I have basically walked through the mountains by the West Lake and want to climb the surrounding mountains.
On the weekend, I made an appointment with three friends and prepared to go to Daijia mountain in Tonglu, but the friend who drove was too far away and proposed to be closer, and later we chose to go to The Trail Mountain in Yuhang District.
The word says jìng, I keep saying jīng, no wonder I don't know what they're discussing for half a day. However, when I knew that I was going to "Trail Mountain", I readily agreed. Because I have heard about it for a long time, I have never been here.
The video has been released, and I feel that the guide still needs to be sorted out by pictures and texts, so I wrote this article.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="9" > scenery along the way </h1>
Whether you are driving or taking a bus, first go to the "Tongqiao Bus Station".
Before climbing the mountain, hungry, the three people were at the "old soup noodle restaurant" opposite the entrance of the ancient road, ate a bowl of noodles, filled their stomachs and went up the mountain.
The entrance to the trail is more eye-catching, and there are free hiking poles to take, which is very sweet. Along the gentle steps, without taking a few steps, is the mountain gate written with "Cool Law Boundary", surrounded by quiet verdant bamboo is tall and thick, and the coolness strikes.
This ancient road, which was built in the Tang Dynasty, has a total length of about 3 kilometers, and the ancient road has been built very well. I walked so many mountain trails, trails and mountains are the most beautiful, all kinds of stone, ancient method repair, full of ingenuity. It is said that the earliest trail was a natural mountain stone road, which was paved with steps in particularly steep places, and now after reconstruction, the climbing is more comfortable and safer.
All the way through the Zuxin Pavilion, Jinshan Pavilion, Qianwang Bullet Rock, Banshan Pavilion, Wash Heart Pavilion, Buddha Holy Water, Shengshou Wujian, Wangjiang Pavilion, Eighteen Luohan Platform, Dongpo Wash Yan Pond and other more than a dozen landscapes, and finally through the Royal Monument Pavilion and reach the Jingshan Temple on the top of the mountain, where "Shengshou Boundless" and "Buddha Holy Water" are two Southern Song Dynasty stone carvings, the whole journey takes about 1.5 hours.
The bamboo forest and tea plantations along the ancient road are very eye-catching and comfortable, while the gentle slopes, wide steps, complete instructions and toilets, and just the right pavilion make walking on the ancient road easy and comfortable. Climbing down as a whole, I feel that the height of the trail mountain ancient road is appropriate, the climbing is not tired, and the environment is comparable to the Yunqi Bamboo Trail, which is equivalent to the combination of 8 Yunqi Bamboo Trails.
Jingshan Temple, with the reputation of "the first of the five major Zen temples in Jiangnan", has an ancient temple of the Tang Dynasty more than 1200 years ago. During the Southern Song Dynasty, Jingshan Temple was already a favorite place for many elegant people at that time. Not only that, but many Japanese monks have traveled thousands of miles to study here.
Among them, the Japanese monk Yuan'er, who founded Chongfu Temple, Seongten-ji Temple and Tofuku-ji Temple in Japan, brought Jingshan tea to Japan, not only bringing the tea seeds of Jingshan Temple, but also integrating the production method of Jingshan tea and improving it into matcha.
The Trail Mountain Trail is inseparable from the Trail Mountain Temple at the top of the mountain, which was originally a road for pilgrims to climb the mountain, and it is also through this ancient road that the Zen tea culture of The Trail Mountain has gone to the world.
After we arrived at jingshan temple, we didn't go in, and we returned to the same way, and then went to the wash heart pavilion to drink tea.
This is really a good place to drink tea, the view is wide, the mountains in the distance are continuous, because the weather has just been thundered, the air is too good, there are no mosquitoes, the mountain wind blows, it feels as if autumn has arrived, it is really very pleasant, better than any teahouse.
The three who went with me, a layman, brought a set of tea sets, a painter, carrying a pot of wine, a violinist, held up a sound larger than the face, and I, who called myself a photographer, did not bring a camera, which was too heavy.
The four of them accompanied by Bamboo Tao drinking tea and listening to music, sitting idly for half a day, each not knowing what they had appreciated, each sending a circle of friends, before going down the mountain. There are slightly drunk people who actually climb bamboo and jump down the mountain, forgetting their age.
This interesting period of tatsumi is unforgettable, and I will come back to the temple to eat a bowl of vegetarian noodles.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="24" > strategy and summary </h1>
To sum up, we spent a total of about 6 hours, the whole journey is 52 kilometers, the highest altitude is 545 meters, we drove to the ancient road crossing, then the actual climb from the ancient road mouth to the trail mountain temple, the climb is 352 meters. The trail is 2 km long and takes about 1.5 hours to stop and go. It should be said that the bamboo forest and tea garden along the way are very eye-catching and very comfortable to walk.
Bottom line: I highly recommend you to come here on the weekend, and it doesn't hurt to come here a few times.
