Lin'an Thousand-Mu Field, a breathtaking hiking treasure!

🚶‍♂️ I only knew it was high before, but this time when I actually walked above it and looked down, the view was unbelievably beautiful—every frame was like a masterpiece! ✨Thousand-Mu Field! Not too difficult, but the scenery is absolutely top-notch. Along the way, you'll be accompanied by the crisp songs of birds, like a symphony of nature. 🌿**Recommended Classic Route: Tianmu Twin Peaks Loop** Yaowang Peak + Thousand-Mu Field, about 12 km in total with 900 meters of elevation gain. Fit hikers can finish in 5 hours, while most people take no more than 7 hours. It’s the perfect weekend getaway to relax and recharge! 📍**Navigation & Route Choice:** Set your GPS to **Feilengcui Homestay**. There are parking spots near the trailhead. Alternatively, you can navigate to **Taoran New Residence**, but it’s highly recommended to hike the route **clockwise** from Taoran New Residence toward Feilengcui! Don’t go counterclockwise—otherwise, the long "stone wave" descent at Thousand-Mu Field will become a grueling uphill climb. Trust me, you don’t want that—it’s exhausting! 🗺 **Detailed Trail Conditions (check the comments for GPS tracks):** 1. Start near Feilengcui, walk a short stretch of road to the official trailhead. 2. Then comes the lung-busting steep climb—about 1 km with 400+ meters of elevation gain. You’ll need some stamina here. 3. Next, you’ll enter a tractor path with continuous ups and downs. The grass growing alongside now adds a wild charm to the scenery. 4. After scrambling up a few rocky slopes (hands and feet required), you’ll reach the summit of Yaowang Peak! A bit further ahead is the main peak of Thousand-Mu Field. 5. The most patience-testing part is the famous "stone wave" descent—steep and rocky, so watch your step and take it slow. This section can take a while. 6. Once safely down, turn left and follow the loop back, descending until you reach Taoran New Residence, then take the road downhill. There aren’t many forks, so just follow your instincts. 🌟 **Hiking Tips:** * **Difficulty:** The trail isn’t too hard—even beginners with basic fitness can conquer it! * **Hydration:** **Staying hydrated is key in summer!** The elevation gain is no joke, so bring enough water—at least 5 bottles per person. Running out of water mid-hike is miserable. * **Attire:** Shorts and a T-shirt are fine—no risk of scratches. But! Don’t forget a hat! The tractor path section is brutally sunny, and overdressing can lead to heatstroke. Protect yourself! 📢 **Protect the environment—it’s everyone’s duty!** Please, please take all your trash with you! This is the **Salamander Nature Reserve**, home to many rare creatures and birds 🙆‍♀️. Let’s work together to preserve this pristine land! 🔄 Don’t let trash ruin the beauty! Come to Thousand-Mu Field and experience its tranquility and grandeur! 🏃‍♂️
