| Tonglu. Memories of my trip to Tonglu last October! I went during the dry season, so the river was almost dry. I couldn't sit on the stone steps and roll up my pants to play in the water, but the scenery was still beautiful! Green mountains, clear water, stone steps, ancient paths, and streams. It's a great place to relax and get close to nature! Shishe Village is actually very small, but it has its own characteristics. The Maling Ancient Path is quite long, and you can walk through a large bamboo forest. It's great for hiking and relaxing on the weekend. There are local residents selling jabuticaba in the village, which is rarely seen elsewhere. It tastes good, so you can try it! The local food is also delicious! I randomly found a small restaurant in the village, and it turned out to be surprisingly delicious! Daqishan National Forest Park is a lot of fun! The water is very green, reflecting the koi and white clouds. It feels like my eyes have been washed clean. Daqishan has many amusement facilities and is quite large. There are bamboo forests and small waterfalls, making it a great place for hiking and bringing kids to play! I didn't have time to visit other places like Yanziling Fishing Platform and Fuchun Mountain, but I heard they are also beautiful. If you want to go, you may need to stay in Tonglu for two days. Reminder: Shishe Village is really small, and the only photogenic place is the stone steps at the entrance of the village. If you're not specifically coming to hike the ancient path, there's no need to make a special trip. When my friend and I came, we found it was only this big, which was a bit disappointing. But then we thought, although it's small, it's beautiful. Coming to the mountains to hike the ancient path and breathe fresh air is actually quite nice, especially since the mountains in Tonglu are connected to the water, stretching endlessly, and are very green. It's truly picturesque. Secondly, Tonglu doesn't have a subway, and the attractions are far apart. The buses are also infrequent (about every 30 minutes to Shishe Village), and taxis aren't cheap, so it's best to drive yourself for a weekend getaway. It will be more convenient and ideal. I hope everyone has a great time!

Route: Lutz Village - Take a taxi to Shishe Village - Maoping Village - Baibu Street - Xiekengkou Village - Back to Lutz Village, about 12km in total 【First Section Shishe Village】 1. It's hard to hail a taxi, it took half an hour to find one... If you really can't find one, there's a bus every half hour 2. The shops in Shishe Village are quite interesting, like the 'Panic Yarn' store. Many people recommend staying in Shishe, but I didn't see many guesthouses actually 3. The most beautiful view of Shishe Village is at the beginning of the ancient trail, where you can see the panoramic view of the village and the S-shaped river, surrounded by green mountains and waters – it's simply wonderful~ 【Second Section Maoping Village】 1. The signs on the ancient trail in Maoping Village are not very clear, we felt something was wrong and took a wild path down the mountain into the village halfway. The villagers said the ancient trail stops here for a while, and the second half continues from the bottom of the mountain 2. There's a small market in the village center square, bought a bottle of beef sauce which tasted good, zongzi and fermented rice dumplings were also delicious (probably because we were hungry, there seems to be no restaurants in the village 3. There's a beautiful ancient bridge, and under the bridge, there's even a 'Bridge Hole Coffee' hidden, you have to admire the owner's creativity! On both sides of the bridge hole, it's like a barbecue camp, several tables of people are enjoying their drinks, under the green trees, over the green river, with a breeze blowing, it's just too comfortable~ 【Third Section Baibu Street】 The new section of the ancient trail, from the mountains to the fields, passing through large farmlands, comes to Baibu Street Pavilion, next to it is a thousand-year-old camphor tree, which commands respect 【Fourth Section Xiekengkou Village】 Walking forward to the main road, following the steps of a teahouse down, there's a half-moon-shaped dam, you can walk across, but your shoes might get a bit wet in the middle. The shore is a bit slippery, be very careful! We witnessed a boy falling into the water, it wasn't deep and not dangerous, but it was really embarrassing.. 【Fifth Section Lutz Village】 1. On the way from Xiekengkou to Lutz, we crossed another green mountain and a maple forest, and met a sexy little wild cat rubbing against our legs, couldn't help but stroke it a few times 2. Finally, we successfully returned to my great Lutz Village, I thought 12km would be difficult, but after walking and stopping for five or six hours, I didn't feel tired at all 3. Decided to treat myself in the evening, went to the best barbecue restaurant in town recommended by the villagers, local specialties like grilled fish tail and stinky tofu were all good (ate back all the weight I lost today). After eating, went for a foot massage, couldn't find a very formal one so settled for one, but didn't expect to be able to sing karaoke in a foot massage shop haha In the end, I don't know who designed the Malingshan Ancient Trail, but I'm very grateful. From the mountains, fields, waters, to the forests, each section is full of wild fun and surprises. Special praise for the small canal that accompanied us all the way, clear and lively, picked a small flower along the way and put it in the canal, then followed the speed of the flower drifting, and realized that not rushing and walking slowly feels really good
