a peaceful heart." 📖 Here's my favorite route: Start from the Meijiawu bus stop—head to Shili Langdang—walk to Sanfencha (the three-way intersection south of the "Sanfencha" marker on the map, then continue south)—arrive at Zhenji Temple (a great spot to grab some instant noodles)—then to Jiuxicun Village—take the sightseeing bus to Jiuxi Yanshu—stroll through the Jiuxi Eighteen Streams—finally, choose to go to Yangmeiling or Longjingcun Village. 🙌 Meijiawu was my favorite village on this trip, natural and rustic, yet to be overdeveloped. Instead of starting the hike from the Shili Langdang archway, we took the second intersection on the right, which led us to the stone steps of Shili Langdang. Along the way, we stumbled upon a stunning hillside tea garden and natural scenery, which was absolutely my favorite part of the entire journey. Unfortunately, on my second visit, perhaps because the rain had stopped, three large dogs blocked a village road, forcing us to turn back. 👍 South of Shili Langdang is Zhenji Temple, a place said to have been visited by Chairman Mao multiple times. They offer affordable instant noodles, and the temple staff are very welcoming. We took a break there for lunch. 🚌 This loop is quite long. Once you reach Jiuxicun Village, consider taking the scenic sightseeing bus for CNY 8 per person. It's a great deal and takes you directly to Jiuxi Yanshu, from where you can continue on foot. ⭐ Both Longjingcun Village and Yangmeiling are great choices for your final destination. Both have convenient bus stops, but be sure to check the operating hours. The route to Longjingcun Village is a stone path with many streams, while the route to Yangmeiling features gentle slopes and high-tree swamps. Each has its own unique charm. ❗ Finally, a reminder: The section between Shili Langdang and Jiuxi can be slippery when it rains, so avoid the central stone path. Meijiawu has many private tea gardens and non-scenic roads that can be dangerous. Stick to the stone steps, be careful not to get lost, and avoid venturing onto the wild mountainside. So, are you tempted to try this route💓? Let me know in the comments~

We wisely avoided the crowded attractions in Hangzhou such as Lingyin Temple, and chose less popular places such as Jiuxi and Shili Langyao for hiking. I was originally worried about hiking in the rain and the long route, but in reality I really felt that I would regret it if I didn't come. In late winter and early spring, the mist and rain are hazy, just like the hiking experience of "a bamboo stick and straw sandals are lighter than a horse, and a raincoat can protect you from the mist and rain for the rest of your life". My favorite route: Meijiawu Bus Station - Shililangyao - Sanfencha (at the three-way intersection south of the Sanfencha mark on the map, then go south) - Zhenjiyuan (instant noodle supply point) - Jiuxi Village - sightseeing bus to Jiuxi Yanshu - Jiuxi Shibajian - Yangmeiling/Longjing Village. Meijiawu is my favorite village on this trip. It is naturally simple and not overdeveloped. At the beginning, we did not go up the mountain from the archway of Shili Langyao. Instead, we went around to the stone steps of Shili Langyao from the second intersection on the right. On the way, we encountered a large area of ​​beautiful hillside tea plantations and natural scenery. This was my favorite scenery of the whole trip. Unfortunately, when I came the second time, I don’t know if it was because the rain had stopped, but a village road was blocked by three large domestic dogs, so I had no choice but to return. There is a temple called Zhenjiyuan in the south of Shili Langyao, and it is said that great men have visited it many times. There are very affordable instant noodle supplies and enthusiastic temple staff. We took a short break here at noon. 🚌Because this loop route is really long, after arriving at Jiuxi Village, you can consider taking the scenic area's sightseeing bus, which costs 8 yuan per person, which is really conscience, and then go directly to Jiuxi Yanshu and continue walking. ⭐The final destination can be Longjing Village or Yangmeiling, both of which have very convenient bus stops, but you need to pay attention to the operating hours. The road towards Longjing Village is stone and has many streams, while the road towards Yangmeiling is gentle slopes and tall trees and swamps, both of which have their own unique charm. ❗When it rains, the road between Shili Langyao and Jiuxi is slippery, so don't walk on the stone slabs in the middle. Meijiawu has many private tea gardens and non-scenic roads, which are somewhat dangerous. It is recommended to follow the stone steps closely, be careful not to get lost, and don't just go down and end up on the wild mountains.

In ancient times, there was a mysterious place called Shili Langdang. This ancient land is full of legends and is famous for its magnificent natural scenery and unique cultural landscapes. Shili Langdang is located in a vast green forest, with steep terrain and a quiet environment. The mountains here are undulating, with peaks and ridges, and lush greenery, like a huge painting unfolding before the world. Every morning, when the golden sunlight shines on the mountains, it creates a beautiful picture with the green trees. Many ancient legends and stories are passed down on this magical land. It is said that a long time ago, Shili Langdang was a mysterious fairyland, inhabited by various gods and spirits. They had magical powers and could control the mysteries of nature. Although those gods and spirits have left, their legends still circulate in Shili Langdang, adding a touch of mystery and romance to this land. A group of brave people live on this land. They make their home in the mountains and forests, living by hunting and farming. They respect nature and live in harmony with it, forming a unique cultural tradition. In their hearts, Shili Langdang is not only a land that nurtures them but also a place full of wisdom and strength. On the edge of Shili Langdang, there is an ancient temple. This temple has stood the test of time and remains standing. Inside the temple, there are statues of various gods and ancestors, which, despite the passage of time, still appear solemn and sacred. Every year during the Lunar New Year, the people gather here to hold grand sacrificial activities, praying for the protection and blessing of the gods. In addition to its magnificent natural scenery and unique cultural traditions, Shili Langdang is also famous for its cuisine. The ingredients here are all local specialties, carefully cooked to present mouth-watering delicacies. The most popular dish is the local fish feast, which is not only delicious but also incorporates unique ethnic flavors, attracting countless diners to taste it. Today, with the development of tourism, Shili Langdang has gradually become a popular tourist destination. Tourists from all over the world come here to admire the scenery, taste the food, and learn about the cultural traditions. Here, they can feel the magical charm of nature, understand the importance of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature, and appreciate the cultural heritage passed down for thousands of years. In short, Shili Langdang is a place full of mystery, romance, and beauty. It is not only an excellent tourist destination, a paradise for food, and a treasure trove of culture; it is also a place where people can feel the intertwining of nature and human civilization; a magical place that makes people yearn for and linger.

When you come to Hangzhou, you must take this beautiful parent-child hiking route~ I came to Hangzhou again. I have walked through the Nine Creeks and Eighteen Gorges several times before. This time we changed direction and took the Faxi Temple-Longjing Village line. The whole journey is free, except for the uphill steps from Faxi Temple to Yangfengling. Kindergarten babies can walk the whole way by themselves, which is quite easy. 🌿Route: Faxi Temple - Yangfeng Ridge - Shili Langyao - Longjing Village - Jiuxi Shibajian - Jiuxi Personally, I think the best part of the scenery is the dozens of miles of Langyao. Looking down at the lush green tea fields, dotted with red autumn trees 🍁, it’s so beautiful! The second is the Jiuxi Shibajian section. There are many wading sections, which are full of wild fun. We started slowly at 1 or 2 pm. Along the way, I was picking fruits, picking leaves, looking at the scenery, and stopping to eat and drink... We reached the Jiuxi exit at around 17:00. It is recommended to set off in the morning so that the whole journey can be more leisurely. You can also have lunch in Longjing Village.

On a sunny day, head to the ten-mile Langdang. A day with tea gardens and West Lake ⛰️🍃 
Release dopamine every Monday. Hike and see the mountains, tea trees, lively and peaceful, arranged in the green valley. When you reach the top of the mountain, on a sunny day, the entire West Lake is clearly visible. Nature is indeed a cure for anxiety. In the mountains and fields, the city and trivialities seem to be illuminated by Doraemon's shrinking lamp, insignificant. The joy of climbing also reaches its peak at this moment. ⛰️ Hiking route: 🧗: Meijiawu - Sanfencha - Longjing Village ⏰: About 2 hours, about 3.5 km 🧭: Navigate to "Meijiawu Bus Station" 🌟: The entire route passes through terraced tea gardens, with highlights overlooking Hangzhou City and the entire West Lake ✔️ Meijiawu: Starting from Meijiawu, the starting point is at the Shili Langdang Archway, passing through tea gardens and mountains, 1,960 steps to the top of the mountain. ✔️ Sanfencha: Sanfencha is the high point of the entire route, overlooking the entire West Lake. ✔️ Longjing Village: After descending from the terraced tea gardens in Longjing Village, those with good physical strength can choose to go to Jiuxi to continue playing in the water. 🎒 Hiking checklist: ▫️ Choosing good weather is very important. On a clear day, the visibility is high, and the West Lake is clearly visible. ▫️ If you have trekking poles, bring them. The uphill and downhill roads will also make your knees much more comfortable. ▫️ A lightweight backpack, with some water and energy snacks, is not available in the mountains. Sometimes there is water for sale at the top of the mountain. ▫️ If you plan to go to Jiuxi to play in the water, you can prepare stream shoes. ▫️ Bring mosquito repellent, there are mosquitoes in the mountains from May to October. ▫️ And sunscreen and sun hats, don't get sunburned.

In Hangzhou, October is a great time for hiking and mountain climbing. Hangzhou is surrounded by mountains on three sides, making it perfect for hiking. Among the many hiking routes, the "Shili Langdang" route is perfect for autumn. ➡️Route: Meijiawu - Shili Langdang - Sanfencha - Longjing Village The route is scenic, with tea gardens, osmanthus, maple leaves, ancient villages, bamboo forests, and tea tasting. It's not too tiring and is suitable for beginners. 🚶Start from Meijiawu Bus Station, find the Shili Langdang archway, and follow the mountain path for about 40 minutes to Sanfencha. This section is uphill and can be tiring, but the view at the top is worth it. Descend towards Longjing Village, where you can enjoy tea and farmhouse meals. Tea house prices are similar, ranging from CNY 20 to over CNY 100 per person, depending on the tea grade. Be cautious of touts on the roadside. You can also go in the opposite direction and descend at Meijiawu, a famous tea village in Hangzhou. Meijiawu is close to Songcheng, a Southern Song Dynasty theme park.

Langdang Ridge, also known as Langdang Ridge, was formerly known as Menbi Ridge. It originally referred to the ridge east of Tianzhu Mountain, west of Longjing Village, and northeast of Meijiawu Village. Traditionally, the ridge extending from Wuyun Mountain in the south to Tianzhu in the north is collectively called 'Langdang Ridge.' Because the ridge meanders for several kilometers, it is also known as 'Ten Li Langdang,' or 'Ten Li Langdang.' The geological and geomorphological features of Langdang Ridge Scenic Area are mainly limestone, naturally forming a landscape of overlapping peaks and diverse mountain forests. It is the highest and longest ridge among the mountains of West Lake, with an average altitude of over 200 meters, offering a broad and clear view. It is one of the most beloved forest tourism destinations in West Lake for citizens and tourists of Hangzhou. The ancient path still maintains its original route and traditional ground paving.

Springtime in Hangzhou, this beautiful city, always brings endless surprises to people. In this season, I stumbled upon a hiking paradise - Ten Li Langdang. It is not only a favorite leisure spot for locals but also a dream destination for photography enthusiasts and hiking lovers. Following the winding path, every step feels like walking on the imprints of history. Especially before the Qingming Festival, the tea-picking scene in Longjing Village is picturesque. In the lush green tea gardens, the tea-picking women move their fingers lightly, dancing with the fragrance of tea overflowing, as if the entire spring has been encapsulated in these tender green leaves. The beauty of Ten Li Langdang lies not only in its natural scenery but also in the tranquility and harmony it embodies, as if time slows down here. Standing on the mountaintop, overlooking the serenity of West Lake, an indescribable emotion wells up in the heart. The scenery of the tea mountains here has the grace of the southern water towns, yet does not lose the grandeur of nature. Wandering through Ten Li Langdang, every step is a purification of the soul. The beauty here not only makes one linger but also provides a peaceful haven in the midst of the bustling city. If you are also interested in such a hiking trip, why not come to Ten Li Langdang and experience the spring colors of the tea mountains, allowing your soul to relax and elevate amidst the greenery.

How can there be such a beautiful hiking trail in such an urban area? As soon as you enter the JiuXi bus station, you are captivated by the misty jungle and stream. Walking further into the mountains, the streams are crystal clear and the tea gardens lush green. It's a blissful four hours of oxygen intake, following the route from JiuXi to JiuXi YanShu to Longjing Village to Shili Langdang to Wuyun Mountain, which takes close to four hours. The only challenging part is the climb at Shili Langdang!

Spring is the busy season for tea picking🌿 Climbing the tea mountains is the most suitable activity. The tea mountains near Longjing village rise along the slopes, presenting a spectacular view. The uniformly dressed tea farmers, with their straw hats, are busily picking the tea leaves. . 🚶Route: From the Ten-mile Langya Archway to the three-way fork and back the same way, the route is not too difficult, and children can complete it with occasional rests. 📷: The most photogenic spots are in the first half of the journey; those who only wish to take photos can even turn back at the pavilion at the beginning (the pavilion is shown in the last picture). 🚗Transportation: During the tea season, the area is crowded, and taxis are regulated so it's hard to get a ride to Longjing village. It's also not recommended to drive as it's congested, and even walking is difficult. It's suggested to travel by two-wheeled vehicles🛵🚴

Starting from the ten-mile Langying signpost, a direct climb of about 3 kilometers takes you to a three-way junction, and then you can head down. Returning the same way is already very tiring. It is advised that everyone should proceed according to their ability. There are no toilets or places to sit on the way up, you can only keep ascending. It is only on the way down that you will find places selling food and drinks, so make sure to bring enough supplies. The scenery is incredibly beautiful, just like the scenes from Wu Lei's new movie 'The World of Plants and People'. The movie was filmed right here. It feels like going on a cloudy or rainy day would be more atmospheric than on a sunny day.

Hello, I am the little hero Black Warrior~ Unexpectedly, Hangzhou can also offer a spring mountain hike! I've been to Hangzhou many times, but only now did I discover this walking route. The greenery is so healing to the eyes, and it's also perfect for weekend warriors to check in! . 📆Route Plan: Meijiawu - Shili Langdang - Sanfenchai - Longjing Village - Jiuxi Eighteen Streams - Jiuxi Yan Village - Jiuxi Bus Station (Qiantang River) . 🚗Transportation Strategy: Take the bus to Meijiawu Station, and right across is the entrance to the Shili Langdang hiking trail~ . 🌟Trip Highlights: 1. This hiking route is relatively easy in terms of order. There are steps in Meijiawu indicating how many you've climbed, and the steps are quite even, so it's quite relaxing~ 2. From Sanfenchai, you can overlook the West Lake; the tea gardens and the West Lake create a layered picture~ 3. The tea gardens in Longjing Village are healing, with a broad view~ This path is a downhill route, with steeper steps, so it would be more tiring if you were going uphill. You can also find a place to sit and enjoy some Longjing tea~ 4. Jiuxi Eighteen Streams has a small stream, which is more comfortable after climbing. The exit at Jiuxi Bus Station is right beside the Qiantang River, where you can enjoy the river view~ . 📌Little Tips: 1. Wear comfortable clothing or shoes for hiking~ You can also wear Hanfu to take some photos~ 2. It's recommended to use the restroom at Meijiawu first, as the entire hiking route takes about 3-4 hours, and there won't be another restroom until you reach Longjing Village~ 3. You can bring your own tea and food
