It's snowing on Dragon King Mountain! The rime is really beautiful! Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai can make a round trip in one day
It's snowing on Dragon King Mountain❄️! The first snow of this winter in Zhejiang has finally arrived! For friends in the south, this heavy snow seals the mountain, and the world covered in silver is really rare! Friends from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai can make a round trip in one day, hurry up!
🕹️About the itinerary: 🚗1. First of all, self-driving is recommended. I set off from Shanghai and navigated to the wilderness of the sky city. 🚌2. If you don't drive by yourself, you can join a tour group, basically all within 200 meters, the bus goes to the foot of the mountain. At present, because there are many people on weekends, the bus can only be at the foot of the mountain, and the actual starting point for hiking up the mountain is still 7KM away. Those who follow the group should be mentally prepared (maybe half of the physical strength is consumed before going up the mountain) and return on the same day.
🛠️About equipment: 1. Ice claws/mountain climbing sticks/hot water cups/outdoor anti-slip and waterproof shoes/self-heating pots are essential; clothing must be outdoor warm clothes down/ hats are also necessary; other arrangements are discretionary.
💚💚About the route: Everyone basically walks in a loop, don't worry about going the wrong way if you don't follow the group, there are people everywhere on weekends, if not 10,000, there are 5,000, just follow the crowd.
‼️Note: Be sure to control the time for going up and down the mountain. It is best to arrive at the foot of the mountain at 10 o'clock in the morning. The mountain road is difficult to walk. Counting the time for taking pictures and eating along the way, it takes about 3 hours to reach the top. Special forces also need 1 hour. It gets dark early in winter, and you must retreat at the latest at 3:30. As soon as the sun sets, the mountain is cold and dark, and the road is slippery and difficult to walk. Don't be brave!
📷About equipment: This time I brought a drone and a camera up. If you can, bring a drone, the aerial photography is very beautiful; if you use a camera, I strongly recommend a medium and long focus, the mountain view is very open, the medium and long focus effectively compresses the space, making the snow mountain more majestic; these pictures are all shot with a Tamron 70-180 f2.8, it's really not easy to carry a load up the mountain, I only brought this lens, the lightweight body effectively reduces the load, and it's also smaller than the original factory, it's convenient to operate in the icy and snowy environment. In this extremely cold environment, it also withstood the test and completed the shooting!

Mountain climbing guide and suggestions
Address: It is recommended to join a group or drive by yourself and park near Xiyou Village (the road is quite icy and dangerous). Change to local villagers' vehicles (20 per person) and arrive at the entrance of Dragon King Mountain about eight kilometers away.
1. Climbing distance:
The entire small loop of mountain climbing is about 5-8 kilometers, with a total ascent of about 600 meters. The first half is all uphill, and lunch is served after reaching the firebreak.
2. Clothing suggestions:
Quick-drying long-sleeved shirt + down jacket + storm jacket + soft shell pants + climbing shoes (in case you are afraid of getting your pants, shoes, and socks wet, you can prepare a set of clothes + pants + shoes + socks, clean ones to replace in the car)
3. Equipment:
Please wear suitable for casual sports, wear sports shoes/climbing shoes, climbing sticks, gloves, hats, sunglasses, power bank, rain gear, ID card, bring 2-3 bottles of water or functional drinks (it is recommended to bring a thermos)
4. Special items:
Ice claws, hand warmers, cling film (wrap shoes to prevent water ingress)
5. Time suggestion:
Depart in the morning, because it gets dark after 5 o'clock. There are many vendors at the foot of the mountain after descending, selling things like stewed noodles and roasted sweet potatoes.
Total hiking itinerary: 2.5h up the mountain, one hour of rest and photography on the mountain, 1.5h down the mountain. We set off at 8 o'clock in the morning, and it takes about an hour to drive from the city of Hangzhou. Return to the city at 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
