Ningbo Hiking | Mountain-Sea Trail, Beacon Tower, Windmill Road

Dear outdoor hiking and mountain climbing enthusiasts: Today, we recommend a route that combines historical relics with stunning scenery: Zongtai Mountain Beacon Tower - Yunyin Temple - Windmill Road - Guoju East Gate Village 🗺️ Route Overview and Core Experience This hiking route is not just about walking; it offers you a magnificent landscape where mountains meet the sea, centuries of historical heritage, and the visual spectacle of the Eastern Port and modern wind power projects. · Key data reference: The route is about 12 kilometers long, suitable for all ages because the entire path is well-maintained. Track reference: Two Steps 15296714 ✔ Cultural Landmark: Zongtai Mountain Beacon Tower: This is the historical high point of the entire journey and a patriotic education base. The beacon tower, built from stone slabs, is hundreds of years old. It was named "Zongtai Mountain" in ancient times because it overlooks the sea area and oversees multiple beacon towers. Standing here, you can truly feel the weight of history. ✔ Intersection of Nature and Culture: Yunyin Temple: The temple that looks least like a temple, more like a Song Dynasty art gallery nestled in the mountains, bringing Buddhism down to a level that meets the world eye to eye. ✔ Popular Photo Spot: Windmill Road: The continuous power windmills along the ridge are the most photogenic scenery here. The huge windmills slowly turn under the blue sky and white clouds, with the backdrop of the deep blue coastline, making it perfect for photos. 🚗 Transportation and Itinerary Suggestions · Navigate to the Guoju East Gate Village Cultural Hall as the starting point for the hike, where free parking 🅿 is available. If you choose public transportation, take Metro Line 1 to Xiapu, then transfer to bus 759/711 to Guoju, get off, and walk or take a taxi to the starting point. · Trip Tips: · There is an iron gate blocking the middle of Windmill Road; you can bypass it on the left side of the gate, as it only blocks vehicles. · There is little shelter on the mountain, and the sun is strong on sunny days, so be sure to take sun protection measures. · It is recommended to wear comfortable sports shoes and bring enough water. Imagine standing on the ancient beacon tower, with history on your left hand, modern windmills on your right, and the Eastern Port and endless ocean ahead. This sense of time and space convergence is the most unique charm of this hiking trip.
