Siming Mountain Cross Pants Hiking Shanghai - Yuyao

Recently, the crowds going to Siming Mountain to enjoy the autumn scenery have been huge. On 11/15, there was a massive traffic jam. There is no signal on the mountain at all, so you can't even pay for things. Important: If you are going to see the golden larch, you can skip it as most have already fallen. The autumn scenery is still worth seeing; Siming Mountain is very beautiful. Transportation: Depart from Shanghai, take the high-speed train to Yuyao North, costing a little over 100 yuan. From the high-speed train station, you can choose to take a taxi or bus, but the distance is quite far. Driving takes 1h30m, bus takes 2h30m. Take bus 102/106 and transfer to E02 to Lingxi bus station (if no traffic jams). Return trip: From Lingxi bus station, take E02 and transfer to 101 to Yuyao North Station, about 2h30m. There are many people and cars on the mountain, so it's basically impossible to get a taxi. If you don’t drive, it’s recommended to take the bus down and then get a taxi. Note: Many buses depart at fixed times, one every 30 minutes. If you want to have plenty of time and be relaxed and unhurried, it’s recommended to book a hotel or guesthouse and stay overnight. Enter the mountain early the next day to avoid congestion. Accommodation: If you want to stay closer, you can stay in Dalan Town or near the old Siming Mountain bus station on the mountain. You can take the bus to Lingxi early in the morning, which is very close, about 20 minutes by bus. There are small supermarkets and restaurants. Or find a hotel or guesthouse at the foot of the mountain and drive or take the bus up the next day. Hiking routes: There are many route options. Small loop: 8-9 km Large loop: 11-12 km There are also fire prevention routes and other routes with more climbing. Choose the route you want, download the track, and go according to your preference. Gear: Two bottles of water + energy drinks, chocolate/bread/beef jerky... Trekking poles Non-slip shoes (some places in the forest are quite slippery, so be sure to wear non-slip shoes) It’s recommended to bring a thick jacket to put on or take off depending on the temperature Quick-dry clothing underneath Knee pads ... There is a supply point at the Cross Pants landmark, and along the way, there are places selling coffee and snacks. There are toilets in the mountain, some of which are dry toilets. Tips: Friends taking the bus must pay close attention to departure times, especially on the return trip. Missing one bus may cause you to miss your high-speed train. Calculate your time carefully and book your train tickets in advance. Siming Mountain is very beautiful. I hope everyone comes with excitement, leaves satisfied, and leaves no trace in the wilderness. Have a safe and happy hike!
